Carly Rae Jepsen - 'Day and Night'
This is perfect, tbh. She's on another level, and is a valedictorian among studied pop girls who just understand the assignment every time. I think my favorite aspects of the album recall late '90s/early '00s electronica in unexpected ways. There's some William Orbit energy at multiple points here, and that's a massive compliment. At different points, I got some of my favorite flavors of Madonna. Bedtime Stories was a surprise, but then other moments felt like ROL and Music (all complimentary). Not surprised to see Pontus Winnberg's name on multiple favorites. Also, at other times, it's the kind of music I wish Aly and AJ would make now. Just saying. It's so adventurous, but so cohesive, too. This is one of my favorites this year already, and may become my favorite album of hers altogether.

Carly Rae Jepsen - 'Day and Night'
This album is a production and alt-pop masterpiece. There's so much to take in on so many levels. She put her whole ass into this one. 😍

Kim Petras - 'Detour' | Rare N' Deluxe
And I said what I said.

Troye Sivan - "Party"
Imo this is another single choice that, down the road, many people (ie, ATRL impulsive first responders) will appreciate more. It's intentional, confident, and the video is a spectacle in so many iconic pop ways.

Kim Petras - 'Detour' | Rare N' Deluxe
Love all of what she did on the extra tracks. This is truly her best project.

Kate Nash - 'Cailín'
Goddamn, "Spilt Milk" is all-timer Kate. Excellent stuff!
-
Troye Sivan - "Party"
The hyperbolics never fail here.
-
Shygirl - 'SWALLOW!'
Oooh I'm ready for this. Her new stuff has been excellent.

Troye Sivan - "Party"
This! I really enjoy STB and I imagine it has its comfy place on the album. I'm expecting this one to be the one most upbeat-Troye fans are waiting for though.

Slayyyter - "CRANK 2"
It slapped live and slaps now.

ADÉLA - 'PRIMA'
I've spent some time with this + the bonus tracks woven in, and I'm enjoying it much more than I did initially. The only track I outright can't get into is "I'm the Man". It feels like such a b-side.

Ellie Goulding - 'I Know Too Much'
Been a fan for ages but this is her first album in a while that I've consistently loved all the way through. Some career highlights in this one!
- Brooke Candy - "VIP"
-
ADÉLA - 'PRIMA'
Oh and "Nasty Dirty Gross" should have absolutely been on the standard album.
-
ADÉLA - 'PRIMA'
Definitely underwhelmed on first listen and agree with those that wish the sound here was less basic. There are definitely some bright spots and I'm super excited to see her live, but I do prefer her approach on the EP much more.

Aly & AJ - 'Live Silver'
Will always love them, but I'm ready for something properly new.
-
JISOO - "CLICK"
I'm so pleasantly surprised by this!
- LISA - "SaWaDiKa"
-
MILEY - 'Bass Persuades'
Wasn't expecting this, but it's fun!
- Slayyyter covers Hole

Camila Cabello - 'C,XOXO'
Give us another rerelease, girl! So glad this is finally getting its little moment.
-
Mariah Carey & Rochelle Jordan - "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On"
Ok I wasn't even remotely expecting anything like this to happen in so many ways with this 😂 This is amazing!
-
Tinashe - "Melatonin"
I can't get over how hard this hits. The fact that people continue to sleep on her is inane.
-
KATSEYE - "Hootie Frutti"
This is my fave of all their new stuff, and mostly because that video is pure fire.

The Lolla and BBC sessions have only solidified her longevity as a musician for me. Even after going nonstop for as long as she did, she's still shows up hungry. What a queen.
