Also the way Fight No More is kinda serving Haba Haba REALNESS is already iconic to me

Based on the pre-release singles alone this will be my most played album this year. What a gorgeous album. All the singles are already pop diamonds and the album tracks give very nice singer-songwriter energy. Father's Day is breaking my heart and TTGINM is one of the more interesting lyrics in a pop song I've heard in a while. You have a talent for writing kinda specific lyrics that I don't necessarily relate to, BUT I relate to the feeling you express with the song. The Flood is probably the new track I'm most interested in. The way the song progresses is so lovely. Kind of early 2000s vibes. Trust is the only song I have a little doubt about. The song itself is very good, like all the others as well. I think it's the way your voice is produced. It doesn't quite fit into the instrumental for me (except for the middle eight part), it sounds a bit too "dry" for me. But honestly, that's just one detail. Overall I'm so happy this album is finally out! I haven't been excited about a new artist like this for probably a decade. I really hope this is only the beginning of a long career for you and that I can see you perform live one day!

OMG I thought it was a glitch when I saw your notification, I wasn't ready. Aldo it's me and my boyfriend's anniversary today so this is a very emotional day already The flow from TTGINM to Close Your Eyes has me weak I will report once I have listened to the whole thing but congratulations to you🎉

The album is ok, I think most negative reviews who are written just a few hours after release are fueled by the shock that it's not another 1989. But if you think about it, this is like a return to Lover sonically, nothing unexpected, but also nothing that would make it bad. The biggest mistake is Actually Romantic. That one should've stayed in the vault, not because it's bad musically, but because it makes her look bitter. Charli wasn't even dissing her, but Taylor is taking gunshots at her. This sours my opinion of her cause it makes her look like the childish brat (pun intended) that critics like to paint her as. Cancelled! is another sign that she might have gotten too high on her own supply.

Love the title, probably my most anticipated and probably already most played album this year if you count pre-album streams I'm so looking forward to having a CD of this, even if it would cost me a fortune to have it shipped to Germany

This, kinda. There are musicians who are popstars first and foremost and then there are musicians who are performers first. Tina was a showgirl, she loved performing. She had to or she wouldn't have survived her time with Ike where she learned to rely on her own on and off stage. And then she had, what like 7 years where she fell off and she kept on performing and that saved her career. Performing saved her career and her life. Obviously not everyone needs to go through the troubles that Tina did, but you can clearly see nowadays and back then who is a studio artist and who is a performer. Difference is that nowadays it's easier to survive as a studio artist compared to Tina's generation.

Another banger I love how it first comes off as a cute little alt-pop song but the more you listen to it and pay attention to lyrics and instrumentation, the more intense it becomes. Gives me Vanish Into You and 2000s Gwen Stefani vibes. So far the singles fit well together without becoming monotone. Every song is unique and yet you can tell they're from the same musical world. I NEED this album

And that's why their payment model needs to be banned. My fees pay for bullshit like this although I never listen to those playlists. It's wild that it's not possible to support artists you yourself listen to by streaming their music when that should be the norm. This mood music has a lot of tracks that reach millions of streams. Some white noises albums have streams that lots of mainstream artists don't reach. It's an easy way for Spotify to save money, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it

What is this George Michael x Pet Shop Boys-esque BOP???! This is literally how I would have imagined a collab between them, PSB-house/disco track with George's longing vocals. But it sounds uniquely you. If this won't be in my most streamed songs of 2025 I would be very shocked. Love at first listen for me

They can **** off with those prices. Anything above 250€ should be illegal. If artists, venues and Ticketmaster keep playing this game you'll soon have huge concerts filled only with rich influencers and broke fans who took on debt for the tickets. This should be a nightmare, especially for an artist like Gaga who preaches inclusivity everywhere.

The video is stunning And what is there to say about the song? You've become one of my favourite artists, every song you release hits a different part of my soul. This one is no exception. There's something about your artistry that makes me want to connect with it again and again. I like the chill vibe of this one. Soothing and yet it's dramatic and emotional. This will be on heavy rotation for certain

The cover is gorgeous! I'm ready for your next masterpiece

It's good to have the confirmation I guess. I do wonder tho how she went from singing about the dangers of gun violence and using the slogan of marriage equality as a song title in 2018 to being completely spineless only 6 years later. Her politics must've been a mess since the very beginning but she was able to hide as a centrist.
