Subversive

It's interesting that you both feel like she rushed this project while also it's more commerical and super polished, which I would take as fairly antithetical concepts (but yeah I take the mixing on these to be a sign of how quickly they were made in between tour dates). But none of the singles so far sound particularly more commerical than, again, songs like UL BM Dance, etc. I totally agree that the chorus and bridge of this one are more smooth and sweet on the ear, but they're couched between elements that I think will keep it from getting huge GP attention. She has said that this project has more soft moments (which I assume she is mostly referring to ITHAG PW and PL because otherwise BNC, C2, and this feel as gritty and loud as anything on WGIA) but I don't equate that with an attempt to be commerical.

What about this song in particular feels any more polished than UL, Cannibalism, BM, etc? The voice filter, vocal performance, verse melodies all sound as raw and DIY as anything on WG - meaning really not even that raw. The greatness of this combo era is how she's balanced pop melodies with much grittier elements - which HB does just as well

I suppose this is the closest flip to OLD FLING$ since she's the one "creeping"? this is the definitely the most pop-lush song of the era besides UL this chorus is phenomenal for me

This would've been a bandaid on my mood if the midterms had gone the other way but no this is just the cherry on top like come on

it's far from my favorite FN outtake but it definitely could've been the album closer in place of Boys Will Be Boys. I truly want to hear her unfiltered thoughts of releasing Not My Problem over it or other outtakes

I wish she hadn't censored herself and kept the demo's pre-choruses. They break up the song from being as repetitive and are the best allusion to the follow up that would be UV Hit me, my darling, tonight I don't know why, but I like it Gotta get back to the wild Give it up, give it up, live it up, live it up

the transparency is great. hope strucutral change comes to help artists not have to struggle so much to tour

Vers 2 and 3 might be one of my favorite moments on Blackout glad talent is being praised

I suggest don't go ATVing with him when you're out west

Canada Dry…oh he's still got it. Some other tracks are questionable as were the single choices but I'll forgive just for that CD outro

The "we used to be a family that could actually talk about politics" sentiment so many bring up is so hilarious since that's quite literally never been the case. Obviously there's gradients to polarization but to act like speaking up about any thing you care about today is uniquely divisive is baffling and fully willful ignorance

Vinyls out then. Album is out Dec 4 It's like Lana's Paradise - makes more sense conceptually and with time constraints (her year has been nuts) to make a full. 9 is pretty great for the concept imo

that first pic...oh wow. i can see a billion photos of her and yet now and then she still manages to suprise me how stunning she is

Everything about how this has gone shows why the death penalty should not be a thing. So easy to say she deserves it (she does) but the realities of how to do it and the legal challenges leading up to it are such a waste when life penalty is enough

if it wasn't for my masseuse and music I would've k-worded myself years ago this is a personal attack

Calling this an op-ed and featuring it is as self-absorbed and oblivious as a lot of what Taylor has been doing over the past two years

I think "I'm stronger than all my men, except for you" is the one

Can't believe it's been six years since The Ascension. No album feels like the first cool breeze of autumn quite like this one

maybe every new song she performed on the tour will be the singles so Nekromantik will be the last one The melody to ithGAG's prechorus might be one of my absolute favorites she's ever done so im glad she's doing this rollout just for me

The vocal mixing is not good and at times distractingly bad for the title track being about dancing, there's not that much here to get the kids to want to - Innocent being the main exception- but once you get over that, sweet songs and a good project overall

The way the live versions have been elevated by the album versions by a wide margin … I don't think I will survive ITHGAG I think it's good for today's focus to be the single and tomorrow the album announcement

The head nod oh wow she's truly a student of Lemonade

What is HITSDD track record again? I always assume they're getting information from label meetings and briefings but I may have just made that up in my head

She truly is her only completion

when she drops it on 9/11 worst girl in America indeed
