lowkey falling out of love with this app

It seems my days of being filled with spontaneous inspiration have become lacking. I’ve grown “busy” - my least favorite thing to be - and the idea of writing about music feels tedious as I try to imagine something whimsical or dreamy to share with the soulless void. Egh. I’ve been overconsuming lately, and substack has become a place to scroll, just as much as any other app. The medium is different, but the action is the same. I’m not really sure how many more hot takes, runway archives, or color pairings I can take. Whatever new york cool girl that went to art school algorithm I’m on, is sucking my soul and cheapening my tastes. The internet has way of boring me out of the things I love. Even writing. Even music.

Nevertheless, we persist.

Slowly, it dawns - Victoria Canal

Thank you, Qobuz, for introducing me to this album. Although I’m fairly new to this app, it seems the algorithm has got me figured out already. Who tf is Victoria Canal? She’s a two-time Ivor Novello winner bringing authenticity back to pop. I’m excited to associate this album with cold weather and slow January vibes.
