good god if you can’t hear the last ten years of pop music blossoming so perfectly by her will. my ipod hated to see me coming for the digital drop. i do think the pop auteur thing continues to be such a wonderful look on her - she made the most perfect collection of contemporary pop music videos ever and now everything feels comparatively postmodern. and of course there’s lemonade... which i know fewer of you have watched than i’d care to admit. please go do that! it’s a totally different form, excellent in a distinct and singular way. alas. here lie the hits! a whole other language and one she breathes so effortlessly. do you have this in your itunes library? do you have history with this record?

ok i have revisited it since then but it’s been a while and when tristesse/joie came on in the natural wine bar the other night i suddenly regained my will to live and man this whole record fucking rips. i found it originally when MTV was featuring ‘je veux te voir’ nearly constantly in 2009. les femmes is also a really good song

basically the only piece of art from the 2010s aa tennis skirt era that has aged tastefully which is a testament to skys talent and ability. drunk as fuck just put on youre not the one and started crying like it really is that deep idgaf what anyone says ❤️❤️❤️
one of the greatest pop records of all time (imo! which is heavily biased but DEFINITELY one of the greatest pop records of the 2010s). sky has yet to follow this up cuz she knows yall aint ready. tired of ppl joking about her being a ‘has-been’ when she’s literally worked with the jesus and mary chain david lynch and primal scream. shes an artists artist <3

Very fantastic and delicious pop album. I revisit it every couple of years when inevitably one of the many bops gets stuck in my head and I’m never disappointed. it’s always a fun time. Mind you- Ariana was 19 when the album was released

there is little more british than grave robbing i’m not sure what to tell you. as for the appeal, consider the innate proclivities towards divadom endemic to homosexuality… ahhh yes. my mother (biological) put me onto the first of many mothers (figurative). used to plug in another controller and let me convince myself i was doing shit. her cone bra built nations. i thought i was going to be a game designer before anything else. she’s the beyoncé of video games and her IP holders need to remember that

I have a miserable relationship with my corporeal form but very little else in the world can cut through that like singing does. It’s a such a physical and embodied practice, forces you to be so present within yourself but so free. At its best it feels like flying and at its worst it provides the impetus for self improvement. It’s one of the only things I love doing just for me. Which feels ironic somehow
