    The lyric video switching from black to red…the album cover has to be red :excited:

     

    anyway I actually like the sample and house beat—it’s nothing she’s ever given us and I know other tracks will go even harder

    Please say you’re lying…

    It’s sort of like Sweetest Pie in terms of ratio. My only complaint is that she’s just doing the chorus basically so her part sounds repetitive however 

    Her voice is just so :oprah: I’m obsessed with this woman

    Her most cohesive body of work so far. The only downside if the interludes totally laeve you wanting them to be fleshed out songs. One more My Love-esque track would have been nice given the Choreomania theme, but the gospel/rock influence is still nice. First full listen: 8/10

    May you explain more your interpretation of Miss Y? To me the song is basically about flopping lol. Tbh I like to think it's Marina's reaction after seeing TFJ's performance commercially and critically (aka a flop for her expectatives and ambitions) so the song hits harder 

    Interesting! I actually see it a bit as a reaction to success—ie she worked so hard to breakthrough and she did but it wasn’t what she thought it’d be like. It’s clear that she worked with a bunch of collaborators post TFJ bc she felt she needed a new experience with music to figure out who she really was musically (even if she knew she was being pushed to being more a commercial sound by her label). But I totally agree it could be more of a take on TFJ not being exactly the success she could’ve hoped for.

    Marina is the person, MARINA is the era, and even then, they do not fit thematically where Marina is at at all. Marina is very satisfied with her fame and she doesn't have issues with her father.

     

    I was using capital letters for emphasis. And I’m not sure I get what you’re referring to with the second half of your post. Yes Marina seems to have a clearer relationship with her father and fame, but that was not the case in 2011. I am not saying that Miss Y, S&P, or other 2011 outtakes should be released now under a new project—I’m saying they did not lyrically fit on EH  (in the way people characterize EH as a concept album) so they should just not be officially released at all unless it’s for a catch-all compilation of outtakes record.

    Thematically??? MARINA themes are the complete opposite of that.

     

    Miss Y is about being dissatisfied with where you are right now, and Scab & Plaster is about her dad, both of which are NOT themes of L+F or ADIAML.

     

    Have you actually listened to her music??? lol

    I mean MARINA as in the person not the era's beyond Froot. Sure she could change the lyric that mentions her name from Miss Y and it'd be more of a fit given the themes of identity, but it's just more of a personal track for me that dips into ideas that went into the creation of EH rather than it being a track that belongs on the record.

    Buy The Stars is also about her dad and is on the album? 

    I think Scab & Plaster, Jealousy, Miss Y & Just Desserts should be on the platinum edition.

    Yeah which is why I don't think Buy the Stars fits EH. Sex Yeah is also a stretch thematically. Again, it's not about whether I like the tracks, but most people do nothing but complain about L+F not being cohesive but then beg her to add tracks to EH that make the storyline (that's barely there) even shakier.

    Time for people to come to terms with the fact that Miss Y and Scab and Plaster do not fit the album at all. Thematically they’re just much more MARINA than they are Electra. Some of my favorite tracks but just don’t belong on the album

    i get that but why name it the album:awk:

    Silver/platinum is the traditional color for 10 year celebration + what many deluxe versions of albums go by. I think the name is much cuter than just “the 10th anniversary” or “the platinum edition”

    My FN tour stop was last night! I never stopped dancing. The choreography, production, visuals...perfect. I got a little emotional looking at a packed stadium and hearing thousands of people chanting DUA! DUA! DUA! before she came out for the encore. Like a lot of you, the last time I saw her was in a MUCH smaller venue, and people hadn't heard of her. She's come such a long way! I'm so proud of her.

    Sam here--and also same experience since I first saw her opening for Troye.

     

    I got lucky and got barricade at the diamond, and it was surreal seeing her in the final gliterry outfit. It was a fantastic show, can't believe I almost didn't go
