We're Good (#671)

Ahoy,

sooic Monday" is now...

My last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• Roxette : Fan times. They really have some great ballads - for spending another Valentine's Day on your own. 
  
• McFly : Workout context. I was wondering who on earth can enjoy that many songs on "Memory Lane - The Best of McFly". It felt dragging.
  
• Lady Gaga : Social media context. So there's this YouTube creator, that went through all of Lady Gaga's albums - and he concluded with a ranking. And to my surprise "ARTPOP" was his favorite. I enjoyed that fact so much, that I had to have a little re-visit. ^^
  
• The Rubens : New album context. "0202" has such a nice bop called "Masterpiece", but all the other songs don't seem to come close to this one. That makes me sad, because I had high hopes. :(
  
• Audio88 & Yassin : New album context. "Todesliste" comes with a lot of anger and a consistant sound. My favorite track is "Ende in Sicht".
  

Most played tracks:

• Roosevelt - Lovers : New pre-single release. Unfortunately it seems a bit weaker than the previous pre-singles. But anyway - I am hyped for the new album dropping soon.

Noteworthy:

• Videoclub : New album context. "Euphories" has its moments... but it could easily be an EP, if you cut out the bland tracks.
  
• Odette : New album context. I was hoping to find some new nice indie tunes on "Herald", but I was a bit disappointed.
  
• Deacon Blue : New album context. Yeah, I can't really say anything about "Riding On The Tide Of Love", but time went by quickly while listening to it.
  
• We The Kings : New release context. Their latest EP "SAGA" sounds okay.
  

Scrobble count:  170.925

 

News

█ Cardi B's new music video (plus single) went a little viral. Tbh although it has some old school vibe, I don't like it much. And the video is way over the top.

█ Dua Lipa released yet another version of her album "Future Nostalgia". The new "Moonlight Edition" comes with new tracks. And "We're Good" has a nice music video with a twist at the end. But the song is not her best effort, if you ask me.
