But yeah, I totally get if you're not into longer projects and songs. Hope you get through it though, it ends on TOP.

I don't think the comparison of some of her melodies and some of the production elements to Lana (Family Tree) and Taylor (American Teenager) are really that far off, but Ethel definitely carved her own niche here. We should stop comparing talented women to begin with who have such clear and concise visions for what type of artist they want to be. Hope she does well. I could totally see P4K doing a retro on this if she follows it up with more incredible albums. This exactly how I feel. Like to be completely honest, even before seeing the comparisons, I was describing her to my friends as a gothic Lana-Taylor hybrid But so what? That's just in terms of the "vibe" of some songs which pull influences from some of the same places Lana and Taylor do. Plus, the album is sonically very different from those artists, just a couple melodies and vocal tones here and there. Anyways, AOTY so far. Strangers is the best song of the century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of Grace. Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I've had A House In Nebraska on repeat since I woke up It's my "fave song and best song ever" of the day I guess And I lie to her And say that I'm doing fine When really I'd kill myself To hold you one more time And it hurts to miss you But it's worse to know That I'm the reason You won't come home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shookspeare Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 maybe I've been listening to this too much but I can already kinda feel this album aging like milk, reminds me of Zella Day's debut album that I was obsessed with for like two months in 2015 and never used again after that Some of the songs are giving cheesy to me now idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooklyndaddy Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Everybody show Ethel some love on social media! She posted that she’s been feeling super down and the most miserable ever with how much pressure (both positive and negative) has been thrown at her this week :( keep it about the music y’all!

Polgg48 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) the thread on that site locked as ethel's wishes, i cant but stan twitter keeps update quotes and misinfo/gaslight all drama from that forum so i get sometimes damage control is absolute needed for her health sake. its called overnight sensation in full effect, barely few knew her before album dropped and now you got everyone attention all at once, very overwhelmingly stage she is now and her quote is quite alarming since she's been online 20 hrs per day in past week lol jk. pretty sure she and us love things to settle down a bit before those incoming gigs and minimum presses from now or maybe tour on intimate setting like olivia did imo thats optimistic thought. take care ethel OT: family tree SOTY im so sorry sweetie Edited May 21, 2022 by Polgg48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveInStereo Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Music press is always living in the past because journalists’ brains don’t work in the forward thinking way a creator’s brain does. All these comparisons with Ethel come from people who have no instincts for interpreting art. Lana & The 1975 both got slammed in their 1st eras & are now P4K darlings. If anything, being panned on your 1st album by P4K is a sign that you’re onto a new wave & you’re a true original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diarrhoea Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It's not the responsibility for music journalists to coddle an artist's mental health or promote them to a higher platform if they don't want to, the hypocrisy of these gays getting mad when they gas up some artists and getting mad when they don't.
