ok that i completely didn't know

imo hello kitty is really good but a lot of people seem to hate it lfkljklsjklfd

It’s really different from that. Take for example Regina Spektor: basically all her songs are different stories about people that are most definitely not her. The thing is, even if she sings in first person, it’s clear the divide. Lana has gone out of her way to “live” the poor life and write about it, so much that she is now famous for those themes (only I would say). Lana dedicates entire albums to gangsters and daddies and it’s clear it’s not just a story, but a persona. Also by what you said you mean that writers can write stories about things that they have experienced, which is not even that true. Like i’m not American and I would never write a story set in the us bc I don’t know what it’s like to live there, and it would come across as not genuine and fake. The thing is this not a critique/I’m not getting mad at her. Just a statement that I thought everybody on here would’ve been on board with I don’t care if she sings about livin with a gangsta and riding motorbikes in New Jersey in 1956 while spying for the Russian government wearing an auburn wig. Just saying that when you spend records talking about it and your life is so clearly detached from it it’s interesting to talk about it. But it’s clear you can’t raise points on ethics/morals here lmao

She’s a rich white woman, she never actually experienced poverty What you’re talking about is the romanticisation of poverty which was a theme throughout her career. She has never experienced that life ergo she her heart cannot speak to it It’s all fake. When Lana talks about the 50s, it’s fake. When Lana talks about daddies, it’s fake. When Lana talks about gangsters, if’s fake. Lana is fake, to a certain degree, because the name itself is a persona. And that’s largely why she was interesting in the beginning

If BIOYL becomes a hit I’ll swear until death that Love + Fear is Marinas best work

How To Disappear is cute, but if all the songs on the album are gonna be piano ballads it’s a no Also it kinda has the same structure as Hope which, not necessarily bad, but it could use a bit of color/ character

Friendly reminder that Focus/No Angel is her strongest single despite not being a single

So Azerbaijan is obviously the best candidate? Yeah I’m just saying it bc he’s hot Anyway the Italian candidate is actually gay so y’all can lowkey stan him

Tbh yes, a lot. Marina herself promoted LFL before it came out. Idk why

no he's 100% right you can't use your phone while driving for obvious reasons it's like if she made a video throwing plastic in the ocean like wtf? no the world is not "boring" because people demand safety for fuck's sake

I could deadass send you a cd rip and you wouldn’t hear the difference The vinyl is meant to be played live, if you have to record it you’re better off downloading a flac online

yeah the bridge is terrible and anti-climatic but the chorus is ugly too imo... like, those vocalisations? as a whole the verses/bridges/choruses don't flow into each other, and the trap beat don't help soft to be strong outsold her

So do we agree that EM chorus is like nails on a chalkboard?

She’s way more engaged in making sure she responds to every twitter drama than in recording a meaningful record Also how can you complain about being “spited” when it’s clear you put no effort in the lyricism/melodies/instrumentals?

Saying something about her album at all... what a SERVE

Wait Selena is releasing??

FJKSKSKSJSJSJSJS I FUCKING CANT I ALMOST SCREAMED IN PUBLIC WHAT THE FUCK

Honestly a 50 tracks album is so fucking dispersive... like Sufjan Stevens can’t get away with making a 22 tracks and he’s gay and Charli may be powerful but not gay powerful... Like the best option would be a 2 part album with 12-13 songs each, maybe one more upbeat and party-ish and the other sadder and more introspective, like the two halves of XCXWORLD Imagine the power that would have... like coming for AOTY

The narrative that making “quality” music is exhausting while making easy, chill music is way simpler is kinda meh... I mean let’s look at Pop 2: I don’t think Charli was exhausted a bit, yet she came up with one of the best pop records of the decade. Like it’s not harder on your mind to make music that sticks, at best it’s more time consuming, but it’s not harder per se

i genuinely think it's interesting? as in i will be listening to it and buy the vinyl if it's good enough????

yeah i found it on yt for some reason it wasn't showing up on deezer? anyway it's really cute!!! lizzo's verse is cute too i just wish they cut the drop cause its ugly and put the "sorry if i blame it on..." instead like in track 10 but whatevs still cute

I LOVE IT COME THROUGH FELONIE RAPINEZ

where can i find it/listen to it? lit rally can't find it anywhere madness luv

I actually hate this omg we don’t even know when it’s coming? Like she really doesn’t need a worldwide release

Since charli has clearly scrapped her fifth lead single can we talk about this I Love It demo that sounds bomb af? https://mobile.twitter.com/bodyofmyown/status/1119677239065444356
