Nah I deleted it and also forgot what I said: maybe that more than anything I applaud her for singing about the fascinating “intractable problem” that Christianity was escapism, life, a throughline to justice for so many Black people in America during and after the slave trade and beyond but that obviously in some demonstrable sense it’s traceable to the white slaveholders or whatever…again, kind of feels like a “losing battle,” but so rockin regardless/because

I like Jared’s idea that her music is polyphonic, like dostoevsky or whatever lolol

Album Rating: 4.5

I think I’m understanding more what you meant earlier, in particular writing a song like Mary Magdalene which describes a person in love with a prostitute but pining for a type of love with that person they may not ever be able to get. Absolutely brilliant and definitely edgy as per your point earlier

Album Rating: 4.0

I also see Mary Magdalene are fairly queer-themed song



I know she could be technically singing as a man to a this female prostitute, but for that one it's somehow easier for me to see her singing as a woman still

Album Rating: 4.5

Love that interpretation
