Very much this. When I groaned about the collab several pages back, this is what I was envisioning and exactly what ended up happening - Charli's voice lately has been much deeper, more sultry, more gritty. Sam's is higher, if not operatic at times, and when they came on I winced because it was so SHARP it knocked me out of the song. Their voice is just very, very high. When they were harmonizing together it was totally fine though.

People don't be reading. Or paying attention to the IG reels where she said it herself. Or anything, really.

Honestly my hopes for the next Marina album center around some shit she's said in the past. She's talked about greek mythology before IIRC and wanting to do an album around that, and I personally think that would be the move to make. I'm going to pick my words carefully and deliberately here - L&F was a low point in her discography, and I do think that Ancient Beans WAS a step up sonically and a return to the ~energy of "old Marina", despite lyrically being VERY pegged to the zeitgeist of it's creation. I feel like the way to do a "clean slate" here is to just go feral with a whole ass concept album and step into a different person(s)/persona(s). I'd LOVE to see her go back to that greek mythology idea and give us a concept album, and even find a way to work in some of that New Woke Feminism she always getting criticized about. Write a tortured ballad from the perspective of Persephone. Sing about being tricked by a man to eat the pomegranate seeds, sing about how it doesn't get easier spending all the time away from the sun, small slices of your time stolen from a man who felt you were his to take and his to trick. Metaphor up the lack of choice for a woman in it, and how so many things are seen as 'duty' because a man deemed it so. Flip shit around too, go wild. Rewrite the whole concept of 'Pandora's Box' into something more lighthearted and fun. Give us an uptempo bop about a girl who was bored with the world and there she found a box filled with chaos and wonder and she set it all free, the good and the bad, just for the contrast it all brings. Was it a little bit stupid to unleash evil on the world? Sure, but now it makes all of the good that much better because we all know what "worse" looks like, and it's the space in-between that we should have a little fun with now. I feel like Eros, Aphrodite, and Psyche would be a 'perfect' story to Marina-fy, since it deals with jealous women and game playing and the absurdity of it all, and how even if you manage to adhere to impossible beauty standards (Aphrodite's three impossible tasks), it's *still* not enough. There's a whole lot of "jealous woman" stereotype shit in there, that would be absolutely low hanging fruit to hit with the Marina Bat of "women should build each other up, ugh". I feel like, in the spirit of something like "How to be a Heartbreaker", do a fun take on 'Helen of Troy' and the whole Trojan War (to go hand in hand with my idea of "rewriting" Pandora's Box to be a bit more fun); Helen was bored af of her man, she wanted a little excitement, she decided to mess around with a man on the side, and now we're at "Oops I sparked a war, lets make it his fault, tee hee hee, look at that, the gods are all protecting me, dames can get away with it all" or some shit. Have I said this before? I feel like I have. Idk. But it would be nice to see.

I mean this thread has been hardstuck on this topic the last week and attempts to shift the topic have failed, so I'd say quite a lot of people GAF since it keeps happening. If some shady badminton back and forth between folks is what's needed to work the damn discourse outta their system, let em at it. I'm enjoying it.

I opened her story last night and was like "Oh, lemme get the popcorn who's getting dragged now!" ...and then it was Drake, and I was immediately like, disinterested. BUT She sharing a new snippet of a song she's working on?? New AB music??? WHICH IS ALSO HILARIOUS because she drops the n-bomb in the snip a shitload, and AFTER she JUST posted a few weeks ago that she WASN'T going to keep using that word in her artistry for a lot of reasons I can't remember rn.

I don't know if I would clarify that as a read or just her firing strays on a slow news day.

Masochism is actually here, in concept. It's been delivered to us. We all practice it, daily, by coming into this thread, by entertaining the idea that the universe, and the atoms within, would even possibly vibrate into a position that could TANGENTIALLY spur this woman, and the people around her, to finish and publish any coherent and cohesive body of work. She's delivered Masochism to us, just not in the way we wanted. Now let us pray (for rain).

Literally every conversation rn I guess

I have some opinions about this. However, Mood.

The potential that a finished version of this has/had. Honestly sounds more "Problematique" than FTB to me.

I'M ABOUT TO CRASH WITHOUT THESE STEMS SOMEBODY GIVE THEM TO ME I'M HIGH VOLTAGE SELF SELF-DESTRUCTIVE ABSOLUTELY GIVE THEM TO ME

We need the third path where we get leaks but you don't go away for extended periods

We were being mysterious.

The way I would get my ass slapped so hard if I won the PowerBall because I'd be buying up every single offer and probably trying to buy my way into the recording studios too

It'll be 1:47. We will get an opening verse, a chorus, Sam, then only half the chorus repeated twice for Tik Tok or something, and then an abrupt end on the 3rd beat in a 4/4 time signature just to be annoying.

Manifesting an AU world where we all hold hands and sing and have no disagreements only peace.

Like this is all I've got as far as magazines of the queen. I need to get my hands on more.

Idk I host hate rituals on Ava Max and Melanie Martinez and Troye Sivan regularly. Anyway It's the way that I love this pic so much that I actually bought a copy of the magazine.

Oops I forgot the sideboob in my titpost shitpost
