GOAT back for her spot late 2023/2024.

L4 L4 L4

not playing any snippets. when she builds the hype for that first single and i press play the night it drops...history begins again

Hi mr atlanta

I’m afraid I did and I enjoyed it

My favs from Solar Power are Mood Ring, The Path and the title track

i still remember exactly where i was for my first solar power listen

im also a stan
more of pure heroine guy than melodrama ngl for me that album is Kanye esque in that way it turns a ton of different more niche influences into this generational pop album that can connect so deeply to its audience
both are incredible tho and 100% agree that it gives her a pass - ill be listening to everything she ever puts out just off how strong those two albums are

but my issue more w that album is that it hurt her potential to be this generational artist like a Kanye or Frank who just seems to have this innate ability where making music like that is easy

agree on the psych angle I think antonoff while talented is also not conducive to maximizing her talent because a large part of her talent is her ear and thats gonna be maximized by working w different producers and bringing different sounds together instead of committing to a sonic direction w one guy

there's some good stuff on there but I think it made me think that while she's one of the best songwriters out - she's not Frank level to where she can construct unbelievable music on these fairly minimal fairly drumless canvases like he did on blonde

Stoned at the nail salon is a great song

hmmm i'll say this

my favorite ella song of all time is buzzcut season and partially being is for the dancehall/island influences within the production (never hear anyone talk about this btw). that being said i'd be in for her incorporating those kind of sounds more prominently throughout a record because i believe she'd be able to do it tastefully.

also, the lyrics in which she was referring to ecstasy give me the vibes of something like a magnets which is super underrated and i'd also love for her to do stuff in that realm as well.

i'll never not check for lorde because of the headspace she's consumed in terms of my music listening since the first time i ever heard royals (🤢). however, i do think one can be weary of her after solar power... even if some of y'all wanna say that album is underrated or whatever it's still seen in the eyes of most as a gigantic step down from her previous work.

Agree w all of this
Buzzcut season is a 10/10 song definitely top 3 lorde for me and maybe even 1

I think she can do it well too but I hope she take a less obvious route than just straight reggaeton rhythms bc that just feels like a label decision

Also I’m just desperate for artists that are willing to make dance music to make some in different sub genres (house, dnb, garage particularly)

Would love more disclosure collabs

yeah it definitely does cut into her mythos unfortunately, again, i would’ve loved to had heard the OG album lmao—and yeah Antonoff gotta go man he’s been pretty steadily ruining Lana’s post-NFR output as well afaic, idk what it is that he’s exactly doing but it seems like he’s largely responsible for the hyper-minimalistic approaches that both Lana/Lorde have gotten criticism for

also very good observation that she’s way better at capitalizing off of multiple approaches to music versus locking in with one dude didnt even think of it that way

and yeah Frank Ocean is definitely a special breed in the sense that he doesn’t really need a bunch of crazy production to make extremely touching and moving music to an extent, i kind of feel like Lorde sorta touched that ground a little bit on PH with songs like Ribs and/or maybe A World Alone (?) but she definitely is at her best when she’s on that electro-pop s***

we’ll see what she does this next cycle

lorde dropping pure heroine at 16 is f***ing ludicrous though lmao, literally insane man

the writing is so mature for her age it’s crazy, olivia is a pretty solid writer but even she has her moments where her stuff is a little too angsty or teenager-y, lorde didn’t deal with any of that s***

let alone the album itself has a coherent identity versus SOUR containing some blatant song rip-offs (although i think they’re pretty damned good regardless)

mythos a great way to put it thats exactly what im getting at

yea I think that its a disservice when you have that kind of ear/voice/songwriting talent to not branch out on the collaborator side

agree Lorde def has her moments of getting close to that level but even those songs have a level of action on the production side above the majority of solar power that lifts them to a different level

ya im excited she's still a special artist and im always gonna be checking

yep its absolutely mental
Olivia is a great example bc she is an incredible songwriter too but her output even two years more mature than Lorde was is not really comparable aside from moments

She's going to do it again isn't she ?

Wait a second

WE ARE BACK

why did she say this isn't "the start of anything" then start performing new music live the next day. these artists! lol

“aoty guaranteed” more like more generic trash for teenagers guaranteed

please tell me all those Lil B threads is a long running satire thing you’re doing lmao

why are all your posts like this

are you okay? it's seems like you have some personal problems going on in your life that makes you act like this all the time

Hello friends. Please do not interact with the trolls!

Not official names yet.

She's quirky and unique, don't you see?

melodrama and pure heroine are personal classics but solar power was so bad i haven't listened to her music in years
