I have to agree with this. Hard Out Here and L8 CMMR sound like she's trying too hard to be ironic with the Autotune. I appreciate irony but if the music's crap, I won't be here for her.
Of course I'll get the album cos it's Lily, but I haven't been overly impressed with her new music so far. Hopefully there'll be a few gems on Sheezus anyway (epic title).
Air Balloon took a while to grow on me but I love it now.
L8 CMMR isn't as good but I haven't given it much of a chance yet.
Also a snippet of one of her new songs 'No Bass Like Home' is online somewhere and that sounds rather wonderful.
All in all, Sheezus can't come quick enough
I'll definitely check out the album, hopefully there are some gems on it
Also, does anyone else get the impression she doesn't like 'Air Balloon' much? It's just a vibe I got on Graham Norton.
As for the sound wish she had moved away from IKMIY like she did after A,S shook it up and came back all fresh and new. But I am really anticipating this HOH was a masterstroke something I feel many still don't quite get. Yes aB is throw away but it's pure pop perfection L8 comer is great too. I like the lyrics reflect her life now and as ever they are auti-biographical whilst still topical, her two core strengths.
I'm not a fan of the album title but overall, I think we will get a fun upbeat record which will be a change and surprise from her.
quite agree...clever and witty ...and very attention grabbing in both the UK and US.
It would be clever and witty if Kanye West hadn't done similar with an album title last year.
I think I may have been a bit harsh. I have grown to like the Air Ballon song but I still find the video cringeworthy. I liked her older songs like the 22 etc.
Personally, i'm liking everything she has put out at the moment apart from L8 CMMR but i'm sure that it will grow on me in the near future.
was it an official single? i never heard it on radio/tv
Yes it was but by the time they censored it, it sounded ridiculous (I heard it on radio 1 once).
Well in that case, I'd prefer her to drop the constant parodies and put out a song that is her definition of 'good music'
As for this era, Hard Out Here is a good song. Air Balloon is probably her worst single release to date, to be honest. It sounds very mediocre, coming from her.
And now she's back pretending she doesn't want to be the very one thing she's trying desperately hard to be seen as, the usual bitching and sniping on Twitter and just generally being her old unpleasant self. Her music isn't all that great this time around, I think she should go back into exile.
I won't bother thanks.
Tracklisting, album art, release date and plus the video for her third single
Every radio edit I have have heard has every other word censored, but not bitch. Surprised considering she says it about 50 times.
