Future Jazz

for some reason I can't picture myself discovering the tracklist

what the hell does it have to do with male domination? oh so just because the Nazis suffered from extreme conditions in the Russian winter during WWII means they were guilty of no oppression? it's the same thing here. Overall male domination is not something to trust in or not to, it's a fact, just as scientific as global warming, except if you choose to dismiss social sciences, which would be a shame. Just because men have built things - and why have women not? do you really think that they could do what men did, while being dominated? and do you say all things that have been created are good? is humans putting themselves and LIFE in general in jeopardy good? the Western culture is not the ultimate stage of civilization as people in the 19th century used to think, others never were subordonate to it, and we don't even have the full consequences of it yet, though I don't doubt they are going to come within a century. sorry for going so off-topic though PS society is still dominated by men and some people are doing their best to fight that whether you want it or not

don't pretend you don't know all-pervasive male domination characterizes our societies and can be found in the type of submissiveness she shows in her songs more than in others. Such submissiveness is not a human constant, it's part of the culture and more precisely part of that vintage subculture she used in 2010. And I'm not saying Live or Die isn't good but once again, it can't be used for debunking her submissiveness I'm not asking her to be a feminist militant in any way, I'm asking for her to be considered what she is, that is to say NOT an activist, nor somebody who's politically committed, and i'm not saying that not being such a person is wrong

If the songs are submissive, they can't be 'interpreted' as submissive, they can only be viewed as such, ie there is no bias, and they were - and rightly About the empowerment thing, it's a matter of proportions. I could enumerate at least fifty songs in which she's acting submissive, to a certain degree of course, sometimes very much, sometimes less. But she never was so 'emancipated' in any song as she was submissive in others. And I don't think these songs really convey empowerment. When she played the femme fatale role she wasn't getting out of her submissive character, it's totally coherent with that wannabe fifties attitude. Come on, we know the femme fatale myth is a patriarchical construction made up so that men could fantasize over it. So if today women want to subvert it and turn it into a non-patriarchal attitude, I shouldn't have any problem with that, but Lana clearly wasn't doing that in her songs. plus "baby I can't do it alone, cause you're the one that I want", "would you kill for me? would you die for me?", "I know what you've done and I can be your alibi" yeah super empowered, much more than the man in the song. I don't see any equality in American either

I think she totally is part of the tapid liberal consensus that most American celebrities of her range share. They are liberal enough to blame Trump voters for being the underprivileged people falling for populism, not Liberal enough to bring real depth into their perspectives, or look toward places outside America or the Western world, let alone doing it in a way that wouldn't be blatantly neocolonial, giving millions to make them akin to the West but making sure people forget their donations account for 1% of their wealth, and that they support the worst corporations on a daily basis, when they're not advertizing for them. Liberal enough to 'tolerate' or include, to a certain extent, minorities in their content, but not Liberal enough to understand that they won't bring peace in Palestine. Liberal enough to leave aside antifeminist rhetoric, not Liberal enough to stop fueling institutions that are harming minorities, for instance Hillsong but that's only the visible type of ones. To say that climate change is real like 95% of people know but not to take any further action or stop flying private jets two hundred times a year. She's not the only one to do that and I don't think it would be reasonable to ask her to do otherwise, because she's just part of it all, but the media or people acting as if she was taking a stand in ANY WAY by alluding to her disliking for Trump need to stop. Plus her submissive position in her 2010 songs was not an interpretation. It was clearly there, not only in the voice, in the videos, in the overall attitude, it was in the words. It's striking when you discover new songs from that time, like Bad Boy. I'm not saying it's wrong though, it's a fact

album out for strawberry moon confirmed

nine months since she announced MAC

How can she be satisfied with this? she has disappointed me to such an extent

does it make it up for the lack of a release date or info whatsoever when MAC has been released 8.5 months ago? no

the fact that she made us wait that long from the beginning of the era to the release with the last two eras I-

I don't get why evoking something that is a fact - ie you and the underage nudes thing - gives one a low IQ but whatever

this might be partially true but there doesn’t need to be any plan... she should just release it no one’s asking for more... I don’t think she would’ve kept that joke for more than seven months just to hide that she doesn’t have a plan, especially since she’s the one who decides what plan, if she had realized she had no plan and wanted to fix that she could’ve created one months ago i just think she doesn’t give a fuck about fans

when i shazamed the HTD snippet and shazam recognized it it was the piano version we heard in October. Does that mean that she hasn't kept Jack's beats?

drink matcha tea

almost two months since Feb 22 girlies and NOTHING is forgiven nor forgotten

before we can kiss it goodbye it has to appear in our lives though

true but Lana has faded away to such an extent that Lanaboards basically is the main character now which makes the movie funnier

this era feels like a movie sometimes

did she dare use the word soon again?

Cold War teas

I got to thinking that I thought that this album was long to come

as it has been said, the difference is that the album has been done for four months and she started she era seven months ago. Actually releasing it two or three months ago would totally have made sense, considering it's done and MAC was released in September. Now we don't even know if we'll get it within the next five months, and if we don't, it'll be more than a year after. There's actually nothing, not a single thing, to be grateful for; our standards are adapted to what she always used to do, ie making an album in a year or a year and a half, then releasing it and having a coherent era. Plus we used to have leaks, cool visuals, cool interviews, interesting stuff to do in the meantime... now we don't, which doesn't help. There's only the music left but we haven't had music in three months and a half. waiting till "the top of next year" would have been waiting a bit. Now it's fucking mid-April and it's impossible that the album is coming before June, and unlikely it's coming before July-August. Now that's not just a bit. We don't wish her to flop for revenge only, we want her to flop so that she realizes that what she's doing can't be accepted, and won't be accepted

in terms of music videos she really went from Love to that................... in one year and a half

The thing with her is, she never was transparent. We've never been updated about an album during its writing process, except for things like Honeymoon's title in January 2015, but she barely ever communicated about the actual album-making. Of course it also partakes of the mystery that surrounds her. Since 2012 she's never sung a new song live, though she had recorded a lot of unheard songs when she toured in 2013, 2015, 2016. However, now, it doesn't even feel mysterious, it's just disrespectful, annoying and next to unbearable. With LFL we never had a piece of explanation about the delay either, so no explanation should be expected from her. It could be for literally any reason, except the ones that we know aren't valid: Rockwell's family and the label. LFL not being that old - though it must be remembered that it's the longest time lapse between two of her albums, ever - doesn't justify anything because the album is done

I shazamed all of the snippets again and HIAB still is on there but HTD as well, which wasn't the case before, am I right?
