TRENCH

people calling him "Yolanda Saldívar vibes" says enough. hopefully he'll get bored of stalking Lana like Win the Girrafe did. 

 

listening to the Lust and Fear instrumentals, and honestly i think the album would've sat faster with me if it didn't take itself so seriously. The melodies and production are actually good, the lyrics not so much, or should i say the contrast between some or the more serious lyrics and the upbeat music didn't mix well for me? (I also realized that the production has a much glossier sound than her previous work, that of a textured filter) (im so nitpicky lmao). But maybe that's the point? the touch of gloss pop campiness ? Fear 📝in the front and Love 🎼 in the back? 

 

we will be watching!

There's nothing more pleaseant than being able to use this thread as a reference guide when defending Lana. Sorry haters, she IS that girl!

 do people really believe they are real

that's the scary part, they really do 😭 

now it makes sense why some people are falling for AI generated content, some people dont have the eye to question if something is off

i would like to see her continue to explore some triphop/jungle vibes

or some drum n bass.. i would pass away 

So how do i get into her? She has like 80 abums and Cantgetyououtofmyhead is the only song i have liked of hers. any essential songs i should at least listen to once in a lifetime?

Beer. I’m not a big drinker, but I had my drinking days. Beer makes me sick, I don’t think I’ve ever finished a whole beer. I’ve tried my share of different types. Not for me. We could get high on some pink champagne though. 

i hate beer [tastes like deluted piss] but i've been loving ciders ever since i tried some in London back in July

Sorry it took so long, I really wanted it to be *chefs kiss* perfect 

I made two versions: track 1 is the regular release with the sample removed, track 2 is the "extended" (not really) version he uploaded a few days ago, again with the sample removed

thank you, its listenable now. whatever you pray God for, i hope he blesses you xx 

Havent seen the new season, but it's a good show! 

I lowkey didn't want to care for it until my bf was midway through season 1 early last year and I did the dad standing in font of the tv thing until i got hooked. I just hope they don't start to drag the storyline. I feel with stories like these they can only feel fresh so long

There’s a fight going on between madison love and Ava max currently with these credits being suggested that Ava writes very little.

 

Alone, Pt 2 - 5%

the fact we have specific percentages of who wrote what words is alarming 

Ribs deserves to be in a Top 20 list for best song ever made in the history of music recording.
 

There’s a lot of music where I go “hmm, they should’ve done this with the synths and that with the background vocals instead” but Ribs is rare, uneditable gold. 
 

Can’t believe it’s 10 years since this record dropped. I was in 11th grade and I remember getting Ribs for free when Apple had their free “iTunes song of the week.” This entire album poetically encapsulates teenagehood, loneliness, and the Fall Season so perfectly. Thank U Lorde + PH for being there when no one else was.

thinking about beyonce stealing from smaller artists makes me think that she's honestly more of a model/ manufactured product than a true artist. 
and i know no one really believes she writes her songs, but she seems more like a machine than someone i can connect to from a soul/ human perspective. 

it's undeniable that she's technically a talent juggernaut. but it's just strange to really see her as an artist personally, but more so a conglomeration of her teams.

I really love Cater 2 U. I know it means a totally different meaning to others, and the purposeless lyric rubs me the wrong way, but I do hold the act of service in high regard when it comes to being proud of someone and nurturing them (love as actions more so than words). also, michelle really makes the song 

I don’t think most people would disagree with you, even some in the beehive. Her singing sells where she falls short in writing her own music, meaning that she conveys very well the emotions the lyrics are trying to portray and is why many of her fans don’t mind that she’s not the one penning her songs. I also notice that many of her fans care more about her vocal abilities than whatever words she is singing. 

There is no doubt that she has a whole machine behind her, and she doesn’t really hide it either. Especially with her tours, videos, and music production. She is a perfectionist, which rubs people the wrong way and makes her art come across as fake or void of emotion. But I think she has realized that and the shift has been happening since self-titled. There have been many hiccups in the renaissance tour and she doesn’t seem to mind as much as she used to. 
 

She is now in the process of building her legacy  She is at a point now where she is making music for herself; Self titled was a dip into that water and Lemonade/BLACK IS KING/Renaissance are evidence of that. She’s still making contemporary pop music, but with more thought and work behind it. 

 

The stealing thing is weird to me because she’s always been adamant of giving credit where it’s due, which is why it seems like 30 people wrote a song when it’s only 5, and the rest are credited people from whatever sample or interlude she and her producers used for said song.  I will say that she had hiccups with Renaissance, but Kelis’ reaction should’ve been directed at Pharrell since he is the one who did not credit Kelis on her own song. Beyoncé team simply copied and pasted the legal credit team as it exists in the copyright world. Also Right Said Fred going after her for not crediting them when she clearly did since the album release is just attention seeking. 

 

I am only a casual fan/listener that has enjoyed her growth. I’m sure someone here may give better response to your opinion. 
 

 

edit: and yeah Cater2U has gotten me looking side eye now that I know the lyrics. Michelle always does great as usual

Love it except for the lack of goodnight n go, she deserves to be a bonus track at least

omg sadly i don't like that song... the high pitch synth noise in the chorus is just . but i can see it being tacked as a bonus track

got a couple here!

 

NFR

 

 

Bad Liar - Selena Gomez [original SG2 and Rare mix]

artwork im using

 

 

Dangerous Woman - Ariana Grande

 

 

 

Sweetener - Ariana Grande

 

 

 

Queen - Nicki Minaj (I enjoy the album much more this way)

 

 

Happy BDay to her magunm opus, to the album that i clicked with the most, the album that is my #1 of all time, the album that describes melancholy & heartbreak perfectly.

thank u Lana 

 

the transition of the song is like suffocation, a moment of shock, your mind trying to conceptualize all of your life's trauma. 6:44 is like a switch, the weight of all of it is collapsing on you  

 

top 3 song of her career

I wanna do a deep dive research. Cuz a decade later I still cant understand why she left the scene. I never wanna say anything negative about Selena 

, but her 3 albums with the scene are close to perfection, while her solo albums are..not close to perfection. And not for her lack of talent.  It’s just that she had amazing songwriters and band members during her scene era that she can’t seem to beat now.  Maybe I’m blinded by nostalgia but I still thing SGATC has the greatest Albums by a landslide. Idek wtf she’s doing with her solo discography. I love her but what a waste a talent. SGATC1-3 are some of the best albums ever made. 
 

I only know like 3 songs and I'm not well educated on the whole "and the Scene" era [only her solo stuff] but i've always saw it as a front; a writing camp wrote and produced the songs while Selena and the [barely advertised/promo'ed]  "band" were just faces that "played" the music, just like any product that Hollywood Records churns out. I could be wrong tough! 

 

But I agree, i need miss Gomez to leave Julia Michaels alone for a second and get some new writers, and not the ones who made "Snore Soon" either 

.

her label not letting her put out an album right after WAP is criminal. i dont get the delays for the sophomore record 

She should put out a 30-song album of outtakes and demos, marking the end of an era, re-rebrand to Marina Diamandis, and a year after, put out a 10-song pop-rock album with good features

Intriguing that the same people who love to eat up SAW, Jason, and other nasty gore horror movies are calling these Doja music videos satanic and demonic and pleading god to save them for seeing these videos... lmfao pick a side pick a side!!! 

The Illuminati put crack on Paint The Town bc its so good
