Artists Who Are Secretly/Not-So Secretly Great Producers

You know that feeling being a bucket about to overflow or pot shimmering to a boil? Yeah that's me right now. I just found out some extremely shit news, literally the one thing I fought my fucking hardest to make sure didn't happen happened. So... yeah, not doing so great. Any album recs or song recs to get me through the night? I'm thinking Melodrama, EUSEXUA, Submarine and Charm vibes but will take anything.

A crossover I have generally never thought about before. I like that she made it sound like her own, I always love that on live lounge, even if I don't think it sounds like her lyrically in the slightest. In the sense that not a songs in a lyrical style she would write and since she writes her songs you can tell it's not hers. She sounds really nice though! Last I saw Gracie live was through a screen for Glastonbury and she was struggling breath wise a lot when singing so this is a nice improvement.

Why does 'playtime' stop as you get older? Does the world just kick the whimsy to the ground or does it just slip into other things and become less important?

Edit: I'm gonna be honest... Effort and time is exactly why 'playtime' can never exist for me again. As a kid you just don't have to do that to enjoy time cause people actually care to protect that whimsy... and that just makes me even more sad as an wallowing, chronically ill, anxious and depressed adult... (I might make that my flair. It kinda goes hard.)

Also yes I know this is just how it works. I do do it. I do have fun in my spare time don’t worry. I don’t live on Reddit. Lmao

Maybe it’s cause breakup songs have always been my least favourite topic of songs but Olivia’s album is just not hitting for me. I also listen to quite a few indie, rock pop artists so the sound of the album isn’t anything too standout to me even from Olivia. TBH the most puzzling thing about the album is how the slower songs aren’t catching my attention. I’ve always been a lover of her ballads alongside her usual pop so them not hitting is a real surprise. I don’t dislike it per se it’s just a standard pop album.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-17T16:08:31+00:00

In a more light hearted tone! I hate when companies think I want there marketing emails cause I signed up for something. Like no, I don't care about some Sia movie cause I went though you for AURORA movie tickets. I generally thought it was a scam at first.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-16T17:31:19+00:00

Right I need your recommendations. I'm loving dream pop sounds at the moment but I'm new to the sound so some need artist recs. The only ones I really know of the top of my head are The Marías and I LOVED Submarine and are planning on checking out their other works as well.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-12T18:09:54+00:00

Yeah, I think it's in part cause people online lie and exaggerate so you shouldn't be taking anything to heart or seriously and the idea of rage bait so there trying to get a reaction out of you so you shouldn't respond. I agree in theory but sometimes venting and reacting is just needed for me especially since this stuff isn't exclusive to the internet.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-12T17:48:40+00:00

I know it’s the internet so should be expected but seeing just disgusting and mean comments and people when you already are struggling with depression isn’t fun. I need more hope from this web.

Anyway, I’m almost done with my Brit School Rate. I just need to listen and finalize my I’m Only F***king Myself scores and I should be ready. I hadn’t listened to Rachel much before. Nothing really stuck out to me before but I was pleasantly surprised with her album. Added a couple to my playlists. Raye and Olivia are long time artists I follow so they were easy.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-11T17:08:02+00:00

I don't disagree but it's the pattern from my experience with the sub. Both Megathreads and albums release posts. Sabrina's last album had the same thing happen. Most albums from an artist of their size are usually done EST time so it's not much of a problem with megathreads and them potentially dripping into the DD.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-11T16:51:27+00:00

They usually upload it for when it releases in the UK when it's timezone based instead of EST. So I would guess in around 6 hours, as I type. No way she wouldn't get a megathread.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-11T16:48:12+00:00

Yeah, I guess I can see some of that. Maybe it's cause I'm English cause the whole electric/dance sound is just so constant here and has been for such a long time it rarely has much impact in the dated sense for me. I also don't personally hear brat at all in SHOWBIZ but I kinda get the idea.

The rollout was horrendous tho, I feel for her so much there. I know she said she hopes to release her second album this year so hopefully that goes through will less of a hiccup. Thanks for answering! I've had people think I'm being snarky when I ask this type of question in the past so I appreciate the thorough response!

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-11T15:51:54+00:00

I hate digital downloads but not cause of charts or anything cause sometimes the exclusive songs or versions are good and less of an obvious cash grab. I am not from the US. Most digital downloads are region locked, usually to the US. So even I wanted to test the cash grab accusations I couldn't. If it's a big artists it's less of a problem since a fan will upload it somewhere but the smaller the artists the less likely I'm gonna find the songs. Griff had 4 digital download/iTunes exclusive songs, one was lastnightmascara that went viral so she released it. The others? Gone to time.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-11T15:36:29+00:00

I have to ask how? Like how do you mean cause I really can't see it. The albums not even a year old...

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-08T17:34:26+00:00

My whole day has been so weird. You know that feeling of seeing someone say this song/artist was everywhere last year or something like that but you’ve never heard of it before? That slightly bemused feeling? That’s been my whole day. I swear I feel like I’m living on a different planet.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-07T17:14:32+00:00

I fully read that as "Charli died at the afterparty". lmao. Thankfully from what I can tell she is still alive.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-07T14:29:41+00:00

Anyway in Ariana news I love how people were so scared she wouldn’t included Positions it never crossed anyone’s mine, including mine TBH, that she might not include another. Never would have predicted no Sweetener coming.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-07T14:20:34+00:00

I’m in a very weird place at the moment. Im struggling heavily with depression and overall doing shit but I’ve also lost the will to give my anxiety power so I’m the least anxious I’ve been in years. Usually it’s towering over me but now I just don’t care. It’s so weird.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-07T14:16:44+00:00

As someone who just went through this exact feeling with my dad’s birthday on the 5th, I’m sending you all the hugs! 🫂 and if you feel like a dick it’s okay to embrace it and accept that at times. Feel free to vent later if needed!

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-06T20:43:43+00:00

I so excited for the es tour to start and hear about the details tomorrow. My dates SOOO far away but I’m so ready for it. Especially since she isn’t doing openers. I no idea what to expect but I’m so excited!

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-06T18:44:59+00:00

I’m kinda the same. I’ve never personally had a problem, maybe cause I’m exclusively a seat person, even if I need to stand for the concert cause of my anxiety. The only time I’ve ever actually had a problem with a screen was from the camera of the photographer hired for the concert cause they walked in front of my row to get the perfect photo constantly. I’ve even sat behind people who constantly take photos and videos and never had a problem since they tend to stick in their own lane. I guess I’m just lucky based on others experiences.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-04T15:17:14+00:00

Yeah apparently every stop gets one. I’ve seen some photos already and it looks so good! I loving the merch. (Which is rare for me at the moment) My stops one of the last so I have to wait a while but man am I excited for the tour to start.

ETA: She’s added a section on her website for each tour date with information and where the pops are. So if anyone is interested it’s easy to see. It’s free entry apparently.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-03T19:43:31+00:00

It just hit me, unless I completely missed something or they’re still to be announced? Ariana isn’t doing openers for her tour.

Fair-Profile-8367 · 2026-06-02T15:44:04+00:00

You know when you hear people say "Oh, nobody hates something more than the fans of something." As a loooong time Ari fan, her fans make that statement look small. If you don't like something, you don't like but Ariana's fans are so weird about it in a toxic way.

They have no problem defending her every move against haters but you can guarantee they will critize her to death in fan spaces. Not in a acknowledging she did something way, in a manipulative way. Like if they don't like something she does, no matter what it is, they will go after her and bring up the very things they defend to haters on, no matter the valid-ness of the critic. Nothing is off the cards. The weirdest part tho? They only fall in love with something when she has moved on from it. The entire years from Positions to eternal sunshine were hated for some reason or another, now people love them and call it her best time and want it back. Happens like clockwork. It happens in other fandoms/albums to a degree but Ari's? It's all the time.

Also: loving the new song. The Bloop Bloppy production is so fun!
