I want to see the Amy documentary again. The fact that it grossed 11 million dollars with minimal promotion and Local Ani could barely muster up a million for her massively publicized Cake.
I feel like I'm going to hate this song whenever I care about it enough to listen.
Also, lmao: trap influences are super popular. That'll make a song a hit nowadays.
That's not an excuse in Lana's favor but, frankly, the inverse.
Yeah... Love Lana and everything but High By The Beach is hardly "experimental". Maybe for her, it's something slightly new, but in the grand scheme of things? No.
she's huge and that album is great!
You can't expect an experimental, trap-influenced song to chart too high, anyway.
