Kim is absolutely not appropriating anyone’s culture. Do you even know what cultural appropriation means? It’s when you take/are selective of the aspects of someone’s culture that you like opposed to the rest of them which you don’t. For example, white girls wearing bindis because they like the aesthetic yet making fun of/bullying Indian women for other aspects of their culture. There are white rap artists too like Eminem and Iggy Azealea to name just two, so are they appropriating rap/hip-hop culture by making music belonging to that genre? Regardless of working with black musicians/producers. As a white person if I make a hip hop style or inspired beat all by myself and decide to rap over it in my bedroom because I really love rap and it’s my aspiration to become a rap or hip hop artist, does that mean I’m appropriating culture? Get a life. Also, people like Gwen Stefani have taken aspects of reggae and ska music and infused it into their own because of their love and appreciation for it. We can’t label a certain genre of music as only appropriate for people of certain skin colours to make or see it as only okay or acceptable if they make this music with black people. That’s actually a worse mentality to have if you ask me. Don’t restrict anyone’s creativity and let them be inspired by and pay tribute to what they want.

Calm down nobody owns a genre

What really upsets me about Sky is that she could be putting out a lot more music if she truly wanted to. She claims she doesn’t have support from her label constantly and mostly blames it on them, well look at people like Charli XCX who has stated a numerous amount of times that the delay of her 3rd album is all her labels doing as they don’t think there’s enough hype around her to drop an LP, regarding all the statistics and market research etc. HOWEVER, she doesn’t just leave her fans with nothing but empty promises and 3 second Instagram snippets of potential bangers (talking about Sky), she makes sure to record and drop an EP, 2 full length mixtapes, and about 5 singles since its release. The mixtapes which she herself tweeted and confirmed are clearly her follow up albums but disguised as “mixtapes” so her label doesn’t bother her or stop her from releasing anything. THAT BEING SAID, I do realise they’re different people and have different contracts and blah blah blah, but I truly think she is not pushing it or making things happen because SHE DOESNT WANT TO. Maybe she will deliver in the next few months, I hope to God she does because she’s my favourite artist of all time, but we’ve been let down too many times and the false hope we’re always given is absolutely disrespectful for fans who’ve stuck with you since 2010 and all you’ve released is literally 1 album in that time (disregarding EPs and singles and collabs here). I remember in like 2016 she posts an IG photo of the NTMT music video with a caption like “next week we’ll be starting where we left off” or something very similar, and I was so stupidly happy thinking she was confirming next week you’ll have the first single WHICH IS WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE AND LOOKED LIKE AND SMELT LIKE AND FELT LIKE AND TASTED LIKE...BUT IT WAS A LIE. I’m sorry. Also, it doesn’t take somebody 4/5 years to make a second album, I don’t care what their creative process is it absolutely doesn’t take that long, and if she claims it does then that means she’s clearly not a very good artist because how can it be that hard to come up with 10 or 10 songs. Jesus you think she’d be making the Sagrada Familia of albums for the length its took. Also the difference between other artists who’ve had large gaps between albums (Marina, Vamprie Weekend, etc.) is that it’s not their second album!!! It’s like their third or fourth or fifth...

1 2 3 dayz up is a bop but I kinda wish the instrumental during the verses slapped just a little harder, its probably because I’m just used to replaying the live recordings fnsngndn

1,2,3 Dayz up is clearly the standout of this EP, it is a MAJOR BOP. I absolutely love the instrumental and vocal production, the bridge is amazing and really breaks the song up and elevates it, especially when it builds back up to jump into the chorus again. I love Homework, think the Lil Aaron feature fits really nicely, its a beautiful song with those 2000s vibes. If U Think About me is OKAY, it's not very memorable and it's too similar to CDB and Dark Part of Your Heart (which is better than both IUTAM and CDB). I think she just wanted to get it out there before she moves onto the album w/ new collabs regarding different producers and a shift in her sound as it definitely sounds a lot older than 1,2,3 Dayz Up. 

1, 2, 3 Dayz Up is a 10/10 BOP.
 
It’s actually... a walking anthem. That recurring percussion or synth in the chorus made each step I took feel powerful!

Yes yes and yeeees lets all give Kimmy our coin so she can keep providing for us and get all her clothes designer henny

Smh 99.9% of the questions Sky has answered on her Instagram Q&A are un music related or at least not related to her own work. She’s deliberately not answering us when we ask valid questions about what we really want to know about. Bitch I don’t care if you still haven’t got your sketcher boots fixed I wanna know if you got your wig snatcher ready...

Dont know, that wasn’t my point.

Soooo gaydies I assume we will have our freshly manicured hands on the EP by tomorrow as NZ is gonna come though by travelling through the space time continuum one day ahead and delivering early as always !

I for one can’t wait until one of you inevitably says that the original live I,2,3 Dayz was better and makes and makes an edit with a filtered instrumental of the new version with a terribly filtered acapella of the live version where she’s singing nonsense.

From what I've heard of 5 second incredibly LQ snippets I believe this could be one of Marina's best albums (though she's yet to make a bad or average album imo). I heard the 2 min leak of SEB from Discord and it sound's really good but the timing was so weird, hopefully this was just a result of the laggy stream the leaker played? I also wish that someday she'll go back to that Family Jewels sound because having listened to it a lot lately, I miss how punchy and almost political her lyrics used to be / how playful she was with her voice. 

ugh i want an album so bad

Party 4 U is her best song btw
