suckerxcx

I get your point, and I know it's not always the truth but Charli has showed to be a very honest person when giving her opinions and talking about her work and her life, you don't see her holding back words when she wants to say something. with Sucker she saw her moment to shine and be more known (wich she is now lol), she made a record that can be releatable by a wilder audicence and she went more objetive on her songs, talked about themes she haven't talked in the past and made clear that she wasn't satisfied with TR as a whole, I only saw her being the way she always was (a blase face with a introspective persona), but I guess she is starting to deal with growing famous and all of that. I just can't see why she would hate Sucker and why she is not satisfied with it when she don't show any signs that this was not controlled by her and she is only promoting bc of a contract with her label. it must sucks to be doing the same thing over and over, and doing gigs, promos, interviews since Boom Clap come out and she has talked about being tired of this specific things, but not tired of what she had done with her music. sorry but I think you missed the point of Sucker, the song is about anyone who puts her in a position when she's only good when she have a hit and are cool to people bc of that, they only pay attention on what she's doing when she become profitable, its a middle finger to those who says she is sold out and thinks that her can't controll her work, it's the point where she is saying that only her responds to herself and no one else. she's breaking the rules and going in the way she wants to go, not the way people tell her to go (otherwise we would have Dr. Luke or Max Martin on sucker bc they could have done a top10 song, easily). Charli was indeed right when she said some fans wouldn't get it and feel the same way you're rn. sure she can have problems with the label, and they want to say what's best for her, but I don't see Sucker being something they brought on and made she do. we can see that Charli eagers to make whatever she wants to, and collab with anyone that brings her attention. the proof of that is her doing PC Music now wich is not a popular genre but she does for the sake of music, of discovering and trying up- and that's what makes her so interesting to watch. you think she would be doing something that's not profitable for the label and going in that direction for the next album if they controll her? I don't think so.

and that's why Marina released a Froot right before EH? I mean, if they controll her work and has her doing what they want her to do, why is Marina doing the exact opposite of what she had done before? and have made clear that she wanted to do EH at the time, but now she dosen't feel satisfied with it looking back. I honestly would believe what you saying if she was on a label like interscope or capitol, but she isn't. they can give them a direction, but it's her decision to follow or stick with what she wants. they can say what would be a good tracklist and singles in their vision, but she has the right to fight for that. lets quote her: "For this record, even though I did work with Stargate and I did work with Benny [blanco] and I worked with Greg Kurstin, it was about balancing that with people like Rostam [batmanglij of Vampire Weekend], Rivers Cuomo, and people like Cashmere Cat. That’s really important to me. That’s not something that my record label is doing. That’s me. I executive produced this record, I put people in a room together. I took 10 people to Sweden and stayed there and wrote songs. " she wants to work with people and try on, and that what she has done with Sucker, even though is hard to believe the same person who had done a album like TR and made a Sucker right after, is part of her nature to change and create. she doesn't restrain herself on one sound, one style, one producer, one aesthetic. another quote: "I think I always knew with this record that some people were going to like it and some people weren’t. I don’t think that was so much something that I was worried about as something I knew I would have to deal with, because I knew it was going to be the case. After all I think it’s actually been all right. Fans change with the artist. I think people have always known I wanted to make pop music. With my first record, even though it wasn’t a commercial success, I was trying to make pop music. I loved that album. It didn’t sell, but it’s a great record. It was my take on pop at the time." I think it's pretty clear she wanted to do Sucker by now, of course she has some regreats *cof cof Die Tonight cof cof*, but that don't change the fact that she wanted to do a massive pop record and she did it her way and with her decisions. is just such a good album and I really don't know why is underappreciated on the fanbase, that we get to a point where people say that everything was just the label and Charli accepted down her throat doing they whishes and singing songs they liked. people can try to hang shit on her, but I trully believe she don't let that happen and if it makes me a innocent, so be it.

I know it isn't (bc TR sounds good in the first place), but it seems to appeal to a audience she had on that period. my definition of futher would be improve her lyrics with the same sharpness and aproach she had on Sucker, Charli got rid of all things that holded her back and went straight on what she had to say and what she wanted to do, her message was clear as water and as efective as a knife. as for the production I think work with legends as Nille Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder would give her a eletronic sound that doesn't is generic, bc she seems to letting go instruments like guittar, bass, drum on the songs, so I think they would be perfect for that (and Giorgio has proved be very found os hers). also previous collabs as Ariel and Patrick Berger are also great. that record representes power and growing up as a artist, and that's my definition of going futher. I don't agree with you at all on Sucker being brought by her label, Charli awayls made clear that she manages her own stuff, that she have the decisions and her label only must have brought the promotion for the album (wich I see being messed up in the BTR era). she made a record she was cool with and was willing to make big, it didn't work out on the mainstream but still one of the best pop albuns of last year and she should be proud of what she has done. we're talking about a artists who made things like I Love It and Superlove way before she made that album, so I bealive it's her piece of work only not some shit she had to do bc Fancy was big and she had to take advantage of that succecs. the tittle track of the album is about that. what I see is a artist who likes to create and try new things, a artists that gets bored of doing the same shit over and over, and it's cool that shes going on the PC Music thing, experimenting with sidekick projects, but that won't make her grow as a solo artists, will only make her comeback to the where she started. this is the point when she could get ready to be as big as PJ Harvey, Fiona Apple, etc or comeback to make shit for soundcloud wheres the "cool kids" would love her again. her decision anyway, and indeed she has to be happy with her work. ps: sorry for the typos, english is not my first language.

a EP would be great, I guess it would make some fans happy for getting the tracks and others that don't like this type of sound too (and I know a lot of them from another place) by going on another direction for the album, still eletronic, but something more real. Charli don't really think of her audience when she's making music, I hope this time she does.

yea, I totally agree with you about sounding annoying haha I think it's great that she's interested on experimenting and trying new sounds, but PC Music feels like a comeback to the TR era when she should go futher. I don't want her to become a parody of herself. altrough I know some fans would like that bc SUCKER wasn't cool enough for them. I hope the SOPHIE thing goes to his album, and on Charli3 (sorry 14 ) she goes for a synth pop like Robyn's Body Talk (altrough I would love something more organical). anyway, Charli only knows so...

I hope she works with Nille Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder on the next album (also, I'm excited for the Robyn collaborator she mentioned) and put SOPHIE and those PC Music artists aside.

diamonds must be so great
