A great message, a dubious messenger.

I like her and I'm rooting for her, but releasing a bunch of 2 minute tracks to maximize streams is just as much "the death of art" as attempting to create viral Tik Tok clips.  Which... she also does.  

 

A track that lacks a bridge and a final course isn't a song to me, it's an interlude.  Very disappointed in Think Later.

Between her voice, her music and her dancing I don’t know what feels more contrived.

Umm she does realize her first hit was literally made for TikTok? Like the Billie comparisons were instant when it released..

there is no such thing that made for tiktok, random songs get some viral push like that Stranger Things song or Greedy. If she really wanted to make songs for TikTok all her songs would live in the top 10s. It’s only made up by the 30 yr old atrl gays so they can comfort their ego why their 40 yr old fave pop girl couldn’t make it on the bubbling under charts.

Yet all of her songs are 2 minutes long and built for tiktok

The pot calling the kettle black

 

[Ger]

She's right and she should say it.

[Geraldine]

then what the hell is exes, honey?

 

[mrpartyrocker]

No shade but think later sounds like that. Maybe she just doesn’t have a lot of control over her work and was made to create this, but seems hypocritical to me making statements like this while your music is based on the fact that it needs to go viral on tik tok

greedy is a MEGA bop but calling it art is the stretch of the millenium

well she has to play the game somehow, and it’s clearly working! No one said she couldn’t complain about it in the meantime, but maybe save the thinkpieces for when you’re solidified miss Tate

The Pinkpsntheress and NewJeans shade Yup we want real songs not ringtones.

It's always sad when the record label feeds the plants what to say and the plants don't know what they're saying so everybody laughs.

[The Man Who]

I haven’t listened to her album (as I don’t hate myself that much) but I have seen the track list and when I noticed that 10/14 songs were under 3 minutes long my first thought was “I hate this new TikTok era” 

[B-Luke]

You can aim for a TikTok hit and still create art in the process. Not everything that goes viral is originally a 90-seconds song or sped-up version (see My Love Mine All Mine)
