Agree on switching up the look and sound next era. In a completely non disrespectful way, I almost felt like a lot of the tour outfits/performance outfits looked.... cheap? Really the only performance/tour look that I loved was her 2022 Grammy performance look. Felt very reminiscent of the Blown Away era.
I LOVED everything about the Storyteller era, from the look all the way down to the music/production itself. I personally think that another album in that vein would excel in the current climate, given current trends.
It sucks because while this era didn't fare like the ones past, I feel like it definitely could've been better received had they done a few things differently.
- I love that she wanted to get the album out there early for us, but when it's all said and done, it would've been better to try to time the album release, to corelate when the second single was being released.
- Speaking of singles. If she would've picked from any of Crazy Angels, Burn, Pink Champagne, She Don't Know, as the singles, I believe the gp would've been a little more interested in the project.
At this point I really don't know what I want. I initially wanted a D&R deluxe, but as time keeps passing, I'm not sure if it's happening. The era feels pretty dead at this point, so I wonder if they just push on with HMH until the wheels fall off, then release the Cody duet.
