My timeline has been particularly cursed this week, with people I know and love incessantly complaining about

down the runway, a move that, while not offensive to me, is corny, late, and not doing anyone any favors. Meanwhile, back in the States,
<a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;">
Lizzo is mad her shitty album didn’t chart
</a>
and is looking to blame anyone but herself and the music. Olivia Rodrigo announced Daisy Chain Fields, her own version of Lilith Fair, which is brilliant and overdue. Woah Vicky read poetry in Manhattan,

What caught my eye most this week, though, was a
<a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;">
rant from James Blake
</a>
. Blake is a talented and well-respected musician who won the Mercury Prize for
<em>
Overgrown.
</em>
His breakthrough single “Retrograde” is an emotional, slow-burning, falsetto indie classic that led to collaborations with Kanye West, Frank Ocean, and Bon Iver. He has had plenty of success since, but feels like an artist who is more admired for his skill than listened to in the car. He sells a lot of tickets, and his live show is remarkable. He is married to Jameela Jamil, an actress who is now better known for a penchant for dramatic spats on social media and her
<a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;">
odd, long-winded stories about near-death experiences
</a>
.
</span>
</p>
<p style="margin:0;font-size:15px;mso-line-height-alt:18px">
</p>
<p style="margin:0;font-size:15px;mso-line-height-alt:22.5px">
<span style="word-break: break-word; font-size: 15px;">
Blake’s misplaced rant took aim at his biggest opp: the music business. In an Instagram story post, Blake spotlights comment sections filled with bots and the rise of “AI slop” as evidence of an entire system that is “faked.” Blake also suggested that you “can’t trust a review” anymore because “journalists now get paid off by labels.” (He’s since clarified that not “all journalists” are on the take, but that the unethical practitioners have “cheapened the craft (that I respect) for everyone else.”)
</span>
</p>
<p style="margin:0;font-size:15px;mso-line-height-alt:18px">
</p>
<p style="margin:0;font-size:15px;mso-line-height-alt:22.5px">
<span style="word-break: break-word; font-size: 15px;">
Of course, there’s some truth to all of this, but this sort of conspiracy-brained thinking is ruining our world, and Blake, a rich, successful musician, sounds like a baby. Payola is as old as time, but in all my years, I have never heard of a review being paid for by any real publication. The music writers I know are scraping by, and they do it because they love it. Artists need to understand that two things can be true at once: the system can be flawed, and your new record sucks. Maybe some “creators” are on the take, but that isn’t what we are discussing today. Do we really think a record label assistant is taking a chauffeured Escalade from their corner office in Midtown to Ridgewood to give some guy with three roommates a bag of cash to review an album in 2026 positively? Or maybe transferring digital currency while communicating on Signal?

<p style="margin:0;font-size:15px;mso-line-height-alt:22.5px">
<span style="word-break: break-word; font-size: 15px;">
If you’re worrying about this stuff, the search for excuses is sucking your energy and stopping you from gazing inward and recalibrating, which could lead to actual inspiration and results. The system is not perfect, artists get fucked for myriad reasons, and AI (like AI’s biggest proponents keep telling us) really is “coming for our jobs,” but constantly complaining and pointing fingers is just loser behavior. Halsey went loco this week on mouth-breathing YouTube music critic Anthony Fantano for a review of a two-year-old album, calling him a “raised-by-4chan edgelord bully.” For the record, that’s funny, but she should be above ranting and raving on social media about feeling slighted. Reached for comment by Variety, Fantano called himself “the most relevant and impactful music critic of my—and any—generation” (LOL.)

<p style="margin:0;font-size:15px;mso-line-height-alt:22.5px">
<span style="word-break: break-word; font-size: 15px;">
Where has shame gone? We all take massive hits in life, especially if you are public-facing, blaming everyone but yourself for lack of success or even critical acclaim is never a good look. When I take a tumble in any of my middling endeavors, I know to blame myself and keep it pressing. If you need sympathy from strangers this badly, maybe you picked the wrong career.
