the commentary about 1989 is definitely what I've been saying for the past 6 years, Emotion conveys the 80's much better than 1989 but sadly it's overlooked. I love 1989 too but Emotion is so fucking special, if ever I get amnesia I'd probably cry all-over again over this album

@lalalulu17 2 жыл бұрын

agree. 1989 can be quite tedious after a while but emotion always gave you a sense of excitement at each replay.

@a.c.7573 Жыл бұрын

Emotion was also much more consistent musically than 1989. 1989 on the otherhand had songs that didn't fit the 'neo 80s' style.

@EljohnMacaranas 4 жыл бұрын

I think it would have flopped (just bc of general public’s taste) but it woulda earned her an insane amount of acclaim earlier on. The album being insanely good became a surprise for the Pitchfork crowd bc of IRLY.

@studentchicago91 4 жыл бұрын

Eljohn Macaranas I completely agree, but I honestly became such a fan after hearing Run Away with me. I saw the lead single and was like ehh another Call me Maybe 2.0. Then I heard RAWM and god completely change my ideology on her. But over all can’t disagree it was definitely the pop album of 2015.

I miss driving around cross-city 3am listening to emotion in 2016. Especially songs like Store, Making most of the night, Fever, Run away with me. All of them really. Its sad that there are only like 20 songs. The emotion theme shouldve been an album trilogy

@@EljohnMacaranas haha same with friends. Besides, this album is better listened to alone. It just hits deeper and differently. And idk why but it feels like every 2015 album was very deep and creative like adele 25. No one tries hard anymore. Everyone's starting to be more chill and basic with their music cause thats the trend.

@EljohnMacaranas 4 жыл бұрын

Clay Music There was a “poptimism” movement in the mid 2010’s that many consider the last hurrah of upbeat pop as the trend. The albums ppl cite as classics from that time are Emotion, 1989, Purpose and other albums of the time were being held as the standard. Critics were eating them up but then trap took over (which is fine but tbh it’s hard to truly stand out in that genre. I’m seeing people like Flo Milli make bubblegum trap and upbeat stuff though, so I see it evolving into something more fun.)
