    These were excellent! I loved that the live performance of "Abracadbra" was still recognizable from the video but was also its own different thing. Also her new album is GREAT. I'm very much...

    Also her new album is GREAT. I'm very much digging it.

      Agreed and ditto. Abracadbra is still my fav track, but there are so many other bangers. Don't Call Tonight and Vanish Into You being my next favs, but Killah and LoveDrug are really growing on me...

Don't Call Tonight and Vanish Into You being my next favs, but Killah and LoveDrug are really growing on me now too. I like how 80s they all sound/feel (although Killah is a bit more 70s funk mixed with 90s industrial than 80s).

      p.s. @Flother, I guess I'm not the only person to make the Zombieboy -> Hollahback Girl comparison either. :P

        Hahah 😂 it took me a few listens to figure what song the beat reminded me of. That mashup hits the spot when it gets to B A N A N A S 🔥

          The bass and beat timing/progression of Zombieboy (starting at 16s) also reminds me of Rapper's Delight (starting at 18s) too. So there is another potential future mashup I'll be keeping an eye...
