so von dutch is about the party incident where someone (twigs?) was shit talking Charli? ‘yeah I heard you talk about me that’s the word on the streets’

she replied on twitter: I was like 3 weeks pregnant when we filmed this and insanely sick so we didn't get a lot of the shots we wanted so I thought it was too boring to put out but it's a vibe enough - was supposed to be a pas de deux with an assault rifle. about WAP mv: that is also sitting on my hard drive - we fucked up the cgi but I think I can fix it now I just gotta finish all the new music and visuals for coachella. I want her to drop the b-sides to miss A, if they're as good as darq souls it's a crime they're just sitting on her hard drive

if she’s in her lying era and she says not to leak anything… (this is a joke, I’m joking)

cause earlier this month she posted ‘so over posting this shit’ which implies she doesn’t really want to be posting on her social media all the time. whilst I personally agree that people are usually too impatient with album rollouts this is the same snippet being posted again and again💀

I understand why she resigned with Atlantic considering they have her masters, but I was really hoping she’d gotten a better deal in regards to releasing her own music. idk why labels feel the need to make all artists fit the same type of release schedule. surely catering to a smaller but more intense fanbase would make more money than trying to appeal to the general public? it’s widely reported that TikTok hits have little to no impact on long term streaming, people just listen to the song that went viral, which is often an edit of the song anyway.

wait hold on, i reread the article: maybe I was onto something

'started releasing music in 2011'? the myspace erasure...

I thought I would wait a day or two to see if it grew on me but I don’t really like the cover I feel like the in the city single photoshoot fits the sound more.

i hope she's going to surprise drop the song and not keep teasing the same(ish) snippet for the remaining 2-3(?) weeks

february 10th at the staples centre (now crypto.com) but they only have some sports thing on that date. spring break is really early march (i think? i'm not american). I hope she’s not pulling a taylor swift with easter eggs i don’t think her fans are the type

'february 10th and I'm gonna pull up' or she's winding us up for all the leaks over the years.

I really hope whatever she’s doing to her face is clever makeup/reversible, I’m all for people making their own choices but in a few years the fox eye trend will die out and having big doll eyes with round faces will be back in. (and all those people that got buccal fat removal will be stuck wishing they had their cheeks back. as a woman I’m so fed up of plastic surgery being a ‘trend’)

the instrumental bridge is so much more interesting, it’s a shame there aren’t any mastered vocals to see what she was going to do with it. edit: though I suppose maybe she didn’t know what to do with it and that’s why it was scrapped.

it's because it's about data collection, not about actually helping the artist. they see your email, username, if you're subscribed, what country you're from, what you've recently played etc. edit: then with this new thing warner now has people's phone numbers. that being said it's everyone's decision whether they want to give over this stuff, and it does give you a warning so it's not like they're hiding it.

marina posted an update about her CFS to her instagram stories:

i agree, but it would be interesting as a social experiment. like charli and (whoever) manufacture beef behind the scenes, start calling each other out publicly, and then at the end of the era they both say 'you guys are so dumb for falling for this' and proceed to release an earth shattering collab.

is this her least amount of lyrics in a (finished) song? there are some other lyrics i can't quite make out. she just sings 'come on' in banshee by santigold, and 'yes, no, okay, i don't know' in the bottoms soundtrack. also has the original demo of this leaked?

she posted 🖌️📖 and then a selfie with her laptop & recording equipment behind her, if we interpret that to mean she's still writing and making her home demos, I'm wondering if she's not quite as far along as we thought? unless the album is self produced which would be interesting, I often feel like her demos have a bit of 'weirdness'/uniqueness that gets a bit lost in the final. in general though I'm so curious to see what a self-funded era would look like. her tumblr selfies in the electra heart era were so on point, she had to pay for the first froot photoshoot because atlantic didn't trust her then they paid for the second part. (that's why Froot (song), Happy, Forget, Gold, and Blue were done in august and the album, immortal and i'm a ruin were done in october) she does seem to have quite a good eye for aesthetics but she doesn't always seem to be able to pull her vision off, either for budget reasons or losing interest.

new lyrics! (assuming pre means pre-chorus) https://www.instagram.com/p/C2GjrskxPPl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

from this interview https://www.vice.com/en/article/rq48qw/froot-marina-and-the-diamonds-interview How was working David Kosten? He has produced some incredible records—Bat for Lashes in particular. Was he the first choice? He wasn’t. I actually worked for months with someone who I had worked with before and it wasn’t right. It was the realization that I wanted to make a live sounding record with real drummer, real guitarist that I could talk to and form a relationship with, which I hadn’t really had before. When you get into the pop world, a lot of it’s synthetic. Or the musicians come and you just don’t know them. Whereas with this, David had a fantastic network of people, so I was able to get Jason who drums for The Cure. And he produced Everything Everything and they played with me. It was a very different process. I wanted to be produced as a band, I made that clear from the start. I was like, how is PJ Harvey or Patti Smith produced? I was trying to find these females who were songwriters in their own right but didn’t necessarily sound ballad-laden.

I was talking about the ones that already leaked, blue's first demo had a date of january 2014 by the og file name and she didn't get into the studio with david until april 2014. though I'm sure there are more we don't have. desperate for the full froot demo, she was so mean for teasing that

marina said that froot originally had a different producer and she worked on the album with them for months before meeting david. this mystery producer was someone she worked with before, and was probably based in the uk (based on her social media). I think this is why she scrapped some of the more 'interesting' production which is a shame.

I agree but in this case it wasn’t her management that was the problem, she was slagging off the song off during its press tour it really deserved to have a moment but she sabotaged it. ——— also I’m really loving how this era she’s not overpromising/teasing lyrics etc, especially with her track record of teasing lyrics/visuals and then scrapping them. it is tedious to wait but at least I don’t feel like I’m being strung along like 2017/2018.

one thing that really grates me is they’re always on her instagram stories which disappear in 24hrs,* it’s appearing to care/help whilst never actually committing to a cause, and just virtue signalling. i’m not sure which pride month it was but charli xcx had useful/donation links pinned for the whole month. meanwhile marina goes to a hotel she calls out in a song and puts money into the pocket of a man who kills ‘thousands of gay men’ *I don’t have twitter so I don’t know what she posts there, if anything.
