ooooo if you're just getting into lorde check out solar power! it's my favorite album of hers and a great summer listen. my favorite songs are secrets of a girl and stoned at the nail salon. i'd also recommend chappell roan (obviously), renee rapp, jessie ware, japanese breakfast, indigo de souza, and haim!
Amazing, thank you! Maybe I’m more keyed into pop than I thought I was since Haim is the only one here I’m not actively listening to. Like wow that most recent Jessie Ware album was SO fun!
I love all three Lorde albums, but Solar Power is my favorite. It got a lot of hate when it came out, and I'm worried she might disown it when she drops her next album, so I want to take a stand now that this album is good. It traces such interesting critical lines between 60s/70s hippie culture and 2010s/2020s Instagram wellness culture while still holding its own optimistic and fresh natural wellness. And Lorde's affection for her home island New Zealand is inspiring.
on my old car i used to have a bumper sticker that said “i hope you have a good day” on it. one day i came out of the grocery store and someone had left a note on my car on a sheet of paper from their notebook that said “i hope YOU have a good day!” i think about the person that went out of their way to leave that note a lot and hope that they know how sweet that was. i kept the note and put it in my junk journal/scrapbook and when i’m having a bad day i like to look at it.
