I like SZAs music but I could never be a stan because of how messy her releases are the fact that Good Days started the era back in 2020 and the Deluxe just came out today almost 4 years later to the day the music is good though so I’ll give her that

I’m scared for where this conversation is going

💛💛 this is too sweet, you’re like a defining member of LB

thank youuuuu for the honorable mention and thank you for everything you do for the forum even if it gets you accused of being worse than Stalin 💛 thank youuu Embach, you deserve Nicest Member 💛

Thanks for sharing this!! It’s always soo interesting to learn more about her early career, is the Sony bit new information?

Idk I think there’s a metaphor or something going on here

Of course its those two who will do/say anything for attention

oh that's not-

@shadesofblue you're the sweetest 💛💛 I'll be voting for The Kink Thread for thread of the year

Leakers used to leak music

I took the hint as meaning there might not even be an album

Everybody’s so creative!

ANYWAY as someone who has been dealing with insurance this past year, I think the conversation as a whole should be focused on speaks insurance companies/scams rather than is the killer hot or not murder is bad

Is this the CEO killer thread or The Kink Thread

Let’s wrap up all the Ocean Boulevard essays, at this point it’s beating a dead horse!

Last time she attended an event in December she teased Ocean Blvd to some random Spanish reporter, hopefully she spills something

The switch up happens in the second half of the song

Since she got Mike Dean to produce a piano ballad for her what are the odds she had Luke Laird do something completely left field

I keep wanting to call it The Right Reasons

So in other words, boomer Azaelia Banks?

It seems like a she knows talking about Lana will get her some attention

I’m not getting my hopes up until there’s some kind of confirmation that’s on the album

Agree with pretty much everything you said, especially the bolded part. Anyway, I hope The Right Person Will Stay brings something fresh to the table, at least within one of the 13 new songs. Henry, Come On sounds cute but it's not a new sound (based off the 1 minute snippet)

that's a great question! i've been wondering that myself

If you like Blue Banisters more that's okay! I've always defended the album and think it's underrated. But some of the criticisms you point out on Ocean Blvd are also true for Blue Banisters- Living Legend, NOTG, and Cherry Blossom are terrible quality, the ending of Wildfire Wildfire is muddled, the production on Thunder is layered on top of the demo- you can here some of it in the background. These things are fact not just personal aesthetic. Thematically they are similar: heartbreak, family, and legacy. My personal opinion, and this is entirely opinion, she does not come off as strong on Blue Banisters. To me she comes off as wanting to an appear as strong, and tell the "haters" to F off, and unbothered, but it doesn't come across that way. In a way it kind of humanizes her. In Ocean Blvd I think she drops the mask a little bit and it seems like she knows she's bothered, she wants her flowers, but she's not being very whiny/demanding, it's very vulnerable and real- again humanizing. Again this is just opinion!
