Speed Driving Coconuts

I know that some of the diehard fans tend to feel some type of way about people who think Born To Die is Lana's best album, but screw it I still think it's her best work. It offered Lana's essence distilled in pop form. It was a revolutionary album that pushed the pop landscape in the early 2010s. It was also the album that's closest to my heart since I listened to it during the most tumultuous parts of my formative years. 
 
I'm always gonna be a pop fan first and foremost, so Born To Die truly does something to me whenever I play that album. It's a no-skip album for me, and it's her best work imo. 

The way Candy is just a bunch of random songs thrown together to see how it works. like a sister to FTB indeed

I really enjoyed the album as well! It's not cohesive and it also does not follow a specific theme despite the artwork and title indicating such, but the album is full of great songs and there's something there for everyone. For me, I made a playlist where I removed Sex Talk, Coconuts, and Unholy. I also replaced Alone with Alone 2.0 while also adding IJWAR (it's not that bad of a song!). I also rearranged the track list in a way that makes sense in my opinion. 
 
I feel like people are way too harsh on the album because they knew what could have been with Problematique. The thing is that I think Problematique being scrapped was for the best since that album is fully produced by Dr. Luke plus the title of the album might put more critical eyes on her. While Feed the Beast is a tad generic, at least it's inoffensive and fun enough as a base for her to move forward. I just hope she pulls another moderate hit with King of Hearts so that her label puts less pressure on her for her second album. 

That's one huge mystery that I kinda wanna know about as well. During this break, she ended up dropping "and the Diamonds" and her writing also ended up being a lot more watered down and subdued. Even the tracks from Electra Heart, which was considered as her most commercial sell out album at the time, had sharper and more biting penmanship compared to even the most "introspective" songs of L+F. 
 
I truly think something happened during her break that severely affected her writing prowess. ADIAML was better than L+F but it's still not on-par with her first three releases. 

Iirc SOPHIE reached out to her for a collab but Ayesha was in her full hermit mode back then so it didn't happen. The only thing that came out of that was I guess Ayesha allowed SOPHIE to use her vocals for a Ken Doll SOPHIE remix. Such a shame...

I feel like Ayesha is the queen of looking different in every photo so it's not a shock to me that she looks very different in that insta post


 

 

 

 
 

Am I the only one that really liked Feed The Beast?
Removed some songs from it (Thousand Pieces, Bait, Unholy, Coconuts) and changed a bit the tracklist and honestly it's a great debut imo!

So according to a twitter video I saw of her, King of Hearts is her next single. Hopefully they promote it well because the song has moderate hit potential. 

I see a lot of people saying that her career is derailed because of how messy Feed the Beast is in terms of rollout and quality. I feel like a lot are overexaggerating like sure Kim isn't likely going to be the next Britney, but I think her career will be just fine after this era. I do think she's gonna have to face some sobering reality about her fame such as how she is not enough (as of now) to fill the venues in her tours.
 
I feel like her "debut" mainstream era is gonna be a growing pain kind of experience for her, and hopefully she doesn't lose hope because of it. She clearly is very driven and very talented so hopefully she's able to push through. 

what an odd thing to say! lol

I don't like "Move" that much. I think Clarity is perfect just the way it is. Even "Meet the Parents" (aka the weakest Clarity track) is still a pretty chill track.

I just realized that the title track sounds like the iCarly opening theme lol
 
Both are bops!

I feel like the theory is unfounded given that Fearless TV and Red TV were released prior to the Eras tour. She's probably just way too busy plus I heard rumors that the vault track titles were leaked so she might have just not bothered with the jumbled letter promo thing this time around. 

OMG I just saw "Bubblebath" (the title track) in a lost media youtube video like literally yesterday. Funny how it leaked!
 
As for the song, it sounds good! I love it! I like some of Poppy's metal stuff, but I'll always prefer her Bubblebath Era style of pop. 

I'm so obsessed with Speed Drive. One of her most fun songs out there.

It is Britney singing. Her, Elton and the producer confirmed she was in the studio recording it. Plus, you can tell that it’s her voice

With AI being popular now in emulating an artist's voice to hear them hear sing a song that they wouldn't sing otherwise, I'm shocked that no one has done an AI cover of Poppy singing "We Appreciate Power" yet. It was originally supposed to be a Grimes x Poppy song anyway and I'm still deathly curious how Poppy would sound on that track.
