KillForLove

I actually love the Famous video (more for its message than for its content). It feels like Charli either has her head back on right or is headed in the right direction. The whole video is really there to do the Sucker era dirty as you can tell by the little ad section of the video. It subtly trashes stan culture (which in a matter of 3 years has gotten completely out of hand) and manages to shed some light on the Sucker era. I'm probably over analyzing it and I totally don't want to sound like one of those pop star stans who thinks up crazy wild theories about music videos, but the whole ad clip really felt to me like a comment on how her label turned an album that was supposed to be her rebelling against the music industry (the song Sucker is the one used in the ad) and made it into this watered down, commercial pop nightmare that was forced on her and possibly her fans. Again I'm probably over analyzing it, but thats definitely what I took away from the video. I'm really happy that the video shows that Charli is starting to push back against the era, which to me has been nothing but her label forcing her to do what they think will work (and it ends up being a mess)

I just kind of get this vibe from her when she talks about how Sucker is the album she's always wanted to make 
 

New to this site/thread but have been with Charli since 2012. Anyone else feel like the whole "this is me doing exactly what I want to do" thing about Sucker era is actually a lie? It seems like her label is trying to squeeze as much coin out of her since Fancy & Boom Clap hit and it never seems like Charli works well under pressure and she kind of has a dead look in her eyes when she talks about her music rather than how excited she was to talk about it and talk to fans. I remember meeting her back in 2013 and she was so nice and took time to meet and talk to each fan, and now she apparently doesn't even come out after shows anymore. Just doesn't feel like the Charli I've grown to love

Tremors was probably one of the best albums of 2014, and he does it all live very well. Between the 4AD Sessions and his KEXP session, I'm looking for any chance to see him! He also did great production work for Banks
 
Also he has projects under his birthname Christopher Taylor but I think they're less electronic

I don't really understand the whole Grimes fans complaining about her making pop music. Claire has always been vocally supportive of pop music and a big reason her music was so electronic was because she didn't have the means to make pop music. If you listen to her progression as an artist you can hear as her production and writing skills got better her music became more and more pop sounding, hence why Visions sounds way more pop than Halfaxa. As much as I throughly enjoy her work to this point, I am extremely excited after hearing Go, Realiti, and now Entropy. I think Claire is a very talented writer, producer, and overall artist and I'm excited to see what she can bring to the table in terms of pop music and pushing the limits of pop music.

I can't bring myself to like Froot at all 
Its a noticeable downgrade from the first two albums

The producers are probably living at how much publicity this got them tho...........

I can second that, his live show is more of an experience than a show. Easily one of my favorite show's I've ever been to. He was also probably the nicest artist I've ever talked with after a show

I have a feeling it was scripted, but how pretentious her voice sounded on top of it really didn't help
 
Also the guy's audition was fucking horrible so I would've said I was disgusted he made it that far
