speaking of plastic hearts... this week, the girls break down the most recent album from miley cyrus, titled plastic hearts. The discussion starts with a lot of laughing and zero focus on the actual episode but quickly turns to immense love for this album and for miley. victoria and sofia have a gatekeeping argument over "angels like you" which then turns into an argument about the lyrics. they discuss some songs that they didn't feel as strongly about, and it is brought up again how anusha doesn't love as hard as victoria and sofia do. the episode wraps up bordering the edge of chaos, but the girls keep it together to express their love for this album and its catchy songs. enjoy this chaotic yet hilarious episode :)

speaking of optimist... this week is filled with 90’s talk, business classes, and sad girl lyrics as sofia, anusha, and victoria discuss FINNEAS’ debut album. starting off with “Medieval”, they speak highly of his ability to properly target feelings and emotions in a way that connects to the listener. later, vic gets into her classical music superiority complex and flaunts her connection to “Peaches Etude”. surprisingly, they are able to avoid fighting over rankings and have a peaceful and enjoyable episode about an album they regard so highly.

speaking of 30... adele's big comeback album was finally released, and of course the girls had to talk about it as their first discussion of the new year and new season. the episode starts out with some questions about the album cover and chaotic rankings, but it falls into an interesting discussion about how this album is something fresh but still authentic to adele. the girls touch on the excessive song lengths and sofia brings up that voice memos in songs can be done improperly and properly, with both ways being present on this album. even though there are some mixed feelings about this album present, the girls still want to express their respect and admiration of adele and her music. enjoy the first episode of season 2!
