No one can convince me "I Luv It" was going to have any sort of traction just by going to radio. Even with Coachella it didn't do much on streaming.
Lil Nas X would have been a good get a few years ago. Right now it's just two flops joining forces to maximize their floppage. Sorry. I do wanna give it a chance but between Camila's weird vibe this era and Lil Nas X's terrible single that dropped a few months ago... it's hard.

Radio would have helped I Luv It to stream better but you can't call I Luv It a flop when it wasn't officially sent to radio. Don't underestimate Lil Nas X, his Montero era was a very successful era. So what if J Christ flopped, it was a risky controversial single. Give Camila credit, she's experimenting with a different type of music.

So what if J Christ flopped, it was a risky controversial single. Give Camila credit, she's experimenting with a different type of music. He is not being negative. He is being realistic. Radio would not have played a song like "I Luv It." It is too jarring and out there. If she already had some goodwill built with a successful, proven track record of radio hits and she was in a better position to launch her era with something risky and non-traditional, radio might have been more receptive especially from a curiosity standpoint. Despite the fact that she has had several number ones and medium sized hits, she has also had a lot of underperformances. And the way her team has handled each of her eras has been an absolute mess. There needs to be a case study done on how badly they mismanaged everything. Either they just tried anything and everything to see what would stick and/or there was some bad luck. But it also seems like she was being sabotaged along the way.

Very bizarre rollout so far. They released I Luv It and, despite getting at least some streaming traction, never actually sent it as a single. Then we had a rumored Drake collaboration, "Hot Uptown," that other song in the video that was deleted yesterday, and now a LilNasx collaboration. Do they have a plan at all? Luckily, a really good song is really all that matters lol. Like, if its a great song, none of the other noise will matter. Something must have happened behind the scenes with the Drake collab so they paused it. Maybe the feud with Kendrick? so they are waiting until that blows over? This song with LNX is weird though seeing that he doesn't have good favor with the general public at the moment.

Why are you always so negative toward Camila? Because he can be. Next question?

The trailer looks like a low budget home made porn. It doesn’t look inviting or exciting or anything. I am a little frightened actually. it almost comes across as a cry for help.

He should sue. It's just so funny because I can't imagine Camila and her girls screaming "305 til I die BITCH!!" LMAO. Since when did she get so hard? Anyway, sign me up for the mess. Diamonds on my chain watching Facebook! I luv it. OOOOH!

First Kim Petras and now Camila totally ruining Slayyyter's Miami fantasy, lol.
Camila's always served tracks I like on her albums though, so I look forward to listening to the whole thing. I'm just curious how far she's gonna take this. I don't think she has the taste level to pull it off. Or the brains to pull it off in a fun/ironic way. Like I genuinely get the impression she thinks she's doing something here, lol. But I am entertained, in a watching a car wreck kind of way.

Oh yeah I think she's quite serious, which is what makes it funnier. And sadder.

I'm here for it. Why not, she's trying something different from her previous work. NICOTINE, HEROIN, MORPHINE..chile

I’m also here for it. So far she’s 2/2 for me this era, and while I don’t love the look, she’s got a discography FULL of hits. The writers and producers on this are solid so far. I’m very curious to see where this evolves.

Between this and Jacques Audiarad saying he cast Selena (partially) due to her role in Spring Breakers, what an oddly notable week for this movie.

They have two songs together on the album? Wow. Also, I'm glad she admitted that this whole thing is Spring Breakers inspired, even though it's quite obvious. Bring it, Camila! I still play Romance and Familia.

I mean from the article it states that Drake came up with the songs on the album even though she had initially approached him. At least it isn't like a label trying to save or get a quick hit and paste him on it, seems like he was really involved in the tracks which is a good sign

I think it happens in every artist's career where they have to rely on another artist (if they are chasing chart success). Sometimes it happens earlier for others.

Yeah, I can't fault her for that. She also had LNX because he was suppossed to be heading into a new era after his big first album and she had no way of knowing he was gonna kinda kill his career with "J Christ" or whatever it was called.
