    i love the album so i’m not saying this negatively (and am probably being dramatic) but this album is sad as hell. some of these lyrics sound like a cry for help

    My twin finna have me listening to the album totally different now. I thought we were having fun.

  • herald

    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

    Great review

    examples please

    Brainrot

    (Brainrot) I'm nothing but numb
    (Brainrot) So sick of fake love
    (Br-brainrot) Everywhere that I go, it's amazing
    Guess money can't save me
    I don't wanna die no more, uh
    I don't wanna die no more, uh
    I just wanna dance all night
    I just wanna rage with my friends, I'ma do it for the plot
    F*** around, don't even care

    Heavyweight

    I been, I been holding all this heavy weight
    And I don't wanna bend until I break
    I can't carry it now
    And I been holding on so many days
    And I'm not strong enough to ever say
    I can't carry it now
    It's weighing me down
    Think I'll probably always be stuck in this position
    Doing s*** you didn't ask of me
    What happens if I did it?
    I know everyone relies on me to keep it all together
    And I'm killing myself tryna make it better
    So I just work hardеr
    I'm the oldest daughter
    And nothing's еver gonna change

    Twentyfive Eight

    All I want to do is what I was meant to do
    Spendin' the days and nights climbin' the ladder to nowhere
    Get so emotional thinkin' 'bout who I used to be
    If you win the rat race and you come in first place
    Then you're still a rat (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

    Popstar

    All the boys seem so shallow
    Everyone wanna be famous
    They all move here tryna make it
    Growing up here, you get jaded
    Social climbers ain't my type
    But I do know how to fake it
    I can make myself participate to get a seat at the table
    Still, I dress it up, but it's all a mirage
    Gonna park my 'Rari in my parents' garage
    They romanticize it all 'cause the weather's always nice
    If you wanna sell your soul, then you gotta pay the price like

    all of empty stadium
    all of i’d rather be alone
    all of crash out

    seems like this album has more of those sadder, nihilistic moments wrapped up in glitzy production ala being a popstar

    I don’t get that vibe at all lol.

    this album reminds me of Hopscotch. like Hopscotch is a bop but it’s always been depressing as f*** to me in the context of the album. very much this
