I am female, Middle Aged, and as white as can be. I’m not quite at Ugg boot wearing level but I do love me a Starbucks. Yet give me some reggae and I feel something different. The feet tap, the head bobs, I feel warm inside.
Still not sure when I’d put this music on though.

The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess
Chappell Roan
Love love love.
I know people are saying that this is too new to be included, but sometimes you can tell that an album is going to be a classic.
And to those that say that there is nothing original here, you need to have a good long look at the world and try to find ANYTHING original….and good. And while you’re at it stop being a d**k.
This album stands out, it has the X Factor, like Taylor Swift. Can’t put your finger on it but there’s just something about it.
Pink Pony Club lives in my head rent free, and it is welcome.

Kudos to Debbie Gibson for being a singer/Songwriter/performer/arranger, which is a massive achievement for anyone but even more massive for a woman in the period. But sadly this doesn’t make the music good.

I had to listen on Spotify so couldn’t listen to it in order and wasn’t sure when it ended.
