Yeah, to be honest, I get PR tactic out of that more than anything. And that isn't bad, that is what anyone in her position would do. She clearly doesn't like him.
Annoying that another week it would have very likely been number 1 . Still this great though Hot Pink I think went top 20 in its debut opening week so this is a massive step up . She will likely I reckon have more longevity than Tyler in the long run also .
They really kind of fucked up not having any additional physical editions ready, although I understand why that wasn’t possible. I’m sure she’ll be happy about this regardless, since she’s a Tyler stan, so she’s in good company.
Seems like we're getting a series of high budget Vevo performances similar to what The Weeknd did. Perched.
The album is good, very cohesive which is good and bad. It suffers from sounding a bit samey at times. Tbh I prefer Hot Pink as it had more experimental tracks, and felt a bit more playful. This feels, for better and for worse, like a produced album.
The album is so good! Kinda reminds me of something from around the time when Loud/Pink Friday and the like came out
I can’t remember which interview it was but she did say she wanted this to be more of a body of work and that she didn’t want songs that stick out like they did on Hot Pink (although I think there are still plenty of standouts here). I can understand why that might not be the vibe for some people, though.
This very much opened itself up to me with repeated listens, like positions. Yes, it's a vibe, it's a mood but I think that's the point. It's very rich and meticulously made if you take the time to immerse yourself in it. The Apple interview also helped a ton.
