i absolutely love her down and think this is some of her best, most beautiful work. i don’t see many talking about this album as much as her others. her voice is gorgeous here, of course. there’s an ancient, all knowing quality to this record that isn’t as present on her other ones. also hands down one of the cuntiest album covers i’ve ever seen.

Hands down one of my favorite songs ever, for sure some of the best musical work to come out of the 21st century. This song is raw yet euphoric, confident but wounded. The guitar intro is crazy, Weyes spits bars the entire track, and the outro is remarkable. The influences are clear but Natalie adds an entire new level of intimacy the modern music industry is scared to accept. She's a modern day Joni Mitchell when referencing skill level, in my opinion. I really do love it and its my go to when someone asks: "What should I listen too?".

ugh i love this artist, she is so cool and all of her projects are honestly so pretty. This is my favorite album she’s ever dropped and like idk it makes me feel heavily. i rly like “i just want someone to look me in the eyes”
the album is calmly dark (in a shadow work kinda way, not an evil dark)

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
