which is to say: i didn't think she had it in her

she dances like her dad

She looks just like him!

I like that song.

This reminds me of Me Phi Mi, like dayglo afrofuturism.

Into this but I must register my disapproval of her unnecessary double trad grip snare drum miming.

erm i just saw this and wtf

it seemed like it was going to be good for the first 30 seconds but i don't like it

yeah that went : | pretty quick, but at the end of the day i love it for being so aggressively weird/dumb

there's a surprise

Οὖτις, Friday, 11 December 2015 18:19 (eight years ago) link

it is for me! 'why don't you cry' and 'F Q-C #7' are both pretty great. I'll have to try myself.

ok this album is bizarre

HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 19:30 (eight years ago) link

it tries very hard to give that impression, and it's definitely not boring, but i cringed so much during it. (her delivery is especially try-hard)

cher guevara (lex pretend), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 19:45 (eight years ago) link

mostly it made me think about how very easy it is to give the impression of being a strange weirdo, and how easy it is to conflate that with seeming like a genius auteur

cher guevara (lex pretend), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 19:46 (eight years ago) link

there's something very honestly 15-year-old about the album that i appreciate. she's definitely had a singular existence, yet the lyrical themes are echoed by my students (with different particulars obviously), and the music's veering between grinding and soothing is very adolescent-brain.

maura, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 19:55 (eight years ago) link

was gonna say that i would appreciate "try hard" from willow right now, she really SHOULD be in that state

Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn”? (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 20:26 (eight years ago) link

right, i appreciate it as an artefact of a teenage mind with a lot of ideas, but i don't think they work as music or songs much. wouldn't be surprised if she works out how to do that in the future, this feels very straight-from-mind-to-record without much editing process

cher guevara (lex pretend), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 20:30 (eight years ago) link

okay going in

Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn”? (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 20:34 (eight years ago) link

yeah, this is a mess. but an endearing mess! not so much so that I want to listen to it again tho'.

i guess this new song is actually old but i hope she makes an entire album that sounds like baduizm!! http://www.thefader.com/2016/02/22/willow-smith-shares-jimi

one year passes...

So, The 1st, then. Far less WTF than the last album but still pretty singular. "And Contentment" is the pick of the bunch for me.
