Bonita

The more I listen to this album the more I love it tbh. This Def would’ve been received better if it wasn’t for the inaccurate descriptions they gave. It’s a very solid summer album, but it’s not really anything more than that. And I really don’t need it to be more than that. I love a short clean polished pop album. It’s doing the same for me as Troye’s new album, which I replayed a Lot.

The Tortured Billionaires Department. 

this album is such a summer album and it's disheartening to see everyone hate on it... not every song needs to be a banger in order for it to be a good album  also kinda sad seeing how many people just automatically hate on a song that's less than 100 BPM 

At this point you really can't believe anything she says one way or the other.
From various mental issues she has including drug addiction you can't take her extreme highs and extreme lows too seriously.
 
From the perspective of someone who is a professional artist (not music) its incredibly frustrating to watch her be one of the most beloved, viral internet sensations in the last few years and just totally squander that. Like genuinely, what are her options for 'retirement'? She's already near homeless and what kinds of jobs can she reliably keep in the state that she is in? 
 
When currently shes sitting on a goldmine of music she could release with just even the smallest semblance of a release plan. She could easily set up a print-on-demand merch shop and be making thousands every week in merch sales. Reach out to a vinyl pressing company and make a fucking killing on all of her previous albums.
 
Its all literally just laying in the palm of her hands.

7 tracks in rn and this is not giving psychedelic / massive attack / uk rave at All, like in the slightest  
I really like what I'm hearing so far though, a clean polished pop album with Danny & Kevin Parker's touch 

She really has the worst fans. 
I've never seen a more destructive and disrespectful fan group.

H.4U and IDOZ are coming next month and next month will mark Ayesha's 2nd retirement after only returning for 9 months!
 

crash is a very important album in her discography but it's not one that will define her career. charli projects generally fall under one of two categories for me, strategic (sucker, n1a, self titled, hifn lol sorry, crash) or innovative (true romance, vroom vroom, xcx world, pop 2, brat). she's smart enough to know when to do what and she always knows how to make the right compromises without sacrificing her artistry. she just gets it like the strategic projects are still great and the innovative projects aren't irresponsible. the groundbreaking albums will always be the ones that result in more critical acclaim and contribute to her overall legacy but she's got the business acumen to understand the value in releasing less boundary pushing ones as well. she knows it too, "cult classic but i still pop." i could write a thesis about this she does make weird choices and mistakes but overall she is a literal mastermind who has outpaced the industry for so long and if she hadn't learned to play the game by now she'd have been stuck in label hell for the past decade basically

White Dress - COCC - TJF is such an amazing three track run  MAC - VB - FIILY will always be my favorite but there is something so unique and special about COCC

Yes, criticizing Israel makes you a Nazi. Israel is the only country on Earth where if you criticize it, you're a Nazi.

Power to them! there's no way this is calming down and i love that it gives hope for a good outcome in regards to Palestine 

I really hope that the Unchained Melody duet ends up on the album bc it's literally so gorgeous 

This!, but add Angels Forever (reproduced by Dan Auerbach) as well.

Power to them! there's no way this is calming down and i love that it gives hope for a good outcome in regards to Palestine 

i find it very concerning that people are being arrested and such for expressing their CONSITITUTIONAL right to peaceful protest and freedom of expression, such strange times we're living in...

All my support to the protesters. We musn't give up in denouncing the war crimes that Israel and the US are committing against palestinians.

go students go!
 
it fascinates me that in the face of almost everyone decrying Israeli war crimes, Zionists refuse to acknowledge the possibility they are wrong.

More than 40 protest encampments have popped up on college campuses across the US and Canada. Columbia, MIT, Harvard, University of Michigan, and University of Texas at Austin, OSU, Princeton, George Washington are some of the most prominent colleges with active protesting going on, in response to Israel’s war on Gaza.

Dozens have been arrested at select universities and there have been many noted instances of attacks and arrests of journalists and medics.

This is an ongoing situation and it’s very possible things get much worse!

Looking statistically at Lana’s past albums for my predictions (and assuming Lasso will be around 12 tracks, that number just feels right to me) - 2 & 4 will be the average fan favourite (often single material) and 6 & 11 will be the true stan favourite (deep cuts made popular by fan listening) 1, 3, 7, & 12 will either be major hits or major misses. 9 & 10 will be growers/underrated. Fans will either absolutely love or absolutely hate 5. 8 will likely be a skip for most.
Going off of absolutely nothing but average track rankings for her albums…
My personal early ranking prediction is: 6, 3, 11, 10, 7, 9, 5, 1, 8, 12, 4, 2
Average fan/LB member ranking will be: 3, 4, 2, 6, 10, 11, 5, 1, 9, 8, 12, 7
 
See u all on release day to compare these to the actual results xx

I just know that the Lasso album cover is gonna be one for the herstory books
