Thanks for the update!

Damn that’s too bad, I thought it was really solid but I get why it’s not a blockbuster but still :(

No, he's a weirdo but there were lyrics floating around that people claimed were removed from the album, but that's dodgy imo; there's no verification that those are real.

When Millie proudly said that she and Drake texted all the time, I was like, "How are her parents and management team ok with this?" Then I remembered she's their cash cow.

I fucking hate that he sampled Right Said Fred because the Right Said Fred bros are anti vaxx covidiots.

Nooooo... Apparently they were too sexy for critical thinking skills.

That's what I thought, somehow he's massive on streaming

He's the male Taylor Swift to me, they both make catchy pop songs that get extensive play on radio and a lot of their discography is breakup music. There's always going to be a market for "heartache" and angst.

Lots of people don't love their ears. We knew this.
