It's refreshing when artists acknowledge their earlier/cheesier work in an appreciative way for the fans because it's what got them there. She's free to prove her real raw talent without disowning her hits but whatever.
No, I wouldn’t say so. Will it measure up to her last album’s success? Not likely at this point but none of her singles really opened huge out of the gate. “Attention” lacked longevity but she also demoted it to buzz single status via social media within days of release so I don’t blame radio/the general public from moving on from it quickly. This new one stabilized in the US Spotify top ten for now, and isn’t doing bad globally (and also stable) so definitely not flopping. Her last album singles were also a lot more pop oriented so I wouldn’t be surprised if this new album is still a decline commercially, but still too early to judge for her.
but... are they?
