Speed Driving Coconuts

Holy crap I was not expecting an M6 announcement any time soon. I thought she was just gonna stick to her poetry book for quite some time and not bother with M6 for a while. I wonder what the sound is gonna be for this one? It's gonna be funny if she releases it this 2024 since this year is so jam packed with releases in the pop landscape. I'm afraid of the upcoming drought we'll experience in the next few years because of the mass releases this year ngl.

I really don't get how this works since the streaming numbers don't match. Joyride's streaming numbers in Spotify at Day 10 is only twice Woman's World's numbers at Day 2 and yet it's somehow outperforming it according to some. The numbers just don't add up. On another note, upon hearing the other songs she previewed during that IG live, I concur that there are other options she could have chosen as a lead single. I still don't mind the song and I stand by my point that it's not any better or worse than most of her singles since she's always been cheesy and shallow. But at the same time, since she previewed her album, I don't get the logic of using this song as a lead single especially since it's supposed to be her big comeback single when she has other songs to choose from.

It's not any better or worse than most of her singles so like it's funny how people were expecting something deeper from her. I honestly wont be surprised if this ends up being her hit post-Witness. It gets people talking, and a lot of eyes (and ears) are on her compared to everything she's done during Smile era. It would be funny if it does end up being a hit though, like it will just prove that internet discourse is one huge echo chamber, and I kinda want it to happen for the shear hilarity of it all.

Mixtape being scrapped. We lost.

The transition between from the back 2018 and from the back 2024 is amazing. She really is the queen of making insightfully whorish music because literally how can a song about getting fucked in the back have such a complete storyline? It's so good!

My favorite Camila album so far. Everyone who compared it to a Charli release has done the album wrong. Aside from "I luv it" nothing else is even close to a hyperpop moment. I really enjoyed listening to the album, literally no skips but it's way too short. Pretty solid 8/10 for me.

That 360 x Taxi mashup works so well! I bet those two sounding similar was intentional.

Was the BRAT mural really smeared with feces??? At this point, I can't distinguish reality from stan lore.

It's definitely not tour-sales related since the tour ended like last March. While I think while they overestimated the venues, the tour went well in general. Maybe it's her Ozempic use, or maybe it's fatigue since she's been working nonstop for a very long time. Either way, I wish her a speedy recovery.

I wish she went for a rock album! I truly think that a change in genre will do her good. Whenever she jumps genres, she usually produces something pretty good. This one just feels like Midnights 2.0 but with more revealing, albeit clunky lyrics.

I think she needs something that will thoroughly disturb her comfortability in the industry. Some of her best works came from a sort of challenge (Red to 1989 being her first attempts to do a strong country to pop crossover era, Reputation being a product of her downfall + her Katy Perry feud, and Folklore/Evermore being a product of the pandemic). Whenever she's comfortable, she starts producing mediocrity such as this one. The marketing is great and I'm sure her visuals will be top notch...but the album itself sucks. Her lyricism here is some of the weakest yet (with the Charlie Puth line being her absolute career worst) and the entire album just sounds so one-note, but in a bad way. The latter issue is a Jack Antonoff issue, but Taylor still gets a bit of blame from me for that since she has some sort of control what she produces with that man. I'm hoping she considers a genre-shift for the next album. She's getting way too comfortable and I think a challenge will only do her good.

It was such a great album. Just wish the album cover was better. It's her only album with a bad/meh album cover for me.

I support her statement against Taylor being uninteresting and stale. But I absolutely disagree with the one about Lana.

I wonder if people were truly impressed with the lyrics she teased recently? To me, they seem like lyrics Marina (post-Froot) would produce.

I still cant deal how beautiful she looked during her performance in Coachella! Every photo and video I've seen of her in Coachella just leaves me at awe.
