now why do we have to drag down other queens to uplift new ones

I am SO ******* BORED OF THEM. I get they lived sheltered lives but I don't care if you want to or don't want to be famous. Who made that choice? YOU, not me!

School Nashe mix to settle the score

Crash Out is also about me!

I'm so glad this is getting more attention. I saw her live recently after listening since Aquarius and it's insane how much she's grown fully into her own. Always carving her own lane rather than letting herself get stuck in a box. She is incredible.

I should really stop doubting him.

sat

Exactly. Get her, zuper.

I don't hear what you guys are hearing. Cleveland! is the best thing she's done in years. Maybe fall in love instead of being miserable?

all r fab tho!!!

sabrina? madonna…

Haters stay mad because Taylor is outselling your fave. She can release anything and it sells. That is inherently showgirl. now run my mf like @Sasori.

Hopefully someone who heard his message resonated with him. He seems like a decent guy and it's true - the pedestal viability for monogamous relationships still carries is unfortunate. It really pigeonholes your sense of self-worth to a stage where you feel like you need to constantly commodify or conform in order to be seen as worthy or normal. For someone who is as outwardly successful, conventionally attractive and in an idealized nuclear family as he is and still feel that way, I can imagine even if I can't relate on how alienating it must be.

I love this album. He's grown so much as an artist since Language. I really love how much he embraces confidence while not shying away from body image - it's a resonant theme that I'm sure will speak to a ton of gay boys.

Agree with other people - there are barely any gay men supporting gay male artists period.

clock too many doors being closed to forward thinking stuff just because it's not packaged the "right" way

i now like the song x2

ntm?! Omg y'all are sick

The song has grown on me. When my faves don't outdo themselves I need to get my **** off and then I can clap like a seal like the rest of you ******* do. Bring on the album and specifically the instrumental bc I'm not listening to She's the Worst lyrical version

Gageteria

I like Miley, but she should have done Vegas ages ago. You've had one song break through the ether of the dozens you've released in the past ten years. That's Sphere material if I've ever heard of it.

This is what's kind of gagging me. Troye and his team usually are incredibly tasteful and for just about every project since Bloom have had a fairly precise vision that's trying to push his artistry forward, whereas this is so clearly just spinning the wheels. It's so Focus/Problem coded for an artist of his caliber. It's fascinating.

Agree, the speed of time makes staying power hard to establish. I just find it so interesting how perceived quality has shifted since 2024 where it felt like everyone was trying to do their big one.

Personal take is that I think my faves and I don't have the same taste with regard to their own music and my expectations might be misaligned. Still, I am curious if anyone else feels similarly about anyone they are fans of.

A lot of my favorite pop artists (Ari, Charli, Troye, Taylor) have released polarizing work recently and it's had me questioning if mainstream pop artists are encouraged to not agonize as much over 'quality' consistent with traditional pop formulas. Do you think this is a mix of: A) label wants project X by Y to justify Z budget for tour/promo B) Artists with established enough fanbases with consistent enough spending patterns feel less incentive to push harder or edit themselves down C) The market is changing and people like different things/it can't be 2024 forever D) something else What do you think? Hope this makes sense!
