Why

This AI-slopped review…

There are 17 albums (released and upcoming) from artists I like to listen to in my Spotify for 2026, so even if people think this is "the worst year of music" I'm still eating good Maybe you just need to broaden your pallet idk

Well obviously not, cos that was written and recorded by someone Which is again why shitty actually-fanmade songs will also be better and funnier than AI fakes

While I get the sentiment, this feels misogynistic… Also calling out names doesn't make sense. If you're going to do something like this, call out the facial features not just randomly allocate face parts to women. And where's the male version? So many men getting jawlines shaved, lips and cheeks filled, Botox and facelifts etc

Discovered them last summer on a Spotify suggested playlist and love Deep Diving, 300 Dreams and Promise (wyg) - excited to hear a full album!

Corny title

Oooooh XXXVII is coming

Literally all of this - people really need to get offline, go outside, make some friends and live a good life without being so bitter/doom and gloom/judgy

Was a Tove Lo discog rate ever done? All the discourse in her new singles threads makes me feel like hosting one once ESTRUS is out and had time to settle

This feels like a mature/grown-up SK track in a way Not what I expected from Ms Lo and I kind of like that!

As someone who's been a fan/stan since her debut, I won't get my hopes up for a remix album until she announces it herself as Lily isn't known for doing lots of extra releases… The fact she's said she's only announced she's got "one more" makes me think it's more likely to be an outtake in the same vein as her dropping Bass Like Home from Sheezus or singing Party Line from No Shame (But I'll happily be proven wrong!)

I know these results are "bad" cos Reform has the most, but when you actually dig into it, these aren't actually terrible for any party? Greens underperforming is sad but Polanski got Corbyn'd by the media because he's just as politicaly inept as Corbyn. Like come one, the left needs to learn to play the game and not give people easy ammo… Labour holding ground is GREAT actually so we don't get into the Tory psychodrama of switching PMs every 2.5 years and I think I'm in the minority that I don't want Starmer to go - when the only actual alternatives are Tax-Cheat Rayner and Gross Streeting (Burnham is NOT getting a seat before the next election lol) I want Keir to go into 2029 and pay for his mistakes

Charli X taking Niko B's nachos and following in his footsteps of a 14 track 22 minute album, oh short Bri'ish excellence!

This is such a good record from start to finish! Definitely my favourite album of hers - the only song I'd consider maaaaybe a dud is Back on the Wagon

Honestly, this'll be the fourth single and it's been 7 months since the first… I'd hope the new project is on the way!

She clocked his tea! Welcome to the RAEsistance

The way Anne Hathaway might make it to my Spotify wrapped this year lmao I am OBSESSED with Cut Ties

This nobody is clearly faking all this in a desperate attempt at getting attention, come on

And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle

I really get what she was going for with this, but for me it's just very whelming Don't You Know Who I Am, Sauna (+ Chariots), and Mr Valentine are brilliant, with the DYKWIA being a career highlight! But other than these and Ride, the rest of the album just isn't hitting like WYP and TFG did (and I love TFG, unlike a few people it seems) Hope it grows superblooms!

Self-Titled lowkey missing her Bang Bang cover @Solaria

Yeah I kinda love that XCX World has myth/legend status, and that she used it to inspire future tracks Releasing it officially kinda feels redundant, especially when every fan who actually cares already has it downloaded for a decade now

Hope they get a little viral camp moment with this, it so good Gag's and Doechii's vocals are so complementary - they gel so well together

Instagram has been made gradually more and more unusable over the last few years with its pushing of content you don't follow taking priority over people you do, and this will just kill it even more

Just hit me that Life Boat feels like a mash of the intro of Waking The Witch by Kate Bush (all the different voices over the calm track) and Strong by Romy/Fred Again (the rest of the song lol)
