[A&E]

Well... yeah.

There's a new soundtrack song. It's a very different vibe for her but I like the rawness of her vocals.

Liked by Jack. Is something new on the way? Do we need a thread?

This album is still as hard-hitting as it was three years ago. Very excited to see where Annie wants to go next.

Is it bad that I don't want her to go back to Jack? I adore Masseduction and more or less all of Jack's work, but I just feel like she is beyond him at this point.

Jack is the type of collaborator who can really take on the vision of the artist he’s working with, for better or worse. If her vision is clear, then she’ll be able to make the most of both of their abilities.

I don't need another album with Jack either. I think her albums have gotten progressively better but that's still a very thin margin.

She doesn't have a bad album and I'm so excited to see what's next. She's wildly creative and one of the most accomplished musicians in contemporary music.

This sounds superficial but I'm also here for what hair she brings out next, will she ditch the curls again? Wild dye color? Interesting stuff

Lowkey expecting some prominent TERF bangs on her next album cover. Bookmarking this!

The mileage she’s gotten out of this record is iconic. Shania and her four-year Come On Over campaign better watch out!

Before pressing play: Ughh more remixes and variances from this album
After pressing play: Gorgeous! Show stopping! A whole new world to listen and live in!

Ms. Clark has confirmed a new album out late spring/summer next year! Between her, FKA twigs, and Lykke Li the alt gays are gonna feast in 2021

 

[Cutlery]

Interesting to read she's changing direction after the way she was escalating her aesthetic, visuals, etc with the self-titled album and especially Masseduction. I know whatever she puts out, I'll stan.

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

My god that article has me EXCITED! St Vincent filtering Stevie Wonder and Sly and the Family Stone!? A rebuke of building a facade and bringing it back down. She really nailed her entire aesthetic with Masseduction so I'm confident whatever this next step is, she'll stick the landing

 

[cpr]

She really excels at everything but I'm really looking forward to seeing her sound and aesthetic pulled back. Teenage Talk was a really great and understated track and would be a great blueprint. I do need her to step into Pop Star Mode temporarily to do a duet and performance with Dua for Future Nostalgia Side B where they give us part two of their Grammy performance.

 

[enjoy]

I am excited! While i loved the album, i am so glad that this era is over. It has been a long one

 

[Euphoria]

I forgot how fun of a listen Masseduction is front-to-back. It's quick, varied, creative, and sharp all the way through. (Smoking Section is a bit of a downer to end the album on, but that's my only minor complaint.) Who can deny Pills, Sugarboy, Happy Birthday Johnny, New York, Young Lover, Slow Disco?

Honestly, I think I may have overlooked the album when it was released, or had some slight fatigue from the hyper-neon-plastic campaign she had going for it (I tuned out a few months after the album was released), because now I'm enjoying the album more than ever. I'm pretty sure Daddy's Home will be my favorite from her because everything about it is right up my alley and then some, but she just keeps on getting better for me.

It's funny you wrote this comment because I re-visited the album yesterday as well and I totally agree. I do worry that it's given me high hopes for the new album when I feel like the lead single is good but not great.
