Applejuice

I just had a random thought. It's late night so forgive me I'm not trying to be controversial. I love Through The Wall and feel it's her best work to date. And I'm loving the reception it has gotten, she is building an organic movement with the touring and people sharing her songs to their friends. My only thing is this dance queen label they keep attaching to her. I find it cute don't get me wrong, but I also feel like they are trying to place her in a box. She has only been a "dance queen" for this era. Her previous era she did garage music, before that traditional rnb, before that lofi music. I feel like Rochelle has so many sides to her artistry that I don't want the fans to convince her that she now needs to stay in this lane going forward. I just saw how some fans tried to box fka twigs into this Avant Garde figure and she got backlash when she did electronic music. Anyway these are late night thoughts don't take this too serious.

She claimed in her documentary that the music industry is evil thats why she left, but she also used her free will to collab with nicki minaj so...

I managed to get it, her london show was the last day before payday but I saved £50 just for this show because I wanted a signed vinyl. I went to the merch stand before the show but they said the vinyls hadn't been brought down yet so we all had to wait til after the show. I was surprised it was selling at just £30, I thought it would be more. Others in line said the same. I knew the line would be long so I rushed over quickly as soon as the show ended and got mine before it sold out(I'm assuming, I dunno how many they had in stock but the line was very long behind me.) I took it out when I got home and it looks awesome. At first I kinda wanted the clear vinyl, but I knew if I bought it online not only would it cost more money but it wouldn't be signed. Having said that the white looks really good in person, even better than the photos so I am pleased I waited it out. Oh and her London show was phenomenal, body was tea. Lots of us were there solo vibing it out. Sometimes her mic was a little low and it's like she was fighting the backing track to be heard. Let's not be mistaken the vocals were live and in full effect. A little disappointed I didn't get to meet her after the show but I understand she is getting bigger as an artist and the shows are super packed now so she can't mingle with us the same way.

Will she get a budget for this album? It has been apparent Parkwood lets her do whatever she wants since they don't have to fund any of her projects.

She seemed to have a big underground buzz a couple years ago. What happened? It can't just be the label dropping her because most artists with genuine support are still supported when they go independent.

The falloff is real. Had she achieved US solo stardom she would never have acknowledged LM again. Perhaps 20 years later in a lifetime documentary. Now she is a FLOP she is desperately clawing at association once again.

I know the music is good but how is she getting so popular? Her engagement on social media is crazy, her youtube videos get decent views. She is doing all of this without a viral moment or hit song.

Lily Allen can't even sing. I'm convinced people liking her new album is a government psyop to test the power of peer pressure marketing.

Wow she did it at every show? Natanya if you are reading this please chill with this attitude. It doesn't do you any favours. The crowd even made a noise like they felt sorry for her and that's not the energy you want to give. I don't know behind the scenes but potentially she turned off Ravyn who could have been her ally and maybe a future collab. Other artists also see and hear about it.

OMG I think I was at the same show, London right? I know she went across Europe with her but I remember her saying how everyone turned up just for Ravyn and not her. I found that kinda cringe like girl its unnecessary. She put on a stella performance and converted me to a fan. I think maybe she should keep those kind of thoughts to herself or at least reserve them for twitter. I see she talks a lot on there. In person it can be taken the wrong way, especially by Ravyn who was happy to expose you to her audience. Plus she's only 23 and from what I can see has been putting out music for maybe 3 years, and already is getting big looks, I genuinely thought she was in her 30s grinding away for at least a decade. Think Ravyn just blew up this year and she has been going hard for ages. She is getting very popular on twitter and being so interactive is helping her build a stanbase. It helps the music is fire. I can deffo see her becoming the next big alt act out of the UK. I'm not sure if she will ever be mainstream in that sense, I see her more as a FKA or Kelela type which is still a huge deal, but she is early in her career so lets see.

I think its started listening to Spotify in 2017. That is only on my laptop. I have never paid for the app. With Apple Music I used a 3 month trial then stopped using it. I still use free Spotify on my laptop. On my phone I use youtube.

I heard people say she's a good actor but what memorable role has she starred in? That avengers role was very boring. I felt vindicated when her solo movie bombed.

There is no official version with all songs included since some have been removed. Unless you mean you want someone to share their own curated tracklist that contains everything?

Do people here really not like Wanderlust? That song is so heartfelt and a perfect album closer for me. I don't understand it's removal.

All of this is confusing. My head hurts. I just want the album now.
