It was a smart decision to make it a second single, as it performed very well, despite not having a MV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what she would've done with those visuals. Remember the 3 album covers? Because the song has 3 hooks. It would've been otherworldly. In her fashion she showed us two versions of Venus/Aphrodite. The beautiful goddess of love, Seashell Girl. And the meditative, other worldly, Distressed Aphrodite. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a damn mess off a single that started to generate a lot of bad PR hence why the music video was cancelled and it quietly became forgotten in the public eye ( I would be really surprised if she even ever performs it again since shes become so vocal about being a survivor of sexual assault). On the plus side, Venus was a fun harmless pop song that didn't feature a known sexual predator with a planned music video to be directed by another known sexual predator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go into some long discussion about the rest, but that horse has been beat to death. DWUW was a hit song...one that kept the album selling and was a favorite during the tour. It served its purpose well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
