Venice Jesus Whore

It’s really sad and disturbing to me how everything has gone full circle and a lot of the general public is just back to making fun of Britney again. In 2021 at the height of #FreeBritney, people acted like they had learned so much since the 2000s about treating women fairly, understanding mental health, etc., and as soon as Britney’s out of the conservatorship and not acting how people expect her to, now she’s just become the punchline of a joke again. It’s disgusting. Though she’s done so much for me and so many others out there, I can’t help but think that she would’ve led a much happier life never being famous.

previously she said 70 songs but this one she says 20-25 songs finished for the album bonus: her nephew is very against cameras in his face and doesnt tell anyone that Kesha is his auntie paraphrase: "if you dont let the past be the past while youre in the present, it's gonna affect the future by not being currently present" "who i was is dead" "who i am and who i will be is ever evolving" the first people she played the album for were the boys in the Foo Fighters (but not the full album, played a snippet of Eat the Acid) Rick Rubin said they're "not gonna put this out til its done, and we're not gonna put it out until its great" didnt get (any) outside opinions for the album, small team of people working on the album Question: "Is Kesha happy?" Answer: "i feel free, Getting all of these emotions off of my chest, this year is a big year" "sometimes im so fucking happy, sometimes i get anxious, sometimes i get insecure" "i feel whole, deeply satisfied and grateful"  "once i make it [the album] its for me, once i put it out, its for everybody else and i hope people hear the emotional rollercoaster"

I think it does, especially that in the MV she's shown wearing pearls and diamonds necklaces, that she refers as "candy', diamonds and pearl represent the money, fame and stardom in particular during Monroe era. She doesn't care about that fame anymore it's futile to her, she's oppressed by it (White noise coming out of my brain) Just like in 13 beaches she personifies fame as a lover (Sittin' on the sofa, feelin' super suicidal Hate to say the word, but, baby, hand on the Bible I do Feel like it's you, the one who's bringing me down Thought that we were cool and we were kickin' it like Tribe Called Quest You the best, but, baby, you've been bringing me down I can see it now ) What she was once obsessed with (BTD era, hence the hairstyle reference) is now something killing her. 
 
Yes, it's not the only reference but a main inspiration I think, throughout the album, it's a retrospective on her carrer, this tunnel under ocean blvd. All the tracks discuss this internal dialogue. She's questioning what's important to her, should she continue down that road (fame and stardom) ? What's her legacy ? Does she need to concentrate on more important things ? (family, god)... Referencing old Hollywood stardom is not new to her but this time she's putting it into perspective (hence showing the BTS), it's not that glamorous to her anymore (that's why I'm not surprised by the MV as it pretty much reflects perfectly the themes she put out on the record.)

I just gasped opening YouTube and seeing that the video is out and it's 11 minutes long. I was NOT expecting this.

idk if i really like the final result but the concept does appeal to a thought i often have about how many different lives i could've lived if i made different decisions and also wishing i could just try on different lifestyles, personas, etc. and be a completely different person for a day.
though i think her intention was more to show the ways women have had to change themselves to gain their success and fame.

I guess now I understand why she said in the visualizer "In case they said I never did anything, I did... I stood here and I sang it". She knew what reaction we'd have with the concept of the video, didn't she?

Lana has missed out on the 5 cents I would’ve made her for streaming Yes to Heaven like 10 times over the last 24 hours. For some reason it’s just vibing with me hard rn.

thinking about how risky and bold it was that Lana released West Coast as the first single after the BTD/Paradise/Y&B era. A complete change up in sound and a tempo change with the chorus becoming slower than the verses… and somehow it all works insanely well. That’s how I knew she wasn’t a one trick pony. It takes a serious artist to pull that off.
