Sir Greendown by Janelle Monae

[Aaron Phillips]

Wow, never actually gave her new shit a chance and I was blown away by that to be honest.

youtu.be/nCuvTKM04Jk
This is also beautiful.
Cocteau Twins "pre-raphaelite" era is excellent. This EP and Treasure.

Las Vegas is a good record too. Whole album that one. But it's more motherly and warm than the prettier tracks of their early career.

[Dominic Walker]

does pretty == has a female singer in your mind? You didn't even pick out which of the four songs you're referring to, but if you don't think Infant Eyes is a gorgeous song then your ears are shit.

[Luke Baker]

Good song.

Not pretty though.
Pretty has to have "air" to it.
That's too wet.

[Noah Green]

see If ya know what I mean.
It's too grounded.
Too Earthy.

Needs the air of angels. The delicate fragility. The glimmer of stars.

[Gavin Gray]

Also:
I meant aesthetically. It's a quality, not a judgemental ranking or anything like that.
As I said, it was nice. But it didn't fit.

[Adam Young]

lemme ponder that. thanks for clarifying what you meant. sorry for getting bitchy.

[Jeremiah Cook]

[David Thompson]

four tet - angel echoes
youtube.com/watch?v=Tpe4id7cLnU

[Elijah Hernandez]

see These are pretty. They got that delicate nature to it. That cute sexiness but innocence too.

To be honest pretty is very hard to explain now that I think about it.
Think "Sirens" (no, not the ones on fire engines).

this being a runner-up: youtube.com/watch?v=QUB7e3BtnvU

[Andrew Ward]

Very pretty.

Anything Futurepunk/Futurewave tends to be very pretty. But there's that dynamic to in-tenseness at times which kinda exaggerates or brings out the pretty delicateness of the softer parts.

First song on this is to me quintessential of that. Amazing.
youtube.com/watch?v=F9L4q-0Pi4E
But only pretty in it's soft bits and approach to dynamics.
Themes also bring out that aspect. The colours and emotions. The rollercoaster.

Many pretty songs have warm low backs and then very "shiny" and even tinny sounds over it.
And prettiness differs from beauty, which is usually overpowering.

[Aaron Wilson]

>ctrl-F "new grass"
my nigga

[Kevin Stewart]

First song is pretty, but the voice needs more air to bring it out. Also needs more separation of sound.
Needs space.

It sounds like im stuck in a very small, cramped closet with a very pretty angel.

[Oliver Hernandez]

She's normally a lot better at giving her songs space, but at the same time she shoots way past pretty into being twee.

[Nicholas Stewart]

no

[Thomas Clark]

Woah.

[Logan Morales]

ignore this faggot Sounds like a goddess. Music is so warm with colour and it just melts the vocals into this stunning gentle, bright feeling when you here it.
That's prettiness. It's when you catch the emotion on every part of the vocalization. You don't just listen to the lyrics, you hear what they truly mean to the person through the way it's vocalised.

[Carson Thomas]

it was joke. I actually listened to it because I love the Sundays.
