She kinda serving 2005 era Robyn. "It's Konichiwa ******* from Beijing to Saigon!"I feel like I would like her more and find her endearing without the Mars a Lago tan. A country diva from Alabama needs to be a little pale and homely. And if you're gonna tan, give the people a little country glamour. A little razzle dazzle."""The only democracy in the Middle East"""Girl, what? Her story is cool but people aren't listening to it because they want to listen to someone from Slovakia. They're listening to it because it sounds like a BANGERZ era Miley Cyrus song and a pop girl doing a rare trap-inspired song amongst the flood of country nonsense. There's nothing in the song or video that reads as "EUROPEAN", especially when the song itself is so heavily pulling from an era of 2010s music of "white pop girls making trap inspired music". If you didn't know anything about her, the video for Ain't In LA just looks like it'd take place in some other small California city and she's just personally beefing with LA.These icons - Also -China is capitalist when they can kill billionaires who do bad things and take over any property or companies that start to fail the purpose of the state? Sign me up for Dengism!!!Got my first political survey call of my life today. The interviewer's reaction when I first said I was a white non-Latino male but then started saying "strong disapprove" on every topic of Trump's job as President. Probably their reaction when I said I trust Democrats in Congress more than Trump and Republicans in Congress when asked about "deporting dangerous illegal criminals". Our silence on the phone when he told me I got an open ended answer and he asked me what my number one issue leading into the midterms was and I told him "Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people".I don't think 4 tracks isn't enough or can't elevate an album. Something like Brighter Days Ahead took an already great album and its new tracks elevated it to a discography highlight. I think the one issue for Taylor, and it acts more so as an unfortunate byproduct of a celebrity, is that her writing is almost now too specific to her. Everything feels almost too hyper-specific about her fame and the Easter eggs of her life. I don't want to listen to a song and it be beaten over my head of "oh this is about one of the Scott's" or "oh this is hyper-specifically about her one bisexual ex-boyfriend who did a lot of drugs and broke her heart after a 3 month love affair and a controversy involving problematic race play porn!" If some artists' problem is that they keep their cards just a little too close to their chest and refuse to disclose any specific details, her's feels like she's maybe disclosed a little too much and set up Saw-style games on how fans can then decode further specifics. Need her to focus a little more on articulating emotions and emotional intelligence than descriptive storytelling. I don't need to know the type of wood the table is made of!Hmm, I do think there is something to be said that MNEK writes and produces his own work. Having a very specific sound he excels in (UK house) can make some of the stuff feel derivative and that's why I'm not sure if there would be much demand for him as an artist, but something like the below is clearly an example of someone talented at their craft of topline writing and making beats, even if the lyrics themselves aren't for people.Okay but.. bops!!
