Lmfao how ******* dense do you have to be to be so ignorant when the artist herself is literally saying this. It's not even speculation from fans.

Production isn't the only thing that makes a song and multiple artists can influence a song. Lyrically, this is a Lorde daughter, but production wise it does sound like We Can't Stop, she even said she got the same guy doing the adlibs on We Can't Stop for Ain't in LA.

Meanwhile Adéla almost 6 months ago…

Girl, truly shut the **** up already. Always on these threads providing the most unintelligent bullshit nothingburger replies.

I'm glad she mentioned that "We live in cities you'll never see on screen" line because I've always thought "Ain't in LA" was a Lorde daughter lyrically. Lorde has continuously shaped the trends for so many years now. She's like a Fiona in how subtle and slow burn her influence has stretched within the music industry. And both of them have released music very sporadically while also having long stretches of inactivity between album cycles.

Yes and piece of advice to those who carry the number or write the number and carry it with them: Don't. The chances of displacing it are high. Better to store it in a safe or a secure place where you know it will be there at all times. Memorize it. People can't get into your brain, but they can go into your notebook, your electronic notes, etc. if they manage to hack or steal your belongings. Save yourself the headache and prevent your life being stolen from you. And that goes for other important information that is susceptible to fraud.

He wants to be a delicate feminine damsel in distress so bad, lmfao.

Basically an oversaturation of female artists trying hard to serve ***** to cater to the audience. Don't have anything against it but it is starting to get somewhat overexposed. I'm also not saying every artist should be some introverted bookworm songwriter, but it feels like a trend that hasn't diversified as much.

It hits that sweet spot for me. Yes - I know that the whole "cuntslop" thing female pop stars are doing is getting a bit oversaturated but she's always been like this so it works for her. This song feels sexy and grand. It has that Doja Cat element that I like from Doja that she does so well on songs like Streets, Agora Hills and Rules. Ain't in LA captured something really special, and I think this song is continuing that run for me.

Well, yes!

Estoy Enamorado, Seducción, Piel Morena, No Me Enseñaste, and Amor a la Mexicana are some of my favs from Thalía. I also liked her cover of Alaska y Dinarama's A Quién le Importa? Arrasando is basically a history lesson packed into a pop song and it's done so well. She's got great hits, even in English, but I like her Spanish stuff better.

Belanova is far and wide better than Juanes. Juanes is just Mana with a Manu Chao wig. Belanova had a unique aesthetic to them and their first album is still one of the greatest Mexican pop albums to exist. Belanova was doing the electro pop style of Dulce Beat months before Madonna dropped Confessions and that is NOT to discredit Madonna for her reinventions but just to show how ahead of the curve Belanova was too. They are very underrated nowadays with the whole corridos tumbados wave that have infiltrated Mexican radio. Gone are the days of the balladeers and great pop musicians that dominated Mexican charts.

Perhaps the corniest **** ever… every time she manages to somehow set the bar lower for herself and her burger ass antics

If you play it without audio, it could pass as an antidepressant commercial… OT: I actually don't think it's that bad. The ones that are pure **** and devoid of actual creativity are the tour montage videos. Like why make one if you're not even going to put in the work to be artistic and give the song its own cinematic universe that it can live in? Just a cheap cash grab.

The flop in question being you

Widespread acclaim, widespread success in her most subversive arena tour to date. The other pop girls would kill for a tour to be designed, visited and beloved like Ultrasound and her headlining festival run.

Have you seen Mexican shows? I feel this doesn't even hold a candle to the sheer absurdity and unhinged nature that tends to be present in those shows. Infarto, La rosa de Guadalupe, Como dice el dicho, Lo que la gente cuenta, the list goes on, lol.

Lorde is nearing the end of her highly successful festival run, following her widely acclaimed and sold out Ultrasound World Tour where performed at many arenas. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with many critics praising the pacing, set design, art direction, technical elements, and Lorde's stage presence. I got to see her opening night in Austin and in Ciudad de Mexico and they were both quite honestly some of the loudest and most energetic crowds I've had the privilege of being a part of. Both magical nights. Hoping I can make it to weekend two of ACL for her closing night of her tour run. Some of the widespread acclaim received so far. There are more non-score reviews with overwhelming praise in the blurb and body of the articles, but only including several of the numerical scores awarded by publications.

Underrated masterpiece in her discography that gets hated in too much in my opinion.

No, she's just a poser. A lot of people keep the same beliefs with age. Those were never her actual beliefs. She just got swayed by trends and absorbed whatever her partner wanted from her to fit the idiolized version they have of her. Classic tradwife bullshit. They would rather serve their partner and change every part of themselves than actually stand for something. Edit: I say all this as someone that LOVED Gwen. I remember being a 10 year old playing Guitar Hero and Spiderwebs was probably my most played song on there along with Santeria by Sublime. To see someone that had such a cool punk persona (including Sublime, can't fault Bradley though since he passed long ago) throw it all away and pivot to Christian nationalism has been the saddest thing I've had to witness.

lol, I'm not blaming him for Gwen's decisions. She's a grown woman, she can make her own decisions. She simply doesn't have a spine to stand for a good cause and that's more on her, not Blake, for who she chooses to **** and align with. I just listed him because he has an overwhelmingly conservative fanbase and he himself has never distanced himself from being associated with this crowd. As for Blake, the last time he opened his mouth was around the 2016 election: "Shelton told Billboard in an interview published Thursday that Republican nominee Donald Trump "says what he thinks, and he has proven that you don't always have to be so afraid." He added "A lot of people are pulling for him, no matter how much Hollywood fights it." He obviously backtracked once people shat on him for this but he also doesn't have a spine or balls to come out and say anything other than vague conservative-coded statements because he'll lose majority of his fanbase. I don't sympathize with him at all when he can gladly ignore getting political while raking in millions using the "I'm a musician. I don't pick sides" bullshit argument when music is political. If you're not, you're just a corporative poser. He knows The Voice gave him more fame which is why he's too much of a coward to say what he really thinks.

Yeah, a lot more than we think. M.I.A., Grimes and Kanye being notable examples but also Gwen's peers in the spa punk movement also pivoted hard to MAGA like Sublime and Dickey Barrett. Something that doesn't get mentioned is that the forebears of the punk movement also drifted to bootlicking Republican/MAGA bullshit. Johnny Ramone (was known for being ultra conservative before his death), John Lydon, Michale Graves and even Exene Cervenka, the front woman of X. And I forget the singer Yulia Volkova from t.A.T.u. also pivoted hard towards conservatism years after debuting. All of them posers.

Yes, very much. I was way too young when Gwen went solo and starting dropping her own music, so naturally I started seeing the drastic changes like several years ago. I think what helped back then was the inaccessibility to those people's lives. All people saw then was them on MTV or performances or interviews that aired on TV, but now there is unlimited access to what they post, what they like, who they follow, etc. People can clock the inauthenticity very quickly, especially when they research who's nepo or who voted for who.

She's married to Blake Shelton, the poster male for conservative country music. She knows what she's doing. Gwen has shed her cool punk girl persona for a long time now. She's promoting lent apps, started following Charlie Kirk and his wife last year, etc. Did we forget the weird response she had when talking about her Harajuku girls cosplay. She's from Orange County too and it's been know she grew up conservative. There's more things I'm missing but yeah, don't be surprised when these things happen. The Gwen from the 90s that she wanted people to know her as is long gone. She's just another grifter that will change positions with whoever she's *******.

I would have never imagined the same artist who released Mine and Daddy AF would be on the Hot 100 7-8 years after those releases. I saw it happening with the singles from Starfucker but was shocked when some of the singles didn't do well and even with this new era, I'm pleasantly surprised that it's being received so well by the public. This was overdue for her, especially as she dropped this almost as a farewell album. Now we need to make DANCE… a proper hit as well and **** it all the singles deserve their Midwest Princess charting moment too.
