idk something in me just changed when I listened to it all the way through she sings about anger, gender, physical and emotional pain, love and care, plumbing the depths of sadness and sweetness. the production is so layered and gorgeous (it’s also famously supposed to be the post-rpattz breakup album and I think having that narrative of how scrutinized and criticized she was during and after that relationship deepens my understanding of it, but doesn’t limit it)
New Laura marling album is masterful as always. I sobbed a couple times on my first listen. It is so lovely and refreshing and powerful to see a woman write so lovingly about motherhood. I want you to know that I gave it up willingly
Nothing real was lost in the bringing of you to me
I want you to have a piece of my maternal flame
Part of me, eternity, a tolerance for pain
I just came across it this morning. Surprisingly I haven’t heard ‘home with you’ before (I have weird ways of deep diving the music of the artists I love in certain eras, and ignoring others. With Twigs I usually ignore Magdalene). But when I heard the tiny desk version this morning I cried. It makes me feel every movement of my heart, slowly.
Genuinely forgot how good of a producer ARCA is like damn, besides numbers (Sampha u ate) she really worked on both songs like it was nothing. Ugh those beats genuinely scratch my brain in ways I can’t even comprehend, and OBVIOUSLY twigs gave a stellar voice performance, her head voice and nymph-esque voice 😍 let me stop myself right there bc this was supposed to be a short recommendation not a glazing ritual. TOODLES!😘
