it's certainly better than Jessie J's Sweet Talker.
 
won't DARNCE
not without you

I bet Iguana likes this one just for how posh she sounds.

seriously though what a song. :emoji_heartbeat: it's my favourite thing from the Devotion era these days - so pretty, sweet and perhaps even (whisper it) a little sultry?

does anyone know the story of why the song was initially titled 110% and then changed?

we can play HARD

:tisch:
 
I think If You're Never Gonna Move is my favourite these days over Wildest Moments. The imagery it conjures up is just beautiful. And her voice is gorgeous on it. I could see it on What's Your Pleasure if it was bopped up a bit.

Love how we've more or less made the same posts. Our cycles are in sync tonight! :emoji_heart:


110% had a sample in it that she was naughty and shouldnt have used (the song the sample was from called 100%), so it got removed, song retitled and cd repressed.

I'm not even 100% sure what the sample is. I have the original on CD but haven't listened for ages so can't compare.

Wow a one-two of being shouted at then seeing that score for Taking In Water. Heartbroken.

Can we at least agree Something Inside is NICE?

let's end on Imagine It Was Us!
 
The synth-pop and R&B track was co-written by Ware and UK producer Julio Bashmore, which originally contained a sample from "The Big Shatterer" by late American rapper Big Pun under its original title, "110%". Upon its release in the United States, however, the song was re-titled to "If You're Never Gonna Move" due to Big Pun's estate not granting clearance for the use of the sample

From a little known site I frequent called "Wikipedia".

Right bonus trax - I am not familiar with these!
 
love the SUGGESTIVE SLEAZE of Imagine It Was Us. it's a definite precursor to Overtime.

the bit where the music drops out a bit and then comes RUSHING BACK IN like your seventh hit on a bottle of poppers in the space of 5 minutes in the sweaty basement of your provincial gay club is... well. it has actually wiped out half of my vocabulary so I can't tell you what it is. sorry about that.

8/10 VERY GOOD STUFF
 
I think Imagine was a re-release single that, surprise surprise, scaled the heady heights of #105.

I love that Jark.FM is its own genre now.
 
I'm doing all the non remix non live bonus tracks. Just because I've started so I've finished. Final scores and Joanne average coming soon.

JESSUS HAS RISEN :disco:

It really is a very very good debut album. This one has the bigger leads whereas Tough Love delivers the incredibly strong supporting cast (hello Keep On Lying - Champagne Kisses one two punch)
 
Valentine is very pretty. Strangest Feeling oddly reminds me a lot of Strangest Song. a leftover for a reason, perhaps. :eyes:
 
we HAVE to do Tough Love very soon. I love that album so much. it's got ENDLESS bonus material too :eyes:

oh god I've used that emoji too much now. I feel like SDF.

Average = 8.46 (but I've ignored those last three bonus tracks)
 
Night light, taking in water, 110%, and Imagine it was us are my other 10s
