Fantano doesn't deserve such an awful fanbase. It's the weird result of somehow becoming way more famous than your niche subject matter calls for. A lot of them are here for Fantano but don't have the same understanding of music required to actually break down and understand it

[@Mooksz]

I love that the screaming part is sampled from her yelling at geese

[@LISE_NR]

oh dude no way 😭

[@で作成されました2020]

oh wow THAT's why that old thing always keeps popping up in my recomended right after I listen to this song

“cischet white girls trying soooo hard to be the next Sophie” after i read that I was so angry I punched a wall so hard I broke my hand and didn’t even make a dent but still

It's so embarrasing that they probably think they are a big sophie fan but don't know that caroline and sophie exist in similar music circles

[@m00nrac00n]

"I Believe" is literally a tribute to SOPHIE. Those idiots know nothing. Its not called "trying to be someone", its called LEGACY - keeping it alive, if you actually knew the person and were close with them.

Why is his chat acting like SOPHIE having influence is a bad thing? Like it’s such a crime that her sound might live on through other artists, as if they know she wouldn’t have loved that

[@cockidk]

i refuse to read the chat cos they're like losers but i sorta get what they mean, if to say that distorted voice soundbite that gets repeated throughout the song is kinda boring and derivative (ew iknow) and gives me the impression they made a song and decided to awkwardly shove it in at the last minute because the rest of the song is kinda plain.

[@davidkonevky7372]

Exactly, i'm sure sophie would feel happy if she inspired others, specially if it's a friend of hers

[@justinborland3325]

@@cockidk I don't think the song would work without the soundbite, it's the centerpiece of the whole thing and I don't think it sounds shoved in at all. The soundbyte is what she's saying "dang" to, as if she or the character she's playing is talking to someone who's complaining on the phone but not really listening, so just saying "dang" to everything, like an empty "that sucks"

[@m.i.c.g2246]

Because right now américans are obsessed with gender identity. The comments are insulting and sexists, and they show how far we have gone by enslaving art with a vision that put éveryone in boxes. Sophie would have been proud, they were good friends.

[@smurfette_blues7922]

Right? Honestly I don't think I've heard any other artists that have made songs that give homage to Sophie's music. When I first listened to dang it gave me fond memories of hearing faceshopping for the first time and that's beautiful dammit!

[@illusionofartYT]

Do people in chat not know caraoline was close to Sophie and helped influenced her sound? Lol same with danny and Cecile believe who produced ans super close friends with Sophie. They were all around during the beginings of pc music. Makes sense why it has that sound lol

[@b_delta9725]

Chat only knows about the music they are "allowed" to like, because they are afraid of hearing music that's not considered the top of the state of the art and publicly admitting they like said music, aka they're idiotic kids. They'd never give a chance to Caroline if Fantano didn't do it first At the same time, they want to have a compass to find pretentious music, but again it's a compass based on insecurity and insincerity, comments in chat like "Caroline wants to be a quirky girl 🤪" can be found in every video like this, they don't want to enjoy art, they don't tune in to enjoy music with fantano, they wanna be part of a circlejerk where they pretend they're finding the "right" music to hear

[@sadoklajmi]

Guys... I love this song so much but like, it's really not that serious, people can like n dislike whatever the fuck they want musically ,u thinking that a song or an artist is genius does not mean other people should think so too just remember that it's music at the end of the day n if it doesn't evoke any emotion in someone they have all the right to dislike it

Caroline and SOPHIE were friends who actually worked on a couple of tracks together back in 2019, though those are unreleased. SOPHIE's collaborator/vocalist Cecile Believe co-produced this track (Dang), and Caroline has another song on this album dedicated to SOPHIE (I Believe).
