coming around a little on Melatonin
Great song
Bro Empty Stadium is craazy
This album is crack bro ngl lol
Twentyfive Eight best song on here imo
Yeah bro s*** is crack
I probably already said this but she coulda sold Pillow Fight lowkey. That one's actually my least favorite single. It's not bad tho. Doja would float on that easily.
It's actively ass
She needs to do a standard sit down interview. Curious what led to this and deviating from the trilogy she had in mind.
Its interesting to see her lean into the glitzy pop angle while being on a smaller label/distributer vs when the machine was behind her. Would love to hear her expound
And yes I recall the s***show Ebro interview she had but Bigboi’s was pretty solid in contrast to whatever the f*** Hot97 was on at the time
Wtf happened with Ebro
sunglasses overrated .. (makes for an intriguing beat~intro, falls short as a compelling song outside of that) but listening to the album in full turned me more charitable toward it
too easy easily the most dull track on here (incredibly safe, worst kind of generic, dumpster juice hook, little progression)
only became a genuine fan in 2023, but empty stadium / flashbacks reflect my favorite kind of sound from her (moody, introspective, somber, relatively downtempo). could take an entire album of this, uh huh, red flags, getting no sleep, etc
i'd rather be alone very much has the dna of generic radio pop but the subject matter is poignant~Love a good ballad
crash out is a S-tier bop through n through +the west coast energy is felt. i get the whole "just me" aspect of the project but a remix of this with schoolboy q or az chike..
disagree that pillow fight is bad.. like at all. simple, catchy, cute, soft, intimate, playful. the aphex twin-esque piano makes it feel like a spiritual sister to blame game lol
(s/title track) popstar feels like a cross between imogen heap and perry's last friday night (t.g.i.f); i dig it
brainrot calls to mind that particular ilk of tiktok sounds in the past few years (e.g., aquatic ambience) so i wudnt put it past that being intentional. felt apt
from the heavy percussion to the lo-fi sample, cloud 9 damn near feels like some cities aviv s***. kinda fascinating in that way
always enjoy when an artist makes the last track a drastic detour from everything before. probably a remedial guitar loop to someone more fussy but idc im eating it up. like cole2 said, i'd take a country~dream pop album -- and i dont doubt this clears watever the boogeywoman just put out lol. reminds me of cudi's 'troubled boy'.. maybe it's an aquarius thing.
very ambitious album for her at this point in their career (first solo billboard hot 100 placement, simultaneous resurgence and a bolstered trajectory that could very well take her to unprecedented heights); creative freedom no doubt encouraged by her newly indie~label break status. liked that a lot of this felt somewhat post-apocalyptic vignettes; like .. hedonists, on the dancefloor of a dying amerika~pop culture.
the intuitive sequencing also makes the supposed lack of cohesion forgivable to me. navigates the breadth of its sonic landscape pretty astutely; acc helps melatonin and nobody wanna dance anymore stand out more because of it

sensing prevalent kelis / britney influence
kinda wild how withholding this scene is; like the amount of good music u'd get from kelela, rina, yaeji, etc collabing smh
wondering if that clip of her smashing the car is for the crash out vid
she sounding like mariah a lul bit on pillow fight
imagining prime 50 / pop smoke rappin onnat jont
