 alsemanche 87,497 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 New email from Lorde! Subject: A very busy little girl! Good morning to you. I managed to escape the city. Work the last couple weeks has been a blur of interviews, photo shoots, trips to 30 Rock, the whole bit. I keep having this funny sensation of being INSIDE the internetâ I feel the actual aspect ratio of the Youtube video Iâm making, like a doll in a diorama. Feeling more settled though, and doing lots of funny fun **** every day. Right now, Iâm here and I can hear cicadas.  Iâm really enjoying the deep weirdness and analogue nature of this outlet. I suppose one can think of it like snail mail social media, and if I were on regular social media Iâd probably be reposting the link to something Iâd been in, with a cute and not yet overused emoji or two, so â this is that bit. I was delighted and nervous to be a guest of VOGUEâs 73 Questions series. I think this actually turned out nice, and itâs a thoughtful interview. Itâll never be this but what can ya doâŠâŠ I also went to visit the Hot Ones crew! What a lovely man and a thoughtful, well-researched interviewer. We performed on Seth Meyers, which youâve probably seen, but here are a couple pics that Ashlan took at rehearsals and on the day. Sleepy person rehearsing at Electric Lady Backstage at Seth Thereâs a couple more merch pieces available for you to peruse. Available for a little while here We also did a little rooftop session 2 weeks ago at Electric Lady. We had plans to do a handful of songs but the fine warm day became a large storm, and we got through one take of Solar Power and had to tap out for fear of electrocution. Picked it back up the next day. I love both. Alright, thatâs probably enough for now. Iâm enjoying the paintings of Maria Clara Eimmart this week also this William Blake is speaking to me, and I read this interesting story about GMOs in the New York Magazine which Iâve thought about a lot, particularly this little image: âIn his talk, Baker noted that there are hundreds of kinds of berries in the world. But among those we commonly call berries, we eat just four: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Thereâs a reason the other varieties rarely reach us. Sometimes the fruit rots within days after picking (salmonberries), or the plant puts out fruit for only a few weeks in summer (cloudberries). Sometimes the plant doesnât produce much fruit at all or is too thorny or sprawling for the fruit to be picked without a vast amount of labor. As Joel Reiner, a horticulturalist at Pairwise, would later put it, âBerries always have some tragic flaw.â She had a busy week. More soon. Wishing you continued enjoyment of the summer months, and health and well-being for all your family members. Take it easy, but take itâ Ella Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is her art first and foremost and she wouldn't have released any of it had she not liked the end result. Both released songs are great and she seems very happy with what she's putting out. Her career is what she wants it to be, and I'm glad she's not just catering for stans and charts but releasing whatever she feels like releasing instead. That has always been how Lorde functions anyway. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all just suddenly became inept? Or did they work with a yes-man?  It's all subjective depending on your taste, but I can guarantee you that Jack will not be remember fondly.

Your opinion is fine but some people prefer these types of vibes.. I love the direction lorde took this era. But then again I'm an empath who grounds in the sun at the beach and gets stoned at the nail salon again and again... it's not for everyone for sure but to blame a producer for having a "sound" is a bit much.. I mean if you're an artist and you want a certain sound, then that's the producer you seek out. And lana lorde and taylor have all wanted to go for a more indie organic sound with all of their last album era cycles. I hope you like the rest of her album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Vincent, Lana, Taylor, and Clairo released career-best albums with Jack, and for your information, so did Lorde with Melodrama. I can't speak on The Chicks because I haven't heard Gaslighter, but referring to perhaps the best output that all these artists have ever put out as "inept" just goes to show your own close-mindedness more than it is any reflection on Jack's talent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lana released NFR with him which was critically acclaimed by almost everyone, then released Chemtrails which wasn't as successful but imo is still a great album and one of my favorites of the year so far. St. Vincent worked with him on Masseduction which, again, was a huge album and arguably her best album, and also on Daddy's Home, a very good album. Taylor did folklore and evermore with him lately (idk if he was on her previous stuff too) and both albums are incredibly well received and loved by fans and critics, with many considering them her best albums. Lorde worked with him on Melodrama, aka one of the best albums of all time both in my opinion and critics' opinions, and now she's working with him again on Solar Power, and it's way too soon to judge it because we only have 2 (very good) songs out of 14. Idk about Clairo and The Chicks because I don't listen to their music. So yeah to say Jack ruined their careers and suddenly they became "inept" with him is simply not true. They've released some of their best work with him. I'm not saying this as a Jack stan, I genuinely don't care for him personally and I've never been interested in his solo stuff, but clearly these artists feel comfortable and enjoy working with him, and he clearly positively contributes to their art. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ororo Munroe 59,762 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Some fo you had the same negative energy for Billie and her brother's production and works, were doubting their vision and hating on every song from Happier Than Ever before it was even released And where are you now? Crying in the corner, because album is amazing and one of the best of the year Stop judging artist's works without even listening to the whole piece And stop acting like Lorde should work with people YOU like and follow the path that YOU've chosen for her  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
