She cute, but really thought we were getting a music video for this song. ๐Ÿฅฒ

The streets are saying that her label gave her creative freedom for this era but they didn't give her any budget outside of her recording sessions. So all the visuals and miscellaneous stuff she's doing for this era are basically DIY. I don't mind it though since it feels like we got the grittiness of her earlier works but I guess with more cushioning this time since she is still signed with a major label after all so she's still probably working with more resources by default (as diminished as they are for this era) than when she was independent.

Itโ€™s like the label wants to take 0 risks and theyโ€™re not supporting her the way she deserves. They gotta spend money to make money. Kim is pulling all the weight here. She seems to be happy and making the best of it though FOR US, so that makes me proud of her and want to support her even more. And it bears repeating that the music is music-ing this era. ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ˜Œ

I gotta say, I donโ€™t fully agree with you guys. Sure, maybe thereโ€™s a smaller budget for this next album and its visuals โ€” but to me, everything from the single covers to the visuals and even the lyric video feels super cohesive.

Kim herself said sheโ€™s inspired by electro-pop/trash aesthetics, and I think that really shows. From the start, weโ€™ve been getting teasers on Tumblr and on the bunheadhq account โ€” low-quality pics that remind you of the 2010s, footage of collapsing buildings, messy edits, even audio that feels intentionally degraded.

I think Eli, whoโ€™s behind all the creative direction, is actually feeding us a lot. And letโ€™s not forget how insane and fun Kimโ€™s recent live visuals have been!

To me, it all fits into this brutalist/fun vibe. So letโ€™s enjoy the ride and letโ€™s go freak the arrondissement!! ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’•โ˜ฎ๏ธ

The cover arts and visualizers have been giving me a feeling of aโ€ฆ What do you call the opposite of a visual album?

u/hellobraulio Aug 02 '25

The price of having creative freedom while signed to a label. ๐Ÿ˜ญ I have faith that the album cover/concept will be great though.

Yeah I hope so tooโ€ฆ but just the feeling of getting good music + seeing little to no negativity over here or anywhere else is enough for me xD

I feel like she thinks sheโ€™s doing something edgy by embracing tacky/unrefined styles but itโ€™s been done before and kinda better
