campelo Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Does she have an audience who listens to the Swedish versions? In my head sounds like a waste of time 1

FantasticPlanet Posted March 25 Posted March 25 sorry but as much as i like her... what a mess. she released her most personal album as iamamiwhoami after 8 years; giving a middle finger to all of its narrative/lore and now she's releasing a whole blue sequel as ionnalee? i don't get it. screams nostalgia bait also giving the generate snippet, pretty sure half of the album will be reworked mouth of a river tracks (which she said gave birth to blue or something), not unlike her previous solo albums (i know she said its not mouth of a river and technically, its not. its mouth of a river recycled). at least maybe we'll finally get avalanche? and the video... people crowdfunded for this? another mv with no plot and beautiful nature shots we've already seen a billion times? this is the same woman who gave us a toilet paper bed, a puppet, an aluminium forest, a castle of boxes and much more on her FIRST audiovisual. all of it seems rushed - almost as if she has a compulsion for releasing music nonstop. i cant believe im saying this but im not even excited this time around because it feels like there's never a rest between one era and another, which is sad because her priorities over quantity instead of quality are driving fans away (but no one is brave enough to say it because of the cultlike fans and her stubbornness) i dont know why she insists on doing everything by herself, having to take care of her baby and all. just bring robinovich back anyways - cute song, but i dont think ill listen to it again for a while 3 1

Curaga Posted March 25 Posted March 25 She has said before how intensive and expensive doing a visual for every song is. I frankly don't care if it's just nature shots of her for the visuals this time; she always serves with the music and that's what I stan. I've seen similar comments on RYM saying that she has been spamming us with music too frequently and needs to take a break, but I think she always serves quality with the music and vocals, so I don't agree. Bring on the tewns! 2

The wiki has a list of songs from that project that have been finalized/released as part of other projects (the only one I knew off the top of my head was OPEN SEA). I would doubt that project will ever be a fully realized album itself, but I guess anything could happen. https://iamamiwhoami.fandom.com/wiki/mouth_of_a_river 2

That's all i'm gonna say.

She never gave a middle finger to her synthpop albums 1
