pavi Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 She talked about Cool Me Down in this interview and I guess that means it's definitely getting released to be on the album. It almost was a single instead of YYY, so I guess she wanted to keep it as a post-album single She also talks about having another song lined up to be released, that could either be tacked on the album, or could be the start of something new, since the sound is different She also has plans to tour Europe/UK!

Slate Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I only liked Lies and Bruises from the new songs. A big downgrade from Sway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diarrhoea Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 This album literally isn’t coherent at all. Sway had flaws in form/production/length but it has a consistent sound (other than, I guess, Mistakes, but at least that’s a decently good song) which this album lacks. The tracklist doesn’t flow at all (why is Bruises the final song? Why is Start Walking after Hardcore?) but there’s no way to put it together cohesively because it doesn’t work. She truly traded in 2017 algorithm-pop for 2020 algorithm-pop two years too late and didn’t even do the pastiche well. I retract every piece of praise I gave her after Kiddo, the biggest fluke of our time one of the worst pop stars around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevinWylde Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I actually kind of like this... Not nearly as tight as Sway but I knew that would be the case with the way the singles were sounding. It's fun and mindless which is what I think she's best at. Also, the new track being added to it a week later isn't nearly that bad, it's already 9 tracks (Sway was 8 tracks, with one track added MONTHS later, and one being a cover of a Lorde song) so whatever way she decides to expand on it I'm fine with.

SitarHero Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) The meltdowns are appropriate but I already had them when she dropped Sway. Cursed to keep checking new releases though Lies, Bruises, and Show Me Love are fine. Free is a contender for WSOTY Edited June 3, 2022 by SitarHero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on atrl would Tove Styrke get these brutal lashings But maybe deserved after what she has put us Turkeys through. Lemme bat a bit for Sway though, some of it was kind of ahead of the curve on the spotipop sound. I don't remember much sounding like Say My Name when it came out and it had its fair share of copycats over the next few years. 34 minutes ago, SitarHero said: The meltdowns are appropriate but I already had them when she dropped Sway.

Why is she giving Emeli Sandé in 2022 But yeah I'll be here when she releases again. Being chained to a third place 2010 Swedish Idol contestant for life is the nature of the homosexual curse.

lover. Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 … Messiness aside, I did thoroughly enjoy this album. The highs are so stellar they make the lows irrelevant. I wasn’t expecting a big pop moment after Sway so I’m glad she served us what she did. My trinity would be YouYouYou, 24H, and Show Me Love.

Yeah, as much as I was annoyed at the time, it had some very good songs and presaged a whole shift in what came afterwards - like I see a direct through line between Sway and something like Mabel's debut album, particularly songs like Mad Love. It probably aged well for a glorified EP which was a big step down from her last album at the time, in a way that this will never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
