She’s not really challenging the negative stereotype that women can’t let things go, is she? TWO HOURS of grudge settling?! I’d like her to put her sizeable talents to use on a subject other than herself and her sadnesses sometimes. I like ‘Clara Bow’ because, although it’s still about her, she expands her vision out a bit by grappling with the cynical nature of the LA-based music business, her place in it, and what the future might bring for her and those who will follow her. Haven't listened to it, don't intend to, but read a Paste article that highlighted some awful lyrics: "“You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate, we declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist / I scratch your head, you fall asleep like a tattooed golden retriever”. I mean, really??! Sounds like Count Arthur Strong doing poetry! Hence the Be Here Now comparisons, critics falling over themselves but sooner or later they'll realise how deluded they were. At least I can laugh at "you see me, I've got my magic pie" for its 'can't be arsed' attitude to lyrics.
