Lady Gaga Mayhem
Zombieboy is the most outrageously fun thing she's done since Donatella. Mayhem jumps all over the place wrt its influences and sounds and since Gaga draws a few of these references from her own past but doesn't lock into any one for more than a song or two, it ends up feeling like a step forward rather than a victory lap. Mayhem's throughline is not a sonic or textural one but rather the feeling that taken together, the songs spell out Lady Gaga. So pleasantly surprised! Have been spinning nonstop since Friday.
Lana Del Rey Paradise
Local Natives Hummingbird
Lorde Virgin
FYI - did not go into this expecting to like it. But she does something really interesting
here. The production alternates between spaciousness and sharpness, coldness - in either case
she almost keeps the listener at arm's length. She rarely lets us sit in a particular melody
or sound for long enough to be satisfying, either (the vocal chop towards the end of David!).
I think this also contributes to this idea of distance between performer and consumer. Really
interesting dynamic to set atop lyrics which continue to be honest and pretty frank - as if
she's defending herself almost to a point where it becomes aggressive. It reminds me of
Yeezus. Early favorites are Shapeshifter and Clearblue.

Superb voice and there's something to be said about music that just sounds so *good*. Will be keeping an eye on him! White Teeth is an instant highlight here.

Lots of great stuff on here and as always I trust her vision... still may change this rating rbut initial impression is like she almost didn't trust the audience enough to be able to r"get" it and had to do a lot more "telling" than Renaissance or Lemonade did. Last third or rso of the album is stellar though.
