Why the immense praise for "Galina" you guys are acting like the song is one of the best songs ever but I just don't get it? Nnn I played it like 4 times and it's still not hitting. It's definitely cute tho Which part would you recommend I pay attention to? First time listening to it right now and I think it’s because it’s so danceable and bouncy. The synths/instrumental just sound amazing, really icy and futuristic, so if that doesn’t do it for you, oh well! Maybe it will grow on you, maybe not lol. 1

Ciel Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I think I need a lot more time with this cause almost nothing clicked and I love her music so far Black Eye & Truly Dreams are the only ones for me. Galina too sort of but I think I just need to hear it a bit more
SweetOreosOfHeaven Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Staying Power serving lyrics that could cut glass Galina is a huge bop, I love that she switches it up in the second verse. This is how you do a cohesive record with variety, the fact that she did all of it herself is beyond impressive. Also I know the cover leaked a long ago but it has become one of my favourite album covers. 1

sha-nasty Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I am SO happy this album exists. I love that most of the songs aren't about love really. Sonically it's like if Depeche Mode made a yassified album so that's awesome. I tried my best to stay away from the leaks but couldn't stop paying Galina & Truly Dreams so I love to see the praise since they deserved to be singles imo 4

NoOneDiesFromLove Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I can't stop playing Weird World it truly is her best song ever, my god And Galina has been growing on me, what a kunty song
Hector Posted February 24 Posted February 24 The album is '80s synthpop done perfectly right. John & Jonathan, Weird World, and Off With Her **** are career highlights
Dante Silva Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Just felt compelled to buy a physical copy without even streaming it to test it out first. I can’t wait for it to arrive. 1
TrueBlood Posted February 24 Posted February 24 This is one of the best pop albums I've heard in a while, definitely an early AOTY contender. 2

RideOrDie Posted February 24 Author Posted February 24 1 minute ago, SpaceOddity said: What the ****. “Galina” “I have really bad eczema in my inner elbows, and I found this Russian lady named Galina at this naturopathic clinic in Toronto. For years, she made me this cream in her kitchen that worked better than steroids. She would always say, 'It cost me more to make this than I'm charging you. I get this man in the Swiss Alps to gather these herbs and I make you this cream.' She was pretty old, so I always worried: 'What happens when Galina retires? It's not like this is some patented product.' So sure enough, in the summer of 2022, I returned to the clinic, and I was like, 'Could I place an order for the cream from Galina?' And the lady was like, 'Oh, Galina has retired.' And I was like, ‘What!?! Did she tell anyone the recipe?' And she was like, 'No, she won't tell. There's nothing we can do—Galina has lost her memory.' So the song is about somebody that you've come to rely on who just coldly leaves your life without something that you need. 3 6

RideOrDie Posted February 24 Author Posted February 24 “John and Jonathan” “I was at a fan meet-and-greet in New York in 2018, and two fans came up and were like, 'Hi, I'm John, and this is my boyfriend, Jonathan. We love your music!' And I was like, ‘Wait—your names are John and Jonathan? Okay, I gotta write a song called “John and Jonathan”!’ I was on a walk in [the Toronto suburb of] Oakville near my parents’ house with my boyfriend, and I remember being on a pier and it just came to me: 'John and Jonathan/Are on the town.' I got so excited and went back home and just started recording right away. I've written so many of my most successful songs in Oakville at my parents' dining room table.” when John and Jonathan broke up and stopped listening to her...
