Hey "Femme Fatale" is not bad at all! I wonder who produced that one. Though it sounds more Siouxie than Kate Bush, maybe?

I don't know that song, but if she did it Siouxsie-style I'd be into it.

In one list, she namechecked the twins from Suite Life, Deerhoof, and Buffy Saint Marie. That's too real to be sculpted by any PR team.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 29 July 2010 05:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Anyway, she writes good songs (not named "17" anyway), and I'm sure she didn't pull ideas out of thin air. She's probably a crate digger.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 29 July 2010 05:12 (thirteen years ago) link
17 has potential but it's not right

Stand Back definitely deserves a good present-day cover, maybe even by Sky Ferreira, but this one was done ALL WRONG.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 29 July 2010 05:32 (thirteen years ago) link
It's a cover? That's why it sounded so familiar!
― the subject of many men’s thoughts (daavid), Thursday, 29 July 2010 05:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, Stevie Nicks.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 29 July 2010 05:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Aha, you're right, the original is much, much better. Still like the Sky one though.
― the subject of many men’s thoughts (daavid), Thursday, 29 July 2010 05:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Whoever produced the Sky cover is obviously more rooted in club production than radio production. That BOOM BOOM BOOM beat sort of bludgeons all the charm out of it.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 29 July 2010 05:43 (thirteen years ago) link
"one" is terrific. i totally wrote off sky at first when i saw "17" playing on mtv, but wow, "one" completely changed my attitude about her. i hope the album is good!
and yeah, it seems like they're doing the ke$ha/"tik tok" approach for "obsession" -- build profile 'organically' via internet/myspace, etc., then unleash guaranteed-smash single late in summer, release officially a bit later, then let it slowly conquer airwaves just in time for the enormous post-christmas sales. it's probably a fucking dr luke/benny blanco prod. smh. (i was listening to the radio on the way home tonight and heard three dr. l/bb produced songs back to back. that is fucked up.)

I actually appreciate that it sounds a little like really late-period Talking Heads, especially during the verses. Her vocal and numerous overdubs are fine, but it's probably best this never gets a commercial release.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 29 July 2010 06:05 (thirteen years ago) link
You mean as a single? I think it would still make a decent album track.

Anyway, I found a zip file of some demos, etc people have collected from over the past year or so. I vaguely remember hearing about her a LONG time ago, when she was still just a Myspace buzzword, but I don't remember if I actually listened to anything on her streamer.
Some of this stuff is good ("Femme Fatale" for sure), and some of it is really, really underdeveloped ("Almost"). afaict, this album could go either way.

Thanks to this thread revive I searched for a second-hand CD of NTMT. I thought the copy at my local record store was outrageously priced at NZ$12.95 but then checked Discogs... Oh my... Immediately added to my cart.
The vinyl prices are next level. Discogs at its best.

Took me a decade to be aware of it, but this album is pretty cool. Wish I had been aware back then, 25 year old me would’ve loved it.

idk, theres like pages of ppl talking about why they like a thing and imago stumbles in like "I deem this great, now that its entered my line of sight" a decade later on multiple threads...its kind of grating & self important
― xheugy eddy (D-40), Monday, 29 August 2022 18:35 (one year ago) link
setting aside whatever beef you have with imago, it just makes this place seem less inviting when we're shitting on people for being enthusiastic about a thing in the appropriate thread just because it's arbitrarily deemed the wrong time. it's easy enough to just ignore if it isn't pleasing to you.
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Monday, 29 August 2022 18:50 (one year ago) link
Is it really that different if I had posted “this is a cool album” 10 years ago? By that metric every time anyone on ilm has expressed excitement or approval of an album they’re being grating and self-important.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 29 August 2022 18:53 (one year ago) link
Is it me, or does she look like the love child of Debbie Harry and Kristen Stewart?
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 29 August 2022 18:58 (one year ago) link
It kind of wouldn’t be ILM at this point if we didn’t have imago arriving on various threads at least once a year after a big poll to bestow his canonical blessings like an off-planet Soto who’s been thawed out from cryogenic deep freeze.
― Tim F, Monday, 29 August 2022 19:00 (one year ago) link
Xpost: yes, but she has that chameleonic model thing where depending the era and the photoshoot she looks like different people. I’ve seen photos of her where she also reminds me of Rihanna.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 29 August 2022 19:12 (one year ago) link
Also reminds me of Katherine Langford in some photos.

Not just you — this is from the Guardian piece linked above: "In Spain, her extremely low-energy stage presence conjured a vision of Kristen Stewart playing Debbie Harry."
That article also makes it sound like she's still not doing great. If she does actually release the album, I hope she's in a mental/physical state to handle all the stress around it.

Why won't Capitol just drop her? I can't think of anyone who's been bound by a contract as long as she's been while the label sits on almost everything she records. 99% of the time they just shelve material and say bye.
