DJ Butt Stuff Barbie

The background is giving me more outskirts of LA desert, but she herself is giving me a bit of a Grecian vibe

My only issue with the pic is the choice of backdrop. Is it supposed to be symbolic of something? I guess we'll find out if there's a music video, or if she explains it herself.

She definitely tries, and I admire that, but her passion doesn't translate well in her recent efforts. Sometimes it feels like she has a statement she wants to make, doesn't entirely know how to go about it, and then tries too hard to piece it all together. Hopefully in whatever project is coming soon, we can get more of the passion and powerful lyricism we love

Fair enough. I could've expanded more on my point, or given a different example instead of regurgitating the same thing.

you're right, I don't have to enjoy it or commend it, but I can still voice my thoughts as to why I don't.

Again, she's lost a lot of her bite when it comes to making social commentary in her music. Savages was a cute attempt, but everything past Electra Heart has felt really surface level when it comes to making a statement.

Emotional Machine is a really great song, but it's just another reminder that L+F as a whole could have been much better. I get that she was trying to go for deep, introspective tracks with minimalist production, but the only tracks I feel like that really nailed that concept well are End of the Earth and Emotional Machine.

FROOT is my favorite album of hers, no question, but even though Savages is a banger, when you analyze it lyrically, it does feel a bit watered down when you remember she was trying to make a statement about violence and human nature going hand in hand.

Cola vs Body Electric

I feel like Marina's lost her edge a bit when it comes to writing songs geared more towards political/social commentary. Sex Yeah was a great representation of what she's capable of, but songs like Savages and To Be Human feel a bit watered down, and surface level. I feel like once she gave up that angrier edge that Electra Heart offered, she lost some of that bite with it. She wants to be deep and make a statement, but it feels like she's trying too hard to be nice about it. She wants to make a statement without stepping on anyone's toes.

tough choice, but ultimately... Freak vs Cherry
