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?

Lady Gaga Mayhem is front-to-back amazing. Die With a Smile is probably the weakest part, definitely check it out!

I've only been listening to the singles, but I'm really enjoying Lady Gagas nes stuff. It's a return to her classic sound. 80s synth mixed with modern vocal effects and singing with a heavy beat and catchy lyrics.

Sabrina carpenter seems to be forced on my Spotify listening so much. I don't dislike her music but it's a bit bland sound wise. Good voice and I like some of the lyrics, but not much to it.

Chappel Roan has had some new singles. The giver didn't grab me at first but grew on me. The subway is just dull, which is a shame. I hope she returns to form as her album has been my go-to for a little while.

And yeah, The Giver is really fun! I hope Chappell will please us with a new record soon :)

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

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

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

Miley's new album has been fun - but the one that comes to mind is Lola Young. Idk, she's on the fringe of Pop, but I just cannot get her songs out of my head.

[–] froufox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I visited a festival she's been at. Did not intentionally go and watch her show, was just passibg by, but the songs were pleasant and her interaction with the crowd was cute.

Speaking the fringe of pop—i loved Spellling new album. Amazing stuff

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Spellling new album

I'll have to check it out!

[–] froufox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, and Ethel Cain! It's also barely pop. Half of the songs are instrumental post-rock. But it's beautiful

I'll check them out too!
