You guys are the ones contradicting yourselves. You want to berate me for identifying with the male "object" of Charli's lyrics or not being able to identify a lesbian, but also admit you can't fully identify with those groups. Instead, I suppose you do some kind of performative universalist erasure. I bet you guys think you all really understand and get Kendrick Lamar. It's audacious.

There’s nothing weird about listening to female vocals primarily because they’re sexy - the weird thing was believing because you find out a singer is lesbian you no longer feel they’re capable of sounding sexually alluring to you because you’re straight and they aren’t



A bit like saying a lesbian actress couldn’t perform a believable hetero sex scene that a hetero man could find sexy - it’s a total nonsense.

"A bit like saying a lesbian actress couldn’t perform a believable hetero sex scene that a hetero man could find sexy - it’s a total nonsense."

That would apply if these lyrics were particularly sexual in the first place, which they aren't. The weirdest thing here is assuming that they'd somehow have a new sexual valence if Courtney had a different orientation but had written exactly the same words. Countless straight women make non-sexual music and I've never batted an eyelid at it :/

I’ll admit I didn’t have this album down as a knee trembler particularly but horses for courses

I'll take this opportunity to announce that Marika Hackman's new album is the sexiest music I've heard this year.

The contradiction is acknowledging the exclusivity of the experience of an identity group but being bothered by my recognizing of it and subsequent docking of .5 off their rating. And yes, Barnett sings about relationships on this album, relations where the object is gendered as female by virtue of her lesbianism.

I just don't get it. When Frank Ocean or Luther Vandross (allegedly gay) sing about love it doesn't make a difference. I don't see how it could. Unless the artist is overtly talking about a specific sexual act with the same sex then the words should mean the same.

I don't think I've heard a better incentive to go gay in my entire life.
