Crystal <3

I need to get into her discography. I hear good things about Bionic and Stripped. Is she the pop legend people make her out to be?

The Powder Room EP by The Powder Room (2017) (cover by Cadu Santos) Tracklist No idea why Teddy set this side project up for 2 singles in the span of a year and then abandoned it. Anyways this would be cute as a little EP. Might edit the tracklist again but I think this mostly works. Singles 1. My Way 2. When I'm Looking At You 3. My Guy

ok reasonable tbh

Not sure what Katy would have to do with this but I'm not sure whether I should applaude her for realising something she should have realised a very long time ago or wonder if her whole ordeal wasn't a contract obligation? More confused than proud if i say so myself

how is she comparable to gaga help me....

help WHAT

Hold The Girl WAS mostly critically acclaimed (as it should be) and peaked at Number 3 on the album charts in the UK, but still the fan reception and other baffles me. It's not an incredibly creative and chaotic record like her previous record, but it does maintain her unique genre diversity with very respectable songwriting. The fact people even slandered some of the record was crazy. Phantom antis DNI.

Yeah i read earlier that she said in an interview her label won't let her release another album. Notice how it was around the same time she called out Matt Healy at Glastobury too. She did recently post herself in the studio so maybe whatever she was working on got postponed until her label was "in the clear" if yk what I mean. I hope she drops new music this year, solo stuff hopefully! Also a side note that this isn't the first time Dirty Hit (Rina's current label) were in some controversy. Two lesser known artists, formally signed, accused the label of racism, same topic Rina addressed in her performance at Glastonbury, and got dropped. I guess to them, they couldn't do much to damage the label's image as they aren't as known as somebody like Rina, who ofc caused a bigger outroar. 100%. Given how she spoke out about how she was being prolonged by her label and ofc the Glastonbury performance I think the whole reason was to wait until the public had forgotten about the whole callout. I think they're responsible for her absence.

Thought i'd open a general discussion thread for her to discuss her music as well as post updates on a RS3, which feels a little overdue for some reason. I remember between 2020-22 everyone was crazy about her and then she suddenly went under the radar after her sophmore dropped. Not sure why, but I relistened to Hold The Girl recently, still an amazing record idgaf. I've been a HTG defender since release day. For those who are unfamiliar with Rina, allow me to present some essential reccomendations

For those unfamiliar, Rina Sawayama is a British and Japanese singer/songwriter and actress, who is known for her multidiverse talent in her music through her inclusion of numerous genres ranged amongst her projects. So far she's released 2 full length albums and one extended play. Discuss.

I have to agree. All The Lovers, Get Outta My Way, Aphrodite, Put Your Hands Up and Illusion would have been a great single run imo. Better Than Today wasnt the best choice for a single imo but all the lovers makes so much sense as the lead and get outta my way is probably one of the best singles from kylie

Cortisa Star - E.M.O.

Did this quick marina edit bc i dont like the main artwork, also why have my other covers just vanished?!

I think the album in general was robbed, it feels very mishandled, cut off the non album singles (idk why i say non album but im refering to summer love lonely together etc, all good songs, just not really intentional for the album unless they were just bonus tracks like selena did for rare, off topic but ritual would have been a killer bonus track if that were the case) and you'll have a somewhat solid pop record. I feel like the album should have had these songs
