yeah that’s what I meant, she definitely can pull off piano songs (again I LOVE Cherry Blossom and Fine China) but lately it’s been way too manh like if COCC was a folk song on guitar in Sirens style it would be miles better imo

she’s always been a huge Britney fan, I remember reading that during TFJ she wanted to be the Britney of alt pop

I don't know if it's just me, but lately I've been kinda let down by Lana's production? More specifically, how some songs are just piano chords and her Now don't get me wrong I love the piano (hell I play it lol) but I feel like Lana's lyrics and voice shine best either with a more orchestral production (Honeymoon, Born To Die) or with a jazzy, psychedelic one (Ultraviolence) Now I do believe in some songs the piano is really effective at conveying a certain atmosphere (with hope is a dangerous thing or Cherry Blossom), but I can't help thinking that a rich sound like in Salvatore, Venice Bitch, West Coast, BB, SoC, Blue Velvet, etc... would really turn the songs around Thoughts?

yeah i agree she should've added melody variations to give every stanza its personality and not have it all repeat these last 3 singles have been very repetitive (not in a bad way, but they are)

I honestly just wish that they released some sort of posthumous album/collection to honor her career cause it’s weird that most of her discography is unreleased/only played live They usually do these when great artists die (they did it with Amy, Michael, etc) but IDK who’s in charge for that

what's wrong with Hungary honey :/ the location was beautiful the problem was that the project as a whole was too much for her to handle, not that the shooting took place in Hungary lol i don't get this

i mean i guess realistically people have it since they have all these songs we've never heard of but we probably won't know when it leaks until it does

so Half Hearted Studio does not exist?

Anyway Melanie should do a folk album in the style of her first songs and it will be critically acclaimed and she will be compared to Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks

thanks!! well that sounds... weird? like I think it’s cute but I can see how it could lead to fights etc anyway paying for m&gs isn’t the worst thing ever if she doesn’t charge a lot it can be cool what I don’t like is the fact that the l+f tour m&g were basicallt just early entries and she didn’t show up, so you basically paid 100 $ for nothing

how was froot’s m&g system?

remember when during L+F tour she had a paid M&G except you couldn't see her she literally charged people to have an early entry to the merch shop

I kept spamming her about INHA but she either didn't see it or didn't respond ugh

She said she would love to do a deluxe version but the way she said it was like "Im not gonna do it lol" like it had the same vibe as the FROOT repackage She said Happy Loner didn't feel right on the album but maybe in the future (same as INHA...)

GIRL..........d not get m started to think that she still had TR and Sucker on vinyl on her shop in 2019...................

the title sounds amazing too.. whew

im hoping for a ballad now that we know old marina is kinda back cause when she does ballads..

NOW THIS....... this is giving me 2007 Marina, this is giving me give me the money, it's giving quirky, it's giving EVERYTHING im starting to think she came up with this whole ancient dreams mess after man's world tho cause the sound and visuals are completely off but i kinda prefer this 80s weird vibe EDIT: I know she wrote Man's World a year ago and it was supposed to be released in april 2020 but what I'm saying is when she released it in November she had not thought of this concept cause

That's true and I do think the 4 year gap had to do with it but let's not forget that 1) K-12 had no promo before whatsoever, not even a single 2) the Timothy Heller scandal took a huge toll on her fanbase cause a lot of people believed the accusations for years (I think she even sided with Globelamp at one point?) 3) covid 6 months later ended the era Plus K-12 was not up to par to CB so that's also partly why The bottom line is, us "stans" are not her biggest demographic in terms of how successful she is and the gp does not need leaks to keep going every now and then, so acting like leaks are good because they keep the "fandom" going is false

I'm talking about the general public I know plenty of people who listen casually to Mel, went to her concerts and to her M&G as far as last year when she had her K-12 tour They don't need tons of leaks to keep listening to her, in fact most of them aren't even aware of them They saved WHO honey? Certainly not the millions of people who listen to Melanie Yall are NOT Melanie's (or any other artist's) biggest fanbase, it's the general public, so no, Melanie would be fine if nothing leaked cause it's not you putting food on her table or money in her bank account, it's the hordes of straight girls who don't know the lyrics of half her songs and still pay concert tickets and buy merch Some people on this thread have a god complex I swear

You literally said "Well maybe she should've never mentioned names on tumblr talking about scrapped album titles and facebook, raving about "So many songs to share with you guys like.." Teasing fans and never actually putting them out" You're implying she deserved to get hacked and leaked cause she "teased" us... when most songs that leaked were not even teased?? Yall are crazy and out of your mind

"Well she was wearing a skirt she was asking for it" this is literally how yall sound nobody is telling yall not to listen to the leaks just don't act morally superior?????

Except normal people don’t have the attention span of a door knob and can actually wait a few years and respect and artist’s boundaries I’m happy for the leaks as much as the next person but acting like she has no right to feel bad about it and those are the only thing keeping the fandom together is a HUGE lie, the GP is not as greedy as y’all stans cause they have lives outside of obsessing over a singer

She does sound like Allie when she goes up I don’t know how to explain it... like when she gets to a higher note it sounds like Allie
