That’s ok, I keep singing it as streetwalker.
After listening to the album I can't believe her team wasted two promo single slots on Weapons and One of Us. Literally the two worst songs here.
Apart from that, my real main gripe with an otherwise solid collection of songs is that most of them are far too short. Barely any of them have a middle eight which is criminal when they're otherwise so good. Nearly all of them just follow a basic verse-chorus-verse-chorus-outro structure.
The obvious standouts to me are Sleepwalker, Maybe You're the Problem, Ghost, Diamonds and Dancefloors, Hold Up (Wait A Minute), Get Out Of My Heart and Dancing's Done.

This album is so fun to dance around too.

The album is just wall-to-wall bangers with fantastic production, melodies and hooks. Someone on Twitter compared it to Rachel Stevens' "Come and Get It" and I honestly feel that's pretty apt considering it seems destined to be a gay cult electropop classic.

Legends only.
The album is absolutely brilliant. I actually love every song on it. Even Weapons and One Of Us, which I didn't like that much on first play, sound incredible within the context of the album. It's such a fun, relentlessly pop, packed with melodies, well produced album - the type that no other mainstream artist is making right now, really, and I appreciate that very much. You can tell Ava really gets pop music and has got a great ear for hooks.

I'm honestly so fucking excited to listen to this. I want the OG artwork though (it serves Born This Way a bit), so I'll just watch this thread's hottest GIF while I listen.
