Pop 2 is such a monumental record it's insane. like it's THAT girl. it's her NFR, her blackout, her lemonade, her velvet rope, her THRILLER...
she was at her lowest, she was fat nasty and broke... career in shambles. xcx world shelved. i love it money had dried up. boom clap money spent on paying back SOPHIE for vroom vroom. her landlord BEATING on her door for rent. her bf had left her after she cheated on him. iggy was not calling her back for fancy 2.0. she was truly ALL ALONE. she had one chance and came on this bitch mad as HELLL. and just like that she became a critical darling made it into every end of the year best album list best new music from pitchfork rate your music had her name in BOLD it was truly a moment
edit: to put things in perspective... it's the #4 mixtape of ALL TIME on rate your music. charli the ARTIST that you are https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/mixtape/all-time/
i think leaving the "there's three" and slowly changing it to lorde was just a way to keep the suspense going as they wrote lorde...but hopefully there is a deeper meaning to it idk
