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.
The Sophie tracks sound like nightcore and European rave music. I Sophie releases them as an EP and not charli, so that we get music from charli that is way better, but I want listen to vroom vroom.
