You are so right for inviting the pitchfork reviewer to just listen and try vibing to new americana and closer without fear of cringe xD. Maybe he did forget what it's like to engage with art just for the sake of trying to connect with it and its creator, cuz what ever happened to just enjoying the earnestness of art pieces, allowing yourself to be touched and see parts of yourself in their works + vice versa, even if u share vastly different experiences T__T
I imagine eing employed as an article writer to review songs might feel like your music-listening experiences are constantly under surveillance hsjsjsj. But what more for artists like halsey and their song-making experiences, where they bare themselves out in the open and get public opinions posted about them on the daily?
yes very true. i think sometimes the pitchfork reviewer mindset is awesome and sometimes i think that there are unanalyzed biases towards certain eras and musicians like halsey, who i feel needs more people to fight for her work lmao. i do feel sympathy for having to write reviews for music in such a fandom-oriented space in such a scrutinized way, but also yeah, i think it's also hard to be an artist in general LOL!
Wonderful as always! I think Badlands is an all timer pop album for me so this made me very happy to read. I really hope Halsey gets to read this, someday somehow ^^
