I watched this video and immediately thought of Sky. It's the part where the majority of signed musicians are promised the world but instead go in debt. I already speculated that this may be the case with million dollar contracts but this only confirmed my opinion. I also thought of the member of G.RL. who committed suicide allegedly because of financial problems. The group wasn't like little mix but I remember it getting some buzz and going viral in 2013-14. You would think that they had a solid salary and had it easy because of their group being moderately successful. I feel like Sky was never rich enough to return all the money to her label because, let's be real, she was tumblr famous but not a single music video of hers has 10m views; views➡️clout➡️money .

I just found out about this thread. Here's the reality... Piano ballads and piano ballads. Half deep lyrics and probably one or two very personal songs. Done
-
Agree, sounds like a song for weddings and for couples to use it as a background song on social media. I never liked those kind of love songs. Her other Lover singles like Calm Down and Me! are also pretty bad, the catchy chorus parts sound like a school choir.

Definitely. I loved pop punk in middle school but this constant recycling of old genres is embarrassing. We don't need gen z Avrils and Paramores, we need something fresh. I wouldn't be surprised if not a single new rock style was made by 2030 and Maneskin remained the only real rock band. I was a teen in the 2010s and although we had the grunge revival, we also still had the fresh sound of Arctic Monkeys, The Neighbourhood etc.

NO. I would have to download them as mp3 and listen to them in my gallery separately from my streaming app. It sucks. You forget about many songs.

Literally my shower thoughs. I love retro sounding music, The Weeknd has mastered it. Lana is retro but at least doesn't rip off a certain decade like many do. I feel like it's so trendy nowadays to have a nostalgic sound that artists don't want even to want to try to be original. I always think of Pale Waves and how their music is literally 2000s angsty teen main character music. Many of Dua Lipa's FN hits have very recognizable old samples which is much more likely to become a hit even among the gen x than to think of an original melody.

Her nose isn't that small after plastic surgery. I think the pic is heavily photoshopped so she would look like Barbie.
-
Kinda random, but Sky has a unique lip shape in a good way, or she chronically pouts her upper lip.
-
I went from being Selena Gomez's biggest stan in 2012-13 to being completely underwhelmed by her music. The only song since 2014 I like by her was Good For You and Fetish. She sounds out of breath, her songs are adult contemporary pop. Her music is a snooze fest.

Little Known/Obscure Music We Don't Talk About Enough
shady replied to American Whore's topic in Music
Not even my alternative loving friends don't listen to this band. It's also very similar to Lana and obviously inspired by her. I'm not sure if they belong in the obscure category but I only know one person who listens to them. Stream everything by The Marias I love every single song they release since they have a similar vibe. -
Duhh. Read my second sentence. I feel like nobody outside of tumblr know what gender fluidity and non binary was before 2016. I just noticed how that would be offensive nowadays. Honestly I don't care. It's easier to refer an anonymous user as they but I can't believe that people refer to obviously cis people as they just because they don't have pronouns in their bio. It's weird. Gender neutral language isn't introduced in my language yet because it's complicated so we're not sensitive to that.
-
Lmaooo that was the most realistic scenario on the entire thread. People here thinking that Sky might release a double album is delusional although I would love it. A double album sounds like something Lana or Beyonce would release but with a bigger break in between them. The only double album I know is Use Your Illusion, so double albums are incredibly rare already.
-
I read it from someone that she said it by herself. I'm not speculating anything like @Super Movie claims , just mentioning what I read.
-
Every time I listen to Vogue, like literally every time at the line "It makes no difference if you're black or white, if you're a boy or a girl" I think how Madonna would be cancelled for not including non binaries if that song was released after 2016.

If Lana (2010-17) was a shoe
-
We love Lana but we have to admit that her style is a hit or miss, mostly a miss. I can name only a handful of looks where she was genuinely breathtaking.
-
Same. She's extremely good at what you described but we need something pop-ish especially in this era. Alternative artists are too comfortable with dark/sad/deep songs. When I think of alternative music darker songs come first to my mind. I feel like the album will be sappy, like the songs she released with music videos except the title track.
-
I will never understand celebs like The Weeknd who make millions of dollars a month, having their career thriving and still jumping into the NFT bandwagon. Same for Paris Hilton. It shows that these people will be money hungry till the day they die.
-
I would be living for baby Liz. It's heartbreaking that she can't have kids, or at least that's what I heard.
-
I think it kinda shows how people miss happy party songs that are meant for dancing. Everyone in the last 10 years were trying too hard to be deep and make meaningful music that dance pop became rare. Even the ones who were party songs were usually too slow, shitty or were hiphop. So I'm not surprised why people love Dua's songs so much. If Future Nostalgia was released in 2010, she would've had great competition while now she doesn't really have.

Al Jazeera is no better than CNN. They're incredibly biased and hide that behind their 'progressive' takes and human rights. Al Jazeera Balkans is a complete joke. They will tear apart one country but will defend or ignore shit of the other country/ies that does the same if not worse, basically has Biden's and EUs toxic mindset.

No it doesn't. Asia has its own rich culture. Europe has its own rich culture. I feel like Putin is trying to turn his country into the depressing post-communist wasteland. You know the negative representation of Russia in America and that Eastern European 'aesthetic' on Tiktok? I feel like he's trying to make that a reality. Besides Ukrainians, I feel so bad about the innocent Russians who have no future in that kind of country but can't fly elsewhere. Okay, finally someone doesn't see the west as a good guy either. There aren't bad guys nor the good guys. That's what makes politics so complicated. The west usually completely demonizes their enemy while showing their ally as an innocent angel. They probably overreact so Russia will look like Nazi Germany and Ukraine can join NATO.
-
I know, right wingers (conservatives) are so hypocritical. They usually enjoy everything the 'perverted' liberals do except they're better at hiding it.

I will never understand Putin's vision for his own country. Before communism, Russia used to be rich of European culture (ballet, literature, classical music). Today, he's continuing to distance himself from Europe and act like they're not a European country and now about to become the most hated country in the world and also a third world country because of the sanctions and money that went to war. I wanted to share their hilarious propaganda poster of the west vs the east but I can't find it. The west is perverted with drugs and gay men while the east has the church, an army and Yuri Gagarin (first man in space). The biggest irony is that Gagarin said "There's no God here" lmaoo.
