Ok I had to hear a little something. Pink Diamond I'm shook already 

[Jordan Miller]

How is Exhale paying her dust idgi 

I'm listening to it rn. Y'all know I love me some auto-tune, but DAUM

"Pink Diamond" got me "real hard".....

[Jayjukebox]

I LOVEEEEEE me some Charli, BUT this album is very much giving me salt with barely any pepper. Like, she wanted to add some seasoning, but chose not to. Like she was trying to deliver, but did not let the album marinate long enough in all that garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika and adobo. It’s a MEH from me.

Not feeling the album, Claws is probably the only track I really like! Also is she trying to be Ariana by not capitalizing any of the titles? 
 

Her best body of work imo is her Number 1 Angle mixtape! 

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

Im enjoying it so far, very True Romance meets Charlie to me. Hopefully it has a CD release.

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaav the cover

[SelinaKyle]

The album is hard to chew for sure.  But Charli always experiments, and there is some good bones (Claws and Forever). 
And I love that she's never giving any fncks about trends, and just do her thing !  
It's pretty rare in pop these days (everybody calculates !).
She does not care about charts, and Miley Cyrus could take couple of notes (she chicken out so hard with She Is Miley)...

[2K16NEY]

sounds like a bunch of noise to me 

[Urbanney]

I'm liking this more than expected on first listen. I feel like she's an artist you might just have to adjust to. This happened to me with her first album, True Romance, where I was like  at first, but then as you listen to it more, you realize the melodies are really good and the chaotic production actually adds to it eventually. I'm excited to see how this develops for me as I continue to listen

Yes, always! People think her music is all metal and plastic but it's actually full of melodies, you just gotta  give it a try.

Glad she went with this for the cover, tbh. I was getting scared because all the single covers were lowkey kinda ugly, and I wouldn't want to add that garbage to my library. 

Same. The only one I really liked was the Claws artwork on Spotify.

How? Ariana did nothing new.

Charli XCX wasn't just sitting at home, thinking about boys, waiting for the pandemic to settle down so she can get out to LA to Tokyo to get fancy.She's using the tools she has at her finger tips and created a body of work that reflects the times. 

It's titled 'How I'm Feeling Now' and is officially out. Take a moment to digest the new tunes and comment as you listen. 

Listen on Apple Music or Spotify.

 

 

Fixed it with some cute punsenjoy

Her last album was amazing. "Gone", "2099", "Cross You Out", "1999", "I Don't Wanna Know", "Silver Cross" and "February 2017" were all awesome tracks.

I can't wait to listen to this album later today and I will post my thoughts in here.

I too am shocked people are paying her dust.

She is one of the best pop artists out there right now.

[Ofcoursenot]

I couldn't finish it 

I always give a chance to Charli, definitely not a fan

[ColdAsFire88]

I did not like her last album. I have 1999 and thats it  and I am a charli xcx stan. I am listening and digesting it. So far I like Forever,  Claws, Anthem, Detonate and 7 years.

Pink diamond is a 

[blackguillemot]

Idk either, last album didn't give me much, so does this one. Not hooked on yet. I live for N.1 Angel tho.
