This one is perfect corny melancholic fantasist music. its lionel richie heart fm on the radio on the uber home with heated seats. looking out the window and mumbling responses to the drivers boring pleasant questions. shop signs gliding across the glass like glowing fish. names in lights. corpsey in his own film again, succeeding and sad about it

What struck me about him initially was how heavy he leaned into the social nihilism of the moment. Lots of talk about your-ex, getting drunk/high to become 'the real you,' toxic relationships being the only ones you're interested in, things that are 'owed' and 'earned' between men and women, texting/social media games and at its darkest a kind of socially accepted date rape. All really embarrassing off putting stuff but completely intoxicating to the fans. The highs of social toxicity. Some of these themes are universal and present in all eras but it's given this ultra modern dressing that I think is historically significant because I don't pick up on either the specificity nor sheer focus in past eras of pop music

maybe a few beautiful Brazilian people tuned into a higher and simpler plane. They’ll be smiling big beautiful white teeth and dancing along and we’ll be watching on envious thinking you stupid gorgeous cunts this is apocalypse music

It’s very least cool era MJ which is my favourite era because it’s when I was obsessed with Michael Jackson when I was 9 or 10

He makes loneliness music, he loves 80s poignancy because it’s ultimately about loneliness enforced by the machine, hes another bird who loves this cage

Do you think this is just incidental to his success (as a giant pop star, not an edgy rnb guy) or are the masses responding to this because the masses are lonely and scared

I don't listen to lyrics in songs so I don't even notice what he's talking about

I’m not even thinking about lyrics too much more tone and texture but yes I do think you can discern these elements that place a voice in time. Listen to sam Cooke, people can’t sing like that now if they tried, they wouldn’t even want to try because it’d be out of place
