What's that thing on the wall?

[tiktokontheclock]

I think this whole thing is just weirdness for the sake of being weird and that turns me off of it.

I've stopped caring. I'm happy to go 'oooh, intrigue' but if they stretch it too far I can't be bothered following anymore. I call it 'The Lost effect'

Picture of Jonna Lee and crew:

I don't care who it is, I'm just disappointed that the chances are that this record is going to sound anything like the music in the first few videos, are becoming very slim. It seems likes they're gradually taking away all of the avant garde-ness from the music until BAM it really is just some chick  and a piano. The main reason I got so excited about the campaign was the music, but now it seems like all the music was just a soundtrack to the videos, and the record isn't really going to sound like that at all :(

It's 100% Jonna Lee. I'm so relieved this isn't some elaborate hoax. I was convinced it wasn't last night however I'm just relieved now. What a sneaky little thing! Not familiar with her at all but I'm guessing this is all some sort of British launch? Genius.

It's so very weird looking at her music videos thinking that's the girl I've been obsessed with all these months. I feel like Matilda and I've opened the special chocolate and now I feel like something is going to happen...

Also, even though I'm in the 'I don't care who it is I just want the music, "man"" team, I would be disappointed if the music in the videos isn't on the album, especially the song in the first cabin video. That music gave me shivers. Having said that I still like the "b" song more than anything she's done in the past so it's still looking good. Looking at her previous videos you have to take your hat off to her for coming up with this really.

I'll admit I'm a little disappointed it's not Christina, *hangs self*, but I'm glad it's all (kind of) been revealed.

I don't know anything about this Jonna Lee though. Would she have the budget for something like this?

This last video is the creepiest by far.

If it is Jonna Lee, can we understand how this has been produced now? Her producer/fiancé, Claes Björklund, has been the pianist for Travis. Could he have played some important part?

Travis being well-known for their love of avante garde film as well as slightly limp Byrds-esque tunes...

I always had a suspicion that the full songs may not turn out to be quite as good as the virals. This latest one is kind of an indication of that but it's still interesting enough. I hope it doesn't deviate even further from the earlier stuff.

I'm not 100% on the Jonna Lee thing but it does seems very likely.

[Remyky22]

Well, guess I'll become the fan of Jonna Lee if it's her.

Part of me still believes it's Christina. Every time new video appears, people immediately say it's not her, then new clues start to appear and people turn back to her. I think it will be the same this time. People always forget about all coincidences when new video appears. She's still the main suspect IMO

What many people skipped through - few members of this forum posted something about cat making goat noise. It really makes sense that there will be 5 more videos and every one of them will have sound of animals from previous videos.

This is definitely not the last video.

[Pet Shop Boy]

Well she's doing a gig next Saturday. Perhaps there'll be videos through the week with a reveal at the end of the week and a gig on the weekend?

I can't see why this gig would be part of promotion for This Is Jonna Lee. It's at SXSW and she would have/could have been there last year 'promoting'/performing that album. 

[William82]

Who is this Jonna Lee girl?
I'm really disappointed that it's not Xtina and now I totally lost interest in the vids. I don't know Jonna Lee :/ mmeeeeeeeh...

[truman]

A bit meh this is not Christina.

But I really like the visuals and the plastic wrapping and stuff.

The song is ok but it does stray from previous videos. I hope it's not just going to be piano-music in the end. I'd like to have the full song of that video with the jungle beat.

I hope Jonna Lee will play SXSW wrapped in plastic.

And also : her eyelashes freak me the fuck out.

[SockMonkey]

How very anti-climatic. For me, at least.

I knew this was going to happen, and I'd be disappointed when it's semi-revealed  it's not Christina.

If this is Jonna Lee indeed, then good for her, but I'm not jumping up and down nor rushing to the store to buy her album.

There are a lot of other unknown and underrated artists that do this kind of music. The whole excitement was that a mainstream act ditching their pop glam, and going a bit underground, literally.


I will continue my obsession with this campaign, but not as fervently.

That's exactly how i feel about this.

Me too.   I guess this means Christina's album will be the same old same old.   Ho hum.  (that's not a description of her music by the way)
