pop

“CHAT” is definitely a different vibe for GIRLSET, and I think the change works. They’re leaning more into hyperpop than in their previous releases, but in a way that still feels intentional and never over the top. It gives the song a fun, playful energy while remaining easy to listen to.

What I appreciate most is that they’re willing to experiment without losing the identity they’ve worked so hard to build through their rebrand. You can hear the hyperpop influences throughout the song, but they never overshadow what makes GIRLSET, GIRLSET. Their vocal talent is still front and center, and that’s what keeps the track feeling authentic.

A song with the message. The heart behind “Ain’t In LA” comes from ADÉLA’s mother, who grew up behind the Iron Curtain. As a teenager, she fell in love with Western pop culture, but because access to Western music and memorabilia was heavily restricted, she secretly decorated her bedroom with smuggled posters of the artists she admired. Growing up with that story, ADÉLA wanted to create something meaningful for the girls around the world who dream of the same thing.

“Ain’t In LA” is a love letter to girls who admire Western pop culture but, because of where they live or the circumstances they’re in, can only experience it from afar. Instead of telling them they need to be somewhere else to matter, the song reminds them that there is beauty, value, and limitless potential in who they are and where they come from.

How can you not love this song?

a classic 2000s pop/rock album. to have that many hits on a debut album is nuts shoutout to jane lol

there’s nothing i can say.

I find it inspirational that my modern day goat has taken the opportunity to look in the mirror. Especially after the biggest year of her life. She could of easily just fed into what her caricature became, but truly sat with her self and conveyed bluntly how she’s just a person who loves what she loves and that nothing last forever, not even her.

Fuck Depression

Generational

classic

masterpiece

Will listen to it on repeat all day. Can take you through an emotional rollercoaster

One of my favorite songs!

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

I’ve heard flamingo music before but never in this type of style. The way she uses auto tune slightly at some points as an instrument with the flamingo guitar is pure genius.

Keep this song in your back pocket if you need a pick me up. The chorus could be it's own mantra:

And I find that I'm never alone
And I find that my heart is my home
And the music within makes me whole
A world that I built on my own
And I know that my heart is my home
Every missing piece of me
I can find in a melody
I can find in a melody

I have thought about it and I don't know what genre of music this is. All I know is that it's a great song with a great message.

I like it. it’s different, very liminal but nice

honestly probably one of his most slept on projects ever. i have to admit even i slept on justice for the longest time. though i can see the relevance in including the mlk snippets given everything that was happening in 2020, i’m just not sure how aligned it is with the album itself if that makes sense. for that reason i had to go with a 4.5 rating instead of a full 5 stars.

that being said, this album is beautiful from top to bottom. starting off strong with 2 much, an intimate and gentle love song, and ending with lonely - one of his most vulnerable songs ever imo, this album really gives listeners an “in” on his thoughts and emotions at the time.

my favorite tracks outside of the hits (ghost & peaches):
- 2 much
- deserve you
- off my face
- somebody
- lonely

i have to say, laroi is actually one of my favorite artists of the younger generation. i feel like he usually makes meaningful and catchy music.

in this album, he gets really vulnerable and honest talking about his breakup, what tore them apart, and how he’s been struggling to get over this girl. he bounces around from anger, sadness, loneliness, trying to forget her, but then missing her too. favorite track is RATHER BE and 5:21AM.

rating a 3.5 because i feel like some of the songs can get repetitive but might edit that down the line after more listens!

One of Kanye West first appearance. Throwback to the 2000s hip hop . John legend is the right person for the hook.

Her first song yet it’s STILL peak

This song amazes me bc like… how did they fit sixteen girls in one song bru 😭😭 but jokes aside this song is fireeee they are literally exposing and dissing their haters in one dive song. Period 🎀

In case you can’t tell by my profile I loooovvvveeee pinkpanthress and this song carried her and I think this song single handily made her famous with her collab with Zara Larson 10/10

This is one of those songs that will have you in your feelings if you listen to it at the right time. The piano piece makes it feel very personal and heartfelt. Very underrated artist.

This is fun song to bop your head to. This New Zealand artist has great range. Has a little bit of a big band feel with an R&B groove.

Don’t play this song around me if you don’t want to hear me sing

Katseyee for lifeeee they ate this album!

One of the most beautiful albums my fav song on it is seigfried. COME BACK FRANK

such a good song, love her lower register

If you’re an atif asalam fan, you’ll love this like me

even though i felt like everyone was hating at first saying they wanted his old sound back i rly rocked w this album from the jump. i feel like this album really reflects where he is in life and captures those themes of marriage, love, fatherhood, and adulthood in general so so well. the druski skits weren’t really doing it for me (and i’m a druski fan) but i get that bieber wanted to respond to a few things in a casual / creative way. very very few skips outside of those

Pop excellence. Recorded in Europe while Kanye and Jay were doing watch the throne and Beyonce was recording this.

Party is a summer classic.

I’ve never been a fan of her work

Please come back bro.

a fun, feminine, and overall chill album but some of the tracks i could have gone without

one of the most iconic pop albums of our time - almost a 5 star album for me

barely any skips - love that she got experimental with this album and it stood the test of time. ten years later and it's still in my rotation
