Sophie was just someone I was getting into. Their final CD was brilliant. I had it on repeat. It saddens me that we won't be hearing more from someone that gifted. It's good to know they have inspired others.
this album is soooo good, very experimental and adventurous which is definitely not for everyone but it’s definitely become my one of my favs of all time
I've been following Caroline since her Chairlift days and I'm just obsessed with where she's at right now. I'm in love with everything she's doing, lyrics, sounds, visuals, she's such a complete artist. I can't really choose between Pang and this álbum, they're both perfect.
Yes the entire songs is like a classy ethereal song about sex, the way she says Billions in the second chorus and almost moans it, and the broken yet connected lines especially “salty flavour, lies like a sailor but he loves like a painter” lol
Obsessed with this video, it made me even more excited about the album. Caroline is really the unhinged fairy nymph tropical rustic blueprint that we needed in our lives!!!!
Love this album 10/10. As I was listening to it over and over, the main hook melody from Pretty in Possible is interpolated in Smoke for the bridge. Insane ear for production!🤯❤
I loved Pang, and was so eager to see what Desire had in store; it’s even more amazing than I had hoped. 🖤 Getting this record and Ocean Blvd in this same season feels so special.
I feel so stupid listening to this album bc I don’t understand the lyrics but this video really helped me break it down and I really like how you interpret things!
Obsessed with the album 💞💛 also if you need something else that's crazy to listen to would love to see you react to Holly Herndon's PROTO album. The only other artist that blew my mind like she did was Arca. Very experimental and futuristic sounding.
I feel like you'd be interested to know that the first verse (grimes' part) in Fly To You is the same melody as the bagpipe solo at the end of Blood and Butter :)
please react to grimes if you haven’t dived into her work yet!!! i have a feeling you’d LOVE Art Angels!!! great reaction btw, youre one of my fav (if not my #1 fav) reactors
Luscent, I adore you!! You're the best! Do you think you could react to VÉRITÉ's new album Love You Forever?? I think you would like it, it's so great, the lyrics, the voice, the production, the melodies, everything is amazing!!
This album is phenomenal. This will most likely be in my top 5 albums of the year, is not top 3. My personal favorites are Crude Drawing of An Angel, I Believe, Fly To You and Butterfly Net. They all have something special to keep me coming for more.
So sad that everyone totally loves the album but it just didn’t work for me. Beautiful voice and creative instrumentals, but something about the effects on her vocals or something threw me off the entire album.
Really? I personally loved it but each to their own. If your not a big fan of the crazy sound effects but still love her voice listen to her album Arcadia. (Released under her alias Ramona Lisa) that has a lot more acoustic elements to it.😊
I really love "Welcome to my island", "Sunset" and "Billions", but the rest... It is just strange and kind of structureless / weird in my opinion. 95 out of 100 on Metacritic, c'mon!?
@Hobby Musician Cam Multiple times because I wanted to love it, but it is really difficult to listen to it at once because it's kind of "unnormal". "Pang" is so much better and have more personality and quality, I really love the ethereal approach of it, it suits her so much more. Peace ✌️
I also thought it was structureless at first, but it clicked for me on my second listen. Although there’s so many styles they have a thread that ties them together, also thematically everything ties into “Welcome to my islands” idea of this escapist world. The entire album really feels like an insane island where she did “forget the rule, forget the friends, just you and your affection”. Either way, you picked very good songs to love, I hope the rest of the album comes around for you!
