lonely lonely night

it's a grower for sure, i was really disappointed at first and there's some messy moments lyrically/melodically but after a few listens and some adjusted expectations i love it. i'm relieved i came around because i've been hoping for a 2009/2010 electropop myspace demos album from her for years and i needed this to round out my holy trinity of true romance and number 1 angel. the lack of features is great. i think my main issue was with the sequencing, it was very jarring but i moved a few songs around and it's a much more cohesive listen

"i don't wanna share the space, i don't wanna force a smile, if some girl taps my insecurities, don't know if it's real or if i'm spiralling" "i can feel the flames on my skin, crimson red paint on my lips, if a man talks shit then i owe him nothing, i don't regret it one bit cause he had it coming" not identical obviously but very similar (not the lyrics the delivery)

lowkey copying i did something bad on sympathy is a knife to purposely ragebait the swifties for publicity oh charlize the genius that you are

omg u are right why didn't i think of this, i forgot these are the only 2 options

these snippet lyrics are absolutely not giving

off topic but i'm still miffed she didn't seize the opportunity to name her third album xcx3 ... made so much sense coming off the back of number 1 angel and pop 2, the term xcx3 had been used for years because there had been so much discussion and controversy around it, i feel like it would have been the gag

the google pixel sponsorship girl if you don't pick a fucking android and stick to it

does charli not already have writing credits on any britney songs i swear she had like 1 or 2??

you wanna guess the color of my underwear you wanna know what i got going on down there is it pretty in pink or all see through? is it showing off my brand new lower back tattoo? you wanna put em in your mouth, pull em all down south you wanna turn this shit out, that's what i'm talkin about put em in your mouth, pull em all down south you wanna turn this shit out, that's what i'm talkin about try it, buy it, lick it, spin it pull it to the side and get all up in it wear em, post em, might be mixin send it to the dare, yeah i think he's with it try it, buy it, lick it, spin it pull it to the side and get all up in it wear em, post em, might be mixin send it to the dare, yeah i think he's with it

charli: this album is gossippy charliboards: can you guys stop being so fucking gossippy

lorde has always seemed lowkey miserable to me, she comes across as entitled and bitter and resentful. i don't know the woman so obviously i have no idea but her mannerisms remind me of friends i have personally had that i felt like i had to walk on eggshells around so i don't find it surprising at all that girl so confusing would be about her lol also i forgot/didn't realize that 360 is the opener for brat, kind of bummed to get it as a single. i always prefer to listen to opening and closing tracks within the context of the full album for the first time

crash is a very important album in her discography but it's not one that will define her career. charli projects generally fall under one of two categories for me, strategic (sucker, n1a, self titled, hifn lol sorry, crash) or innovative (true romance, vroom vroom, xcx world, pop 2, brat). she's smart enough to know when to do what and she always knows how to make the right compromises without sacrificing her artistry. she just gets it like the strategic projects are still great and the innovative projects aren't irresponsible. the groundbreaking albums will always be the ones that result in more critical acclaim and contribute to her overall legacy but she's got the business acumen to understand the value in releasing less boundary pushing ones as well. she knows it too, "cult classic but i still pop." i could write a thesis about this she does make weird choices and mistakes but overall she is a literal mastermind who has outpaced the industry for so long and if she hadn't learned to play the game by now she'd have been stuck in label hell for the past decade basically

kind of gagged this is some of her best work in a very very long time

this is funny to me because who will be the closer. i don't want to assume it would be charli just because she is the better performer, troye is the more popular artist. but i really can't see charli not being the headliner, i think she would sooner just play smaller venues than ever open for anybody ever again so maybe they will take turns? lol

what is more than 5 is that like 6

the way the tickets for her other tour literally just went on sale a week ago

quite sad to watch her tarnish her own legacy and squander any goodwill she built with fans with all these messy shows. she should really throw in the towel i think, i doubt she even wants to be on stage at this point and it seems like she's just taking advantage of peoples time and loyalty because she probably needs the money. i do think she has a narcissistic attachment to being this suffering artist, it seems like it's probably easier for her to believe that things are not within her capacity to control rather than accept that she continues to make things worse for herself

choreo is just not at all the vibe for this album but it was great during crash. she really gave popstar and i loved it

it's not worse

the joint slay of true romance number 1 angel and brat

calling june 21st release
