People who classify specific types of music as inferior are pretentious and punchable. There's just as much effort and creativity involved in making a dance bop as it is to make a piano ballad. I always roll my eyes whenever I see people who comment on music tastes pointing out how they should have "outgrown" it by now. 

there are many songs she released that she never did live. her setlist choices range from predictable to bizzare with rarely great choices. it's not necessarily her biggest hits as it used to be, otherwise stuff like say yes to heaven and summer smashers like doin' time would be very good choices, but moreso she tends to go for what she, her band and her dancers already know such as white mustank, ultraviolence, pretty when you cry, cherry... flipside and bartender were cute to have, but they need axed too. the first 4 are only there because they are still safe, choreographed, already practised to death. but no one cares about these songs anymore... she could easily replace those 6 with actual smashes AND fresh choices like say yes to heaven, doin' time, the greatest, paris texas, taco truck x vb, dealer, maybe the blackest day, maybe an unreleased like meet me in the pale moonlight. some of these are not even my favourite songs from her, but people DO care about them. for the love of god i don't wanna hear that she is packing up her things for the summer anymore... 

OMG she sampled/reworked Alizee's "Moi... Lolita"!!!!???? this was a great option to include in FTB!
In case you guys don't know, Alizee is a french singer who was really popular back in 2000, and this song was her debut single and one of her biggest hits in France and also other countries in Europe, even here in Mexico!
 

If you're feeling real sad, just look on ur wall
I'm your pinup princess, yeah u know who to call
uh huh, uh huh! uh huh, uh huh!

I love everything about this.  I might even just buy the album just for the cover art (his music is also reliably good though). 

 
Trying to make straight people happy has never done anything good for our community. It just makes us repress ourselves and puts us all in the closet a little more. It reduces representation of our community in everyday life. And they just try to erase us even more. 

Why are the straights the only ones allowed to have sexually charged music videos? It’s rare that we ever get that. Now we finally have it, and y’all are complaining? We constantly have straight sexuality shoved in our faces. The straights can deal with the reverse (even though they can totally avoid watching this altogether). Some of y’all need to go to therapy for internalized homophobia. I’m going to celebrate and enjoy this win for our community. Thank you, Troye!

I see a lot of people saying that her career is derailed because of how messy Feed the Beast is in terms of rollout and quality. I feel like a lot are overexaggerating like sure Kim isn't likely going to be the next Britney, but I think her career will be just fine after this era. I do think she's gonna have to face some sobering reality about her fame such as how she is not enough (as of now) to fill the venues in her tours.
 
I feel like her "debut" mainstream era is gonna be a growing pain kind of experience for her, and hopefully she doesn't lose hope because of it. She clearly is very driven and very talented so hopefully she's able to push through. 

I'm starting to agree with the reviewers who say she 'sold out' stylistically in that she didn't offer anything other artists couldn't do. I think the most both Kim and mainstream-palatable thing on here is King of Hearts, but I agree that very little stands out if you're not into Kim (and aren't bowled over by her vocals). I adore the new songs on the album but that's probably true, and it makes me sad that her team let TOTLV3 (a project nobody could EVER say was anything but Kim) go by the wayside for an attempt to 'mainstream' Kim that was never going to work. Kim on her own generated her current fanbase. Kim cosplaying other artists, or trying to be on the level of mainstream success as Katy Perry in a time when the biggest artists are people like Harry Styles and Olivia Rodrigo (i.e. club music is probably not gonna make you the biggest artist right now) is not fair to her as someone who makes good music (and has a decent, if not A-list, audience!) when she just lets herself be herself.

Am i the only one who also thinks this era isnt done after she ends the festival tour. Idk what to expect, but i do see this era going down as one of her finest. I have a friend whos neutral on lanas music tell me that this album is her most heartfelt and she feels that shes really becoming popular amongst the general public again. I feel this is the most open and honest shes been in the past few albums, and the small world shes created really does resonate with a lot of people. Its def an amazing comeback in terms of artistic vision and lyricism and i think lanas is realizing how much she is loved. Whatever comes next, i hope she either she goes completely left field unexpected or she just has fun. Dyktatuob i think will go down as one of her most respected artworks.

Candy necklace is maybe the best Lana song ever. 
that’s my recap after having this album on repeat for months 

Still adore this album
 
Hope we get another video but I doubt it 
 

i still don’t believe Candy was a real album, sounds like a bunch of 2015 demos that she planned on reworking

Ya really. We've been dying for one for eons. 

That one member on this thread calling several of us Kim fans nothing more than "Chorli Locals" - if that was the case we'd be having *that* level of tracking for leaks.

I'm yearning for a Candy sessions version of Choker so hard! I really hope it exists. I'll be disappointed if there isn't one out there.

Imagine not liking AKA

I definitely think it's a favorite around here, Tiktok takes are kinda shit 

that's because it's not real lmao
 
these are the real writers of Speed Drive:
Charli XCX, EASYFUN, Busy Bee, Mad Cobra, Phat Fabe, Joakim Åhlund, Klas Åhlund, Patrik Arve, Sylvia Robinson, Troyton Rami, Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn
 
Speed Drive itself samples 2 songs: Robyn's cover of Cobrastyle and Mickey by Toni Basil. Cobrastyle was written by Klas Åhlund, Joakim Åhlund, Patrik Arve, Mad Cobra, Phat Fabe, Troyton Rami, Busy Bee and Sylvia Robinson; while Mickey was written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman.
 
only charli and easyfun actually wrote speed drive 

Here in Italy we're having problem reaching the place. Its a tiny village in Tuscany, absolutely not adequate for such a big artist. Given that she announced it so late, bus companies are not available for that date 🥺
That's the reason why the show is not sold out and many people are deciding not to go. 

I see. However, you're right, just be happy you get to see her once. I normally would book Paris, which is only 2 hours by TGV from my home, but with a 1 month old baby that might be difficult 😅 unless I take my husband and baby with me, but then it will be very expensive. Never saw her live though and I am afraid my next chance will be in like 10 years or so, lol. Unless she adds another gig in Europe now I can reach by car in 3 hours. 

The fact that just today, now, this very moment, im on a train from taking me from Livorno - 30 mins from the venue, where my boyfriend lives and that I specifically chose to visit this weekend and not the next - to Turin.... Im shocked honestly
