Isn’t cuuuuute supposed to be prosuced by Frank Ocean?

Spoiler

I listened to the song and while I don’t know who produced it, it gave me the similar messiness/chaotic vibes from Arca’s work. We’ll see on the 18th once the credits drop.

Well I agree the visuals match the music but I was talking about both - it's all a mess:selena:

I just don't think she is fun or interesting enough as a person to pull off this style.

What made her an amazing artist was her incredible voice, her training as a musician and her great knowledge of different musical genres and cultures. EMQ was so great because she carefully crafted all of her skills and knowledge into something with so much depth to it (if you watch her instagram stories about it, it's really incredible how much though and care went into it).

I certainly wasn't expecting EMQ part II in terms of the modern flamenco sound, but I did expect something with a similar level of depth, meaning and maturity to it.

Well, she’s evolving like every other artist. EMQ will always be there for you to go back to if her newer stuff isn’t for you :shrug:

'Evolving' would mean she was becoming more advanced or mature. I think we can all agree that's not the case here.

Yes yes she's the artist and whatever, 'if you don't like it don't listen to it!!' but as a fan who's waited 3 years for this, I'm allowed to express my disappointment about it. She is a major pop star, this is a major release, of course people are going to talk about it, and not all opinions will be good.

Why should she become more mature though? She’s not even 30, let her have her fun era, she’s earned it. I’m personally enjoying this era so far, so no, we’re not « all agreeing ».

Reminds me of the Solar Power criticism. We hold these women artists to such standards… Suddenly, when they put out something lighter, it’s automatically considered inferior. Please.

I just realized that Diablo does not feature James Blake on the tracklist :partysick:

@La Rosalia Does he not sing on the track? 

Soft, soothing, and succulent

Yes he does but it’s minimal.

Well it seems you do agree that it is not more mature and advanced than EMQ lol.

 

But I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Personally I think when you are at that level, when the whole world is listening to you, you are working with the best writers and producers in the world, and literally millions of dollars are being spent to make and produce the album, there is no excuse for releasing garbage like Chicken Teriyaki. If she'd released this stuff as just a fun random single ok, but not on this massively anticipated and highly promoted album. I think these huge artists should be using their platform to put out something worthwhile into the world (and that can mean many things).

I mean, that’s literally you guys’ problem, not Rosalía’s… The fact that something is light and fun doesn’t mean thought and care wasn’t put into it. But yeah, to each their own, I guess!

Not feeling this new era at all, I doubt she’ll ever top her second album, El mal querer is a masterpiece.

If y’all don’t like something just move the **** on. I was so excited for Lorde‘s album. I was disappointed, posted about it once and you would never catch me in every single thread posting about it.

It ruins other people’s experience to be excited about music and come into a thread every single time to read how bad and trashy X thing is.
