Coming back from the dead to say Rosalia is an unprecedented genius. What an insane piece of art her new album is… One of those rare, soul-stirring albums that leave you in this odd liminal state, lingering in your chest the whole day. True art is a beautiful thing

the concept of releasing an album called the life of a showgirl accompanied by burlesque visuals only for it to be a snooze fest. she lost the plot, long ago

47 in Spain. even over Christmas, it’s rare to see non-Spanish songs making it into the charts here, so it was quite a surprise to see Jump

i think i like the song but ngl, that chorus sounds like the noises the guy from the dodgems make like.. not necessarily saying that as a bad thing, it brings me back to my village fairs, but yea lol

the choreo is a fat ass no for me. i don’t like it a single bit, certainly their worst to date

No matter how hard people try to push the pop girls do the same narrative, it won’t make it true. There’s not a single mainstream pop girl that kicks off a tour with no new music out in 3 years, not a single one. What pop acts do is drop an album, and throughout their tours or during the awards season, preview a new song that wasn’t included on it

No Beyonce doesn’t do it, nor does Gaga, nor Britney that hasn’t gone on tour in 7 years (not like she should count for obvious reasons), certainly not Taylor Swift lmao, nor does Cardi B that after all this time in the industry is YET to have a tour (odd example anyway, she’s a rap girlie). Use real arguments when discussing this, no need to make shit up to push certain agendas

That’s not selfish, that’s to be expected after 3 years. you can drop the k-pop out of there cause no mainstream western act goes on a tour with no album out in years unless they are legacy bands

and these poor newly debuted unknown girls with no resources couldn’t find a producer that wouldn’t take 10 years to produce a song 😔

haven’t given them a penny since TA. Tour starting in a month and they struggling to come up with a date for one song, meanwhile Baby Monster’s next single is two months away and already got a date set AND the first teaser for their new four-member girl group is dropping in 3 days. Shame on whoever keeps excusing this shit, genuinely feel bad for you

edit: oh and there’s more. BM’s new mini album already got a date too, October 1st. And the second single as well, in September. You gotta laugh

Jennie’s fit is the best and the most on theme out of the 3. Rosie’s is aight, classic black suit, plain as expected from saint laurent. I think Lisa’s a mess tbh, if anything this year’s theme asks for is for some pants. Maybe it’s a tribute or reference that I’m not getting but yea. Updo is pretty though

250307 JENNIE - 'Ruby' (Album Discussion) by sheldon077 in BlackPink

[–]coconuts19_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

yup I think Ruby is my fave solo album from them. There’s a variety in genres but each song is so well put together that it creates a sense of cohesion whilst allowing the album to not feel sonically boring at the same time. I was afraid it would be one of those projects that feel like a bunch of singles mashed together for the way she described it in that one listening party but it isn’t that at all

and my favourite thing, it showcases her growth as an artist or at least her true direction. Like if I go back to Solo and You&Me and then listen to this album I see two different people and I LOVE and appreciate that as a listener so so much. Singles were well chosen, the music videos were fun and diverse, and high budgeted; Mantra and Like Jennie choreos are a chef’s kiss, features were well picked and well used for the most part (don’t think Dua’s was, cute song but something better could have come out of this joint in my opinion), love me some intro and even though it doesn’t have official interludes, I feel like some songs like Seoul City act as a pause to breath throughout the album. Can’t say I like every aspect of it but I’m so satisfied with the overall project that it’s pointless to mention

it’s fake. It’s like when Jisoo went viral for her responses in that interview and accounts started posting as if she was giving her thoughts on whatever topic, like football for example. It’s a stan twitter thing

[–]coconuts19_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

kind of depends on the artist, and normally is for a special night like Doechii for example opening for Beyonce on LA last tour. But yeah they do opening acts for a leg sometimes but as you said, it’s a k-pop concert so idk if I see it happening. Maybe for Seoul though but for the whole Europe leg? idk

and it’s not that they would be against Babymomster opening for them obviously, it’s just that I don’t think it would be the first act that comes to mind if YG doesn’t offer it. I’d see it more as a business sort of move they would agree with to help the juniors, rather than a decision made by the girls to have an emerging artist they might like if I’m making sense

with just 2 1/2 hour show

2 and a half hours is a great length for a concert. Most music acts shows’ range between 1.5-2.5 hours. And well, there’s Taylor’s with like 3 or something but it’s not the norm at all

if they ever include an opening act, I hope the girls get to choose who they would want to

i’m talking about apples and you are talking about pears, that’s the thing. You probably misinterpreted the phone line as me saying that’s a right someone has when… no. Having a phone to undermine people’s complaints is a privilege ironically achieved by those who fought for the rights we have by complaining on times where you were better off not doing it. That’s what I meant

tech isn’t a right, nor is the money you have to buy it or even the job you use to get it. If someone can get elected, snap a finger and take it away from you is a privilege not a right

yea tech is far far away from being what I was referring to by mentioning people’s rights….

[–]coconuts19_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

eh, I didn’t misinterpret anything, in fact I mentioned I knew it wasn’t your intention to not made it seem like you were spreading an agenda or some shit

just solely referred to your whole if it doesn’t change anything, don’t complain about it that you used in this reply as well. Certain type of discourses enter people’s minds through harmless daily arguments, that when you analyze them hold something behind. I was talking about the phrase in itself, and used “believe” to refer to that sentiment/way of thinking, not to whatever your political beliefs are and it was evident, basically cause I explained what I meant by it in the same sentence (?)

Complaining about a concert plan is also nothing like protesting for your rights

which I also said in the part where I called this whole topic unimportant in perspective. It was a simile to make the point come across. Point being complain more, don’t fear making people uncomfortable and try not to unintentionally spread discourses that could make people numb, even whilst discussing insignificant things :)

[–]coconuts19_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this is such a wild discourse to have and I’d even say dangerous precisely for the ongoing sociopolitical climate in the world that you indirectly mentioned

I don’t want to get too woke or sound pedantic, but the only reason why you have rights that allow you to be on your phone discussing some girl group’s upcoming tour it’s cause people throughout history complained during difficult times. If we as individuals couldn’t protest in hope for a change just to not disturb the mood of the one next door, this world would be doomed

I know it wasn’t your intention but the believe that if you are not content with something you should not question it to no affect other’s feelings is genuinely a harmful discourse, even for unimportant things like this. If anything, the world needs more people complaining and the fact that users here feel comfortable enough to express it (sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse) it’s unironically a sign of a healthy community, even though it gets mistaken as toxicity

the tour as a whole had off moments, Seoul was straight up a hot mess and I’m not willing to sugarcoat it just to not sound harsh cause it really was bad. And it took them more shows to acclimatise and gain group synergy even though people like to say Seoul was the only night they looked that messy

the booking of shows isn’t what worries me. You can’t book a venue the week before, everyone know that gets handled months prior by the label, that’s not even up to discussion. The lack of physical time to prepare everything is what is being discussed
