Are we going to pretend that Solah Powah doesn't exist?

What went wrong with Solar Power is Jack's mid production, not Lorde's pen

 

And I'd pay it all again to have your golden body back in my bed

But I don't miss the poison arrows aimed directly at my head.

 

I thought I was a genius

But now I'm 22

And it's starting to feel like all I know how to do is put on a suit and take it away

the mental gymnastics you people do to avoid saying that the album was just plain bad...

It's just artistic and niche, it wasn't created for the masses. When you're used to McDonalds and coca cola every day, it can be hard to stomach naengmyeon.

Simplistic and raw. Just so so good, what an absolute SERVE

Lorde should write one overwrought song to show you that perhaps there is more than one way to convey a message in a song and we don't need to put art in a box

 

She served :clap3:

Go listen to Twigs, Bjork, Kelela, Aphex, Kate Bush or sth really niche and then come back and feel embarrassed  about your ignorance.

She is a poet like her mother.

 

Initially i didnt like solar power but it grew on me. It needs more beats. End of the album was better. 

 

I want her to do an album with Joel Little and see where that goes. I dont think Jack Antonof is right.

Writing relatable lyrics makes you a LAZY writer, not a great one. There's truly nothing special from the verse in the OP.

I never used the word "Taylor" even once in this thread :rip:

 

Let's just say this thread is NOT ONLY about Taylor :rip: it's about multiple artists, about the recent trend of some people thinking being extremely wordy equals to good writing skills, etc.

 

Stop inserting her into everything..... :biblio: this is why Taylor gets more haters day by day in ATRL....

 

We just wanted to talk about her beautiful lyricism and thread kinda ruined by a certain fandom thank you :clap3:

Taylor is the only name that comes to mind lol

You're right & should say it! She devoured. People throw around the word "implications" but I'm certain we'll see the implications of this song. Collabs like this are so rare. They didn't do it for a cheque, they both had **** to say. And it's not like she heard Charli's verse & phoned in hers like "ya what she said", going through the motions. A highlight in both of their catalogues & in the pop canon, period

Thats exactly right. Thats why it was so offensive to a lot of Lorde lovers. I think half of it could have been a cool, down low, little EP on the side which would have been cool. Then do an album more inline with oceanic feelings, more beats, more energy.

Yes. Feeling the need to constantly use overly flowery language to prove you know words is so middle school.

Lily Allen has always been a master of this, we need more casually written pop songs that are actually smart
