I mean, we all know Brazilians are pretty much ready and willing to die for pop music...

i hope she's careful... whatever amount of $$$ she settled for i'm sure diddy will make it very hard behind the scenes for her to enjoy in the future. he's scary.

It wasn't LaAaAaAaHhHhHhHhHhHhHhHhhHhhHHv!! It wasn't LaAaAaAaHhHhHhHhHhHhHhHhhHhhHHv!!

ummmm, hello...???

the black Body Language fits so much better than the red

lmao, it's the best song on the album trash like Teenage Dream and all those boring ballads are what ruin it. did you forget which album track was nominated for a Grammy? (hint: not a ballad)

The Swifties are just mad he dumped their fave and she’s had to spend the whole entire year doing papped walks with her Girl Squad pretending she’s unbothered by it.

what?!?! red makes zero sense.

economists know...

do better, Lana!

101-150

i mean, it's her debut album, it's ok to grow a little. i think ppl have gotten accustomed to major debut eras like billie or olivia. if she really is a pop genius like so many are saying, she'll get her moment in the sun in the future for sure.

artists are allowed to not be a huge fan of a song they made, or even resent the songs TikTok made big. sometimes artists are convinced to release songs they aren't crazy about because of their "potential" or whatever. i think it's interesting when they rank their own songs. it's different when someone like miley launches a new era by trashing her previous one every time.

omg.............. ???

frosted mirrors

not her spending time with well-known country music songwriters in Nashville. country accent, too. next album is country confirmed!

deserved at least 7.8.

i feel for Keke. but yeah. seems like everyone but her could see he was trash.

be the one is still the best song and single she’s ever done. and it was her debut…

it will count as a UK sale and the zoetrope is being sold on Rough Trade now. seems like there are actually 5k pressed, but reduced to 1k at the Blood Records store, and being sold elsewhere, too.

blank space? vigilante ****? karma? mad woman? i did something bad? lwymmd? everyone forgot that song existed?

clairo - sling

i felt the same until i read into the complete lyrics and some of Roisin's explanations more: What Not To Do: Tell me what not to do (I want to go outside) Teach me what not to do Show me, teach me, how to be Turn me into anything you need — A dark, meandering, disorienting opener to the album. All about wanting to be instructed, lead, or submissive to someone. CooCool: "I've lost it...", muttered as the intro to the song about falling head over heels in love. The Universe: "The universe at large is playful and terrifying. There is no discernible sense to it. The story that is always being told is on multiple levels, levels we don’t see or understand. The experience of being alive is to be continually reminded of how utterly unaware we are of what is really going on all around us." Hurtz So Bad: Did I ever disappoint you? Did I disappoint you? Did I get it wrong? Did I get it wrong all along? You were sending signals You sent certain signals to me Post me a bomb And if I open it, I'm gone, gone, gone Blowing pieces to splinters He plays me so hard He plays me like his guitar He plays me so hard He plays me like his guitar — Very specific language here, about feeling guilty and insecure and wounded by the man she loves. Oddly violent lyrics about how he'd been sending "certain signals" and him mailing her a bomb, which would result in her body exploding into tiny fragments, or splinters (since she's "in pieces" already). Also, played so hard/like a guitar ... she's nothing but an object to him. Like her character on the cover, etc. The House: — So again, a song based on a couple who move into a psychotropic house affected by mood, previously lived in by a couple involved in a domestic violence murder. (And the woman's husband was the defense lawyer for the murderer.) Fader: They won't choke the life out my vain jokes The fun'll go on, oh, oh yeah I'll meet my maker sometime a little later And in the meantime To you l belong There's no pain without the gains of feeling something true — Bear with me, but she paints the first verse with an oddly specific use of the word "choke", then references death, and belonging to someone, because even when it's painful it feels "real" or "true" to her. Genius breaks down the pre-chorus well: I'm your favourite baby, this could sustain me You should play a love song - you can't play a love song, why? — Implies conflict, or unreturned/withheld love. Free Will: One of the most telling tracks, IMO. Almost every lyric applies. I don't believe in free will What do you take me for? Because when it comes right down to it We really have no choice at all There goes my autonomy 'Cause you're around And I am powerless now Would you give it back to me? Gimme the feeling that I'm in control? I can't conceive of free will When you hold all of the cards I used to think I have my own life I would delude myself That I was going my own sweet way Holding on to me Holding on to you We don't know how it's going to be But we just keep holding And getting into you You're getting into me And there is nothing we can do But to fall right in Falling into you Falling into me I could not foresee Falling into When it comes to you It has been decided I don't have a choice But to fall right into you Ain't no such thing as a free will Maybe we're just all blowing in the wind Call it fate or a destiny I've come to terms with it getting the better of me You Knew: Don't come the innocent boy Admit that you've got your motives You knew exactly what motivates me I bеlieve the rеcord will show this You knew — All about frustration/confrontation/emotional imbalance/power dynamics between two people. Can't Replicate: The things that you know about me Nobody else knows about There's a place where you are reach into me Nobody else goes there You must see something within me And nobody else sees it, no It's odd I should run into you Just as I'm getting ready to run away I was waiting for something, that thing is you But, baby, you found me, before I found you I let you see deep beneath the secret Believe me, I eat, I sleep it I need you, so don't you keep it I love you — Kind of trippy lyrics here about deep secrets, someone keeping tabs on her, planning on running away, codependency, knowing she can't replace him because he knows her too well or too much, there's no one else like him, etc. Idk. It's a bop, though. Two Ways: I'm not gonna fly into another rage Not tonight I don’t wanna kill you with the fright I don't wanna kill you with it I know you could deal with it Put a little feeling in it Dive down in it I'm gonna let you drown in it Every secret's safe with me Baby, this'll stay between You and me for forever Take it to another level Ah, just ways to make you smile In my mind Ah, two victims of our time Take me back Ah, hard mountains left to climb But I'm going out like that Ah, two ways to pass the time In my life — Again, shadowy lyrics with coded language like "rage", "fright", "kill", "drown", "victims", keeping secrets, death, escalation, and making a pact with someone to stay quiet, even if they only have "hard mountains left to climb" and she's "going out like that". The scrapped artwork for this track is pretty telling, too: Eureka: Just cut away Like I'm made of clay What the doctor said When you're underway Just cut away Like I'm made of clay You can see That there's something 'bout me If there's a cure, I'd take it all Just put me out In the darkness Take this thing From me I don’t need a love that is dead and gone — I actually find this the hardest song to listen to because it makes me feel so weird/unsettled. But anyway, she uses a mysterious, scary health condition (in this case, likely a cancerous growth or tumor) as a metaphor for her relationship. She uses blunt, graphic language like "just cut away like I'm made of clay", which possibly shows how numb she's become to violence. Feel free to make fun of me, but I think the album's lyrics/themes are really interesting and were completely overlooked due to the controversy. The singles did a good job at throwing people off to make it seem like an upbeat summery album, but I'm of the opinion there's wayyyy more here under the surface. The whole album makes me feel kind of uneasy now, tbh. I still enjoy it, though.
