My bestie @primothealien.bsky.social released an amazing pop album in the last last week! Give it a listen, especially if you miss the eclectic pop girl albums of the early aughts.

JADE’s entire debut album is just outstanding, but this track is especially fire for me. The melodies and production make it a beautiful companion to “Plastic Box,” in that both tracks evoke a melancholic vibe while also being major pop earworms.

The Janet homage in all of this is insanely well-executed. I hope Ms. Jackson is honored. Also, I’m much more interested in Doja if she’s doing more stuff like this!

This is so cute. I’ve admittedly loved all of Perrie’s songs this year (at least the ones now officially included on the album), but this one sold me even more on her pop girl energy.

Still my favorite summer vibe song as of now. My first listen made me cry a bit. These are ethereal nostalgia vibes at their best. KC Rae (of Now Now) released a fantastic solo debut overall, check it out.

I always forget how much this song is a massive favorite until it hits on a V2.0 revisit. The performance, songwriting, and production are as impressive now as they were 25+ years ago. Never fails to transport me back to a time in the '90s I always fondly remember.

Julia Michaels always delivers a pleasant surprise, and I mean that in the best way. Beyond her massive songwriting career, she remains an underrated pop artist in her own right. This release, and this particular track, are yet another vibe and a half.
