That's cause she said in an interview she was trying to imitate Lorde and Stevie Nicks on the EP

Between this and so many artists coming out of the woodwork to give her flowers, I think she's earned her spot among the most influential artists of the century. From this year only, Olivia, Gracie, MUNA, and more have mentioned her as a muse or inspiration and recently, an interview from Tyler Joseph of Twenty One Pilots saying he has always been inspired by her resurfaced. Beyond music, within the last year, she had a multi-Emmy-nominated play centered heavily on one of her songs and that Mother Mary film took cues from her artistry for the aesthetic and performance style of the main character and overall film, which the lead actress and director both credited Lorde for it. There's more I'm missing but yeah, she's definitely your favourite artist's favourite artist. I predict the list is just going to continue to grow with this subversive and acclaimed tour she just wrapped and the festival run that has been selling out for her specific performance days.

Cheap, generic, derivative, hollow, and every other negative adjective in the mix. Gabriela is way better than this ****. Charli was doing them charity because her melodies carry what those two have never been able to do.

It has hit potential and I love the concept and the visuals. She has something special with this one. It's about time the public started catching up to her.

Lorde 90.4% I'd consider her a MPG based on her recent sold out tour and festival run she's doing right now and she's pulling more daily streams and overall streams than one of the artists on here. OT: Adele doesn't surprise me. Gaga did surprise me but her duets with Bruno, Ariana and the ones on ASIB for sure are the reason the percent dropped, but majority of her hits from her discography has been purely solo and memorable.

Now let's do one without "featuring" where the lead artist carries the sales and solo.

Her pivot to folktronica was so good. Music and American Life being products of that sound she was working with, which I know at the time were both seen as weaker records following the essential album that is Ray of Light, but there is still a charm to those two albums that get overlooked when comparing her discography. I'd argue they were ahead of their time because that fusion of electronica, country and folk with spoken word elements hasn't been done as much with pop girls. I'm not even trying to be a contrarian but they're genuinely solid projects. Music having the amazing What It Feels Like for a Girl, Impressive Instant, Don't Tell Me and American Life having Hollywood, Love Profusion, Intervention, etc. I won't ever let rockist misogynist critics from the 2000s change my mind.

That whole EP and the droplets she was releasing in 2017 were holy. Bop after bop, no skips, no duds, just pure art and talent.

Spending $200 just to drag someone… oh, you sure showed her

Does she not know how Chileans view Argentinians, especially in these last couple months… that's like telling the Irish you love the English. She needs to do her research before playing in these countries cause if there's one thing about Latinos they never forget and coming from the oppressor country she's from it ain't helping her

Did Argentine female artists really have predecessors to build from? Cause from what I've seen and known, the only ones that truly broke out were all male-fronted like Enanitos Verdes, Soda Stereo, Babasónicos, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. For the female artists, it was still mostly male-fronted like Vilma Palma e Vampiros and Miranda!. There was Mercedes Sosa but she wasn't really pop. These new female pop artists from Argentina don't really have a template to build from that would end up having to make them borrow from other countries and their established sounds so they stick to what makes them distinct like the specific style of cumbia and related genres popular in Argentina that dominates the charts there. And those styles of music are not generally what critics like and I'd agree, even for me, that style of music is a more acquired taste.

I'm expecting around 75k-85k

Lmfao, please get better at reading as I mentioned both geographic and population size. I specially said Argentina and Spain are similar in population and Spain is known for being a country with higher population than the average country. You just took one part of the post because you're still so up your own ass about Argentina losing a football match you can't properly understand what's being said. Argentina is the 4th largest country in Latin America and the 33rd largest in the world, of which 195 are recognized. That puts Argentina in the top 40 list. So yeah, by no means a "smaller country", whether in terms of population or geography, lol.

"Small countries" when Argentina is geographically larger than Spain and has roughly the same population as them and is one of the larger countries of the Americas. The victimization lol. OT: The amount of whining from Argentina is insane. Other countries lose a football match and they move the **** on. This is classic clown behavior that you'd expect from the US or UK. It's not a smear campaign if multiple videos in multitude show obnoxious racist behavior from Argentinos in different counties. Doesn't help that the history of Argentina, both current and past, still perpetuate this idea of Argentinos. Are we forgetting the president/wannabe dictator is a extreme far-right loser? And obviously not all Argentinos are like this but doesn't help that a vast majority of them have been conditioned with these Eurocentric nationalist ideas.

Literally none of these words were in the bible

Problem exists and if Focus hadn't been scrubbed from the Dangerous Woman tracklist then that one would have also been mentioned, though it's less insufferable than its predecessor. But other than that, yes, she has very good lead single choices.

For me, it's definitely, "Everyone here is a work of art". That line itself just feels so refreshing and truly embodies what the underground dance scene was all about: inclusivity. I keep going back to that line and also thinking about how it's a nice moment of existentialism while on the dance floor. The realization that we all have our unique stories, features and dreams and all of that makes us beautiful and connected to each other. I can picture it. It's probably one of my favourite lines of the year so far.

They both look so good together. Glad she finally upgraded someone closer to her age.

Why does she look like she's gonna recreate her infamous picture with him

The fact that no straight male ATRLer has responded, ijbol

Okay and they also talked about talent, next question.

Hasn't there been producers and others in the industry saying the same things for so many years now? I stopped believing it a long time ago. I won't believe anything until it's midnight EST and the album appears on Apple Music ready for streaming.

What the **** goes on at a Noah Kahan concert to get to that point…

Notice how the three pressed people with that woman's avi only talk about sales, never talent. OT: These demos actually sound good, diverse and real, not like other artists who release a fake acoustic version with the vocals copy pasted to an acoustic guitar or vocal demos that are full of nothingburgers.

Her referencing Lorde's Met Gala outfit in the teaser and honestly the overall aesthetic kind of fits in line with the silver and plain colors of Virgin too. I'm actually excited for this. She dropped a banger with Justice earlier this year.
