Hello! Lemmy has quite a lot of music communities, but sadly there is not so much discussion of music—usually people just post music and videos. I'd like to initiate a little discussion here as you see.

For me it's (so far) definitely Miley Cyrus — Something Beautiful. I didn't expect much, but was blown away by how good the record is. I think she perfectly conveyed the flair of gorgeous and energetic 80's pop scene.

Also enjoyed FKA Twigs' and Rebecca Black's albums, and these are my top-3 at the moment.

And what are your picks?

I've yet to listen Gaga's and Sabrina's new stuff. To be honest, that single with Bruno Mars already annoyed me, and I don't have lot of enthusiasm about the whole album haha. Maybe should give it a shot someday. And I have kinda same feelings about Sabrina. I didn't like her previous album—couldn't even finish it, because it was bland to me. Some songs were okay, but I guess it's just not my music.

Was interested in Addison Rae's new record, but also cannot say I like it in the end. It's like early Lana stuff, but more superficial and more explicit.

Marina's record was okay. Lorde was kinda dull, but I should try listening it again.

Yeah, the Bruno Mars one was too Bruno, not gaga. I liked her music in star is born but don't need another album of it. It was too much like a more pop, upbeat version of that. The new album isn't, so I like it.

I like a few marina and diamonds songs but dropped in to a single recently and it was not great. I might try a bit more.

Lorde, I like but I think she's lost her unique voice.

I was looking Christine and the queens but it's moved into more alternative than pop territory for me. Still good, but not scratching the same itch.

I didn't know Christine and the queens dropped something, should check. Love her collabs with Charli xcx. Speaking of which, I checked this year's MØ record and it's great. Two singles are just amazing — Knife and Keep Møving

I don't think it's very new. Maybe last year. Just new to me.
