  1. sum serious talk...

     

    don't you think all this baby thing sounds so rushed? like, she was all flat-tummy until like yesterday when she posted the first photo where she looked 3 months pregnant... and today she posts the second one where she looks 5 months in... 

     

    couldn't it be all just for sum album promo? weeks from now she could be all like "the ecography confirmed us it's a girl! thinking about naming her... little miss antropocene" 


  2. since downhill lullaby - when she stated that most of the album was already finished - she has spent 9 months!! nine! just to tweet that she has finished the next two singles. okay thats GREAT but what about the rest of the album? is she implying that she needs approximately 4 months to render just one song?

     

    i mean im just........... effing tired!!!!! 


  3. fire drill is not that good tho i can see why it was scrapped

    i take it back lol i have listened it for the second time and it actually slaps


  4. interesting that she said FIILY is her most "dishonest" song... she really is playing into California being the best place on earth trope since she calls it perfect, hm... im genuinely curious if the toxic plastic-y passive LA culture doesn't get to her? (I know she's constantly on the road, maybe thats how she gets away from it)

     

    Edit: corrected to FIILY

     

    dont wanna sound dumb but... which song is FIILY?

    okay nvm Fuck it I love you  :toofloppy:


  5. + BUT!!! sorry i forgot to say that I actually enjoyed the drift to a more french marie antioniette style. Hope her next project, if she plans to continue with her Crybaby misfortunes, goes in that direction


  6. that movie was baddddddddd 

     

    the production value? I can appreciate it, but watching it was honestly cringy. Its not well made, the storyline lacks coherence, its not that well written or directed and its more of an ensamble of correlated music videos that an actual movie. And half of the music videos are not that impressive. 

     

    The album itself isn't worthy as much as crybaby. Her first album had an actual emotional connection with its theme: Crybaby as in someone who can't stop crying, who cries a lot, someone lost and helpless in their emotions. It can be read as weird but it has an actual meaning: it questions traditional family values through old fashioned items and ¿classic? americana aesthetics. Nowadays it may sound outdated, but for the year it was released it was pretty cool. It actually reminded me a lot of Marina and the Diamonds' Electraheart. 

     

    But K-12.... its just a reach. The aesthethic is only relevant for its relationship with the first album. Yes, its supposed to be a critique of society and power dynamics through the child's perception of the school. But it doesn't go further than that, and it ends up feeling cheapy and weird, in a bad way. It feels as an album from someone obsessed with childish-like themes, furniture and clothing (and I mean... not that far from reality). Its cringe-worthy. 

     

    I feel bad for Melanie because she put a lof of effort into this project, and the reason for the delay it's surely not the production's fault but for the financing process. Melanie is not beyonce and a film is not easy nor cheap to make. She must have been trough hell trying to accomplish k-12, I can assure you that. But... its just not good.
