Zane Lowe BLOWS me away with every interview. He has a talent to converse with people and draw things out in them that simply can't be taught. His questions are well researched but more importantly, they're inspired. You can tell he's REALLY listening and connecting with the person he's interviewing in a way that's so genuine and comfortable, that you don't even remember it's an interview. It takes so much vulnerability and WISEDOM on his end to be able to do what he does.

It's interesting to hear her perspective on what barbie was to her as a girl. She says that as a kid she didn't really think about how barbie was setting a beauty standard she wasn't part of. But as a little Asian girl in America in the 80s I did. I often felt a vein of resentment towards barbie and all dolls at the store, blonde was always the main product line with variations being brunette, and I resented that. I enjoyed barbie dolls and the fashions and the hair, it was decadent, but I wasn't white and dolls reminded me of that daily, and I thought I might never be as pretty as barbie. I'm glad this movie came out to help round out for society everything that barbie has touched on through the years. She's a toy and a fashion icon and a role model and a cautionary tale all in one. 👱♀️

When he mentions he line, 'Something you paid for' and goes on to say, 'You have to acknowledge there are different types of love' that was just like a hammer hitting an anvil moment for me, ringing out in perfect clarity. I'm currently dealing with a situation in my life and it's exactly this. It's not fandom, but sometimes the relationship between parent and child is very much this. A parent will love unconditionally, but for a child, even when they become young adults, it's still transactional, to a point. Especially when that child has very specific special needs or a diagnosis that feeds the dependency dynamic.

Beautiful song and video rife with themes of identity, self-doubt, and the pressure of expectations. The lyric "I'm not real, just something you paid for" paired with the way she examines and reflects on each outfit seems like an introspective exploration of her own identity; as if the various stages and eras throughout her career have compromised or confused her authentic sense of self, and she desperately wants to reclaim it. As if she feels more like a product than a person. My take is the tremor, wind and rain seem like outside forces and an environment trying to prevent her journey of self-discovery. To me, her picking up the wreckage and leaving speaks to her fight to reclaim her sense of self, leaving the obstacles behind in the pursuit of happiness. Such a beautiful, haunting and ethereal song.
