FROOT is her opus magnum. Her best effort. The more minimalistic production, the softness of the melodies yet the boldness coming out of them, the cohesiveness. To me, FROOT is in a way a definition of a perfectly balanced and well-structured album. A masterpiece and seeing the general direction that Miss Diamandis takes with her newer art pieces, I somehow doubt she will ever top it. I mean, L+F is... meh. There are a couple of stunning tracks, but many of them sound utterly artificial... and sound to me as half-ass products, in a way. ADIAML was a giant step forward - I love the addition of Family Jewels vibes in the more uptempo tracks, i.e. that sprinkle of quirkiness and theatricality, which are just some of the elements that made me fall in love with TFJ. Ancient Dreams... has far more good moments than bad - most of the tracks are great, but I feel like the substance is missing somewhere... Like, it seems to me to be more of a collection of songs than a big picture idea. Just some thoughts. Sorry, bye.

Wow to the amazing butterfly effect that was that Sky Ferreira x Elon Musk fake news leading to a possible end of twitter, everything around her is so unbelievably funny...

ooo i'll share some of mine!
lee hazlewood gets nowhere remotely near enough credit as he deserves! he is one of the greats.
this feels controversial to say as a gaga stan, but i think there's a lot of revisionist history surrounding ARTPOP. i love gaga and i genuinely fkn love ARTPOP but if we're being brutally honest.... with the exception of a few songs it wasn't particularly ahead of its time and im not sure where that narrative comes from. if anything, it was very *of* its time. EDM was the popular mainstream sound at that point, and i don't think it deviated too much from that blueprint aside from that it went a little harder on the sound (just my opinion!). the album deffo has kooky and weird moments (Aura is a straight up amazing acid trip, Venus was campy but not overly weird, G.U.Y. was also super camp with the spoken word parts) but i don't think it's anywhere near as experimental as people claim. that being said i still love the album!
yung lean is ridiculously influential and his impact on the current music scene (so far as rappers and even hyperpop artists are concerned) will be recognised and maybe even studied one day. i also think he's an infinitely better artist than bladee - who i still love!
the current y2k revival is getting a little boring for me! it borders on cosplay at some points
i hate the anti-intellectualism stance that a lot of rap fans/hiphop fans are taking over the past few years, mocking artists like kendrick lamar or j cole for being conscious rappers and calling them "corny" or whatever... there's a place for silly non-serious lyricism but also a place for the opposite! also kendrick lamar will always be legendary but i'm not sure how unpopular that opinion is lmao -

MARINA - Handmade Heaven (2019). Remake of LOVE + FEAR, using plenty of outtakes to make a stronger story imo.
Handmade Heaven Superstar Emotional Machine Absent Love Please Don't Call Me Karma Water Under the Bridge Believe in Love The Art of Letting Go Demons + Angels Too Afraid Soft to Be Strong End of the Earth
originally There's Nothing Wrong with You was in the place of Superstar but it's even cheesier and I like both anyways so I panicked lol
