Personally loved Mamushi (even though I know it’s polarizing among listeners) because it sounds so different compared to the rest of her tracks. I really hope Meg continues to collaborate with more Japanese artists - would love to see her get on a track with Awich!

I too loved Mamushi! It’s nice to hear her try new sounds and I agree I hope she continues too

I have to say that I deeply appreciate your explainers of how she was tying the anime culture because I am only really aware of(vaguely) of Naruto, sailor moon, the one where there’s giant naked people with like no skin (I cannot recall the name haha), and avatar (I’ve been told that Ang doesn’t count as anime but some ppl count it-it’s the only one I know inside out). Your piece explaining what she was doing made me appreciate the work much more so thank you! I have to say it makes me want to just listen intently to the album rather than just vibe cuz it sounds so interesting now haha. I’m still stuck in Miami Blue cuz it’s just baptizing me in southern greatness.

You’re so welcome I figured a lot of the anime reference would be missed if you’re not a heavy anime fan. + a lot of the metamorphosis references were anime related which was the whole point of the album. Glad you found it helpful! And I can see the appeal of Miami Blue it def has a very southern vibe

My favorite song about self pleasure is Jill Scott’s Celibacy Blues, because it always cracks me up and at the same time, it makes me want to belt it out with her! I believe her!!! 😆

Even though Jill Scott is my hero, it seems like I vibe more with Meg’s perspective on this. Thank you for this piece. I’m inspired to have this whole album guide me during my workout today.

I have been procrastinating getting to this album, I just put it on now so I'll get back to you about my favorite song. Tonally I wish she could be a bit more versatile, but her shit slaps so its ok.
