Thank you 🫶🏻🍏

Periodt!

It’s just my opinion 🍏🤓

They are right tho Not necessarily escapism but something exciting Especially coming from an era that had good MVs like physical levitating break my heart & love again As a fan I expected way more frome the album cover to the visuals The only amazing things about the era are illusion visuals & the performances

Dua is my favourite artist, but I was disappointed by Radical Optimism. She promised that it would be “psychedelic” and “a tribute to the UK rave scene.” She had Kevin Parker to get it done! But, instead, we have another pop album. Some songs, like Falling Forever, are giving Eurovision. It’s such a missed opportunity! I wish that she’d experimented, taken things darker and trippy.

Yes haha! Fixed it in the description but couldn’t for the vid😭

To her detriment

But she IS a fucking cool Leo.

Thank you🍏🫶🏻

The clip of training season was suppose to be like the clip of *part of me* but they changed thats because of the actual wars :/

These are the type of decisions that can affect an artist career. Who assessed her about not using his video and Palestina support ? She lost so many followers , what a fail for her and her team

She always releases a deluxe version

As an artist, I’m ngl to you. It’s because it’s damn near impossible and it’s not even worth it. TikTok made music and everything around it extremely dispensable. This means that somebody will immediately move on after seeing something, so if you world build it’s unlikely you’ll get a return on investment when you could’ve just made content. So even tho I love world building, I see why it doesn’t work anymore. Audiences say they care but they really don’t lmao it’s dopamine addiction. Scroll scroll scroll. So even when people try it, it doesn’t work No offense in any of this btw, this is just coming from someone behind the scenes and why ur seeing what ur seeing I agree btw.

Rlyyyy I feel like Chappell Roan’s world building is just so good, she said once she started to world build that’s when she blew up!! But yes we deffo are In a different climate to a few years ago where ppl move on so fast🥲

@@ViDEOGiRLX2 I agree they’re definitely amazing at world building, but they also had to STARVE for forever in order for that world building to actually have a return on investment, when you have people making reels & tiktoks eclipsing that in a year (ofc it probably won’t be as sustainable as roan because they built something very solid) BUT it’s a huuuuge gamble when it comes to trying to be a successful artist! It’s like… do you want to eat now or starve for 6 years and possibly never get your chance because you invested in something that 90% of music listeners no longer pay attention to👀 I am so glad it worked out for Roan but holy, the other million artists world building did nothing for makes it a hard sell in 2024 Maybe when audiences attention spans come back ☠️

@@ViDEOGiRLX2 also, again not taking anything away from Chappell they’re amazing and ofc had to start over and over working as a barista and such, BUT, you HAVE to have a budget to world build. Roan got a publishing deal in order to fund her amazing world building If you don’t have the funds to world build you’re fk’d I’m friends with a few artists like Max Madly who is an Amazing makeup effects and media designer that can do worldbuilding all by herself But again it’s just extremely unrealistic unless you have a huge budget. And even labels now don’t want to invest in it So how is an artist supposed to world build with no world to build from

@@ItsQueViolettetotally feel you in terms of labels - so many of them sign ppl off tik tok virality and its not sustainable unless the artist is some marketing genius!!! I've seen it with friends who had viral moments, got signed and then were shelved by labels after the labels wanted them to keep making the same song over and over so they could go viral again.... its deffo is rough being an artist. I also think world building is what you make it! You can totally world build with 0 budget in my opinion, you just have to be xtra creative.If you are rich and have the biggest budget but 0 creativity the world building won't just appear! Like lana del rey's MV for 'Video Games'! I think that video is iconic and totally still works for her world today and was made with 0 budget. If being lofi and low budget is all you can afford, make that part of your world/aesthetic! so many people these days are trying to get the 'vintage' look with old camcorders etc anyway :) Getting labels to invest is the hard part these days tbh...but i have my personal opinions about labels haha and for the most part I think the only Label i really see believing in and building artists from the ground up consistently is XL Recordings! But yes working in any creative industry you usually have to starve and it SUCKS :/ but I like to believe that the ones who make it are the ones who just dont stop as long as it takes (not including the nepo babies lol) eg. raye, chappell roan, anderson paak, central cee, bill withers 🍏😊
