Higgs wrote:Hometown Perth* Western Australia artist Carla Geneve has released a cracker album recently, Hertz. She's only 22 and sings here about personal experiences with bipolar amongst other issues. The album is just a really beautiful listen though, and the personal writing really comes through. Its generally chill and downtempo, but done well. I could see this young lass doing some pretty big things in the future.
I actually like every song on this wee beastie, but the lead single "Bills" is so good:
* she's actually from the smaller coastal country town Albany, but I'm sure none of you yobs care for the distinction.
Not often you see a music video with this level of vomit either. Sorry about that.
I played the wrong Carla Geneve track. This is the way.

I do like the single "Days Move Slow" with its slacker 90s vibe though.
I've listened to this album a few times and I think it's a grower. I've liked it more with every listen.

I adore the new Bully record. It's in contention for album of the year, for me. Big fan. But I totally get why folks aren't connecting with it. Very different from her previous stuff.

I like many Dua Lipa singles but I don't think she's put out a truly great album yet. Future Nostalgia is very good but it takes a huge dip in the last two tracks for some reason

I don't think I've listened to a full album, but I could make a hell of a playlist of her songs.

I'm into the last two tracks. The closer especially -- big bop.

I'm talking about the standard version, which ends with "Good in Bed" and "Boys Will Be Boys," just in case you're talking about the Deluxe

I was not talking about the Deluxe version.
Boys Will Be Boys is a real bop!
But you were right to clarify. All these dang kids with all their dang deluxe and alternate versions and remixes! Aaaarggh!!!

"Good in Bed" is indeed a bad song.
