hope… please let this woman try something new. please :defeated: if songs on your most recent album would fit perfectly on the tracklisting of your album from almost a decade ago i think it’s time to explore more sounds and show a little range

 

i mean, she hasn’t even had any visual or aesthetic changes since the beginning of her career. it’s like she’s releasing the same album over and over again

you're honestly really correct. as much as i love III, it definitely takes an avid listener to pick out the overall sonic and dynamic evolutions from past albums. I believe III was definitely a step in the right direction, but Serpentina however, was just a huge step backwards for me. It felt very Goddess deconstructed, less emotion, less flavor. As for her visuals go, I think over the years she's been given less and less support and less money. She's independent now lets not forget.. Holding Back, one of the true highlights of the album, deserved a killer music video and I truly think if she was on a major label, or an imprint of one, she'd be able to create as many visual pieces as she wants to.  I cringe at the ugly CGI/green screens in The Devil video. She should do more Kate bush style dancing in her videos like in Gimme.

This era died in 1day…

 

I really want her to move on as quickly as possible and release a new album. 

 

I would settle down for an outtake compilation. 

 

But it's more likely that she will release a deluxe, now there's no label to "stop her".

banks find a sound challenge

homegirl actually has a very distinct sound and has mastered it quite well. the problem is not that she doesn't have her own sound, it's that she seems to be kind of stuck in it

the way she gave us BUDGET this era with the videos but all hype was dead by the time the album actually came out :rip:

 

She's never been a really big presence unfortunately, all of her albums except Goddess have kind of fizzled out by release.
