The Ghost album announcement

[bombaysaffires]

It will come out after the Rhiannon ballet and film and soundtrack.

The premise of it sounds intriguing, but if the writing is in they style and caliber of stuff she's written in recent years....

A whole album of songs in the style of the Kennedy's/MLK song or even her abortion rights song (I can't even recall the titles off the top of my head any more since they came and went so fast....) then it will not burnish her songwriter reputation in the least. People will be buying it for the gossip aspect of it, which she is clearly teasing with her speech, hyping it up as some great revelation about her love life. Fair enough; maybe this is the best way for her to put out a "memoir" versus having the discipline to write a real book, or let someone else write one.

I wish her well, but....the ship carrying her musical talent sailed a long time ago.

ETA: Re-reading her comments about not pulling punches anymore...and it being about men in her life...makes me think there's gonna be a LOT of Lindsey in it..... I mean, even after firing him she couldn't go for a single interview without saying his name and talking about him, so.....
