Thunder Revenant

There is always less fighting than indignation about "fights"

I said that during the NFR-pre release and boy did all the "positive" users attack me

On the other hand - complaining about it instead of just translating and then posting it - as you did - took probably even longer. And its not as if we have much information here so let's be glad about every possibility to fill some pages

I mean - it was you who made a "big deal" out of it instead of using Google urself ?‍♂️

I doubt that there was much thought put into that one, it just flew smoothly that way and was not intentionally crafted to leave anyone out. it's just another way of her phrasing her worries about "the now" and the future

Well, imo the new lyrics are meaningless and feel extremely forced, as if she wanted to change them for the sake of it. The original, bitter break-up version was much more authentic cause you felt that she really meant what she sings. And that would have fit the narrative of NFR much better than this weird "yaaay topangaaaa letz get naked" chorus that is not connected to the rest of the lyrics at all.

I really want to hear another song from this project to decide whether it wil be a return to former quality or just another L+F

It works but it would have worked so much better if she would have just left it like it was before.

I don't even really get why she insisted on changing the lyrics. The song would have fit NFRs much better with the "bitter" version aka her leaving the narcissist musician. The worst thing was how absolutely random the new chorus was, as if it was written by a LDR-lyrics-generator-KI. I mean ... "Topangas haaawt tonite, I just wanna partay with uuuuu, I'm taking off mah bathing suit" is really just bad. I think that she tends to fuck up when trying to change a song becuase of reasons ot actually relate to the music but because of overthinking ("I'm not in this place anymore"). Same thing happened when she desperately tried to merge BP into a duet with Spongebob Nicks.

She never learnt what the pandemic means, has she?

Ok but now that's just actively trying to find something to be upset about.

A bit like NFR All the "It's gonna be her BEEEEST ALBUM EVER I can feel it in my little toe"-people will hate it, call it beige, boring, not cinematic enough and will hate on Jack and Nikki.

I mean, I'm just as much a fan of Lanas music as everyone here, but "her personal stories" boil down to a lot of bad-romance-klischees, which - while enjoyable - are not really that unique or "autobiographic" as she's always made them out to be (at least up until NFR)

Kat Edmonsons debut album was essentially a cover allbum but if you don't know you would not notice. Y'all are so stuck within your "bUt cOvErS aRe NoT hEr OwN sOnGs"-neurosis it hurts.

She literally posted a pic of Summertime with the caption "Standard crew". Don't make things more complicated than they are

Uhm ... how are those related?

God I hate her. Why does she habe to be such an A-hole?

God, sometimes I have nothing but contempt for her, but the truth is that I'm only mad because I love her art so much. I was so excited for this project, would have fit the christmassy vibe so well. But yeah, we all know that she can't be trusted.

Out of all songs to criticize you chose FORGET? It has pretty "OG Marina" lyrics and is definitly one of the least bland songs on Froot but ... go off I guess

THIS!

Omg yas! But I suppose this means no coveralbum

It's not really unrealistic that fans would conspire over this though.

I have to say that I kind of preferred this LMBYLAW performance over the JF one. The background singers were a nice addition, but this kind of seemed more genuine and I preferred her look (minus the broken arm lol).

Ok, but it's not "their" culture. I mean, most of these classic songs are covered around all sorts of countries again and again so it's not like knowing them is something Musica-exclusive. I'm from Germany, I dont have an above-average interest for Americana-culture, but I know these songs and their legacy anyway. Not knowing about the book is one thing, but assuming that she'll do Britney Spears and Black Eyed Peas is just ... not it, and it's not connected to any (US-)American-specific knowledge.
