So, was there a contest to sing the upcoming Bond themes that Billie Eilish beat Momsen for and Momsen decided to release her song anyway?

idk why they tried to get a big epic chorus but then put the actual instrumentation so low in the mix when that's literally what drives the chorus.

I don't think they're really obsessed with 'rock mythology' so much as they're just a hard rock band. I generally think they're a cut above the average modern hard rock band because a lot of their songs are sleazy bluesy fun and Momsen can genuinely sing.

Somehow I didn't expect them to still be active in 2020. Kudos to them.

I hated how the chorus presented opportunity to go high vocally at the end and belt and she goes low every time. Real buzz kill. Song seems harmless.

My ex gf used to be obsessed with Taylor Momsen, she is hot tbf. Think she would be more successful if she went solo. People recognize names nowadays, I mean, look at Hayley Williams, her first solo record was quite the hit. I think the same thing can be said for Lzzy Hale.

She's quite talented and is clearly the band standout. The vocal production was strong too. Otherwise, the instrumentation was poor and robbed the track of the impact it should have had. If this song is any indication of the band's musicianship, I'd recommend she should go solo.

I think she likes being in a band. She could probably be more successful as a solo artist, but she's already pretty successful both as an actress and as a musician and probably enjoys the songwriting and performing chemistry she has with the people in her band.

Just checked out some of the Pretty Reckless' promotion. I liked the classy direction they went for in this video even if it just a Bond rip off. Their other over sexualized promotional material feels shameful. Women in this scene have come a long way recently and it's sad to see Taylor's shit continue. It comes off as a blatant, lazy pander to bone headed male audiences. I'm not saying don't be sexy. I feel In This Moment, do sexy well as example. The female's approach in that band is creative and striking from an aesthetic standpoint.

Did you read the rest of my comment? If you look at their costumes and makup, it's clear that they put a great deal of thought into their aesthetic. My point is if your going to do sexy, at least put a little effort into it. Make it feel like it's something you believe it's additive to your band and not something cynically being used for shameless promotion.

If she gonna lie about her age in the song title, might as well lie about everything else too and rename her band the Pretty Neckless

that's a dumb arbitrary constraint you're putting on their art to justify complaining about feminine nudity. If anything is "holding back women" in the scene it's the music, not the fact that this band is objectifying their female singer in exactly the same way every other rock band has objectified women ever.

and no Maria Brink dressing up as a latex thong-wearing dominatrix isn't showing they "believe" in anything moreso than just doing an artsy nude photoshoot for your cover. it's objectively more tame than what most women pop artists do on stage.

being sexy isn't a license for others to be weird to you about it. this is a justification for catcalling too which we all know isn't OK, so idk why you're blabbing it here.
