It's very excessive yeah.

this isn't a billie thread but i did have a thought that i'll put under the cut:

 

Spoiler

i haven't had a chance to fully think this through but there's something about billie that i think appeals to straight male listeners, especially her debut album. it was like one of the rare moments in music history where it really felt like a young artist was taken very seriously. i think a lot of it had to do w her androgynous styling and musical style: smooth talking, whispery vocals and futuristic production. this helped her a lot - the expression of femininity has unfortunately always come w punitive measures, like being patronised, etc. i think billie was able to avoid a lot of that bc of her masc presentation (instead, criticism leaned more on accusations of her being a plant, etc) and hence was able to be digested and received so positively 

 

interestingly, on her newer album, not much has seemingly changed - her music sounds kinda similar, but the overall styling and presentation has changed. the palette is muted, definitely more feminine, and her music's subject matter is the treatment of women in the music industry etc. - and now criticism of her has increased 

 

not a billie fan so i'm not hell bent on defending her - her music's not my taste, i generally prefer "older" sounds - but i thought this was something to note

 

on another note, do we think lana might do a surprise release for the single and/or BB? and if so, is it unlikely that she'll drop the tracklist beforehand?

Maybe Crazy for You (if it was any good) but knowing UFB is apparently a duet with Barrie… 

It's from the Honeymoon sessions, it's obviously a masterpiece

*sniff sniff*.. that was an iconic moment for us.. the hype..the excitement..the constant interviews and promo... the livestreams..!

 

She was sooo lively . Now she makes it look like the whole music thing is a burden to her. Like she records the songs and just drops them. And just be done with it..

I really hope she repeats the triple single release to feed us while the album is not out. She should release Thunder, Cherry Blossom and Map of LA, cause these are the songs we already know, so when she releases the full BB album, there will be 10 completely new songs left for us to discover.

[Dark Angel 201,751]

i hope this album is like the btd title track, regal, melancholic, nostalgic, a little bit electronic, vintage, luxurious, heartfelt, ICONIC! i've been obsessed with that song & btd/paradise in general lately and i just need something that has that essence, it doesn't necessarily need strings or deep-south inspired guitars, i just wanna feel MELANCHOLIC & FANCY when i hear it!

That would be quite pointless. COCC is cute and all as an album for us fans, but I would bet on my life that it is not getting any nominations. 

I'd rather her just be passionate about the music and not worry about silly award shows.

Exactly my thoughts

i’ve been listening to btd and paradise on repeat these days and i’ve been craving this kind of production
