Idk what's more cringe, all the people up in arms over the video who likely weren't fans of him anyway, or him for immediately backpedaling on his art and apologizing for it. The video and song are fine, but own your shit. Don't put out something that's gonna obviously tug on controversy and then cry when controversy happens. Needlessly messy.
Also I felt like the video for this wasn't any more envelope-pushing than him lap-dancing on Satan in "Montero" so like... wut. 🥴💀

Documentary trailer is getting a LOT of positive feedback and hype. May be what he needs to get back on track, with a new single soonish too.

He's apologizing because said controversy didn't translate to sales and chart success. I agree with you that the Montero video was eay more "controversial" and yet since that was a #1 hit, no apology. I don't even blame the video for this tanking though. It's the song that didn't connect whatsoever because it's so been there done that for him. The market for videos is so dry these days that I bet most people didn't even see it.

The controversy wasn't even the issue (most conservative/Christian commentators were less "BLASPEMY!" and more "this is tired"). The more pressing issue was the complete and total indifference it was all met with. Which is what made his apology even more sad because it was like he was apologizing for something that was barely a blip on the radar.
All of it, from the canned stoking of the religious community to the mea culpa feels lame. I think the song is up to his usual standards tbh, wonder what would have happened if he had just done a cute/fun video and rollout.

The *apology* was a desperate attempt to get his so-far ignored single/video some attention. The fact that it didn’t get any traction speaks volumes.

I mean, we can’t blame him for trying by redoing what he’s done before. Most major pop stars stick to the same thing and it either works or it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, then they might switch it up. The big thing here is if LNX learns from this and can try something else or not.

The doc looks like a very good strategic choice to pivot away from the edgelord troll behavior and toward humanizing this young artist who has admittedly achieved so much already and been a pioneer for queer artists of color. Regardless of my feeling about his music, the Montero era was one of the boldest risks ever taken in pop music, by a new urban artist coming off of the biggest #1 song of all time.

The new song is called "Where Do We Go Now?", it's an original song from his documentary. It's a ballad/mid tempo, very similar to some of the slower songs by Post Malone, production-wise. It has the kind of lyrics you would expect from a song that is part of a celebrity doc. "so where do we go now...seen everything thing we had to see...we figured it out my love, so where we going" And yes, it is an improvement over J christ. If it's a hit, it's for sure gonna be on the album. Edit: Label just sent a notice saying that it's not gonna be a single. That is probably gonna impact playlisting, 'cause DSPs may decide not to pay much attention to it. Kind of like Sun Goes Down and Am I Dreaming?

Radio's usually a week and a half behind when a song from a previous radio darling tanks.

Shows how out of the loop I am. I’m still bopping to this. It’s probably my favorite song from him…. Admittedly I’m not that big of a fan of his. I don’t dislike him, I just never paid that much attention to him.
