Very cute! THIS is how you do a project with mainstream appeal while still having personality.

lol I've been a fan of her since her first EP. I just meant for this style of music.

I think the issue is this and Twigs project to some extent is both execute a vibe so well but SONG wise? Not too much there. None of these songs could really hold their own weight if performed acoustically, for example. I'd argue the entirety of ROL could. These songs sound like the instrumentals came first and lyrics to match the vibe came afterward. I still love this project (and enjoy Twig's, apart from the weird feature from a N*zi's daughter shoving religion down our throats) but I don't think they are too much beyond fun pastiche.

I don't understand steroid users. It's like they want everyone to perceive them as mentally ill… which is just bizarre.

God this is horrendous. It's like watching paint dry but even worse than JUST being boring, the vocal processing is abhorrent. Like why???? She has an alright voice so why not just let that shine instead of making it sounds like AI?

Here for this! Her debut had great ideas but the execution of the production always felt a bit flaccid and didn't go hard enough. I'm sure AG and Finn will help give it a bit more OOMPH and hopefully Charli as well.

This is great! I DO agree though that the production (like a lot of her music) is the main event... so I'll give my tens to the producers but her contributions throughout felt more like backing vocalist and vibe curator. Doesn't impact my listening experience negatively because overall this is still a really fun and exciting listen but I don't thing she's a particularly talented song-writer, singer or rapper. That said, Hymn is SUCH an earworm and while I can't really remember any other song specifically, I'm sure I will soon. I love this era of music so I don't mind the pastiche of it all. May seem dated in a few years though when everyone inevitably moves on from the trend.

I like it!! Love the Oizo sample. Just not crazy about the vocal filter on this and everything from this era.

IF this were the case, I wish she'd just say so. Because every single that comes out it just feels like "ok but when's the album" and makes the single feel less satisfactory

This is GFOTY C.H.A.D. coded and I LIVE

I think Taylor has some great pop music. Honestly, most of her work pre-whatever TLOAS is. The issue is the stan base. And my point of lumping her in was that due to her weird hate for Charli (which led her to write the horrendous Actually Romantic) which has led Swifties to hate on Charli.

oh... kinda here for it then tbh

I don't think it was a 5D chess move or even remotely genius lol but a lot people in this thread are just taking it face-value from her as being sincere when it's very obviously satirical. This is still a dumb fun pop song, like everything else posted on this site at the end of the day.

Hope it's a banger and not a soft little "yuh" ringtone thing

It's so very obviously her tongue-in-cheek but also earnest response to BRAT and y'all are taking the bait lol
