Lana Del Rey claims that she wrote Yayo, but this is a complete lie because demos written by Lizzy Grant already existed since 2007. 

Yeah I didn't mean Britney Jean like the user implied. Also Britney has no fault of what it's done to her career.
 
 
AND producer 
 

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. 

Also not completely the same but it annoys me so much when singers like Ariana will partially write the lyrics to an already complete song, or change some lyrics to a demo, and claim they wrote it. 
 
Like anyone could do that I fear? It’s not really a feat, but twitter stans will obsess over it. 
 
Side note but in recent years, Bey has been pretty great at crediting (hence why she has dozens of writers on each song) so I’m not mad about her earlier mishaps..

i'm just gonna leave this message from the GOAT whitney here:

lyrics without a voice singing them are worthless. there's a reason why we hear about beyoncé, rihanna and ariana grande and not about rich harrison, ester dean or tommy brown. there's a reason why lana has this very website dedicated to her and we're not on rickboards, jackboards or emileboards. bc she's the star, not them. and so is beyoncé, rihanna, ariana, etc. there's so much more to being a star than songwriting, and that's where the REAL talent lies. a song is nothing without an entrepreneur to do it justice. star quality babes, something no songwriting skills can buy. and, of course, VOCAL talent which is, essentially, what being a singer is. i rest my case 

mariah not only has the flex of having the most #1 hits out of any artist (19 hits), but also being the writer of all of those 
and on top of being an excellent songwriter she is also one of the greatest vocalists of all time
i can’t imagine having that much talent 

Ava is now the one raw dogging Dr Luke for her next album

we need her demo of this (even though her vocals are all over here)

i'm putting it in the trashbin but between the two options problematique unfortunately... this is her blame it on your love to her xcx world

TMLAH should've been saved for an especial edition of slutpop It feels so out of place on problématique (for me) 

both bait and valhala sound like they were meant for banks’ album instead of feed the beast  kim has like 20 seconds in both

sky after she finished it in 2016 and sang it twice live

I'm so glad to exist in the same universe as Problématique (JE T'ADORE ALWAYS A BOP)

you make me wanna m o o o v e !
you make me wanna d o o o the things that looooooovers do!

Honestly with the official release of Problématique I just revisited her catalog and she has so much potential (Era 1, etc.)

i love that we live in a time where releasing leaked content is now profitable enough: say yes to heaven, AR, problematique, 2023 the year of the unreleased 

I love the cover, it's gorgeous.It feels sooooo validating that these songs are finally being released, and probably like a massive weight off Kim's shoulders. I hope this means her and Aaron can make up in some way, they really worked so well together.

Imagine if Problematique actually does really well like better then FTB and they delay the tour and rebrand it for Problematique and create a billion vinyls, make MVs and have a actual promotion for it and get a deluxe with keep it and throw FTB in the dumpster
EVERYONE BETTER STREAM FOR THESE WISHES

whats up wit the sex talk hate, its such a fun song and sounds like a cute era 1 or clarity outtake that fits nicely in Problematique
 

Just listened to Problématique with the new tracklist and honestly, I really like this tracklist, it flows very well. I do think HIFTB and Revelations should've been on it instead of on FTB though. HIFTB felt like such an integral part of the album and Revelations is one of the best songs from those sessions. I guess Revelations does fit the more punchy sound of FTB better than the softer sound of Probématique (even though FTB sounds like a playlist instead of an album skk). Sex Talk and Coconuts not being on it makes the album better tbh, 2 flop songs that brought down the overall quality idc idc. Weird that Future Starts Now isn't on it but I never really cared for that song either so whatever. Treat Me Like a Ho should've gotten the BOOT, kinda a stain on the tracklist (I do like the beat though definitely I thought it was fun). Your Time to Cry should've been on it instead, but I saw smthn about how that song got sold so I guess that wasn't an option. Dance to Forget and Left My Body are cute for the sessions album, they weren't really worthy of a spot on the album. Love that Love Ya Leave Ya is the closer, that song should've been on the standard tracklist from the beginning.
 
Anyways this post is long as fuck I think I'm just gonna delete Treat Me Like a Ho and put HIFTB, Revelations and YTTC in there and call it a day! A lovely 12 track album.
 

i actually tolerated coconuts on problematique

its horrible on ftb ...

Releasing a fucked up version of Problematique might be the scariest thing she’s ever done for Halloween 

The way my jaw DROPPED when she sang Nikki's verse... if you had told me she would do it better than Nikki I would've said no way but she made it sound like no one else was ever on the song. And the BREATH CONTROL!! Literally the symphonic version gives Alone the tragic desperate vibes I always loved from the chorus. It's kind of funny they sampled a 90s trance song and made it into a vaguely trap-inspired modern pop song only to then release all the remixes turning it BACK into dance music and now this symphonic version which is EASILY the furthest from the original sample turns out to be the best 
 
OK you're right (and to be honest anything could replace Sex Talk and Coconuts and sound more cohesive-- shoutout to the people putting IJWAR on FtB) but also what about Sex Talk and Try Again together? I kind of feel like Sex Talk is closer to Try Again than the rest of Problematique, and Try Again is closer to Sex Talk than the rest of FtB era. Maybe with Sex Up For Fun? Could be their own little EP.

we need her demo of this (even though her vocals are all over here)
