    I think the single/video choices were...a choice. Good Ones was honestly good for me, 8/10, and set the theme IMHO (see below re: Demonic/Sexy)  but then the rest didn't feel like it matched up to the energy. New Shapes was ok. Baby should have cooked a few more months in the womb if they were sure *that* needed to be a video. 
     
    I won't dignify "Every Rule" or Flop4U other than this line.
     
    Lightning and Yuck had SUCH potential. Sorry if I Hurt You as well.
     
    Conclusion: Sabotage. Riggory. Other shit should have been pushed as singles/videos.
     
     
    Eh, she did tweet that "deal with the devil". The thing for me is that it's not just that she's a singer. She's also a powerful songwriter, as we've seen by all of the leaks and demos that have gone to other artists, as well as writing credits. That's a STRONG asset for any label, and if her contract is up and she's looking at renegotiating, any kind of a deal that includes better coin and spotlight on that front is a strong bargaining chip.

    Conclusion: depends - do we want coin and kickbacks and a budget, at potential cost of artistry, or do we want music and creativity before dollars?
     
     
    Good Ones? Yes. I wanted that whole black widow/vamp/dark vibe.
     
    Everything else just kind of melted from there, for me. (Used to Know Me was cute though.) We got sexy in all of the videos, I'll say that, but it wasn't demonic and sexy.

    Conclusion: It was....sexy-ish.

    TOTL + TFSN, Choker, Heart to Break - are highlights for me. They're easy, they're club friendly, they're the direction I wish she'd keep/lean into. I don't know what is up with her management/label. It's sonic schizophrenia, truly. You've got a singer, who is trans, who is marketable, who has more mainstream notoriety at this point (re: Unholy) - there's a lot of ingredients for success and to check a lot of industry boxes here, and yet - nothing.

    I worry that it's possible that she's considered "stale" - we've been trying to manifest a career here for how many years now? Going off her first "proper" single, 2017. It's 2023, and it feels like her shit is still on the runway waiting for takeoff. The Diet Azealia Twitter moments aren't helping at all. If you want to defend or keep working with Luke, just shut up. It costs zero dollars to just shut up. If you're going to do something unpopular, just. shut. up. And, on the flip, if you realize that's an issue, and you want to break free from Luke, at this point, also just shut up - just run everything by your PR team and management regarding the whole topic. Get a second and third opinion. Damage control it before it's out the door. And pick a sonic lane musically and stick in it. Get a cohesive EP together AT LEAST instead of scattered singles that are all over the place.
     
    Ugh. Frustrating.

    24 Hours is legitimately one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. It’s so unbelievably catchy and vibey

    Now that the crash era is very much dead being that she has an entirely new look, how well do you think it performed it’s goal? 
     
    Did Atlantic sabotage its release by not investing in further videos like was conceptualised? 
     
    Do you think she’ll sign further releases with them?

    Was the music living up its promise of being demonic and sexy?

    She’s not that likeable and comes off as fake to me, don’t know why 
     
    Also her music since she got signed to a record label has been all over the place. Its like she cant stick to a theme, first Malibu, the french euro dance with TFSN (unpopular opinion but I Dont mind It being longer), to cocnuts again and then Unholy and IJWAR… 0 cohesion And punch so people end up losing interest! Not to mention her twitter fights and the Dr Luke fiasco 
     
    she had some Clarity moments (pun intented) with Icy and TOTL but that hype will die soon if she doesnt put her sht together
     
    I think she should have continued with the reagge tropical sound she was going for in Lenfant Terrible, Choker, Break the AC and Painkillas!! Those are some of her best

    I often wondered how she makes money. Her mom works at Staples. A regular job like the rest of us, so there's no way mom can support her finacially. Little sister works too. 
     
    Sky hasn't modeled or done movies in a while. What is her income?? Surely Capitol can't say anything about her selling merch or tees.

    Flashbacks to Charli cutting a verse from I Finally Understand because "it felt too long"   The Tik Tokification of song lengths has really validated her short song fetish I fear

    The pale 2013-2015 skin is back and jet black hair is back- are we getting a goth revival?
    She looks ready for a morticia spin off.

    I think it's the dichotomy/range. She's got songs that are lyrically intensive and emotional, and then you've got the ones that are stupid and nonsensical. Something something "art imitates life" and all, but it's exhausting always being in this mental space of "intelligent and emotional and deep" 24/7. It's nice to flip that shit off sometimes and just clean your kitchen half naked rocking a wedgie in yesterday's hair and makeup going "I'm a hot girl, rich girl bitch girl......"

    Sky did have a meeting at Capitol Records, but unfortunately she left at the front entrance after they refused to get a chaperone to open all the doors for her in the building and lay out a red carpet.
