that line struck me as weird this year too & i couldnt parse it but im willing to believe it was just a coincidence

she's been writing songs her whole adult life - id caution against the idea that this song was written in reaction to or even around the rise of obama
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 4 January 2009 21:53 (fifteen years ago) link
what does that line about 'her whole adult life' have to do with it jordan? i'm older, i've been listening to music my whole adult and child life, she decided to get tough using the year's main signifier and it happened to clang harshly off my ears. it's actually WORSE if she is just singing another song about her poor artistic struggles, does she not have any other topics?
enough. my points are like this: 1. that's how i heard it so that's how i hear it; 2. my not-liking of that song is PART of why i don't like the album; 3. i might be wrong about this BUT WHO CARES. certainly not her, she's from brooklyn, SHE GOES HARD.
also it kind of pissed me off when she said that anyone who thinks she's r&b is just racist and lumping her in with r&b because she's black. what, is she a music critic too? ew, gross.

relax man - just like you're throwing out the possibility that it's a song about obama im throwing out the possibility that she wrote the song before obama/hope was really a thing

jordan i just wanted to understand your point. i guess now i do. but don't worry, i'm really really relaxed right now. thanks for the advice though!

whos said shes R&B? but to be fair, you could see how someone might hear some of the beat-driven tracks on the album and make the link.

I just recently saw the video for Creator, the one song I really like. It's one of the worst videos I've ever seen
In general I think the MIA comparisons are apt not only sonically, but because she has the same half-assedness about her vocals and her persona -- actually much more half-assed than MIA on the latter.

Lyrics of that song are also annoying - "I'm creative! I break the rules!" also "I run the streets" - wtf does that even mean when she says it?

First time I've ever heard that. I knew Santi had worked on some of Ashlee's songs, and kept meaning to go back and check into it. I LIKES.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 20 August 2009 22:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Had this since around the year it came out. I really didn't get it. Thought it was half cooked pop rock/MIA wannabe bull. However, listening to it on the way to work and realized it sounded great as a whole. I mean it's influences is worn on its sleeve still, but at least I "get" it now. Plus I tend to forget that MIA is a half cooked Neneh Cherry so it all evens out.

this music is just fucking terrible terrible shit, don't even put neneh's name near this thread

― lilsoulbrother, Friday, 5 March 2010 15:58 (fourteen years ago) link
And plus, it's hard not to bring up Neneh since she is one of the obvious precursor of these two women.

Agree with others. This song is great and it has that "Oh wow of course these two should do a song together" thing to it. I was worried Santigold was going to be an indie one album wonder.
