domandapiano 12,090 Posted January 26, 2021 Itโs cute n pretty but itโs hardly there if that makes sense. There isnโt a lot of songwriting here. I listened to it 3 times in a row on my way to work cuz itโs more backgroundy and vibey than something that grabs my attention and commands it.ย ย This must be the new song she was teasing but by the way she phrased it I expected more. Iโm not sure this is even part of her new record.ย 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jean 4,117 Posted January 26, 2021 Can someone just edit out that rapping/talking part and just leave instrumental during it? IDK he's just out of place, yet has the longest part in the song.ย 2 Quote Twitter: johndelferro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fine with the rapping tough.ย ย It gives a more concrete aspect to the meaning of the song.ย ย Like most of you, I like the song but only as a standalone track. After de sacred masterpiece that was Magdalene, we can't expect an OK song (especially since it's not really new). I like it better on first listens than I did ย Holy Terrain tough.ย 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What the song is about is very important.ย Even if the song and video are very straighforward and simple, theyย are quite touching and of good quality. It is not the earthquake that was Cellophane, but I don't think that she doesn't care about her art anymore.ย ย ย Didn't she do it for usย ? Even if the song was dedicated to her lover at the time, I realize Cellophane could apply to the expectation that the song itself has created for FKA Twigs' career (full circle). Her oeuvre has been so increasingly poignant, impressive and avant garde that a good song is not enough anymore for the public (me included). ย I think that it's healthy that she let her hair down for this album. Can you believe that she learned to masterย multiple new activities for this Magadalene, each especially for one music video (lapdance for cellophane and wushu forย Sad day) ?ย Sheย put her health in danger for the Spike Jones Apple commercial to prouve she could be perfect. Asย a person of color she's been feeling all her life that she had to be perfect in order to be accepted.ย ย ย I remember her comment about high expectations, the fact that she felt she always had to be a Nubian Queen to be considered. In a way, this is perfectly linked with the theme of Don't judge me.ย ย Quote I've got a precious heart open for youย Say why you're breakin' for me every dayย I'll send the precious kinda love your way Don't judge me ย Personally I'm deciding nowย to accept what the artist has to give for what is is without comparison. I realize that otherwise, it's just toxic energy. Same will go for Lana. If the artist delivers a masterpiece every time, it's great. If She/he doesn't but the work is still good, then let's enjoy it. Don't you think ?ย ย It's alway possible to go back to the masterpieces from time to time for comfort. Let's give them love either way, instead of hate and judgement of new work if it doesn't go our wayย ย 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well to be honest, it's aย very new perspective for me. But Iย readย the lyrics of Don't Judge Me and an analysis of the video and all of a sudden it just made sense.ย It's like letting go of a burden (theย systematic critic) by approching art differentlyย ย If that makes senseย I think Lana would benefit from that perspective if it was generalized.ย ย 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

konnichiwalski 1,759 Posted February 18, 2021 ย The whole thing is so heartbreaking. She's so brave, it's worth reading (tw abuse and violence) ย On a lighter note, she mentions on the article Pa Salieu (british rapper) and Rema (nigerian afrobeat singer) are featured on the new album, and of course Dua. And that the album is a "going out" album, dance-floor ready for a post-vaccine world. 11 Quote ่ช็ฑใซใชใ่ช็ฑใใใ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
