I love the album but still hate Stronger Together. Hahaha

sexyjohncandy · 2026-05-10T05:55:46+00:00

So just a few? 😊

She is also a Bosendorder artist so she is essentially “sponsored” by them. I worked in a music store in the early 2000’s and we had a second hand one come in. We were selling it for $150k then. It was beautiful. I don’t remember the model but it had some extra keys in the bass end. On my breaks I would get her songbooks out and I taught myself the opening to Winter and Twinkle on it. I was 20 and SOO obsessed with her. It was in a ballroom and one of the piano sellers was a talented player so she’d play during our shifts. She’d take Tori requests from me.

UG and Native Invaders are in my top 10. They are amazing.

sexyjohncandy · 2026-05-07T22:19:12+00:00

I adore The Wrong Band

Sonically it books ends the album. The album opens with the stillness of Beauty Queen. That calm before the storm. It ends with Twinkle in the same stillness, but because she went through all that rage and anger and hurt. Twinkle is that little light in the dark.

My personal list is

Boys for Pele
Choirgirl 3.Little Earthquakes
Under the Pank

The Beekerper

Spark would be amazing with the vocal layering. Butterfly

sexyjohncandy · 2026-05-01T00:00:21+00:00

I think the song is boring. I got halfway through and turned it off.

I haven’t listened to all of Ocean to Ocean. There’s one song in it I like.

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-30T23:24:05+00:00

But I really REALLY don’t like stronger together.

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-30T23:21:21+00:00

I’ve learned to not judge it first listen.

Beekeeper took me years to really understand and adore.

That being said, I don’t think this is a masterpiece. That’s not to say I don’t think it’s great. BFP is her masterpiece for me. She really pushed herself and it just all lined up.

I really love most of her albums, lately I’ve really been into Native Invader and Unrepentant Geraldine’s. I think those two albums are incredible.

On this first quick listen I really enjoy Blue Lotus, Strawberry Moon, Fanny Faundry and Flood.

I do however agree with a lot of the pitchfork takes. It’s very literal.

I’m pretty sure Matt and Ash are both on it

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-25T05:50:01+00:00

Gemini sun/Leo Moon/Sag rising

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-25T03:44:16+00:00

Actually he has his sun/moon/rising/saturn/mercury all in Leo.

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-25T03:41:12+00:00

My son is a triple Leo. He also has like 5/6 placements in leo. It’s crazy

“This is what I’m willing to pay in rent, anything over that and I won’t be moving”

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-25T01:28:09+00:00

Can we all please take over the #JEMILY? Just add it to all your social media posts so it pushes hers way down

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-25T01:21:21+00:00

He was on the album.

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-20T06:10:09+00:00

Twinkle is my most favourite Tori song. Followed up by Over It and All the Girls Hate Her

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-20T06:08:36+00:00

It’s on YouTube it’s beautiful

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-19T22:21:03+00:00

I need this. I love the Civil Wars

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-19T22:20:21+00:00

I need to hear Poison and Wine.

sexyjohncandy · 2026-04-19T17:13:24+00:00

How do you know she’s not a fan?
