Not us getting a new album, a short movie and a new song 
She's truly spoiling us 
I loved the short film. It really fit the theme of Fairy Dust, I feel.
Mess at her saying that she doesn't show nipple, but she masturbates for three solid minutes  I LOVE HER 
That new song sounds so good as well
Nnn, this woman

Now I am a HUGE Tove Lo fan. Like I consider her one of my top tier favorite artists. Her first album is easily one of my favorites of all time and INCREDIBLY underrated. And all of her features since then have been well on point and I really love that it seems she has made her image very distinguishable from the bottomless pit of mainstream female artists who blare electronic synths and insist that their music is "deep," and I'm VERY happy for her and how far she's come. That being said I'm still failing to see the appeal of Lady Wood.
Queen of the Clouds was FLAWLESS start to finish and had real, RAW emotion with songs like Talking Body, Moments, Thousand Miles, Habits, This Time Around...so many songs that I could really relate to that truly resonated with me. AND it had incredibly catchy melodies to boot. It was perfect. Lady Wood just feels like a ton of electronic noise with no real substance or emotion that I got from QOTC, and this time it seems as if she's just trying way too hard to be sexual and shocking with the title, cover, general surface etc but in terms of actual substance I feel left empty handed. I love Influence and True Disaster, and the title track is growing on me--because they're actually really catchy and I feel like they went really well with the story it seemed she was trying to convey but then you get songs like Cool Girl and Vibes which are really repetitive and kind of annoying, Don't Talk About it which starts off really good but just gets really bland at the chorus, and then songs like Flashes and Imaginary Friend which after the first listen don't really stick with me at all.
Did I think she would actually top Queen of the Clouds? No. But I honestly expected so much better because her first album spoke to me on such a personal level that it had an incredible replayability. Perhaps I'm comparing it too much to QOTC and maybe I'm not giving it a fair chance, and I plan on listening to it again one of these days; I'm just really hoping that Part 2 slams it outta the park because Lady Wood honestly just left me feeling pretty indifferent.
tl;dr I don't like Lady Wood very much at all and perhaps it was bc I was hoping for another QOTC bc that album is bae but I'm really hoping the next one is much better

whoever the person featured on vibes is completely ruins the song. can't stand singing like that, sounds so fake and try hard. other than that, the album bops. the intros are unnecessary, but I'll just uncheck them on itunes. slay, lo.

My thoughts exactly
I kinda feel like this album is all style but no substance, and it relies fully on the production to make the songs stick with you, because the songwriting is certainly not up to par with her previous material, and the hooks and melodies she seemed to deliver so effortlessly aren't to be found either. 
For now I'm keeping like 3 songs from this, but I hope she just saved the best material for Vol. II, I'm ready to be slain by her again.

I'm sensing this might not do so well since I'm seeing so much dissapointment 'bout it? Hope she doesn't take it to heart. "Cool Girl" flopping was surprising too, such a great lead. I for one think LW is pure pop brilliance.

Physical to trick your heart
You are moving on
Physical to feel okay
That's what people say
Physical I better try
So this ain't goodbye
What does "physical" exactly means in this context? Sex?
As in, f-ing your way through getting over someone?

Tell me "No one's gonna get ya", I'm just straight up mad
I fool in love, roll up beside me
And you're just as bad
This verse truly befuddles me also.

I think she wants to give the physical pleasure to trick the heart and make her lover forget about leaving her and moving on. It's like they both forget about the whole world when they have sex. But you're right tho.
BTW it's my favorite part of Keep It Simple

Exactly this. It refers to sex/sleeping with someone else (or other people) to get over whatever you're feeling at a specified moment. Basically numbing the pain away. My entire life story and mentality rn is told in the bridge and it's partly why it's my favourite part on the record. It's like she's been reading my mind or something
