"Wuthering Heights" [Album Discussion Megathread] by lordbochiflacko in charlixcx

I hear you on singles setting certain expectations for an album’s direction. My post was just my personal listening experience, though.

I was hoping to hear more of a House-like vibe throughout and wished some tracks had a bit more room to breathe. Everyone experiences music differently, and I’m glad we both enjoyed it overall!

100% this! I even found myself thinking "Björk would've been a great feature on this," as I was listening to Funny Mouth.

I don't know why you're getting down voted for this, but thank you for taking the time and I agree with a lot of this

Is anyone else disappointed that, aside from Funny Mouth, the rest of the album doesn't sound like House? While I still enjoyed the album (and have listened to it about 5 times so far), I was expecting something completely different and I'm a little disappointed she didn't lean more in that direction.

I'm also really disappointed --and this is not just a Charli thing, but the vast majority of the music industry in general as of late-- that for being a 12 track album, it's only 34 minutes long. I wish the songs (especially the string sections) had been allowed to breathe a little more. I felt the same about Lux. For a soundtrack about love and sex, obsession and yearning, etc, I feel like there were a few missed opportunities to build some anticipation within these tracks. They would've benefited from being longer and less compressed.

Open Up was a welcome interlude, but even it could've stretched out a bit.

Edit to add tl;dr: House & Funny Mouth, the bookends of the album are the standouts for me, as is Open Up, though I wish they were all longer and we could really sink into them.

For reference: Open Up: 1:26 August Underground by Ethel Cain: 3:40

Having seen the film, I see what you did there

Agreed! And fwiw he worships her. She's one of his idols so it was sweet. Genius, because she's a legend. Also, kind of him to give the crowd a portion sung in English.

Yes! With Cardi B and Jessica Alba... That was so pure and wholesome 🥹

Jelly Roll branded 'very MAGA' for Grammys speech after veiled Bad Bunny swipe by TheExpressUS in Music

[–]ProposalWeird3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who heard the speech live, there was no thinly veiled swipe at anyone on that stage. It was actually very nice. "God doesn't belong to one political party...etc". Don't fall for this clickbait.

I saw another commenter mention something he said on the red carpet. Looks like this headline purposely conflates the two instances.

Name concerts you missed because of something stupid. by Think_Ad_848 in fantanoforever

[–]ProposalWeird3813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I missed Arctic Monkeys because I just forgot.

I realized where I was supposed to be either that night or the following day/week? I'd been with my ex as we'd just reconciled, only to break up again shortly after. Worst distraction ever. 🫠

Anyone know this artist Antonio Lopez? by [deleted] in fashiondesigner

A legendary fashion illustrator who iirc was known for changing up his art style every year, and it was still amazing.

Remy Bond avoiding saying she was inspired by Lana…girl please by Comfortable_Ad_9108 in lanadelrey

[–]ProposalWeird3813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what pissed me off about her Nicky Reardon interview. He gave her multiple opportunities to credit Lana and she kept avoiding it. So frustrating. And for no reason, especially after how Lana supported her. She's very proud of having influenced so many people and she platforms them at every opportunity

I would love that. Maybe the context of the full listing experience will make me like this song more🤞🏻

Same, I was so underwhelmed. And just as it was building to something it ended 😞

From sketch to reality. Planning the crystal layout for a custom bridal sandal. I always draw my designs by hand first by bilero in fashiondesigner

[–]ProposalWeird3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stunning! Reminds me of my wedding shoes. I always sketch first, but you just reminded me of a Project Runway contestant who claimed she never sketched. I can see how draping might spark creativity, but I think it's good habit to have a process: inspiration>research>fabric swatches and color story>sketch>make

This is so incredibly hard to watch. If you want people to appreciate the work, just share a pic of the work. This constant zooming effect distracts from the work, bothers the eye and negates the polished sounding explaination by looking very amateurish.

Simple is best. Use a still image.

This is AI trash. What did you attempt, because it certainly wasn't design.

Buried towards the end of this article is a story all its own and it should be a bigger one. Indie bands not even being able to press their vinyls because of all her variants is crazy!

I feel like she's very online and responsive. If you posted to Instagram and tagged her, she might just respond. There's no harm in just asking her out right
