His level of obsession is unhealthy, like I’m a Stan but he just takes it to whole other level

The Guardian has named Rain on Me as song of the Year

By late May, the UK was out of lockdown, but now being told to “stay alert” for a virus that could only be seen through an electron microscope. Respite was needed more than ever. Enter Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s duet Rain on Me, a song that didn’t just face the heavy weather of 2020, but told it to come and have a go if it thought it was hard enough.

Rain is such a rich symbol in pop, stretching from Dylan, stoic in his hard rain, to the liquid assets of dripped-out stars joyfully making it rain. I particularly like songs about the euphoria of getting soaked to the skin, whether romantically in Love Unlimited’s Walking in the Rain, raunchily by East 17 on Let It Rain, or with glorious absurdism in It’s Raining Men. Rain on Me is in this lineage, with Gaga and Grande singing as if saturated – Gaga is earnest, closing her eyes and letting it drench her, while Grande is blithe, as if caught in a downpour on the way home and choosing not to care. The determined invitation to “rain on me” is the opposite of Rihanna’s Umbrella or Adele’s Set Fire to the Rain: instead of trying to shelter from the storm or biblically transform it, Gaga and Grande ask for the worst thing to happen so they can be delivered from it; Grande also calls for the rain to wash away her sins. That sense of transcendence makes it such a potent song in 2020, by acknowledging the rain and dancing through it.

If this hair isn’t for a SC MV...

[Jake.]

She needs to do something, this is probably her most single-heavy album since BTW and it feels like she’s unbothered

[Smithy]

Ikr :/

I think there’s no more singles, but she’s gonna be dropping visuals in the same way as 911

...why?

It’s so frustrating. Alice / Babylon / Free Woman / Replay could all do well

No idea

I screamed at that entire video

[Samm]

COVID ruined the era tbh. Saw all the stuff they were planning before covid and it sounded massive.

[Samm]

Saying that though, Dua has had one of the best pop eras in recent memory during COVID... maybe gags has no excuse

Yeah, like I fully believe that huge plans were made for the era but she could have still tried a bit after the album was released

[Jake.]

That gimp suit is actually terrifying

[Smithy]

Yeah idk what’s going on, it’s been SUCH a turbulent year, she closed her own site down during release week to focus on BLM, she gave her IG account to 16 BLM charities for 1 week each, then she closed her own website down AGAIN to focus on the election

I feel like bc the tour was originally planned SO close to the album release date, it would have been a huge flurry of promo between April - July and then ending the era with the tour, obviously everything pretty much got cancelled and they’ve just had to try and salvage it as best they can

I don’t think there’s much they could do to properly restart the era now, but dropping a couple more videos would at least make it seem like the whole thing didn’t go to waste. ALSO drop ChromaticaTV

[Samm]

I think chromatica tv is going the same way as that artpop app...
