I appreciate the album opens soft and sweet with a country-ish folk song "Life So Wide" and then amps up the country attitude with "Way Down." "JJ" is so cute and nurturing. Like the sunrise warming your face. I feel it will be a fan favorite or hopefully a breakout song. "Blast" is still my favorite and makes get choked up every time. I've been dancing to "Try Try Try" for months and "You Will Go Far" sounds much more magical within the context of the album. "Give It Away" really captivated me. The lyrics are so simple, yet they're sung so lovingly and the tropical percussion is so masterful. "Junk" is a nice glitchy blues that reminds me of their early albums. Also loved the soul and funk in "What I Had." "Untitled" is such a beautiful ambient track. Very nice surprise. "Wannabe (Radio Queen)" is an appropriate grandiose closer. I wish I could see them live again. Their 2024 self-titled changed my life.

"u + me = <3" is so cute and matches my current emotions towards a particular guy.

This is fantastic. One of the songs of the year for sure.

Listening to the whole album really makes you appreciate "Bring Your Love." The drum track is so addictive. "Love Sensation" might be one of Madonna's most soulful songs. I hope it keeps getting remixed and played a festivals. Obsessed with "Love Without Words" and "School." Stuart and Madonna really killed the production. Everything sounds so clean and crisp, but also full of warmth, soul and a little edge.

Yes! It has viral song potential.

This albums sounds like the morning after. "Rock music" is the chaos and confusion when you wake up after a night of party and the rest of the songs are what it feels like getting through the day with the hangover. I've never seen the show Euphoria, but this album reminds me of it as well, for some reason. "Persona" is the new song that caught my attention the most.

I've been seeing the videos and they're so good. They have a lot of charisma and energy.

She sounds so much like Kelis on the new song.

Numerically unlikely, but I hope the Colombia run-off pulls a Chile 2021.

The music video is stunning.

It's a cute Haim demo. I'm digging it.

Yes! That song is so sexy and his performance gave me Ricky Martin + "Waiting for Tonight" vibes.

This is how I feel whenever I see one of those 51%-49% split results. Maybe it's the gerrymandering, but I've seen results like that in other countries' elections too. Like damn, half of y'all want everyone's life to get better and the other half really wants everyone to eat sht?

I don't trust Maine after they kept Susan in the middle of the pandemic and split the ticket with Biden. These polls look very similar to the lead Sara Gideon had.

It's still OLD FLING$ supremacy for me. The song structure reminds me so much of "Poker Face" with never-ending repetitive outro.

Stunning!

And they're so adorable. Look at them smiling like it's picture day at school:

I just heard the studio version of "Bangaranga" for the first time and it's clear the staging and live version made that song come alive. The ending is so flat, but the live performance is so epic. Reminds me of difference between the "Sound of Silence" studio vs live. Dami Im blew everyone's wig off with those live vocals. ****** history was made that week.

Seeing all these 98%-vote-with-Republicans incumbents lose their seats means Democrats know what's at stake if they don't win the Senate.

Dara got the 12 points from Rest of the World.

Surrender to the blinding light!

I loved the heart loading up the points. That was very fun.

Right?! Quickly assembling the chairs, walking down those steep stairs while singing in tune, doing the choreo at right queues and marks. It was lowkey perfection.

JJ yelling "biiiiitch! biiiitch!" as he walked up with the trophy. Having the winning performance start at the green room was chaotic, but in a good way. She and her dancers really turned it out regardless.

Congratulations Bulgaria! Finally a new country wins! Sorry I ever doubted you, public vote! You did what needed to be done!
