Taylor Swift - You're Losing Me (From the Vault)

This is the type of songwriting I expected from all the leadup and hype and backstory around the Midnights era... finally we get a taste of it!
Tate McRae - exes

Taylor Swift - Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)
100
such a momentous and perfect song that captures everything I love about the 1989 era. I really think this is some of her best songwriting ever and is so indicative of her genius
Dua Lipa - Houdini

This may grow on me but I really feel like she had better lead single choices
Poppy - Zig

Carried HARD by the first few and last few tracks. I actually don't mind the more pop-forward sound from Poppy, as I liked her metal releases but this was cool too. It really gets bogged down in the middle though with some terribly simple writing (1s + 0s, Flicker, title track) but there are some immensely catchy tunes here like Knockoff, Hard, and Motorbike. They always get stuck in my head at work and it feels like they'll be there a while

Nice Taylor review!

Your Hit Parade review was incredible and The Spectator's response article was lame. Write 'em off!

I don't know if 77 is a good score in your book but slay!

Oh well, that's a relief aha! IIRC he said in the last mail that there'd be one this week, so I was anticipating it. Thank you, and, if you don't mind me asking, what's your favorite track on ArchAndroid? I must admit that I haven't really dived into Janelle's discog, after all these years of seeing so much love for her, so I'd love to hear someone rave about it to get some insights and thoughts on her music in general!
