FROOT is lowkey the best album ever made. Banger after banger. 
Plus Savages is her best politically-charged song ever

Not hating on Marina or Butterfly but honestly I'm tired of the narrative that most Love + Fear songs are bad and meaningless, I mean you can still dislike the songs of course and there are some questionable decisions on some of the songs, yes they're simple but can you really say that Butterfly is better than for example Handmade Heaven, To Be Human, End Of The Earth, Soft To Be Strong, Believe In Love?

try to give the upcoming era a chance. admittedly her more recent albums have been on a much different level than her first 3 albums, but is the excessive amount of hate for the song really necessary? butterfly can be criticised in so many ways but it's a genuinely fun song and an improvement from a lot of the songs on love + fear. the lyricism isn't the best but it's the first single, i doubt it's going to be the best-written song on the entire album. the visuals, the sound, the production, and even the marketing are great. i'm not saying you can't dislike the song, but to dismiss an entire era because of the first single is an exaggeration in my opinion.
 
also seperate the art from the artist. even if you dont enjoy the song, or the writing, or the era just isn't clicking for you, attacking her personal life, experiences, and relationships which she's been vulnerable enough to share is just not a respectful thing to do. you can express your dislike to a song all you like, but refusing an entire album you haven't even heard and bullying her is just hate at that point. it's music, there's no need to take it so seriously. it'll naturally resonate differently with everyone

We love you Michelle <3 

This morning, actress Michelle Trachtenberg, known for her roles in Gossip Girl and Buffy the Vampire Slayer among numerous other projects, passed away at age 39.
She was discovered at 8am by her mother at her apartment in New York City. While an autopsy has not been performed and a cause of death has not been released, it has been reported that she recently underwent a liver transplant and may have been experiencing complications. Her death is not being investigated as suspicious and is believed to be from natural causes.
 
May she rest in peace. Very devastated by this news

Am I only one here who absolutely loves Handmade Heaven? I think it was an excellent choice for lead single during LF era

Agreed, I think that L+F sounds a lot more sad now because in this lyrics you can see that she was actually desperate trying to find inner peace and happiness but somehow she just tried to "accept" it:
"I need to believe in love, why is what you give never enough"
"Sit back and enjoy your problems, you don't always have to solve them"
"Yeah, you break me down, yeah you shut out, but it's all about you"
 
Fuck, I kinda need to revisit this album one day. It has actually many beautiful songs and to be honest I have always loved it.

My goodness some people need to lay off this woman, much as I agree with the points about her losing herself to the bubble of rich LA celebrities. She's been horribly ill for a long time and to our best public understanding, was in an abusive relationship for years and years. I don't enjoy all the directions her newer music takes and some of her art lacks soul, yes, but I really don't think we need to be this harsh on someone who has struggled this much for this long. And as much as L+F was mostly a flop, it is very clear to me that record was born out of a desperation to hide the abuse and illness she was going through and it breaks my heart that instead of seeing that album for the cry for help that it was, people just took to mocking the superficiality and subpar lyricism of it. I don't know how someone could listen to that record without getting chills from how obviously it is coming from a victim of abuse. I'm not saying anyone has to like the music but have a little grace for a suffering woman, goddamn.

Mmmmm that music video is going to be good, I love those interior visuals and she's so beautiful!
Which is my favorite genre

omg!! this is exciting, I wonder if it will evolve by the time we get to hear BUTTERFLY or the album

So for the recent issues some of you may be experiencing with auto-embedding pictures & links, liking posts, using the @ feature, etc -
The reason why this might not be working is because your browser is blocking “insecure content” aka things encoded with http rather than https.
While LanaBoards as a site has a SSL script, these certain features are encoded with http rather than https, which marks the site as partially insecure.
There was a recent update with Chrome that automatically blocked “insecure content” aka http features, which has prevented many users from using the site features encoded with http.
To fix this, I recommend following the instructions in this post.
 
About a year ago, I actually tried to re-encode these features with https rather than http after users voiced concern about seeing the partially insecure warning, but it ended up breaking the features for everyone, so I reverted it. At the time I reached out to both Invision Power (forum software) and my host company (SSL script provider) but unfortunately this was fruitless in solving the problem. Invision Power was helpless (their support team is the worst rip) and while my host company put in a lot of effort to help me, it still didn’t solve the issue as it does seem the issue is more on IP’s side since they provide the forum features that are then encoded.
I reached out to Invision Power again recently after everyone voiced issues about liking posts, but they haven’t been very communicative with me. Hopefully I can provide a permanent solution for everyone soon, but for now the best fix is to make sure your browser isn’t blocking “insecure content” aka http encoded features for LanaBoards. That, or using another browser that does not block this sort of content such as Firefox or Safari x
