The streets (ATRL) was saying they were gonna unveil the tracklist when we get My Forever so I’m assuming tomorrow… but tbh I want it to be a surprise

i hate that she always has to put the entire tracklist of her latest album as the setlist. like when she did it for crash i was so mad... how is the setlist gonna be half skips? girl...

I don’t think she would ever release something like that unless it were on a vinyl. But even then idk I remember her celebrating the 5th anniversary on her website with a new merch drop (which I bought even though it was atrocious and didn’t really have anything to do with the album…) so I can imagine she would do something for it? At the end of the day it’s what cemented her as a critical darling and actual artist, it has to mean something!! IMO

She’s so boring. Can’t believe how stalled she is artistically

Can we expect something for the 10th anniversary of EMOTION? With all the songs she wrote I feel like she could release a side C or something like that

the single cover should have been the album cover tbh...

any ideas on what the mysterious lock means?

The average person is way dumber than we realize and that level of fame is extremely unrealistic. Ethel is a trans woman who makes concept albums about the daughter of a preacher who gets cannibilized I think she’s as famous as she will ever get and it’s a level of fame that allows her to do anything she wants so I don’t think even she wants more

tbf Ethel has already blown up big time. Within one year of her debut album (prior to which she was basically unknown) she went on tour with Florence Welch, Caroline Polacheck and Boygenius on top of basically becoming a model for Miu Miu. She’s already huge as far as I’m concerned considering how niche her music actually is. Chappell’s fame will obviously subsidize in the future like it did for ice spice

what did she say?

many more people (including me) recognize the decline in quality so where do we go from there… and I’m not equating her talent with Joe but their relationship definitely greatly benefitted Taylor’s artistry and inspired her in more ways than one. Then she left him and produced her worst Taylor’s versions (1989 and SN) and then come out with a very weak album (TTPD). If one plus one is two… fearless self titled and TTPD are all sonically and lyrically weaker. Rep is not as bad as people make it out to be IMHO and contains some pretty strong songs (New Years Day being one of them)

I am fully choosing to accept the idea that her music was so good from 2017 to 2020 because she was with Joe Alwyn. There has to be a reason for the extremely sharp decline in the quality of her visuals and lyricism after Joe (TTPD). Like that is crazy. Girl wrote False God for Joe and then So high school for Travis… embarrassing

out of tune means the notes do not follow standard 12-ET tuning and that is quite literally false. i played along to it on my piano and you can tell the notes are exactly the same. you must be seriously tone deaf (not an insult just an observation) to think otherwise. something being out of tune or not is not a matter of opinion but an objective reality. it's not up for debate or something that you "feel".

well its a good thing youre not a musician then

you said it was out of tune when it’s not. It’s like saying the sky is green. I’m just saying reflect on why felt like saying something objectively false! Sometimes exploring why we feel a certain why about something (especially when what we feel doesn’t really correspond to the truth) can tell us a lot about ourselves

it's objectively not out of tune though... don't know what definition you're going by. and as for the repetitive... verse chorus and bridge have different chord progressions and melodies. it's as "repetitive" as every song whose verse is different from the chorus. it just seems like you don't like the song and are grasping at straws trying to justify it... you can just say its annoying and let it be that

the song is about being in a car “got my foot on the gas” “swerving on them” and the outro sounds like a car engine running/tires screeching. It’s obviously a stretch especially considering how old burn rubber is and how it probably wouldn’t fit sonically…

wait... that actually sounds plausible..

Wait is 16 or 18 tracks ? and I genuinely hope for a charli feature SOMEWHERE

Katy Perry is the most offensive display of no artistic sensibilities we have seen in a very long time. Her bad taste is not clumsy but evil. Genuinely beyond me how anyone can listen to her music or even appreciate her artistry

its so funny that because of last.fm's AWFUL tagging feature it appears as if NO ONE is listening to Pop 2

tbh if they managed to keep it a secret for this long i'm okay with it never leaking until the day its released or something like that. like i wanted in june... now im okay with it being a surprise

I mean record fuzz doesn’t sound bad..

I wish we had gotten the “real” Sucker and not what’s basically a way to neatly package her various hits of 2014-2015. A funny, light hearted take on Brit rock would have been so cool

Sophie releasing an album on her own terms and being praised for it is actually a much better outcome than a 5 year old posthumous album being released and being essentially welcomed with silence lol i wish we had gotten that draft (which is basically what we’ll be getting now anyway)
