Welcome to the new forum
Not strictly pop but also new Goldfrapp and Morcheeba
You guys all sound like 40 year old men who are trying too hard to stave off middle age. Act your age, turn that shit off and listen to some goddamn folk music, for Christ sake.
I don't think I'm going to like this Ariana Grande too much. I like my pop to be as white as possible, and she's venturing a little too much into R&B territory. On the other hand, I'm listening to the Avril and it might be right up my alley. I think I avoided it for so long because that dickbutt Chad Nickleback is all over it but whattyagonnado. Another refreshing summer pop album was Haim, though I'm taking a break from that one right now.
Because I feel like stirring it up even more, the best female "pop" I've heard in while is Kacey Musgraves, don't let the twang and old timey instruments fool you, it's a great fluffy listen,lyrics are super clever.
