A gay artist being... gay? Shocker. 

A gay artist being... gay? Shocker. 

This one is really interesting because Electric was teased as a potential album title by insiders about a year ago.

what just leaked 
 
 

Future Queen of Pop made some points:
 
On a serious note... I disagree with people who say singers who don't write (all of) their own music are less of an artist than, say, Taylor Swift who I personally think is very overrated as a writer, but that's a different discussion. Art comes in many forms and shapes, and in my opinion, someone like Beyoncé curating an album out of all the songs her A&R presents to her, recording her flawless vocals that are leagues above any of those songwriters, and ultimately creating one cohesive body of work out of them that really can be admired and enjoyed as one big whole rather than just a collection of songs – I don't think there's anything wrong with that? In fact, I would argue that no other artist out there would be capable of making Renaissance. And yet, when Renaissance came out, people ridiculed Bey for crediting every co-songwriter, every sample, every voice memo that she used on it, which obviously led to dozens of different writers in the credits. (Not gonna comment on the earlier Beyoncé cases because I honestly don't know enough about them.)
 
This being said, I do hate it when artists contribute very little or only change a few words and still act like they wrote the whole thing. I don't get where this obsession with artists having to write everything themselves comes from? I mean, did the fact that she didn't write her own music make Whitney Houston any less of a legend? No! Similarly (because he's an artist I know a lot about and thus can actually comment on), Troye Sivan was very open about the fact that Rush was presented to him in almost finished form and he then only re-wrote the verses and the bridge, and yet his performance made that song 100 % his own.
 
If we're gonna expect every artist to be a prolific solo writer, an amazing vocalist and a competent live performer, then I'm afraid there's not gonna be any artists left that actually fit that criteria.

Hometown
Your Turn To Cry / Left My Body
James hype collab
Thousand Pieces (German Version)
City Girls collab
possibly even Reason Why 
 
 
come on queen gearing up for this droplet era

A gay artist being... gay? Shocker. 

Hearing it without the sample, I can now understand why he added it in the first place. There's just something missing from the song without it. But I'm happy that you guys who couldn't get into it now have a version you can enjoy. 
 
In other news: AAAAAAAAAAAAA
 

Our generation used to bottom to Bloom... *sigh*

Tracklist + new song teaser:
 

Omg I love this version too. This is soooo amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it 

There were a lot of... choices regarding X. Cherry Bomb is literally one of the best songs from the era and somehow ended up only being a B-side. 
 
I'm not mad that Kylie didn't record Excuse My French though, because that way another singer called Charlee got her hands on it and her version is lowkey superior. 

love ya leave ya transitioning into je t'adore with crossfade >>>
 
y'all should try it 

Will post in HQ when I am back to my desktop pc. I also have another RS pic in this style. 
 
Dreams is my favorite from Impossible Princess, too. 
 
The artworks of this era ❤️ wasn't in love that much with her visuals since Body Language Era. So 20 years exactly, lol. 
 

 
The signed Litho is not of great quality however regarding the photo. Pixels, Pixels.. . Looks like a video screen shot actually. 



 

Start with her 2019 best-of album, Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection (make sure it's the expanded version), it includes songs from all of her albums as well as standalone singles (e.g. Timebomb) and non-album collabs (e.g. Where The Wild Roses Grow). That way, you'll find out pretty easily which songs of hers are your favourites, and then you can decide which full albums to start with.
 
As far as essential songs go (that aren't already part of Step Back In Time), here's my pick:

her newer music seems more polished and palatable.
 
My fav kylie song is I Don't Need Anyone from Impossible Princess in the 90s. She was having a shoegaze house era if that makes sense....
 
But i'd def start with this newest record, or Fever.
 
Maybe Golden & Disco after that.

Oh also, while we're trashing discussing Taylor Swift and her songwriting, let me just mention that this woman has some nerve demanding royalties for that one Olivia Rodrigo song when a few years earlier she herself copied a whole ass chorus from Lana without giving her any credit and used it on one of the most succe$$ful songs of her career.

He's got the pussynality not even gravity could ever hold him down...
 

Oh no, the sexiness police are here.

The thing that really bothers me about Taylor's writing is that she pretends her songs are super meaningful when in reality she's just saying shit and writes entire songs around a single word / quote she finds cool... some people may enjoy that but I find it extremely annoying. Not to mention the constant Lana plagiarism that she passes off as inspiration.
I've had this discussion sooo many times where people would be like "oh yeah? then explain this [random song from Folklore]" and it's still the most generic thing I've ever read. Just hearing some of the lyrics of Midnights songs from when they're on the radio make me wanna kill myself because they're SOOO CRINGE (Anti-Hero and Karma looking @ u) Anyways... i'm just rambling at this point. But she's def one of the most medicore singers and lyricists of our time and all this random praise for her is bandwagon & ill die on that hill...
 

Nice words, beautiful words. Maybe next time she could try coming up with a memorable melody.
