The first half of the album is just gorgeous

Joker II might not be a great movie, but this is a great album. She clearly mastered everything she learned from Mr. Tony Bennett and found her own voice in this tranditional pop/jazz world.

Great concept, but need better songs to match up.

The fact that she thought simple lyrics & melodies equal to pop music is what led to her failure in her last three projects.

This is her Talk That Talk, and I Luv It is basically Cockiness (Love It) (2024 Version).

I love the strong, genuine feelings, the emotion bulid-up throughout the song and all the outbursts she brought forward, but what hit me the most is in her reflection of this love story, she finally came to her senses that she did everything she can and "frontline don't you ignore me, I'm the best thing at this party". She's mtfking Taylor Swift, don't everyone ignore that.

Kylie Minogue is the few artists that made some music that people can actually dance to in the club during this disco comeback phase.

If you wanna be the new Lady Gaga, at least have some ambition okay?

When you can stop at the Deluxe Version and won both commercial success and critical appreciation but you choose to go back to the same materials again and again and again and again when everyone is sick and tired, that is what Dua Lipa did in 2020-2022.

Never Really Over and Harleys in Hawaii offered us a glimpse of what the Katy poppy empire used to look like, and Tucked is a pretty funny track, but the rest are the materials she wasn't even gonna touch if we can go back time to the beginning of 2010s. It was empowering when you listen to songs like Firework, but rn when an album is full of pep talks, it just seems a little bit sad.

If you ask me, this is the Song of the Year of 2023

I don't get why you don't like this girl, yes she's not sophisticated or clever but at least she's genuine, that's a real as f characteristic in today's music industry.

NewJeans never mess up. While having Tik-Tok viral track like "Super Shy", the mini-project is still cohesive and appealing, and especially "ETA", which is so great that it brought me straight back to the 00s.

I can't spend 35 minutes of my life listening to somebody yapping about how they don't wanna sing the album, like, if you don't wanna, just quit. The ending track is the only decent one.

We finally came to the destination where P!nk sounds exhausted. C (cut: TRUSTFALL, Never Gonna Not Dance Again)

What's wrong with you Doja? Planet Her is a great project and then after all the hype and crazyness you offered this mid stuff? C (cut: Agora Hills, Attention)

I guess she finally made her way into the A-list artist club again, but this album is in the C-tier

Self-writing album, who these days can handle this project I wonder, almost nobody. While owning the longform epic like "Dear John" and "Last Kiss", the originally poorly produced tracks like "Innocent" and "Haunted" sounded better than ever. Although 2 mid tracks appear in the vault section but that's why they are in the appendix. Lastly I have to mention "Timeless", a tear-triggering instant classic I can see people using in their anniversary ... read more

GUTS is even more bold, grumpy, sexy and playful than the SOUR album, which I had thought was impossible but she made it. In less than 40 minutes, she showed us what a twisted, contradicted, funny, exhilariting human being she is, and we can all relate deeply to that. A

If you are willing to admit it or not, 1989 is the pioneer for the synth-pop retro trend back in the 2010s. She single-handedly ended EDM and opened the way for all the Carly Rae Jepsens and Sigrids. It's a bold step for Taylor, and she nailed it. And 9 yrs later, the re-recording version of it captured its essence and showed us how beautiful the music was back in 2010s, and we are not in it anymore, that's a pity.
