not the blur ijbol rivalry still going strong i fear

to be completely honest i thought it sounded like ava max she looks good tho it's the first time i'm seeing her explore this very sexy visual concept, i like it

i don't get the melanie allegations tbh didn't thought it sounded like anything by her. and let's be real, melanie built her career around marina and not the other way round let's make that very clear

is addison even latina? 😭 azealia just saying whatever at this point

he was teasing 13 beaches lyrics lol #SR stands for something real, which i believe was still the name of the track at that time

prophetic visions

proud to be a weeds and gold lover since the start! the only song i didn't like as much was forget but i eventually warmed up to it. i remember when the album leaked ahead of release… fun times lol that part probably wasn't fun for marina as it almost derailed the whole era but i had the greatest time

she saw this cover and had to remind everyone who mother is

i think marina definitely has (had?) talent, she has a beautiful voice, but she lacks drive. it's clear to me that she resorts to making music as a source of income, so therefore she cannot give up on it, at least not yet. but i truly believe she wanted to retire from music after froot, which she did to some extent by retiring her old moniker. perhaps maybe it wasn't just the name that needed to be retired… i'm sure if she had rihanna levels of fame she'd definitely be on the same path. another thing to consider is that the golden age of marina was a product of the context she was inserted. tfj couldn't exist in a world without lily allen, florence + the machine, foster the people or whatever was big in the uk alt scene at that time. similarly, electra heart couldn't exist without the edm mainstream pop scene of katy perry, lady gaga, kesha and so on… they were great because it was the right sound at the right time. trying to recreate that magic in a different context just doesn't work as much and the results end up being lackluster to say the least. froot, to me, is her best album because it's her most timeless record, it doesn't feel like it's attached to a specific era of pop music and it takes things that were great in the previous two albums while making a new thing as well. if i was her, that's the direction i'd follow. unfortunately she seems to be stuck in trying to replicate the aura of a marina that's long gone, which i'd say is the fans' fault to some degree… anyway i've rambled too much sorry for the essay

no shade to sabrina or charli, i love them and i think they're both incredibly talented ladies, but i think it's incredibly funny that both of their fans seem to turn a blind eye towards the fact that their current success is incredibly manufactured. there is not a single organic thing about the success of brat and short n sweet. people keep pushing this narrative that they're fighters and survivors that finally made it and no babes… this is what happens when you have a huge record label backing you up. all of this success is the result of a huge money machine behind the scenes. this very same thing happened with camila cabello and dua lipa back then and trust me, their aftermath will be the same for charli and sabrina. so, to all stans out there, enjoy it while it lasts, because their time is almost up. soon the industry will find other people to be their flavor of the month and then we'll really see how well they perform without training wheels

so in conclusion… no video for leash and definitely back to square one regarding masochism, yay (not that i expected any of those things anyway i can take a hint after a decade)

she's lip syncing tho

i'm pretty sure TOTL video was for tell me it's a nightmare since we had this thing for CR fashion book (sorry couldn't find it without subtitles) https://twitter.com/kpbrmidias/status/1443378221521817601
