    Electra was a shallow, insecure horny woman full of ego- so it depends which version we’re talking about- I’m sure teenage Electra would have loved what Addison represents 

    yeah, but adult electra would kinda just blink ngl :true:

    so it appears that savages is getting very popular on tiktok :wat: happy for froot to be getting a bit more recognition outside of the fanbase

    flashbacks to when marina reposted addison rae lip syncing to bubblegum bitch on her instagram story and said electra would be proud...that literally had me thinking girl would she though?

    ‘beautiful world’ from the L+F era, a snippet leaked a few months ago

    same, but no one was ever expecting china dolls (or even knew the 2006 plastic rainbow existed) to leak, that was the most random leak ever

    shit just kinda turns up tbh. like people just find it on old pcs and things

    I think it’s probably a laptop song, but I’m more than happy to be proven wrong if anyone wants to leak it:flutter: (unlikely but we randomly got China Dolls a couple of years ago)

    id be surprised if it leaks, considering its an early song

    this too! the pitchfork one is gross. I didn't mean to sound unsympathetic or anything, just that her not explaining the concept probably didn't help her situation, though probably more with her fans than her critics.

    no you're fine don't worry, I was just expanding on what you said

    I think they were more sub-types under the archetypes (a bubblegum bitch being under teen idle), but I agree, I'm glad she realised that early on though

    edit so I don't double post: one thing about the 'british press hated electra heart' whilst true, and likely due to misogyny, she did badly explain the concept in the beginning. people thought it was an alter ego, then she had to retract that. (maybe she wanted it to be an 'alter ego' at first and then realised people didn't like that idea and decided to retcon it)

    it was also the fact that old men were reviewing her work so they were so brutal. one music critic outlet (clash music) literally retracted their original review saying it was unpleasant, cruel, rude and offensive.

    3 archetypes we're missing. (I understand maybe she didn't have the budget for the gallery/exhibition she wanted but an official photobook would have been great:flutter:).

    yeah apparently there were several scrapped archetypes that were merged. kind of a shame but also kinda glad because i feel if there was even more it wouldve been half assed

    I agree with most of you said in this thread but this definitely not. Her manager Derek MacKillop did not allow her to make Die Life because she wanted it to be exclusively under Marina brand and Electra Heart to be her seperate identity, which I think would be absolutely glorious because she would simultaneously not offend her previous TFJ fans (who were also disgusted by EH sound, really, British press especially) and still hit the charts. She had hits in EH era not because she was already known thanks to TFJ but because they had great pop potential and big producers. Also her anonymity would sparkle even more interest I suppose. Unfortunately no label would make such a risk and fund two albums at the same time and spend money on a big pop campaign with Dr. Luke production and Madonna/Katy Perry ambitions for Marina's experiment, technically a brand new artist.

    I agree with you. I think if she had done this, she wouldn't have alienated her original fanbase, been able to feel more 'authentic' (she said she felt like a different person when she was electra heart and she couldve felt more authentic if electra heart was a side project and people knew that) but also she could've gone after that commercial success, just in a different way. I feel like the alienation continued into FROOT too, like she went the complete opposite direction of electra and electra stans were like what. i think if she did die Life by MATD, even as an EP or album PRIOR to electra, it would've bridged the massive sound change more, maybe? i dont know. i feel it couldve made the original fans more happy tbh

    i do like handmade heaven, but from what i've observed many people were already bitter about her stage name change, collaboration with clean bandit was rather questionable to say the least, and then handmade heaven was definitely not catchy enough to keep them interested. then superstar (overhated) and orange trees happened

    I feel like what let superstar down was the overly electronic production, I feel like it is a good song but could've been a cute intimate song, but the vocal effects (and that fucking bass) kind of let it down? I prefer the acoustic version much more. Nothing can ever save Orange Tress because oh my fucking god what was that. the guitar is so copied and pasted so badly it hurts, i think the lyrics are cute in some places, but the production killed it for me. The production for handmade heaven and to be human was very well articulated in my opinion though, I don't know how else to describe it lmao

    it’s a shame she’ll never really play those songs again because they’re associated with Jack. you, too afraid and true might never be played live now.
     

    you and true are weird choices to never play live imo, she said she imagined playing true in a club with her friends and ‘you’ seems like a great ‘pass the mic over’ opportunity I know most people enjoy the demo more but it would still be good live I think. 

    she should've included STBS and HaHe on the ADIAML tour too, tbf I get her other albums are more well received, but I feel that they could've fit with the ADIAML tour 'aesthetic' if you get me?

    honestly I’d love to do a YouTube-esque deep dive into each of her albums but I don’t want to use my voice and I don’t want to use one of those robot voices because they annoy me:rip:

     

    how effective the singles were would be a good category too. I know everyone, including marina, thinks bubblegum bitch would have been a great single but they would have had to bleep all instances of ‘bitch’ or change the word, ‘bubblegum chick’ does not have the same vibe

    LEMME BE TAKING NOTES :true:
