my two cents What i find strangest about her apparent complete ignorance of what feminism actually is - or what it does for her and millions of other women - is that her early BTD era career was so effected by what could be explained by sexism. I don't see men being questioned for their legitimacy nearly as much as women. Much of it was about her appearance at first, too. It's also a really selfish approach to say "I don't need feminism, I'm free enough, it's boring" because great! She's rich and middle class and feels that way, fine. But for millions upon millions of other women, that's not the case. It's like not backing something just because it doesn't benefit you, even though it benefits billions of other people (and has and does benefit her...). Having said that, I understand why she is disillusioned with feminism because she had some harsh, harsh criticisms from particularly feminist reviewers. Some of which, I also thought were unnecessarily harsh on her. Men get to write about these dark, inner thoughts and be called artistic, she does the same and gets huge backlash (because of the responsibility that gets placed on women in any kind of power). I understand it, but I also understand why she would take that to heart so personally and become jaded with the concept. Ultimately, I wish she didn't have such an insular, "me me me" view on it... or at least be smarter in how it effects other people reading it. She could have easily just not answered that question, or found a filler question to use, rather than so carelessly disregard something with a pseudo-intelligent "lol stars and big galaxies what about me". I do feel like there's something up with her at the moment though and hope she's doing okay. All her answers are so very calculatedly Cobain or Morrison.

she seems really sad in interviews lately. more so than usual.

I WAS ONLY FOUR MINUTES LATE TUNING IN WHAT usually it doesn't play for half an hour

Beautiful. I'm in love on the first listen. How awkward for Barrie though?! "I really love you forever"

idk how i feel about it yet i like the music, i just think the lyrics aren't having the same impact on me as they usually do. it's weird because i thought i was going to absolutely adore all these songs and the new direction straight away, but they're taking time for me to get into.

i just realised it's the last few lines of Mad World by Gary Jules that it reminds me of. i love how it sounds

I love it omg

queen of saigon ahhh

omgg

on her twitter she says in 15 mins!

Radio1 just said Fearne will play her new single next Monday??

yessss

she looks beautiful in the updated site picture omg, i am READY

methamphetamines, you're gonna love me, get drunk, last girl on earth... i think Hawaiian Tropic is really sad actually. something about it gets me. gah also elvis, ride and disco.

In Wendy & Blizzard (also the first melody in more mountains is so beautiful)

so pretty and vague

Beysus

I'm in the UK and most people know at least Born to Die and Blue Jeans. She's well known, definitely.

if she really was sent to boarding school because of a drinking problem, I always wondered if word got around in such a tiny town or if they just kept it quiet.

i really wanted the spiritual

i love BB & AFFA sooo i hope she's still going in that direction , stripped back/spiritual whatever. it felt more mature to me idkw.

sugar skulls and the dead icons scene. and the speaking scene we saw in one of the teasers because her little voice just got me.

My doubts are removed omg

cigarettes, Robitussin, will i ever get to heaven? It's not looking good now I'm a wild child, bright child, knocking on your door I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy, I'm tired of driving till I see stars in my eyes that's because i have a bad mind and i have gold in my veins, but he says that i got the purest heart that he's ever seen Pinup in a lonely sky Caesar said he'd fall in love with me if I was older and just the way she sings "Oh my god, I feel it in the air" cliched or not, the whole of G&Ms. oh and and Elvis.
