Sonically good, but lyrically unbearable, superficial. Lyrics do not do justice to Portuguese inspired sound.
It has a few lines throughout I like, but it's definitely lyrically one of her weakest albums Hard Candy is pretty dire in that respect though
"I bent my knees for you like a prayer; my God, look at me now"
"It's a hustle, it's a con... It's a weird kind of energy, a bizarre thing that happens to be"
"They say that we need love
But we need more than this"
"People think that I'm insane
The only gun is in my brain
Each new birth, it gives me hope"
"It's a beautiful dream, but a dream is earned
I can dress like a boy, I can dress like a girl
Keep your beautiful words, 'cause I'm not concerned"
"Venus was hovering above us
I took a trip, it set me free
Forgave myself for being me"
"It's a beautiful dream, but a dream is earned
I can dress like a boy, I can dress like a girl
Keep your beautiful words, 'cause I'm not concerned"
"I took a pill and had a dream
I went back to my 17th year
Allowed myself to be naive
To be someone I've never been
I took a sip and had a dream
And I woke up in Medellín
The sun was caressing my skin
Another me could now begin"
"Sipping my pain just like champagne
Found myself dancing in the rain with you
I felt so naked and alive
For once I didn't have to hide myself"
Edited to add just a few favourite lyrics off the top of my head
