i just discovered her music… not her pulling a sky ferreira 😭😭😭

imagine there’s a radical optimism fan looking through these forums years after the initial release and seeing all the critisism 😭

Radical Optimism was alright. Some people in these forums were harsh on it though, which is why I got my own opinion on it by listening to it. Critics are going to go ham on this album though as I can say it's a downgrade from Future Nostalgia but the woman can only do so much. The singles were the highlights in my opinion. The album tracks don't sound like single mainstream material so the promotional route for the album is probably going to be different compared to her other albums with 6+ singles and promotional singles. I can tell a deluxe or reissue is coming so I'm saving my money to buy it later. Hopefully those extra tracks can help the album pop more (and not just it being a compilation of her being a featured artist)

this really reminds me of another song but i really cannot figure out which one

 

i liked the effects dotted about the song. quite a guitar heavy song. sort of reminiscent of a european all inclusive resort vibe if that makes any sense to anyone here. i like it! i can see myself enjoying this when i’m in a more relaxed mood

 

dont get me wrong, it’s a heavy pop song, but has a more relaxed vibe to it. quite summery. cant see this being as big as a hit as other tracks bar the chorus. that being said, it is quite radio friendly so may get a surprising amount of airplay if her team send it to the stations

 

the bridge was probably my favourite part of the song. i wonder who maria is

 

 

maria's guitar rift sounds similar to kesha's die young guitar rift. the guitar only has so many chords, notes, and strings though

the album will find its little niche community/fans later on like solar power by lorde and smile by katy perry

Do you guys think store was an actual song in 2011 or specifically made for the smokefree video
 

 

i think it was made for the video specifically then she just repurposed it later on

It'll go up. Just wait.

 

 

In other news, she performed and slayed on Jimmy Fallon last night! I remade the radio edit/performance edit if anyone wants it. Shorter intro+bridge!

it’s still lower years later 😭😭
