Slander Love + Fear all u want but you would be smart not to single out my good sis Believe In Love because she can surely fight.

BELIEVE IN LOVE IS AMAZING. It's like 1/3 of L+F are gems and the rest is mediocre trash, i don't get it.

honestly she does have some really good social commentary songs from the matd era so it’s not like she has suddenly become political. (oh no!, sex yeah, savages etc)
 

she was a very outspoken feminist when she was researching for die life in the TFJ era, and although she undeniably made some reductive comments in regarding some fellow female pop artists, she seemed to realise it came from a place of internalised misogyny and jealousy and we got Electra Heart because of it.
 

I think savages is very on the nose but it feels earnest and in my opinion that’s what’s lacking in the ‘Marina’ era and why the social commentary falls flat, for example in oh no! the lyric is ‘TV taught me how to feel’ not ‘TV taught us how to feel’ and in life is strange she’s using this impersonal language ‘we’re in the future living fast, can never make a moment last’.
 

True and EYL also suffer from this, she’s telling us how we’re feeling out of place rather than telling us she’s actually the one feeling out of place and letting us relate to that. with the poetry book being very personal I hope that reflects in her new album

This is exactly the sentiment I share. There was something so personal in her social commentary that made it so much more powerful. I think this type of commentary definitely suffers the most on L+F. Ancient Dreams is a step in the right direction, but still not entirely back.

Exactly, it's always best to keep lyrics self focused otherwise you're preaching and making yourself sound like you know something the listener doesn't, which I'd dumb because the lyric is usually trite

Kinda shocked that she didn’t choose Valentines Day to release the first single, considering she (allegedly) has a song on M6 called “I <3 You”. But on the other hand, God knows how many artists will release a single next friday so maybe it’s better for the marketing.

 

I have to be honest, I don’t like the snippet she posted :ohno: but the video is giving high production so I’m still hyped!!
