Update:
Anitta new album, Funk Generation, will be released on April 26, 2024.

The single “I Wanna Be” feat. Sam Smith from Anitta’s new album had its release canceled. The music video, a mega production with a carnival theme, was already recorded and ready, but was reportedly canceled due to Sam Smith's rebranding.

If Chromatica had been delayed even further because Ariana cancelled Rain on Me I would have snatched her ponytail with my teeth

All of this because Sam allegedly trying to clean their public image after the Gloria era and by the leaked pictures from set it was a provocative mess like that era. Guess now that it doesn't work anymore there's no much pride left as it looked like during that era

Sam really going to try and whitewash their career back to mid 2010s when they were just a sad lonely gay singing say lonely gay songs??

They/them, but regardless, their content is bland and stale anyway. I doubt a rebrand will change anything

Sorry will edit post, was not aware. I don't think Sam will be given the luxury of being able to revert the sex-positive branding they had

Why is everyone calling that era messy? LGBTQ+ people should be supporting their sexual freedom, not hating it. I don't get it.

I think the biggest issue with Sam's "Sex-positive" era is it felt far too much like a stunt as opposed to an actual political statement. At least that's how it felt for me personally, partly because of how very alien it seemed to Sam's image before & after the era. 

Like with Kim Petras it is very on brand, when Madonna released Erotica it came after years of highly sexualised performances and overtly politicised music.

because it was messy, the same way when miley started twerking i didn't like that either i just found it annoying  it just doesn't work for them specifically imo it just felt try hard and slightly cringe

Hope they rot. They clearly want the gp to like them again, but gp is so OVER them.

Very sad to hear about Sam. Love a rebrand but also hate their (alleged) reasoning

And the fact that Sam can't even keep that pride for the era and now trying to clean that image, why should we "support" it?

Try to look at it without hindsight. You didn't want to support it then when you should have.

just because sam is gay doesn't mean every queer person has to like what they were doing
