sweetener 4,158 Posted January 20, 2022 yeah the thing about her tiktok being a marketing stunt (which WORKED) and everyone using it against her is a little bit too much. You think these marketing people at the record labels are paid to do nothing? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gravitate 3,921 Posted January 21, 2022 23 hours ago, Desert lamp said: Her new single "ur just horny" out (was gonna post about it yesterday but the site was down) The chorus sounds like her leaked song "overwhelmed", anyways I don't like it as much as "abcdefu" Idk how well this one will do compared to abcdefu. I kinda think she released it too early and it's gonna be overshadowed...I mean abcdefu just hit #1 in the UK? I think she could've waited a month or so. The song is good, but the chorus isn't as memorable. I'm praying it's successful though! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princessdollie 651 Posted January 23, 2022 no hate, well maybe a little bit but I just see 0 potential or stan worthiness from her in everything outside the track itself. It reminds me of carolesdaughter and other tiktok famed artists. The “e-girl aesthetics” are so basic, boring and redundant there’s no originality happening. I have seen people comparing her to avril lavigne or courtney love but those artists general aesthetic and style is so much more well formed and identifiable to them. I like her songs but her vibe is just so tragic and overdone. This aside from the way they marketed her which I don’t really care because it’s the same in reality as olivia rodrigo blowing up from nothing.. but someone like olivia has a whole visual identity world even if it’s not all that original she has a cohesive style that allowed her to make an album that carved its own place in the world. I can’t see this girlie going too far unless she gets a proper creative director…so meh lol.. does anyone feel even the same? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to agree but I do feel the hate she gets is so nasty, musicians in general have to deal with so much sh*t especially in the social media era. she needs to build a concrete image and sound, it’s too soon for her- her look is too “seen” like I could confuse her for a lot of other people on Tik Tok. The biggest reason I think she blew up was familiarly. ABCD sounds like we can’t stop by Miley Cyrus with the melody of where is my mind by The Pixies. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Venice Jesus Whore 4,471 Posted January 23, 2022 Spoiler anyways, I have nothing against the girl, but it does irritate me how much abcdefu is a ripoff of Hot Girl Bummer and Do Re Mi by blackbear. 2 Quote It’s not about having someone to love me anymore This is the experience of being an American whore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Whore 51,340 Posted May 6, 2022 the problem i have with her is she's an industry plant that used the likes of tiktok to "make a song" which was completely fake. like y'all.... it's so stupid and we already have billiam eyelash, we don't need another one 0 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EXODUS 9,914 Posted May 6, 2022 That viral song is pretty catchy, but nothing spectacular. Checked out her EP and I thought it was pretty bland, expected so much better. 1 Quote Hikaru Utada • BANKS • Rina Sawayama • Aly & AJ • MARINA • Björk • Kate Bush • Marion Ravn • Carly Rae Jepsen • Hilary Duff • Charli XCX • The Cardigans • Mitski • Phoebe Bridgers • Allie X • Caroline Polachek • Meg & Dia • Dia Frampton • Olivia Lufkin • Poppy • Grimes • Melanie Martinez • Lana Del Rey • Bat for Lashes • Ayumi Hamasaki • Paramore • Hayley Williams • Evanescence/Amy Lee • ACO • LIGHTS • Alexz Johnson • Avril Lavigne • Florrie • Flyleaf/Lacey Sturm • Tove Lo • Sky Ferreira • HANA • Daine • Foxes • CHVRCHES • Lorde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
