FGGrayson 9,670 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 This is not to say that anyone should expect Sheeran—who is popular at weddings and funerals for a reason—to present a nuanced interpretation of gender politics within his songs (though his fans deserve more than depictions of women as angels or traitors). But more than his weak balladry, it's this disingenuous side that rankles. In the nostalgic vein of Lukas Graham’s “7 Years” and Drake’s “Weston Road Flows,” Sheeran’s “Castle on the Hill” yearns for a childhood idyll. It’s pure sentimentality, another key to how he uses humblebraggadocio and innocence to shore up his moral high ground over shallow girls and unfair beauty standards. On “Eraser,” Sheeran sings, “I’m well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me.” He means booze and drugs, but it’s his inability to reconcile his early underdog status with his titanic popularity that’ll ensnare him. Sheeran wants it both ways: artist and celebrity, nice guy who doesn’t want to alienate his fans with political convictions, anti-consumerist while gagging to dominate pop’s arms race. He’s the guy she told you not to worry about, and he’s wearing your clothes. SOURCE: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/22960-divide/ OMFG!!!

junolxf 8,654 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 15 minutes ago, Gov Hooka said: but what did they give Joanne, ARTPOP, and Born This Way Joanne (6.9) and The Fame Monster (7.8) were very well received. I think they didn't review Born This Way and ARTPOP. They're really harsh (snob) critics.
