Until the girls start getting 2 star reviews from Rolling Stone and Allmusic again, I won't believe the wave of poptimism is over. Also, she's just that good and this deserves AOTY.

He's talented, and there certainly are hard truths about race and hegemony in gay male spaces, but I think Troy just had the upper hand with how his record label promoted him. He arguably had a much bigger machine behind him that also kept his music releases consistent, aside from how palatable his music was.

You could say the same for a huge portion of mainstream English pop music though. Majority aren't very rich or subversive lyrically, and I would argue that both anglo and latino pop markets fare a lot better in indie pop spaces right now. Taylor's lyrics are very in your face. For every Billie Eilish or Rina Sawayama, there's 5 Gracie Abrams. In Latin/Spanish pop, artists like Little Jesus, Rosalia, Danna, Joaquina, Juliana, Kenia Os, Ivan Cornejo, etc. rival the kind of alt pop that Charli, Rina, Lorde, Chappell, etc. have been putting out. You just don't hear about so many alt pop latino artists because they're not the focal point of online fan spaces, but they are there and are creating great music. And Gaga is a horrible example of lyricism, if she's difficult to understand, it's mainly because she's more concerned with being nonsensical and creating catchy, great melodies.

I don't think so, and as a native English and Spanish speaker, I wouldn't really be as envious of native English speakers because Spanish tends to be a lot more poetic, clever, and introspective (at least for pop music in the 70's-2000's). Romance and yearning also just sound better, especially with rancheras, and politics in corridos and banda are as quick witted as rap, and I tend to gravitate towards those subjects a lot more. I think if you want to understand more of the context of the music you listen to, it'd be a great idea to watch older comedy series/movies in English (by older, I mean mostly 80's/90's/2000's made content), particularly American media. You can contextualize media more easily when your brain can pull from different references.

I wonder what her/her lawyers saw in this deal? I'm actually surprised to find out she was independent this entire time, I feel like she had some pretty heavy playlisting.

As a producer, I can only think of Kesha's "Praying".

Every country that exists has not been built off of genocide of its natives, importing slaves for free labor, causing mass migration from destabilizing the global south and then deporting said immigrants, and funding the very bombs for other countries to commit genocide. We are the only "first world" country to not have universal healthcare, mandatory paid vacations, and we have the same life expectancy as Cuba (a country we've destabilized since the sanctions we've placed in the 60's). Patriotism blinds a person to the ability to criticize their countries shortcomings to make real, tangible change that will mobilize progression. Your comment about Iraq tells me everything I need to know about how you view other people and their cultures, considering many queer people from Iraq still love their cultural heritage, and rightfully so, especially in the face of pompous American twats like you.
