Juliette is amazing and she's such a blast live. I was suprised to see her mentioned here. Did she get any attention in the US appart from the Olympics ?

Celeste has just released a new song called This Is Who I Am. The song is beautiful but what struck me is that the melody is exactly the same as the one from Twigs's Measure Of A Man. Not just the chorus or a verse but the whole song so that can't be a coincidence. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=UwIN9gIFsys&si=htjxstm8eXvpGECa There's no shared credited writer between both song nor any acknowledgment of a cover or an interpolation and no one seems to talk about it. Unless it's a rework of an old song that is legally cleared, I don't understand. Funnily both songs seem to be released as part of a soundtrack but I don't think that the movie/series associated with it are connected. Here is what Celeste had to say about This Is Who I Am : That statement is intriguing and my intepretation is that it might have been blocked legally by Measure of a man being released but she doesn't mention the song so I can't be sure. So what is the truth ?

It's not my favorite but I love it. I've actually seen her live for that album. I loved how for I follow Rivers she mixed the original version with the sound of that album and the dynamic of the infamous remix.

I actually like the outtake better than a lot of songs from that album but I totally get why it wasn't included as it sounds different than the rest of the album.

New song ! Well apparently an outake from I never learn, probably for its birthday : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08hZG8n7CSc I think it's quite nice

It's not my favorite song of hers but I still wanted to hear how it would sound in full. Oh well. We'll probably get better stuff on the album anyway

I can't wait for the album. I've got a question : has Trust in me (song from Nike add) leaked in full ?

Definitely. I hope someone will end up mixing the best footages with the radio broadcast audio.

I would love that. I'm not sure about the rules but a lot of live have been posted in the media section of this forum so I don't see what would be the problem with this one.

On the August 21 she changed the second verse's ending like that if I heard well : Like my memories, all my copyrights and these parasites, I don't need that Do you think it reveals more about what the song's about ? She seems to be addressing people owning music she wrote ? Those people might be the people wanting her to look sad because sadcore music from her is popular. Obviously the lyrics seem to be about about a man she was dating but maybe it's only metaphoric.

Aw, thank you. I did. The love was flowing back and forth. Transcendent is the word. I'm glad you felt it too

It's been two days and I'm finally able to put words onto this. It's been a long journey to get to see her as I've had countless opportunity that didn't come to fruition (canceled shows, the Olympia which was impossible to get tickets to,...). Until she arrived there I was still anxious something could happen again, and the delay didn't help. At the same time I was extremely exited for having a chance to finally see her because I've been a fan for so many years. When the music started, it felt really special and my excitement increased exponentially. When she walked on that stage, something really magical washed over me. Her aura is indescriptible. Her fragility is powerful. She has so much charisma and she is very caring of her fans. I had seen many videos before but I can tell you it's a completely different experience being there. She nailed the show. Her vocals were very emotional and precise. I love how she sings them differently than on the albums. The arrangements were spot on. The whole set was beautiful, really poetic and fitting to her art. I used to find the dancers pretty pointless but since 2023 they've gotten increasingly more interesting and fitting. From the point of view I had it actually worked perfectly (way better than it does in video form). The only time I tough they were not necessary and too distracting was during Video Games because I think the focus should be on Lana Singing and the interaction with the fans during that song. I have trouble explaining how emotional it was for me. I've been to countless concerts and been a fan of a few other artist before but I neever felt what I felt there during her show and now thinking about it. I guess the wait was worth it and that it's good that I haven''t seen her before, so I could see her at the top of her game. I completely agree with you. I had seen some 2023 performances but it didn't bother me that the setlist was not that much different because it's a completely different experience to see it for yourself. And there were actually quite a few changes from the very first performance. Seing how much work is put into this and all the people on that scene with her, I can't see her changing the setlist for every show. Tough I do get that people are bored with songs that have been on her setlist for many tours (like Cherry and Pretty when you cry) but it was the first time seing her perform these in person for me so I was happy she did them since they work really well with the dancers and the live band. I didn't understand that. I tough she was talking about the ex the song was about. Thanks for pointing that out.

Someone needs to record it. I'm seing Lana for the first time and I want to be able to see this historical moment again after that.

Thanks. I hope she will randomly show up. That would not surprise me that much

What is the pop-up store for ? Only to sell marchandises ? Is she supposed to show up ?
