CAROLINE POLACHEK - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You REACTION! ... a tropical fairy land! 

I think I began appreciating I Believe a lot more after I found out it was a tribute to SOPHIE....R.I.P queen 😔🙏

Every song in this album feels so connected like she sampled many of her own songs. The ‘hey hey hey hey’ part in Welcome to my island is sampled from ‘Look at me now’. The prelude melody part of ‘Pretty in possible’ is sampled from ‘Smoke’. ‘I believe’ outro sampled the whistle in ‘Bunny is a rider’. The melody of bagpipes in ‘Blood and butter’ is sampled Grimes verse in ‘Fly to you’. The more I listen to this album, the more I can feel how talented she is. And reading all the meaning behind these songs just make them getting better and better.

This album isn't critically acclaimed for nothing! Caroline definitely turned up her creativity a notch with this piece of work, I honestly didn't expect it to surpass Pang but it actually did! She snatched all of our wigs and ran off to her Island with them! Amazing!

fun fact, ‘Bunny is a Rider’ was the most acclaimed song of 2021, and the album has a whooping 95 in metacritic being so far the most acclaimed album of the year!

THIS IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2023, YES IT IS ALREADY! PERFECTION! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Living through the Bunny is a Rider era and the music video was such a time

Until last week had never heard of this artist, but have seen this album getting a lot of praise. So look forward to having a listen.

Crude Drawing Of An Angel reminds me SO much of Sevdaliza, like it could easily being in the Shabrang album

Seeing Caroline tomorrow in Berlin, sooo hyped ;_;

I Believe gets me going

Caroline did it again, it had to grow on me for a bit but now that I gave it many listens : WOW this album is incredible. I think I like it even better than Pang.I just love pop music and how weird and grand and ethereal some artists like Caroline make it. I also LOVE how the album is in a sense the opposite of Pang, pang has a lot of airy/atmospheric sounds and caroline is climbing on a ladder on the cover, while in Desire, she's on the ground of the subway so she's really feet deep into the earth and the album sounds more grounded and organic, with a lot of drums and I think warmer production choices, I think it's genius

love the new style of videos with you doing makeup while listening!!

You talking about the lyrics on Butterfly Net helped me to interpret them a bit better, of course I don’t know if I’m right but: as you said, she is trying to fly to heaven, to get to this perfect place. That place I think is the emotional stability and assurance her partner portrays, that she is desperately trying to reach herself. This felt supported by the lyrics about inertia always finding her and her throwing her “bag of wings” into the Thames. She has tried to fly to heave so many times, but inertia always finds her, and she never makes it, so she wants to throw away her wings because the failure hurts so much. When you mentioned the stupid ashes and how you usually get ashes after someone has died, I realized that relates to the “false goodbyes.” I think she is saying she becomes insecure or confused in their relationship and views the end coming, so she has these “ashes” from her false goodbyes.

You're the only other person I've heard say Crude Drawing of an Angel sounds like the clangers! I feel it must have been intentional as Danny L Harle is British, and Oliver Postgate's sounds are seared into our national consciousness

Love me some Lorde but this is the cadence, spicyness, talent that Solar Power wishes it was. 🌊

Caught her live last week wow just wow x

This album really suprised me honestly. One of my faves of the year so far😊

OMGG I was dying for you to react to thissss

Butterfly Net reminded me instantly of "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep..." by The Cure... sunbathing in sweet surrender

I've been waiting for this!! thanks for the reaction ❤️🥰

FERN I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!

My favourite reaction channel reacting to my favourite album this year so far 💜

this made me laugh bc my fav song is I believe and it was the one u didn’t like first 🤣

I hope Caroline watches this video lollll. Love you

Thank you for this reaction Fern! It seemed like you weren't too happy with the lyrical analysis, but you actually helped me understand Crude Drawing of An Angel and Pretty In Possible way more 💖

Oh I was waiting for this video 💞 Thanks for reviewing this in so much detail! I love that you always pay attention to the lyrics. I was the one that posted that Shakespeare quote on "Hopedrunk Everasking". It was the only reference I could find online, I hope it made sense.

this album is AMAZING

50:04 the acting is so good i cant 😂

THIS IS MY ALBUM OF THE YEAR SO FAR IT'S SO GOOD THIS OR LANA WILL BE AOTY

Finally I see a reaction of her. Haven't see my favorite reactors do it. Her first album is also really good!!

Even if this is only the beginning of the year, this album is AOTY material for me ✨

Hello, nice channel and way to review music This album is so awesome, just discovered caroline last year and been vibing with door til this masterpiece came out mind if I ask, what headphone gear you using? it looks nice, aesthetic even

I love you 💕

This is really album of the year material, perfectly done!! I'd love for you to react to PinkPantheress though 💖💖

I believe is CAMPPP but also spirit

Fern! I love you, you're amazing!! You're always reacting to underrated musicians, so do you think that you could react to VÉRITÉ's new album Love You Forever??? It's SO good!!! And I think you'd like it

This will be SZA’s biggest rival at the Grammys (or at least should be, you know how shady they are).

I low key the upbeat energy would utterly teem the whole LP and not mostly the first half. At least I feel like it by my 4th listen. Looove the first 5 songs sfm

WELL HELLO MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!

Fern, could u please react to years & years especially to their album "communion"? I'm currently reliving my Tumblr-era and your reaction would make my heart very happy lol

Please react to (dang) live performance by Caroline

Fern, I would love for you to react to “Starf*cker” by Slayyyter

I loved the reaction! I reacted to her album on my channel. Check it out if you’d like. It was a whole musical experience for sure! You’re amazing, keep up the videos! ❤️

please react to rebecca black's new album "let her burn" !!!!! also her EP "rebecca black was here"

Such an amazing album from start to finish, my favs are (in no particular order) Pretty In Possible Fly to You Smoke Billions Sunset Blood and Butter Welcome to my Island I Believe
