thinking about perfect picture again
hannah diamond released this album in late 2023. she does such an incredible job of juxtaposing all the trappings of modern pop music - ultra glossy production, artificiality dialed up to 11, pristine synths and robotic drums - with the content of the songs themselves, which are all about how being a real human with imperfections and foibles is infinitely more valuable and achievable than the pop star idol image... but the draw of the pop star idol remains, always there, alluring and impossible.
