Now is the time to embrace the trash. Be weird and have fun.

There is a line in Forgiveness where she basically does a Gaga impersonation without meaning to

I don't think it's quite as out there as the debut was but the tracks I'm loving, I'm really loving

I don’t think any song on this is better than a 3/5. I liked her first album a lot so this is really disappointing

"Be weird and have fun."



Absolutely. There may be better albums released this year, but this may be my favourite. I came from a very similar past to Rina and wrestled with all those feelings of religious inadequacy. This might be my favourite pop album ever lyrically, from the spiteful anthem against eternal damnation to the profound liberation of the self.

Yeah the lyrics on this is really what made the album hit home for me, seeing To Be Alive live on her recent tour was life affirming.

Seconding the sentiment of both the above comments, but mainly I'm blasting Hurricanes and getting ready to end up a very specific kind of dummy drunk

Is everything else on here as irredeemable as that cheap Joanna rip off or are there any songs that live up to that amazing album cover

Probs not the biggest surprise to anyone who heard this, but interesting that this is the first time she's gone public with this album's abusive backstory

Where’d her eyebrows go in that pic?

Is she bleaching them now or shaving them off? This is the most invested I’ve been in a Rina development since she released tunnelvision

The standout point in this article imo is that same-sex couples go to her shows. Has this ever happened with a pop artist where they have lgbt fans who go to their concerts?
