y'all the Paradise hair 

a new week

Lizzo seems like the most amazing person but the music is not it for me 

Same, and it's becoming a reality. I don't think she wanted to be iconic, I think it was her passion project and her attitude towards fame and performing in a sweatshirt proves that. Before that, she was marketing herself like any other pop star. I wonder what happened in her life that made her not want to be a mainstream star anymore. 

When Lana performs Ocean Blvd on Grammys tonight, posts a trailer of the mv on oceanblvd instagram account and releases a deluxe vinyl with audio sextape of her and Jack Donoghue with Antonoff’s instrumental over it it’s over for you bitches 

Walked on the beach this morning and i saw Lana was already doing promo in Vietnam for "Fishtail" 
 

dont wanna be delulu and this is probably easily explainable but the ocean blvd playlist on YouTube was updated 3 days..
 

reverse psychology i see

Try listening to Arcadia with a headphone, “all roads that lead to you as integral to me” gives me headache, the vocals were really loud, but I still love the song anyway

He literally produced lana’s best song black bathing suit  , what about the massive “dealer” and the instruments in “text book”?  And let’s not forget the masterpiece thunder 

Me listening to the sax on GPSOTSOMFWHDSF
 
 

not the subtle lana drag 

I feel like there's honestly not much to say. 
She just became what she truly despised in the past. As much as she likes to think she's too cool/different for the pop scene, she alwas has been in search of approval from people and critics. Hence the politically correct/superficially woke/universal lyrics she's writing right now. 
 
I don't necessarily think she doesn't know what to write about anymore or lacks challenges in her life to keep her art interesting. It's mainly she somehow developped the idea that people can't relate to her own experiences and that she NEEDS to be universal. Thing is, she's so detached it becomes bland, impersonal and, ironically, unrelatable. 
 
I'm not sure if it makes sense, but for me, the more the story is personal and detailed, the more I'm able to relate to it, even though I didn't experience 100% of the events. It's like I'm able to find myself and a universal truth in the most personal stories, while feeling completely left behind by her attempted universal lyrics. The fact her commentary is so surface-level doesn't help. We get it, patriarchy made women's lives hell. So? How did it impact you? How do you fight it in your daily life? 
 
 
Anyway, I believe she sought out approval so hard she lost herself (and some of her fans along the way). It's already been discussed by many recently, but it truly weakened her whole art to try and fail to please everyone. 

Agree. An artist, who is remembered by the next generations, evolves, learns new things, meets new people, does experiments, goes back and further, goes up and down, put their names in the books. We are so grateful for Rick Nowel’s timeless productions, which will be still listened next decades, but who wants to listen to the same guy screams every off beat, same kid and adults noises, same sci-fi effects, same trap & hip-hop beats after 10 years. We are about to sail in the ocean, let the old ports behind us… 🌊 🌊 🌊

No I agree. Not to get too far off topic but feminism was never supposed to be about hating men and I don't think it's particularly helpful to the (original) cause when it veers in that direction.
Of course the patriarchy is something we should aspire to dismantle, and it's okay to point out ways in which it exists and how women are disadvantaged by it (and vice versa), but that's different to what she's expressing, imo.
ETA: Obviously she has some anger, and it's okay to express that - but I want to hear her go deeper than just "men own this" and "men did that" over and over. I am absolutely sure that she, like every other woman in music, has been screwed over by powerful men in record companies, etc - and as someone a few posts up said, where are the details

On another note, I Dont expect coherence from celebrities nowadays. Hollywood really infected her brain with that feminist BS… Its the easy way to appear socially concerned, play by the rules of whatever is popular at the time (nowadays extreme liberal thinking with idiotic reasoning) and dont question anything. Im not from the Right wing by any means but this is getting out of hand.
 
Stop with the anger speeches towards men or women who think different. Thats what I love about Lana, she doesnt care about the general opinion, more so about her own believes! And she is not afraid to speak out… even if she gets cancelled. Media loves to manipulate her words to fit their agenda… Marina In the other hand… feels like a sellout. Not everything has to be black or White, thats narrow thinking at its finest
 
SNS I said what I said 
 
 

A&W releasing on Clayton’s birthday (tomorrow), with a performance Sunday WE WON

Yes it’s Jazz is in my veins, running outta time beb
 
also “but I still got Jazz when I got those blues” nod from Terrance Loves You

It's JAZZ??? 

ok so this is gonna sound a little off topic at first but i promise i’ll circle back around to the album. it connects, i swear.
 i remember every single lana album release since honeymoon. hell, i even remember where i was when i heard each individual ldr song since then. that was 7-8 years ago. i remember lana being my escape for when my mental health was in shambles (which was constantly, to be honest). but recently, i’ve really been putting in the work to help myself and my mental health to surprisingly successful results. and for the first time in a while, i feel genuinely content and happy. that’s why im so so excited for this new album from lana. it feels like for the first time i’ll be listening to one of her albums as if i were meeting an old friend, rather than escaping my mind. i feel like she’s been with me since i was a kid, and it’s just so damn exciting to be getting this new album at such a good time in my life (mentally, at least). i know that things may feel rough right now for any given person, but i want to offer my love and support for anyone who might not be feeling the best. we’ve all been there at one point or another, and i know you’re probably sick of hearing this, but it DOES get better. i promise. it just takes a lot of time, work, and sometimes just a sliver of hope. i love you guys, and im so excited to experience this record with you guys next month. much love, (and sorry for the extra long and extra corny post), yassgrenade. <3
