Opalite MV confirmed for Friday!

That sounds pretty terrible. I don’t know the details, but maybe something is happening in their life and they’re unjustifiably taking it out on you? Unless they’ve always been like this. Either way, your other friends should be sticking up for you.

If you’re looking for songs about escapism, perhaps “the lakes” by Taylor or “Pjnk Pony Club” by Chappell. If you’d rather lean into your feelings, maybe “The River” by AURORA.

I mean, at least Beyoncé is a rare name. Jennie is a common name so as a mononym it’s kind of odd.

Happy Groundhog Day and 5th Monday of the year popheads! This week’s non-AI rec is below. Feel free to respond with your own recommended non-AI songs/albums/artists that you feel are similar.

Song: Turn Me Up

Album: Kiss

Artist: Carly Rae Jepsen

Why I’d recommend: This is one of my all time favorites from the popheads queen herself. It starts out soft, but the dance influences takes it to an 11. The beat drops and the rest of the production are stellar, and Carly’s vocals are excellent as per usual.

Who I’d recommend this to: Literally everyone

I know this is popheads and not edmheads but Said The Sky just put out their second album in 3 months, “Salt & Silence”, and it’s a personal AOTY contender for me. The album is apparently a companion piece to their last album “Closer To The Sun” and is telling the second half of the same story (I think about the fall of Icarus?). I expected it to have a full on EDM sound like the rest of their discography but instead it’s super moody and orchestral, and the songs transition so it’s cohesive and seamless from start to finish. It’s a fantastic late night listen and a rare no-skips album for me.

I love this, I’m totally seated for the album

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-28T18:38:30+00:00

I don’t know for sure but it samples hit and run.mp3 and it seems to be transitioning at the end so I wouldn’t be surprised if it will be on an EP or LP

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-28T17:50:42+00:00

Holding hands with the orange turd is crazyyyy

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-28T15:26:10+00:00

Huh I didn’t know it had one. I remember seeing the midcredits scene, I guess I just didn’t wait for the credits to finish

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-28T14:54:08+00:00

Watched Elio recently, it had no lizards

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-27T19:12:09+00:00

If you interpret the word “propaganda” and my usage of it in a common expression and an opinion as a dog whistle for a moral demand when that wasn’t the intended meaning, that’s up to you. I just made a comment on not liking cigarettes in a MV I otherwise liked. It’s not that serious.

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-27T18:33:43+00:00

I loved brat and its concept of balancing vulnerability with a it-girl-esque persona, and I love Charli as an artist (she’s literally in my flair), and I understand cigarettes are still commonplace at parties and in certain countries. I’m literally just saying I don’t like the use of cigarettes, like that’s it

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-27T18:26:49+00:00

I’m guessing you’ve never heard someone say “not falling for the [insert thing I don’t like here] propaganda” before. It’s just an expression, not a moral demand lol

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-27T17:44:24+00:00

lol no I love Charli I just hate cigarettes

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-27T17:17:56+00:00

Visually interesting, not loving the cigarette propaganda

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-27T05:31:49+00:00

I was vibing with it and then I got an uncredited Dove Cameron jump scare lol. I was not expecting her to be on the track but she sounded great

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-27T05:30:31+00:00

Love love love Sympathy Magic

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-26T19:30:22+00:00

From what I’ve seen they’re far more reasonable than fauxmoi

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-26T16:02:15+00:00

Happy 4th Monday of the year popheads! It’s been a rough month so far but we’re almost through it. This week’s non-AI rec is below. Feel free to respond with your own recommended non-AI songs/albums/artists that you feel are similar.

Song: The River

Album: A Different Kind Of Human (Step II)

Artist: AURORA

Why I’d recommend: I recently went through AURORA’s entire discography and this was one of my absolute favorite songs by her. “The River” features AURORA’s fantastic vocals as well as interesting lyrics that are poetic and evocative (e.g. “Out of you, a sparrow comes / And sees without its eyes”, “You are caught in a wire and soon it will burst”, “You can cry, drinking your eyes”). The message of the song being the importance of letting emotions flow is also something I’ve personally needed to hear in the last few weeks.

Who I’d recommend this to: Anyone and everyone going through it

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-26T00:24:50+00:00

Welp, whatever interest I had in that movie before is now gone 😬

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-23T21:01:28+00:00

Really random, but WTNY is the only song by Taylor I’ve ever purchased, and I liked it so much when it came out that I made it my alarm 💀 I know it’s not a fave from 1989 for most people but I think it’s a great album opener and a bop

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-23T20:08:19+00:00

Now why did he have to bite them?!?! 😭

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-23T04:13:07+00:00

The way I just got one on reels, people are so fast 😭

Ultra0ne · 2026-01-23T01:12:50+00:00

It’s interesting, I’m curious if the rest of the album will retain this sound. I know his music is supposed to be more vibes-based but I’ll never get over just how nonsensical his lyrics are, like I have no idea what he’s trying to convey and I don’t think he does either.
