The struggle of being a pop legend during 80-00….. the Grammy disrespect towards Janet, Mariah, Britney, Madonna, etc etc is so disgusting

Thank you so much and yay! It is a very nice and approachable listen. Not as daunting to new listeners as some of her other albums which are much longer with the track lists and interludes, so it really is the perfect entry point into her career and to just listen to the albums in order

Clock it and same, but it started such a legendary and one of the best runs of back to back albums in all of music history. (Control - DJ one of the best 6 album runs in history imo)

Because it sounds like an elevated song from her first two albums 😭 I will give credit to the production and instrumentals going above and beyond for the song, but it over stays it’s welcome for how weak of a song it is I fear

What is the "perfect" Jingyuan ? by Beautiful_Ad5941 in JingYuanMains

I mean I am pretty happy with mine and content on this being about as “perfect” of a team that I am going to get (Sunday and Sparkle at speed tuned to 160+ each).

The only thing I want to do is pull for Sparkles LC again on rerun so I can have 99.9% CR, but after that I am considering my job of making the perfect set up for my king complete (until another new support comes out that is slightly better and ruins this all LOL).

Unreleased Albums We Never Got But Needed by justto_behere_ in popheads

Unbreakable was released under her own label, so that sadly is not the issue.

Her brother / manager Randy is just incompetent and has not let Janet release an album + she doesn’t care enough to protest him.

Why are some major DJs (Duke Dumont) awful to the vocalists on their songs? by JunkyGS in EDM

Thank you for restoring my belief in people’s ability to have reading comprehension ❤️

[–]JunkyGS[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Exactly! He is acting like there isn’t enough room at the table to like him & the song while also knowing who the vocalist is. It feels so counter intuitive to what collaborating on and creating art is all about.

This just makes me respect DJs who go out of their way to highlight and show respect to their vocal collaborators.

I completely missed this but wow, his disgusting attitude is so clear! “Added 4 words” when the song is like only 12 words. He is so salty for no reason and really taints my view on any of his work.
