I think we were doing the best that we could with the cards that we were dealt.. In terms of the business, on my behalf, things could've been handled more responsibly." Quote "My team switched, which was for the better by the grace of God. In real-time, it didn't feel really good, especially with trying to put this album out and that feeling like yet another roadblock. So there's been plenty of times where I really didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I wasn't sure how (DOPAMINE) was gonna come out."

Popular Post Breathe On Moi Posted Thursday at 11:21 PM Popular Post Share Posted Thursday at 11:21 PM she actually seems very self aware here, it's endearing. I actually wish her all the best, not everyone has to be an album girl. focus on your songs, gain a real following, do performances, have Tinashe teach you a thing or two, live your life etc. she's a sweet girl. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyle1911 Posted Thursday at 11:32 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:32 PM An album without any promo, no visuals, weirdest rollouts and no physicals at all but managed to sell 12k is not that bad. She has potential, wrong label though 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrettyHurts Posted Thursday at 11:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:40 PM (edited) Everyone seems so hard on her and she doesn't deserve the pressure. It's like she constantly has to explain why she's not doing certain things. It's very condescending and dehumanizing. I hope she can get to a place where she and her team feel motivated to push her in a way that works. I'm rooting for her and wishing her the best.

Maybe she doesn't want to come out and drag her label and former management for mishandling her? Not everyone is brave enough to do something like that. That isn't her personality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motivation93 Posted Thursday at 11:48 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:48 PM It seems like her management really messed up a lot for her. That alone can cause a lot of label issues if your middle man is an unhinged psycho as we've seen in those videos of Brandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEUTRON Posted Friday at 12:14 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:14 AM her label is trash for the roll out. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the album and I was her biggest hater 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegvisir Posted Friday at 12:22 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:22 AM Honestly this just reads as her admitting she f*cked around and the label stepped in and swapped her team to make an album happen after a ton of delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawnettakins Posted Friday at 12:28 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:28 AM Didn't help to wait to finally release it when everyone and their Mama was releasing. It came and went because there was simply too many other releases it got lost in all the noise. Maybe had she released at the beginning of the year when it was quiet or something it could have done better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems she was sat on it for years and just needed to find a way to put it out. I actually want an era from her that she's hungry and releasing stuff as she wants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.cleo Posted Friday at 01:16 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:16 AM It's annoying that we're in an age of oversharing so a lot of y'all get mad and act like brats when ppl try to professionally and calmly explain things. She doesn't have to spill the beans because context clues determine that her management held her back for many years. She knows what it's like to get bullied and held back on the internet and in her professional life. You can tell she's trying to remain as professional as possible while telling y'all that she got ****** over. Yet some of y'all still try to bully her, it's tired. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwegend Posted Friday at 01:25 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:25 AM It's sad that fans need an explanation like that. It's obvious and we've known forever that the artist themselves has such minimal control- ESPECIALLY someone at her level who's just getting her start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kishi Posted Friday at 01:33 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:33 AM Sometimes as fans, we need to just be fans and support the artists we're invested in. Trying to understand the business side of things is not for us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
