Pivotal POP!

Haydn brought us a game that had us searching the old & new testament of Lorde's discography!

Coming off the critically acclaimed album 'Melodrama', the hype and expectation for Lorde's 3rd studio album was very apparent among fans & critics. What we got was 'Solar Power' which Lorde has described as her 'weed album'.  A psychedelic pop & folk record which was a departure from the heavy synth & dance orientated music of her last effort. The album divided fans & critics and is considered Lorde's flop album by many, which is why this album became a pivotal moment in her career.

Ed brings us a very fun and interesting game comparing songs from Kylie Minogue's Album X to others that they sound very similar too. 

Kylie Minogue's 10th studio album 'X' is perhaps the most forgotten album in her discography. After surviving breast cancer it was time for Kylie to make a comeback, but it wasn't quite what people expected. Kylie gave us her most diverse & experimental record in years, it almost completely neglected the personal journey she'd been on over the last few years and struggled to have an identity. However amongst the mess that was 'X' we got some of Kylie's most beloved tracks and this will go down as one of the most Pivotal Moments in her career.

After a stellar "de-butt" album with 'Been Waiting' all eyes were on Jessica Mauboy to see what she would do next. With the announcement of a Snoop Dogg collaboration on the first single the hype was certainly there, but did "Get Em' Girls" live up to the hype and could a poor singles rollout be the Pivotal moment that changed the trajectory of her career?
