Crimson and Clover

honestly i'm missing charli x hannah diamond! She would have been perfect with her on Xcxoplex imo

I don't know all of them but also Paradise Lost, The Road to Paradise Island (seen in HM MV), Valley of the Dolls, The Bell Jar or Sylvia Plath's Journals (tread with caution though because she was lowkey racist), The Sun Also Rises. I'd also recommend Beat Poetry because she constantly mentions beat poets, such as Allen Ginsberg's Howl. She seems to love Jack Kerouac's On The Road as well.

i think chem's gonna be a gem like honeymoon tbh

Imagine if the album releases July 4th and she doesn't even announce it, just a picture of the cover art without a caption three days later

i'm always afraid to say this i think BTD/Paradise are of course classics, but I think they sound soo different (and cheesy) compared to the albums she made after. I think it was after HM/LFL when I realized this. I regularly revisit songs like Video Games or Radio and relisten to the whole album like once or twice a year, but those albums are just so different to me compared to UV and beyond.

I love Guns and Roses! I really love the slow drums, the guitar riffs, her vocals (especially during the chorus), the bridge, and the lyrics so much. such a vibey song, especially within the context of UV

I don’t think this is unpopular/controversial in her fanbase, but I would say it is on this forum: Venice Bitch is clearly her best song, I’m sorry. It’s her Fade Into You

Thank god, thought I was the only one who immediately thought of Orange Trees

I’m just so tired of hearing his name when he’s most likely not even involved on the album! What’s the point when’s the last time someone talked about Robopop on this thread sodieoekfisis

I’m sorry is this the Jack Antanoff or Blue Banisters thread he’s not even involved in the album ekdiejejs why don’t we talk about Gabe Simon or sumn

Lana should make a hip house comeback and work with Azealia Banks

seriously?

I’m sorry but can someone explain to me how Lordes new song sounds like a Lana song I’ve asked like multiple times on that thread, it seems more similar to a Paul Simon (who Lorde apparently loves) song than anything Lana has made. If it reminds me of any Lana song it’s Textbook tbh

It’s TikTok. I think if Billie started getting known during the surge in popularity of TikTok (when COVID first started), she would have been even bigger than she is now. My opinion at least, but TikTok has been making really old songs chart again because they’re being “rediscovered” on the platform. I see TikTok as Tumblr circa the early 2010s for music, except it’s even more accessible for the general population

Not sure if I’m like deaf but I hear this influence more than any Lana song. Pls the song isn’t even dream pop ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABXtWqmArUU

alliteration icon !

also this literally sounds like a song by Paul Simon hasn’t she stated him as an influence before or am I tripping?

now who said this sounds like Venice Bitch not even the same genres I’m actually disappointed because I was excited for that

New EP is amazing omg I love Say Cheese in particular

not the gays projecting their trauma onto rob

1 Venice Bitch (I know it’s just so peaceful to me) 2 Shades of Cool 3 Honeymoon 4 Carmen 5 Video Games
