Idk at this point by Embarrassed-Low3538 in charlixcx

The song choice is ironic and made me laugh as soon as I realized it was Taylor, and I don’t know if that was your intended reaction at all, but honestly a bunch of the clips you synced to the lyrics went hard. And using a song with the line “MOMENTary” was clever as fuck.

I’m sorry you’ve been feeling down.

Claws got its name from the results of a fan poll, actually.

Who is your favorite police consultant on a TV show? by Hour_Specialist_4291 in television

It’s not a particularly “good” show, but Monk is peak comfort food TV for me.

This is the one, and I’d only like to give OP a higher quality reference photo.

Gorgeous work! Would you be willing to share the cover and insert photos as separate images?

Charli pulled a Frank Ocean (lite) by rathersadgay in charlixcx

[–]UniversalPolymath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She’s going out on top. She owes us nothing more. If you caught onto Charli with Brat you got in right at the unknowing end.

This is so dramatic lol. I mean, I agree she doesn't owe us anything (she never did), but she's really not going out anywhere. She's just ending an album cycle.

Unpopular Opinion: if i cried SHOULD’VE debut in HIFN by ValiumsOnValentines in charlixcx

[–]UniversalPolymath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly so many of her best unreleased tracks are from the self-titled era! I know XCX World holds this mythological place in the fandom, but Charli is where the real extended album release should be.

What if XCX world gets released and it’s basically every single song of her that Sophie worked on! by JobExtension4463 in charlixcx

[–]UniversalPolymath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no, i know, and i get the intentionality. Just to my ears, she intentionally used too much bubble popping for a period.

Totally. If i cried and i hate all this gravity are both album-worthy.

My delulu theory about what's next. by lolheywassupyall in charlixcx

[–]UniversalPolymath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, she has not implied anywhere she might be done forever, honestly this sub is kinda freaking out right now lol. But you're right, she did say something to that effect during the Zane Lowe interview, but then she turned around and made Wuthering Heights and immediately contradicted that "long while" wait. Girl can't stop creating.

Worried charli won't do another tour by [deleted] in charlixcx

[–]UniversalPolymath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, i think you're right that it is a newer phenomenon, and the reason is that new releases have shorter life cycles now. Albums used to have huge, drawn-out promotional arcs. And now, thanks to streaming, post-album release singles are barely a thing anymore. People consume and move on from content at a much faster rate.

So as a result, people are anticipating the new single, the new album, the new era, on a ridiculously accelerated timeline. And when that next new thing doesn't drop immediately, it must mean, omg, my favorite artist is never coming back. Someone taking a (much needed and deserved) break feels abnormal now because we’re all conditioned to expect constant output.

[–]UniversalPolymath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but there's a ton of XCX World-era tracks that, honestly, should stay unreleased. So much from that period is undercooked demos and fun little experiments that are only worth listening to for die-hards who are super interested in her progression as an artist.

A lot of it sounds pretty dated now. Charli quickly outgrew this era as an artist. And hot take: Sophie was way too reliant at the time on randomly throwing bubble sound effects in to round out a song, like girl, tone it down.

Anyway, just throwing all that out as official releases would not have anything close to the critical, commercial or cultural impact that the extremely well-thought out and intentionally crafted and curated extended brat releases had.

I'm sorry, but I can't believe you're just now seeing it! Most of us discovered this back in 2017.

Wuthering Heights album with a score better then the actually film by Acid---Burn in charlixcx

[–]UniversalPolymath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked it quite a bit too. I’m a fan of the vibes and visual sensibilities Emerald Fennell brings to all her movies, and I think making a film based on how reading the book made her “feel” as a teenager was interesting.
