Sleeping in the summer sun and recycling

Its just a very subdued and slow album. An extremely different album from her first 2

It's pretty uneventful overall but I don't think its bad. But I also don't think I can hold it up to PH or Melodrama

The Path and Mood Ring are the only tracks I really like.

yup

She definitely fits better over electronic production, her voice isn't captivating enough for this acoustic style

the two bonus tracks are really good

this her TPAB

someone come get this man.

SECRETS FROM A GIRL

what

Also I listened this morning out of order unknowingly and thought big star was the intro. It worked tbh

idk if i've just been listening to a lot of folklore/evermore but Secrets sounds like Taylor to me

and I love it maybe my fav song so far

I just don’t get why artists like Lorde that are so good at picking unconventional production that progresses in weird directions as songs develop pick to do albums like this that throws all that out the window

That’s something I appreciate about Kanye. Sure he throws the quality of almost everything else out the window sometimes but he’s very aware of that ability he has and he never ever lets that slip

This still feels weird thinking this is the same artist that made Melodrama

And that's not even really in a negative way

Only songs that really hit for me the first time outside of the singles were Dominoes which came and went and Oceanic Feeling which went on way too long. The sonic textures of the album are so close to something really interesting and just never quite flourish. The lyrics meander and aside from Stoned at the Nail Salon (which literally sounds like a f***ing Lana track from Chemtrails that I can’t put my finger on) don’t have any of the classic Lorde “click” moments.

I wanted to believe so badly that all of the negativity around the early reviews was overblown, but god damn it this just completely let me down on first listen.

But this is good

her voice is really captivating even over minimal production imo
But over darker production like this

And the falsetto she’s doing here just doesn’t work for a whole album by any stretch

I will shoot you you my man dont do this

I couldn't even write up a paragraph about this album it's so uneventful.

I've clicked on snap stories and hardly realize that I'm pausing the music

If you told me a few years ago that Lorde and Robyn would make a song together and it’d be mid somehow, I’d laugh in your face. But here we are

You wouldn’t dare

Hope the sun shows you the path fr 🙏 🌞

without s***ting on you or Taylor it reminds me of Taylor partly because it’s so cliche and unoriginal lyrically lol
