Ego is giving me Pale Waves (complimentary) and melodically is one of the best songs I've heard from her. The singles do sound good together, and her voice sounds less... affected? I'm definitely interested to hear how she ties together 18 songs.

I think it comes down to the fact that the main influence on a large part of visual culture in the past decade, especially the print and pop world, has been amateur fetish photography. Loads of photographers and art directors essentially just rip-off obscure online fetishists. For the publications, it's often a matter of "how can we get as close to erotica/porn, without it being labeled (or sometimes even perceived) as such?". At times it's really obvious, other times maybe less so. Pop images being titillating is nothing new and the line was probably always blurred with erotica/pin-up imagery, but I think people have been trying to tap into stuff that's maybe a little more subversive, or fun/funny (as is often the case with food play images), yet can still find an audience with the...you know...hornier contingent.

Wish I could think of more examples off the top of my head but stuff like this...

It's also very prevalent on TikTok dd. Stuff you see that is really weird, only to find out it's actually fetish content. Addison Rae's video for "Diet Pepsi" gets into all this as well.

All of the songs we’ve heard so far (though not all instant) have all been quality. Hearing them together, they just work, and I’m really interested to hear what will fill in the gaps.

I’m confident this will be another stellar album to add to the incredible list we’ve had this year. I also love the standard cover.

Ego is another great single, I love how she uses her voice on it. It’s always been distinctive but she’s been really perfecting it and delivering on that front lately.

Ego is really good! I think her current sound is fairly jumbled, but I guess that’s also kind of the point dd.
