Hey, welcome to the Overshare pamphlet.
(00:25):
My name is Robin.
Welcome to the Overshare pamphlet.
Today is the day we are finally talking about the long awaited return of Lady Gaga.
(00:56):
As usual with all these episodes, the fair disclaimer is that I haven't really had time
to sit with the project for a long time of course, so I cannot really give you my final
thoughts on the album of course, but it's sort of like a first impression and what really
I guess got me on the toe cold about this album.
(01:19):
And spoiler alert, there's a lot to talk about and there's a lot to praise here, because
this is probably one of the best releases so far of the year I guess, but also in general
by Lady Gaga period.
Like she just is back on her full game I guess.
So we'll get into that.
I am very much excited to talk about this album of course, but I will need to first talk about
(01:45):
just generally songs of the week.
I will include as usual a couple of songs from the album into the songs of the week.
You can find them in the playlist of the month called basically, you know, the version of
Pamphlet, Songs of the Week, Dash, whatever month we're in.
So for this one it's going to be March 2025.
Anyways, so let's start off with Haeyum.
(02:13):
I mean, you may know them for the collaboration with Taylor Swift or you may know them just
for in general for their music, but I think I believe they are an Australian band made
of three sisters.
So you know, they've been very popular, I mean, I guess in the rock alternative indie
(02:37):
genre a bit for the right reasons, because they are incredible.
And specifically I just returned to this album because I don't know, I've been looking forward
to December, the weather is getting so much better these days and I just like, I need
that anticipation for December personally.
So whenever I want to feel like that, I think one of my favourite albums to listen to is
(02:59):
Women in Music Part 3 because some, well, I would say majority of the album is a very
summery album and just gives you that sort of, you know, feel like interpretive, I don't
know, I guess just simply like, I don't want to say like relaxed, but like summery vacation
type of, just gives you heat, I don't know, like humid weather, I don't know, it's just
(03:26):
the feeling that the album gives you I guess.
But the album is a bit of, as I said, like a bit of a country-esque rock indie alternative
sort of extravaganza, but it's just so good.
And the two songs that I really really enjoy from this album are Los Angeles and These
Steps.
(03:47):
So you can find those in the playlist.
Again, they're both very alternative indie, but also a bit, I guess there's definitely
like a bit of a country element and a bit of a reggae moment in some of the tracks.
I think actually Los Angeles may have a bit of that influence as well, but it's just an
(04:14):
incredible incredible project overall.
So I'm just gonna put those two songs in and yeah, you can check them out there and check
out the entire album.
I would say that either you check it out now or even better if you can remember about that,
but just you know when you feel like the heat is coming and you're, it's gonna be summer
(04:36):
soon, just gonna have to spin around for at least one listen and you'll see what I'm talking
about.
But yes, so that's that.
Then I want to talk about the new Jennie album, Ruby, well her first album basically, first
(04:59):
full-length album and she has so many interesting songs in this.
The vibe of this album is very interesting.
I do wanna, as I said in my previous episode, I wanna make an episode about all those solo
projects like overall by the Blackpink members.
But I think Jennie has the most like non-trend chasing in that sense type of album.
(05:25):
She has a very unique sound in this that is not really you know what's popping off in
the charts or whatever.
Like Lisa for example is going, as I said in my previous episode, is going after that
early 2000 type of sound and then Rosie went for that.
Then like singer-songwriter type of ballad, ballad-y, acoustic guitar type of album that
(05:52):
again is very popular right now and popularized by Taylor Swift of course.
Don't take it away from her.
But yeah, and Jisoo, well Jisoo, I don't think we can, well I'll get to her in the episode
and I'll talk about her, but she made an EP so it's not enough material to talk about
the influence.
I think you can tell there's a lot of electro pop and house type of influence there.
(06:17):
But Jennie has surprisingly a wide variety of productions here.
There's a lot of R&B, a lot of solo, a lot of pop moments as well of course, a lot of
hip-hop as well and is just quite unique.
And I believe she actually had the most streams in a day for this year for a K-pop artist.
(06:38):
So for the drop of the album basically, the album got the most streams out of all the
K-pop releases this year.
So kudos to that and big, big sign.
But one of my favorite tracks, I guess there's two to be fair.
Like Jennie is of course an incredible track, but I think what I really like is Handlebars
(07:00):
with Dua Lipa.
It's such a good pop song and somehow Jennie and Dua Lipa seem to have a very similar vocal
performance here.
Like sometimes it's very hard to distinguish between the two of them I think, but just
really, really good.
It does seem like a Dua Lipa track to be fair, but also I don't care, like that's a good
(07:27):
song.
And then the other one is Filter.
I think it's a bit of an on the R&B category and it's just beautiful.
Even the lyrics, I just love it so much.
And I'm very surprised that she collaborated here with Michael Maede and then also I think
Diplo on like Jennie said, there's a lot of great stuff on the album, a lot of interesting
(07:49):
producers, a lot of...
What is this name?
Oh my God.
Well he's a very big producer in K-pop at the moment, well he has been for a while as
well.
Works a lot with SM groups and all that.
So she's worked with an extensive list of producers that are very interesting and different
(08:14):
ones which I really like because you can tell here that she really went for what she really
likes in terms of productions and she experimented a lot which is incredible.
So yeah, them joints, that was what I was thinking about but yes.
So yeah, period.
(08:36):
Then I also want to talk about one last song.
Maybe actually two last songs, I don't know, this is so much.
Oh my God, I'm adding so many tracks here.
It's fine.
Dog and Close Off, so Dog by Charlotte Lawrence and Close Off by Alexia.
(08:59):
Dog is, if you know anything about Charlotte Lawrence, I think she has a very specific
voice in terms of sound and production which is very interesting.
She sings a lot of like, various ad-ass shit ballads so this is one of them I would say
and it is quite captivating also in terms of lyrics I would say.
(09:25):
Just very sad, like very sad.
I just cannot, if you like a bit of that singer-songwriter type of vibe and very sad production and
very sad vocals specifically.
She has a very evocative, like very emotive I guess, type of voice.
So slay.
Close Off instead by Alexia.
(09:46):
I don't know much about Alexia but this song is, for me personally, a big revelation because
it made me realize that, you know, Chapel Rowan has already a big influence on the pop
music scene and she sounds, in terms of the song itself, like voice-wise she doesn't
really sound like Chapel but the song itself is just so much fun and it reminds me so much
(10:06):
of like a Chapel Rowan type of production and it is, you know, a bit of that silly,
funny, flirty type of thing that Chapel is really good at.
So yes.
So that's a big, you know, a big moment for her.
(10:28):
And I'm, so I really recommend, so if you do like Chapel Rowan, something a bit more
like upbeat and fun, I would say go for this song, go for this song.
And yeah.
So I am ready to talk about now the big number for the night, which is Mayhem by Lady Gaga.
(10:56):
So here's the little backs where I got somebody's album.
Maybe it's like a, well, I don't want to say it's like a speculation of course for this
but I think personally that this album was strategically placed here and the concept
(11:18):
itself is a bit reminiscent also of the Joker because specifically I think she was putting
so much, I guess like weight on the success of the Joker too and she, of course none of
us would have expected how bad it was going to go, but I think conceptually that makes
so much sense.
(11:39):
Like you know, hype herself up with the role that she played as an early queen, but then
you know, that movie has a lot of drama involved.
Apparently she shot like a lot of scenes, so many scenes and most of them have been
cut off the final product.
I think it's the final movie that was released and so God knows what her role actually was
(12:01):
and how good she was in it.
We got to see very little of her in the movie.
I didn't even go to watch the movie to the theater for how bad it was.
I mean from what people were telling so and then I watched it by myself on streaming and
I frankly didn't like it at all as well, but I feel really bad for her specifically because
(12:22):
that was a shit show and you know, there was a lot of like trouble in terms of blaming
who did the worst in this movie and like who was culpable for how the movie went down and
all that stuff.
So she was definitely caught in a storm and I can sort of see however that if the movie
(12:43):
went the way she wanted it to go and if the movie delivered in that sense, this could
have been an even bigger moment because the concept of Mayhem is very, I would say, adjacent
to the Joker and it is some sort of, I think it springs from the same root which is embracing
(13:04):
your internal chaos and internal mayhem and both your dark sides and your inner turmoil
I guess.
That's sort of also what the Joker, the first one at least, also was about and that would
have fit so well with the album release but it's whatever.
(13:25):
We're gonna pretend like that didn't happen and unfortunately it did happen but whatever.
I think at that moment we were all a bit shocked I guess and a bit concerned of whether the
album was gonna go as well as we were thinking of because to be fair she did get a bit of
a hit and I do believe that if she ever wants to go back to acting she's gonna have to
(13:49):
do a lot of work again to get into that.
Lady Gaga has not had the best luck in terms of movie business I guess and the role she
got but yes.
So that's definitely a door closed for now.
Not to say that she cannot reopen it, she will I think because she really enjoys acting
(14:11):
but she has to do a lot of heavy lifting again for that.
So yeah.
But yeah, so we were all I guess concerned that she was gonna get sort of affected also
in terms of the release of this album because again, they're sort of in close proximity
kind of, not really but you know, it's sort of like a continuation in topic and in concept
(14:34):
from that movie so consider us worried I guess.
But then I think what happened was she sort of I think also very smartly I guess reintroduced
herself with the Bruno Mars song Die With A Smile which in my opinion still doesn't
really fit sonically at all with this album but I guess it was like a hit that she wrote
(14:59):
in collaboration and then she included later to you know, prop up the album but that song
being a bit more digestible was definitely a good choice and I think people quickly forgot
about the bad press and the bad movie situation and sort of recaptured the attention at least
for a bit.
(15:21):
Now what she was really sitting on was of course the actual album which is frankly
so different from Die With A Smile.
It's a dark pop electronic influence in that sense like electro pop, a very dancey, danceable
EDM influence album and even visually it's very dark and reminiscent of the original
(15:45):
Lady Gaga so I think if the mishap of The Joker didn't happen we would have had a very
proper like you know, era in that sense but it is what it is so in fact when she released
Disease I think it still lost a lot of momentum because people were not you know, paying attention
(16:05):
to it, they wanted a bit more of that conservative sound I guess that she went for with Die With
A Smile but if you know anything about Lady Gaga then you have to let her cook and she
has a vision and she is an artiste first and foremost so you just have to trust the process
(16:31):
I guess and her vision because it's something that like you can never sort of like experience
her album like with the singles alone in that sense.
It's a full project and you have to see the full vision and I have to be honest Disease
was my shit so I don't know why y'all were talking about not being good or whatever or
not being very interesting to the song but that was a hit and I don't want to say it
(16:56):
but I do agree with Azalea Banks on Twitter how much she praised the song it is quite
different in a sense that the sound itself is dark pop and it's very like Minnesota
side of the old Gaga but also the vocal delivery is almost like rock it's like a rock performance
and it's so bloody good and I also do really enjoy the production to be quite frank so
(17:19):
yeah basically yeah I'm very impressed with I was very impressed with the song and even
the visuals I was like oh she is she's back she's back with with her with her you know
performance theatrical you know weird sort of production because she's she's a weird
(17:43):
artist like she's supposed to unsettle you that's the main point about Lady Gaga that's
her main forte I would say that theatricalness of course but also the weird shit that she
does in the videos and in the songs and everything else and that was it like I feel like with
Chromatica I think it was still a bit of a safe bad in that sense in terms of singles
(18:04):
and everything they were not as left-leaning like experimental in that or not experimental
but you know weird campy as much as they could be they were still camped don't get me wrong
because it is Lady Gaga but she wasn't giving us the full moment that we were you know waiting
for but anyways so yeah disease came him out it wasn't really a much of a hit in that sense
(18:27):
even though it did benefit from then the second release and people started paying attention
to it again but disease was the real moment sorry Abrakanaba was the real moment where
we all I guess were tuning in and the attention span was brought up for the album as well
so I think also the very good marketing move I guess there was to release the video at
(18:54):
the Grammys in between the Grammys like as an ad people were tuned in for the Grammys
this year and I think everyone was sort of like on the lookout to see what the you know
one of the big it girls in the in the pop in the pop sphere I guess was gonna do and
she delivered she was sitting on this and this was the moment and again I talked about
(19:14):
it and the other episodes but that video just is perfection and the song is also perfection
it's a very dark but also very housey and disco influenced but also EDM so I think we
were yeah with the second offering we were sort of getting a vibe that it was going to
(19:38):
be offered to us and not complaining because I think actually that's pretty much spot on
and she did have many interviews I did watch also specifically the the most latest the
latest one with Apple I guess I had the Apple interview Zach LaHuey I guess and that was
so good to just listen to the the way she explained the album like she literally sold
(20:03):
us what she promised basically she was saying that this was gonna be a 90s dark pop electro
pop dance type of influence and it is it is that like when we when I first listened to
the album was like oh I see what like she really captured that like she wasn't giving
us false promises like you know Juleeba for example with that like you know Juleeba was
(20:27):
saying that she was gonna give us a massive attack or whatever in Future Nostalgia and
not Future Nostalgia what was it training season is that was that the album literally
that album I don't even know what is it called anymore because I never paid attention to
Juleeba yes Gaga delivered on her promises and people were saying that the songs don't
(20:48):
sound more like like that with a smile they're more just into that but I don't think that
I think they're actually more aligning with disease specifically there's a lot of rock
90s rock influence she did say in the Zach LaHuey interview that she took a lot of inspiration
from The Cure that the band and also a lot of 90s song that she grew up with and you
(21:09):
can definitely feel and hear the Michael Jackson influence for example here there's a lot of
that there's a lot of also I would say like it's in between the 90s and the 2000s because
there's a lot of like also early 2000s production but more like in the EDM sphere that she already
did back in the days so I am so impressed with this but again it's sort of like a return
(21:36):
to form in the best possible way because I think she really recaptured that hunger that
she had when she was first up and coming and also the vibe that she was providing but I
think also at the same time it's like it is reminiscent of that but it's also reminiscent
of something different you know it's like it's giving you a bit of a fresh it's like
a re refreshed sort of sound that was already done by her but it doesn't sound dated it
(22:02):
doesn't sound you know like reheated like the nachos she was talking about it's just
good good and original and you know a good change of pace I guess for the music scene
I'm glad that is not too much heavily influenced by the 80s disco moment even though there
(22:27):
are some moments in here that sound very 80s as well but I think overall it's more like
on the 90s production like a very crunchy dark feeling in that sense and you can definitely
hear the Michael Jackson influence on a lot of the tracks and that is incredible so yeah
and also she collaborated with a lot of producers that she wanted to work with for ages and
(22:50):
I'm glad you brought about that she only has one collaboration which is you know very important
to her because it is the one and only Gesefelstein so that's incredible but yeah I want to go
maybe through some of the moments I guess on the album to sort of highlight the main
(23:12):
themes Mayim as she explained it is supposed to be sort of like an album about like as
an internal turmoil and grappling with your own inner chaos in that sense and I can definitely
see that in you know like Perfect Celebrity for example or Killa, Zombie Boy like you
(23:34):
know a lot of these things How Bad Do You Want Me like it's a very desperate track as
well there's a lot of that but I think overall it's like most of the songs are very actually
romantic and like well romantic but it's a lot about love and all that so that's definitely
(23:55):
one of the main themes but there's also like a lot of self-reflection here and a lot of
meta commentary on like being a celebrity of course with Perfect Celebrity and maybe
even like you know The Beast and all that but yeah overall it's like a very cohesive
(24:16):
sounding album very upbeat overall even though the last three songs are all ballads but everything
else is just pretty much upbeat, up tempo, dance and you know break your fucking neck
basically all the songs are over three minutes which I really appreciate as well and they
don't even sound like they're dragging on like every single piece of the song really
(24:38):
makes sense and I'm very very impressed with the melodies played here there's a lot of
attention paid I guess to the melodical sound and the catchy hooks which as you may know
I'm a very big fan of and that makes or breaks I think a pop song so that is incredible I
(25:00):
am so impressed but yes so she opens up the album with like disease and a broken opera
disease is already a sort of like it does tie very well with the theme of you know very
internal turmoil about love in that sense so that is and that was the first offering
(25:21):
properly from Mayim so that it was already something I mean I can cure your disease if
you were to enter I can make you believe lay down like one three whatever I know your sickness
I can cure your disease so that was pretty straightforward I'm working on is more you
(25:43):
know embracing your turmoil I guess and like letting it out on the dance floor and just
letting letting yourself be free and all that so it is very interesting now the run the
track run from disease to like perfect celebrity is just so fucking incredible because it's
disease a prograbber and then it's garden of Eden which is in my opinion at the moment
(26:07):
the best song on the album and you can find that also in the playlist of the month but
garden of Eden garden of Eden is like quintessential Lady Gaga in my opinion like it sounds very
the fame master as well he sounds quite like there's definitely that rock influence as
well because there's a lot of like that guitar you know also a bit reminds me of John Wayne
(26:31):
from Joanne there's a lot of that in there as well I think but overall the production
is just so disgustingly good and it's incredible like so grungy so electro pop so dark and
the theme itself is very Lady Gaga as well it's like you know temptation and those religious
connotations like the garden of Eden like the poisoned apple and you know I just love
(26:58):
that the chorus is the best part ever like this is so good the way she goes she leads
into it hit the lights and you know DJ hit the lights whatever and then she goes like
I can be your girlfriend for the weekend you can be my boyfriend for the night it's just
so good and she's like I'm excused to make a bad decision body's getting closer under
(27:20):
the lights like it's just you know about giving into the temptation and just embracing you
know this sort of dark side of yourself and it is the same in the same vein as disease
as well I guess so period and it's just it's just so so good so good I'll take you to the
(27:40):
garden of Eden it's just so good it's just so good and then you know the post chorus
sorry the outro I guess as well the instrumental outro is just so good the production is just
incredible I am in awe because this song I just didn't expect it and it is produced by
(28:01):
Gesaffelstein so you know that's one of her big you know producer dreams that she wanted
to work with so it's produced by her as well of course but Terke will also work on this
but Gesaffelstein gave the production such a good hump I guess yeah so that's my favorite
track on the album for sure then Perfect Celebrity is more like a reflection on her I guess
(28:30):
her fame but also her specifically herself as an icon and as something that transcends
her own sense of self like something that the collective you know Lady Gaga that we
all love I guess and so it's a very interesting and you know complex song and nuanced about
you know the good and bad sides of being a celebrity and you know just like internal
(28:54):
turmoil again that she has between you know sometimes loving this side of her and you
know forever trying to live up to that name that she built for herself but also sometimes
hating it and being constrained by it and sometimes being crushed by it and you could
definitely see that she even in previous albums I guess just for the sake of trying to keep
(29:18):
that fame up and the idea that people have of her she's done so many things that perhaps
didn't feel as I don't want to say as genuine but definitely more forced like even Chromatica
I loved Chromatica some of these tracks but I think it still felt like I don't know like
her playing a Lady Gaga role you know that's well here I think it's a bit of a mixture
(29:41):
of both like she's definitely playing into the Lady Gaga persona but also it's a very
raw album and a very honest you know and inspired and also I would say it feels very you know
like motivated in that sense there is there is a motivation behind the album and it's
(30:02):
very very poignant and very honed in that sense a very honed craft here so yeah I look
so hungry but I look so good tap on my veins suck on my diamond blood choke on the fame
and hope it gets you high as an infernal in the front row watch the princess die like
you know it's just so so meta like it reminds me a bit of that paparazzi performance that
(30:25):
she also did back in the days the rip of my face in this photograph you make me money
I'll make you laugh show me you're pretty I'll show you mine you'll love to hate me
I'm the perfect library like just so meta this this song like I think this is one of
the best written songs on the album as well it's just so interesting and it's so difficult
also come up with good lyrics for such a concept I think you can get very cheesy very you know
(30:51):
unrelatable but this is just very poignant so love it I do also like vanish into you
it's very cool very cool track I got another sort of like love song here or at least you
know it's very much about infatuation and all that stuff so yeah killer is so extreme
(31:18):
I like the thought the lyrics a lot I'm a killer I'm boy you're gonna die tonight and
it's just like you know I'm gonna make you scream that's a matter of fact I'll be your
fantasy I'm gonna be your full-time bedroom demon like what why is this it just works
and this is the it's such an interesting track for real for real love drug I also liked
(31:40):
for example love drug was you know sort of I guess like well it's a comparison to love
well it's sort of like the usual thing that you almost seen in many songs like love being
an addiction and insatiable sort of like form of I don't know never-ending addiction I guess
(32:09):
but just the lyrics here are incredible like River in my eyes have got a poem in my throat
I hear the music and it takes me by surprise picture in my mind they come on faster than
they go and around me this one will make me blind just so fucking good so fucking good
I'm so impressed with that writing of this album is just blowing my mind so yeah now
(32:31):
here we got to the moment has been taken the internet by a storm and it's how bad you want
me people have been saying that this sounds like it sounds like gorgeous by Taylor Swift
from reputation sounds a bit like a Taylor Swift 1999 type of track and I can see all
of that personally because it also down to the lyrics it's something that is very you
(32:52):
know Taylor Swift adjacent for whatever reason but not in a knock-off way because it could
still it still carries a bit of that Gaga I mean the main thing here is that it comes
from the that late 80s beginning of the 90s sort of production I guess and it could fit
(33:12):
on 1999 I would say if we really want to play that game but people have been of course saying
oh there's you know background vocals given by Taylor Swift for this track like this whenever
there's a big girl moment happening they always someone always comes up with like a weird
theory that there is a hidden Taylor Swift vocal in one of the songs like what did it
with bodyguard by Beyonce like no that ain't the truth but anyway this song how bad do
(33:41):
you want me it's just if you like a good pop moment if you like gorgeous by Taylor Swift
if you like 1989 this song is for you and I personally love it so and again it is another
love song because you like my hair my ripped up jeans you like the bad girl I got in me
she's on your mind like all the time but I got a tattoo for us last week even good boys
(34:02):
bleed how bad bad do you want me so it's like you know trying to test the waters and see
you know how far can this person go and can this person accept the more extreme sides
of herself I guess but just it's just so good so earnest as well I personally love the track
(34:26):
so it's lame then I also love the occult tonight I guess shadow of a man that is for me one
of the clearest inspiration taken from Michael Jackson I guess like it just sounds a lot
of like a Michael Jackson type of song but it's just of course humped up and like modernized
(34:49):
a bit and just a dark pop yes the dark there's a bit of a disco influence here as well but
it's just really really good I'm not really sure like what's the like the point of the
song itself like what's the the point like in terms of the lyrical content you guys in
(35:15):
that sense like when I get this feeling I can get enough because I start believing and
my voice gets tough I get this feeling good enough because I won't be used for my love
and left out to cry I need to sit on this one but I think production wise and melody
wise it is one of my favorite songs on the album it's just so good and the what is it
(35:38):
the chorus itself is just like very 90s I don't know how to explain it but it's just
so good like the way it's chopped up and everything is just so good and yeah and then we get towards
the closing of the album with two well three ballads I guess if we count also that with
a smile the beast she talked extensively about this also in the on the interview that she
(36:04):
made for Apple Music so basically it seems to be you know sort of embracing this like
very dark side of yourself and crave for her partner to crave also her dark side so much
(36:27):
and to free the beast from within from this other person right and she promises him to
love him just by this beast deal basically intentions and yeah so it is a bit of people
have been thinking it relates to the werewolf situation here you know like to want to see
(36:49):
something like the real side of you like the real hidden part of you and all that stuff
very compelling it's a bit of a ballad type of track Blade of Grass is also on a sort
of the same vein I guess it's like I think she said this in the interview is actually
(37:10):
a real moment in between her and actual her husband like how they basically would marry
him even with like a blade of grass basically like just go to the backyard pick a blade
of grass and like rub it on my finger and I'll marry you basically so yeah that's very
(37:33):
cute and very you know very special I guess for her as well as a song it's a very cute
like ballad song and it does weirdly enough also still feel part of the album I would
say so it works pretty well I would have ended the album here to be fair that way a smile
is a great track in general but I don't think sonically fits and even to be fair like I
(38:02):
don't think it fits lyrically it is a love song of course as that like this album is
about love as well but there's no danger no dark side to this sort of like even blade
of grass is a bit of a blade of grass is a love song and a ballad on the more sweeter
side but it's still there's still that sense of like danger and you know confusion and
(38:23):
chaos in it while that with a smile is more like a classic profession of love I guess
so but yeah I understand why she put it there because you know it was a good prop up for
the album and it gives the album more numbers I guess so slay for that but yeah this album
was incredible I would say like I'm gonna say it of course on a bit more but I think
(38:48):
this has potential to be one of the best albums of the year already so I'm excited this we're
finally you know things are moving it's been it's been two months of absolutely nothing
and then we got the the black pink girls feeding us thankfully and then Tamek Ray as well and
now finally we have a big pop moment again so catch me listening to Garden of Eden on
(39:11):
repeat forever so period yeah so hope you guys have a nice week ahead of you and listen
to this album and just eat you know I'm gonna go watch Sabrina Carpenter tonight so Sabrina
Carpenter better better serve I think she will anyways but I'm so excited so I'll report
on that next episode bye
Hey, welcome to the Overshare pamphlet.
(00:25):
My name is Robin.
Welcome to the Overshare pamphlet.
Today is the day we are finally talking about the long awaited return of Lady Gaga.
(00:56):
As usual with all these episodes, the fair disclaimer is that I haven't really had time
to sit with the project for a long time of course, so I cannot really give you my final
thoughts on the album of course, but it's sort of like a first impression and what really
I guess got me on the toe cold about this album.
(01:19):
And spoiler alert, there's a lot to talk about and there's a lot to praise here, because
this is probably one of the best releases so far of the year I guess, but also in general
by Lady Gaga period.
Like she just is back on her full game I guess.
So we'll get into that.
I am very much excited to talk about this album of course, but I will need to first talk about
(01:45):
just generally songs of the week.
I will include as usual a couple of songs from the album into the songs of the week.
You can find them in the playlist of the month called basically, you know, the version of
Pamphlet, Songs of the Week, Dash, whatever month we're in.
So for this one it's going to be March 2025.
Anyways, so let's start off with Haeyum.
(02:13):
I mean, you may know them for the collaboration with Taylor Swift or you may know them just
for in general for their music, but I think I believe they are an Australian band made
of three sisters.
So you know, they've been very popular, I mean, I guess in the rock alternative indie
(02:37):
genre a bit for the right reasons, because they are incredible.
And specifically I just returned to this album because I don't know, I've been looking forward
to December, the weather is getting so much better these days and I just like, I need
that anticipation for December personally.
So whenever I want to feel like that, I think one of my favourite albums to listen to is
(02:59):
Women in Music Part 3 because some, well, I would say majority of the album is a very
summery album and just gives you that sort of, you know, feel like interpretive, I don't
know, I guess just simply like, I don't want to say like relaxed, but like summery vacation
type of, just gives you heat, I don't know, like humid weather, I don't know, it's just
(03:26):
the feeling that the album gives you I guess.
But the album is a bit of, as I said, like a bit of a country-esque rock indie alternative
sort of extravaganza, but it's just so good.
And the two songs that I really really enjoy from this album are Los Angeles and These
Steps.
(03:47):
So you can find those in the playlist.
Again, they're both very alternative indie, but also a bit, I guess there's definitely
like a bit of a country element and a bit of a reggae moment in some of the tracks.
I think actually Los Angeles may have a bit of that influence as well, but it's just an
(04:14):
incredible incredible project overall.
So I'm just gonna put those two songs in and yeah, you can check them out there and check
out the entire album.
I would say that either you check it out now or even better if you can remember about that,
but just you know when you feel like the heat is coming and you're, it's gonna be summer
(04:36):
soon, just gonna have to spin around for at least one listen and you'll see what I'm talking
about.
But yes, so that's that.
Then I want to talk about the new Jennie album, Ruby, well her first album basically, first
(04:59):
full-length album and she has so many interesting songs in this.
The vibe of this album is very interesting.
I do wanna, as I said in my previous episode, I wanna make an episode about all those solo
projects like overall by the Blackpink members.
But I think Jennie has the most like non-trend chasing in that sense type of album.
(05:25):
She has a very unique sound in this that is not really you know what's popping off in
the charts or whatever.
Like Lisa for example is going, as I said in my previous episode, is going after that
early 2000 type of sound and then Rosie went for that.
Then like singer-songwriter type of ballad, ballad-y, acoustic guitar type of album that
(05:52):
again is very popular right now and popularized by Taylor Swift of course.
Don't take it away from her.
But yeah, and Jisoo, well Jisoo, I don't think we can, well I'll get to her in the episode
and I'll talk about her, but she made an EP so it's not enough material to talk about
the influence.
I think you can tell there's a lot of electro pop and house type of influence there.
(06:17):
But Jennie has surprisingly a wide variety of productions here.
There's a lot of R&B, a lot of solo, a lot of pop moments as well of course, a lot of
hip-hop as well and is just quite unique.
And I believe she actually had the most streams in a day for this year for a K-pop artist.
(06:38):
So for the drop of the album basically, the album got the most streams out of all the
K-pop releases this year.
So kudos to that and big, big sign.
But one of my favorite tracks, I guess there's two to be fair.
Like Jennie is of course an incredible track, but I think what I really like is Handlebars
(07:00):
with Dua Lipa.
It's such a good pop song and somehow Jennie and Dua Lipa seem to have a very similar vocal
performance here.
Like sometimes it's very hard to distinguish between the two of them I think, but just
really, really good.
It does seem like a Dua Lipa track to be fair, but also I don't care, like that's a good
(07:27):
song.
And then the other one is Filter.
I think it's a bit of an on the R&B category and it's just beautiful.
Even the lyrics, I just love it so much.
And I'm very surprised that she collaborated here with Michael Maede and then also I think
Diplo on like Jennie said, there's a lot of great stuff on the album, a lot of interesting
(07:49):
producers, a lot of...
What is this name?
Oh my God.
Well he's a very big producer in K-pop at the moment, well he has been for a while as
well.
Works a lot with SM groups and all that.
So she's worked with an extensive list of producers that are very interesting and different
(08:14):
ones which I really like because you can tell here that she really went for what she really
likes in terms of productions and she experimented a lot which is incredible.
So yeah, them joints, that was what I was thinking about but yes.
So yeah, period.
(08:36):
Then I also want to talk about one last song.
Maybe actually two last songs, I don't know, this is so much.
Oh my God, I'm adding so many tracks here.
It's fine.
Dog and Close Off, so Dog by Charlotte Lawrence and Close Off by Alexia.
(08:59):
Dog is, if you know anything about Charlotte Lawrence, I think she has a very specific
voice in terms of sound and production which is very interesting.
She sings a lot of like, various ad-ass shit ballads so this is one of them I would say
and it is quite captivating also in terms of lyrics I would say.
(09:25):
Just very sad, like very sad.
I just cannot, if you like a bit of that singer-songwriter type of vibe and very sad production and
very sad vocals specifically.
She has a very evocative, like very emotive I guess, type of voice.
So slay.
Close Off instead by Alexia.
(09:46):
I don't know much about Alexia but this song is, for me personally, a big revelation because
it made me realize that, you know, Chapel Rowan has already a big influence on the pop
music scene and she sounds, in terms of the song itself, like voice-wise she doesn't
really sound like Chapel but the song itself is just so much fun and it reminds me so much
(10:06):
of like a Chapel Rowan type of production and it is, you know, a bit of that silly,
funny, flirty type of thing that Chapel is really good at.
So yes.
So that's a big, you know, a big moment for her.
(10:28):
And I'm, so I really recommend, so if you do like Chapel Rowan, something a bit more
like upbeat and fun, I would say go for this song, go for this song.
And yeah.
So I am ready to talk about now the big number for the night, which is Mayhem by Lady Gaga.
(10:56):
So here's the little backs where I got somebody's album.
Maybe it's like a, well, I don't want to say it's like a speculation of course for this
but I think personally that this album was strategically placed here and the concept
(11:18):
itself is a bit reminiscent also of the Joker because specifically I think she was putting
so much, I guess like weight on the success of the Joker too and she, of course none of
us would have expected how bad it was going to go, but I think conceptually that makes
so much sense.
(11:39):
Like you know, hype herself up with the role that she played as an early queen, but then
you know, that movie has a lot of drama involved.
Apparently she shot like a lot of scenes, so many scenes and most of them have been
cut off the final product.
I think it's the final movie that was released and so God knows what her role actually was
(12:01):
and how good she was in it.
We got to see very little of her in the movie.
I didn't even go to watch the movie to the theater for how bad it was.
I mean from what people were telling so and then I watched it by myself on streaming and
I frankly didn't like it at all as well, but I feel really bad for her specifically because
(12:22):
that was a shit show and you know, there was a lot of like trouble in terms of blaming
who did the worst in this movie and like who was culpable for how the movie went down and
all that stuff.
So she was definitely caught in a storm and I can sort of see however that if the movie
(12:43):
went the way she wanted it to go and if the movie delivered in that sense, this could
have been an even bigger moment because the concept of Mayhem is very, I would say, adjacent
to the Joker and it is some sort of, I think it springs from the same root which is embracing
(13:04):
your internal chaos and internal mayhem and both your dark sides and your inner turmoil
I guess.
That's sort of also what the Joker, the first one at least, also was about and that would
have fit so well with the album release but it's whatever.
(13:25):
We're gonna pretend like that didn't happen and unfortunately it did happen but whatever.
I think at that moment we were all a bit shocked I guess and a bit concerned of whether the
album was gonna go as well as we were thinking of because to be fair she did get a bit of
a hit and I do believe that if she ever wants to go back to acting she's gonna have to
(13:49):
do a lot of work again to get into that.
Lady Gaga has not had the best luck in terms of movie business I guess and the role she
got but yes.
So that's definitely a door closed for now.
Not to say that she cannot reopen it, she will I think because she really enjoys acting
(14:11):
but she has to do a lot of heavy lifting again for that.
So yeah.
But yeah, so we were all I guess concerned that she was gonna get sort of affected also
in terms of the release of this album because again, they're sort of in close proximity
kind of, not really but you know, it's sort of like a continuation in topic and in concept
(14:34):
from that movie so consider us worried I guess.
But then I think what happened was she sort of I think also very smartly I guess reintroduced
herself with the Bruno Mars song Die With A Smile which in my opinion still doesn't
really fit sonically at all with this album but I guess it was like a hit that she wrote
(14:59):
in collaboration and then she included later to you know, prop up the album but that song
being a bit more digestible was definitely a good choice and I think people quickly forgot
about the bad press and the bad movie situation and sort of recaptured the attention at least
for a bit.
(15:21):
Now what she was really sitting on was of course the actual album which is frankly
so different from Die With A Smile.
It's a dark pop electronic influence in that sense like electro pop, a very dancey, danceable
EDM influence album and even visually it's very dark and reminiscent of the original
(15:45):
Lady Gaga so I think if the mishap of The Joker didn't happen we would have had a very
proper like you know, era in that sense but it is what it is so in fact when she released
Disease I think it still lost a lot of momentum because people were not you know, paying attention
(16:05):
to it, they wanted a bit more of that conservative sound I guess that she went for with Die With
A Smile but if you know anything about Lady Gaga then you have to let her cook and she
has a vision and she is an artiste first and foremost so you just have to trust the process
(16:31):
I guess and her vision because it's something that like you can never sort of like experience
her album like with the singles alone in that sense.
It's a full project and you have to see the full vision and I have to be honest Disease
was my shit so I don't know why y'all were talking about not being good or whatever or
not being very interesting to the song but that was a hit and I don't want to say it
(16:56):
but I do agree with Azalea Banks on Twitter how much she praised the song it is quite
different in a sense that the sound itself is dark pop and it's very like Minnesota
side of the old Gaga but also the vocal delivery is almost like rock it's like a rock performance
and it's so bloody good and I also do really enjoy the production to be quite frank so
(17:19):
yeah basically yeah I'm very impressed with I was very impressed with the song and even
the visuals I was like oh she is she's back she's back with with her with her you know
performance theatrical you know weird sort of production because she's she's a weird
(17:43):
artist like she's supposed to unsettle you that's the main point about Lady Gaga that's
her main forte I would say that theatricalness of course but also the weird shit that she
does in the videos and in the songs and everything else and that was it like I feel like with
Chromatica I think it was still a bit of a safe bad in that sense in terms of singles
(18:04):
and everything they were not as left-leaning like experimental in that or not experimental
but you know weird campy as much as they could be they were still camped don't get me wrong
because it is Lady Gaga but she wasn't giving us the full moment that we were you know waiting
for but anyways so yeah disease came him out it wasn't really a much of a hit in that sense
(18:27):
even though it did benefit from then the second release and people started paying attention
to it again but disease was the real moment sorry Abrakanaba was the real moment where
we all I guess were tuning in and the attention span was brought up for the album as well
so I think also the very good marketing move I guess there was to release the video at
(18:54):
the Grammys in between the Grammys like as an ad people were tuned in for the Grammys
this year and I think everyone was sort of like on the lookout to see what the you know
one of the big it girls in the in the pop in the pop sphere I guess was gonna do and
she delivered she was sitting on this and this was the moment and again I talked about
(19:14):
it and the other episodes but that video just is perfection and the song is also perfection
it's a very dark but also very housey and disco influenced but also EDM so I think we
were yeah with the second offering we were sort of getting a vibe that it was going to
(19:38):
be offered to us and not complaining because I think actually that's pretty much spot on
and she did have many interviews I did watch also specifically the the most latest the
latest one with Apple I guess I had the Apple interview Zach LaHuey I guess and that was
so good to just listen to the the way she explained the album like she literally sold
(20:03):
us what she promised basically she was saying that this was gonna be a 90s dark pop electro
pop dance type of influence and it is it is that like when we when I first listened to
the album was like oh I see what like she really captured that like she wasn't giving
us false promises like you know Juleeba for example with that like you know Juleeba was
(20:27):
saying that she was gonna give us a massive attack or whatever in Future Nostalgia and
not Future Nostalgia what was it training season is that was that the album literally
that album I don't even know what is it called anymore because I never paid attention to
Juleeba yes Gaga delivered on her promises and people were saying that the songs don't
(20:48):
sound more like like that with a smile they're more just into that but I don't think that
I think they're actually more aligning with disease specifically there's a lot of rock
90s rock influence she did say in the Zach LaHuey interview that she took a lot of inspiration
from The Cure that the band and also a lot of 90s song that she grew up with and you
(21:09):
can definitely feel and hear the Michael Jackson influence for example here there's a lot of
that there's a lot of also I would say like it's in between the 90s and the 2000s because
there's a lot of like also early 2000s production but more like in the EDM sphere that she already
did back in the days so I am so impressed with this but again it's sort of like a return
(21:36):
to form in the best possible way because I think she really recaptured that hunger that
she had when she was first up and coming and also the vibe that she was providing but I
think also at the same time it's like it is reminiscent of that but it's also reminiscent
of something different you know it's like it's giving you a bit of a fresh it's like
a re refreshed sort of sound that was already done by her but it doesn't sound dated it
(22:02):
doesn't sound you know like reheated like the nachos she was talking about it's just
good good and original and you know a good change of pace I guess for the music scene
I'm glad that is not too much heavily influenced by the 80s disco moment even though there
(22:27):
are some moments in here that sound very 80s as well but I think overall it's more like
on the 90s production like a very crunchy dark feeling in that sense and you can definitely
hear the Michael Jackson influence on a lot of the tracks and that is incredible so yeah
and also she collaborated with a lot of producers that she wanted to work with for ages and
(22:50):
I'm glad you brought about that she only has one collaboration which is you know very important
to her because it is the one and only Gesefelstein so that's incredible but yeah I want to go
maybe through some of the moments I guess on the album to sort of highlight the main
(23:12):
themes Mayim as she explained it is supposed to be sort of like an album about like as
an internal turmoil and grappling with your own inner chaos in that sense and I can definitely
see that in you know like Perfect Celebrity for example or Killa, Zombie Boy like you
(23:34):
know a lot of these things How Bad Do You Want Me like it's a very desperate track as
well there's a lot of that but I think overall it's like most of the songs are very actually
romantic and like well romantic but it's a lot about love and all that so that's definitely
(23:55):
one of the main themes but there's also like a lot of self-reflection here and a lot of
meta commentary on like being a celebrity of course with Perfect Celebrity and maybe
even like you know The Beast and all that but yeah overall it's like a very cohesive
(24:16):
sounding album very upbeat overall even though the last three songs are all ballads but everything
else is just pretty much upbeat, up tempo, dance and you know break your fucking neck
basically all the songs are over three minutes which I really appreciate as well and they
don't even sound like they're dragging on like every single piece of the song really
(24:38):
makes sense and I'm very very impressed with the melodies played here there's a lot of
attention paid I guess to the melodical sound and the catchy hooks which as you may know
I'm a very big fan of and that makes or breaks I think a pop song so that is incredible I
(25:00):
am so impressed but yes so she opens up the album with like disease and a broken opera
disease is already a sort of like it does tie very well with the theme of you know very
internal turmoil about love in that sense so that is and that was the first offering
(25:21):
properly from Mayim so that it was already something I mean I can cure your disease if
you were to enter I can make you believe lay down like one three whatever I know your sickness
I can cure your disease so that was pretty straightforward I'm working on is more you
(25:43):
know embracing your turmoil I guess and like letting it out on the dance floor and just
letting letting yourself be free and all that so it is very interesting now the run the
track run from disease to like perfect celebrity is just so fucking incredible because it's
disease a prograbber and then it's garden of Eden which is in my opinion at the moment
(26:07):
the best song on the album and you can find that also in the playlist of the month but
garden of Eden garden of Eden is like quintessential Lady Gaga in my opinion like it sounds very
the fame master as well he sounds quite like there's definitely that rock influence as
well because there's a lot of like that guitar you know also a bit reminds me of John Wayne
(26:31):
from Joanne there's a lot of that in there as well I think but overall the production
is just so disgustingly good and it's incredible like so grungy so electro pop so dark and
the theme itself is very Lady Gaga as well it's like you know temptation and those religious
connotations like the garden of Eden like the poisoned apple and you know I just love
(26:58):
that the chorus is the best part ever like this is so good the way she goes she leads
into it hit the lights and you know DJ hit the lights whatever and then she goes like
I can be your girlfriend for the weekend you can be my boyfriend for the night it's just
so good and she's like I'm excused to make a bad decision body's getting closer under
(27:20):
the lights like it's just you know about giving into the temptation and just embracing you
know this sort of dark side of yourself and it is the same in the same vein as disease
as well I guess so period and it's just it's just so so good so good I'll take you to the
(27:40):
garden of Eden it's just so good it's just so good and then you know the post chorus
sorry the outro I guess as well the instrumental outro is just so good the production is just
incredible I am in awe because this song I just didn't expect it and it is produced by
(28:01):
Gesaffelstein so you know that's one of her big you know producer dreams that she wanted
to work with so it's produced by her as well of course but Terke will also work on this
but Gesaffelstein gave the production such a good hump I guess yeah so that's my favorite
track on the album for sure then Perfect Celebrity is more like a reflection on her I guess
(28:30):
her fame but also her specifically herself as an icon and as something that transcends
her own sense of self like something that the collective you know Lady Gaga that we
all love I guess and so it's a very interesting and you know complex song and nuanced about
you know the good and bad sides of being a celebrity and you know just like internal
(28:54):
turmoil again that she has between you know sometimes loving this side of her and you
know forever trying to live up to that name that she built for herself but also sometimes
hating it and being constrained by it and sometimes being crushed by it and you could
definitely see that she even in previous albums I guess just for the sake of trying to keep
(29:18):
that fame up and the idea that people have of her she's done so many things that perhaps
didn't feel as I don't want to say as genuine but definitely more forced like even Chromatica
I loved Chromatica some of these tracks but I think it still felt like I don't know like
her playing a Lady Gaga role you know that's well here I think it's a bit of a mixture
(29:41):
of both like she's definitely playing into the Lady Gaga persona but also it's a very
raw album and a very honest you know and inspired and also I would say it feels very you know
like motivated in that sense there is there is a motivation behind the album and it's
(30:02):
very very poignant and very honed in that sense a very honed craft here so yeah I look
so hungry but I look so good tap on my veins suck on my diamond blood choke on the fame
and hope it gets you high as an infernal in the front row watch the princess die like
you know it's just so so meta like it reminds me a bit of that paparazzi performance that
(30:25):
she also did back in the days the rip of my face in this photograph you make me money
I'll make you laugh show me you're pretty I'll show you mine you'll love to hate me
I'm the perfect library like just so meta this this song like I think this is one of
the best written songs on the album as well it's just so interesting and it's so difficult
also come up with good lyrics for such a concept I think you can get very cheesy very you know
(30:51):
unrelatable but this is just very poignant so love it I do also like vanish into you
it's very cool very cool track I got another sort of like love song here or at least you
know it's very much about infatuation and all that stuff so yeah killer is so extreme
(31:18):
I like the thought the lyrics a lot I'm a killer I'm boy you're gonna die tonight and
it's just like you know I'm gonna make you scream that's a matter of fact I'll be your
fantasy I'm gonna be your full-time bedroom demon like what why is this it just works
and this is the it's such an interesting track for real for real love drug I also liked
(31:40):
for example love drug was you know sort of I guess like well it's a comparison to love
well it's sort of like the usual thing that you almost seen in many songs like love being
an addiction and insatiable sort of like form of I don't know never-ending addiction I guess
(32:09):
but just the lyrics here are incredible like River in my eyes have got a poem in my throat
I hear the music and it takes me by surprise picture in my mind they come on faster than
they go and around me this one will make me blind just so fucking good so fucking good
I'm so impressed with that writing of this album is just blowing my mind so yeah now
(32:31):
here we got to the moment has been taken the internet by a storm and it's how bad you want
me people have been saying that this sounds like it sounds like gorgeous by Taylor Swift
from reputation sounds a bit like a Taylor Swift 1999 type of track and I can see all
of that personally because it also down to the lyrics it's something that is very you
(32:52):
know Taylor Swift adjacent for whatever reason but not in a knock-off way because it could
still it still carries a bit of that Gaga I mean the main thing here is that it comes
from the that late 80s beginning of the 90s sort of production I guess and it could fit
(33:12):
on 1999 I would say if we really want to play that game but people have been of course saying
oh there's you know background vocals given by Taylor Swift for this track like this whenever
there's a big girl moment happening they always someone always comes up with like a weird
theory that there is a hidden Taylor Swift vocal in one of the songs like what did it
with bodyguard by Beyonce like no that ain't the truth but anyway this song how bad do
(33:41):
you want me it's just if you like a good pop moment if you like gorgeous by Taylor Swift
if you like 1989 this song is for you and I personally love it so and again it is another
love song because you like my hair my ripped up jeans you like the bad girl I got in me
she's on your mind like all the time but I got a tattoo for us last week even good boys
(34:02):
bleed how bad bad do you want me so it's like you know trying to test the waters and see
you know how far can this person go and can this person accept the more extreme sides
of herself I guess but just it's just so good so earnest as well I personally love the track
(34:26):
so it's lame then I also love the occult tonight I guess shadow of a man that is for me one
of the clearest inspiration taken from Michael Jackson I guess like it just sounds a lot
of like a Michael Jackson type of song but it's just of course humped up and like modernized
(34:49):
a bit and just a dark pop yes the dark there's a bit of a disco influence here as well but
it's just really really good I'm not really sure like what's the like the point of the
song itself like what's the the point like in terms of the lyrical content you guys in
(35:15):
that sense like when I get this feeling I can get enough because I start believing and
my voice gets tough I get this feeling good enough because I won't be used for my love
and left out to cry I need to sit on this one but I think production wise and melody
wise it is one of my favorite songs on the album it's just so good and the what is it
(35:38):
the chorus itself is just like very 90s I don't know how to explain it but it's just
so good like the way it's chopped up and everything is just so good and yeah and then we get towards
the closing of the album with two well three ballads I guess if we count also that with
a smile the beast she talked extensively about this also in the on the interview that she
(36:04):
made for Apple Music so basically it seems to be you know sort of embracing this like
very dark side of yourself and crave for her partner to crave also her dark side so much
(36:27):
and to free the beast from within from this other person right and she promises him to
love him just by this beast deal basically intentions and yeah so it is a bit of people
have been thinking it relates to the werewolf situation here you know like to want to see
(36:49):
something like the real side of you like the real hidden part of you and all that stuff
very compelling it's a bit of a ballad type of track Blade of Grass is also on a sort
of the same vein I guess it's like I think she said this in the interview is actually
(37:10):
a real moment in between her and actual her husband like how they basically would marry
him even with like a blade of grass basically like just go to the backyard pick a blade
of grass and like rub it on my finger and I'll marry you basically so yeah that's very
(37:33):
cute and very you know very special I guess for her as well as a song it's a very cute
like ballad song and it does weirdly enough also still feel part of the album I would
say so it works pretty well I would have ended the album here to be fair that way a smile
is a great track in general but I don't think sonically fits and even to be fair like I
(38:02):
don't think it fits lyrically it is a love song of course as that like this album is
about love as well but there's no danger no dark side to this sort of like even blade
of grass is a bit of a blade of grass is a love song and a ballad on the more sweeter
side but it's still there's still that sense of like danger and you know confusion and
(38:23):
chaos in it while that with a smile is more like a classic profession of love I guess
so but yeah I understand why she put it there because you know it was a good prop up for
the album and it gives the album more numbers I guess so slay for that but yeah this album
was incredible I would say like I'm gonna say it of course on a bit more but I think
(38:48):
this has potential to be one of the best albums of the year already so I'm excited this we're
finally you know things are moving it's been it's been two months of absolutely nothing
and then we got the the black pink girls feeding us thankfully and then Tamek Ray as well and
now finally we have a big pop moment again so catch me listening to Garden of Eden on
(39:11):
repeat forever so period yeah so hope you guys have a nice week ahead of you and listen
to this album and just eat you know I'm gonna go watch Sabrina Carpenter tonight so Sabrina
Carpenter better better serve I think she will anyways but I'm so excited so I'll report
on that next episode bye
