I've got no thoughts just im the kind of girl who takes things a little too far! presses a little too hard! that's why you left a mark! and I'm the kind of girl who wants everything she can't get! leaving alone in the end and somehow still leaving a mess! but I'm the kind of girl who's learning everything! I say! isn't! definitive!!!!

Yunji is great because she looks like a Toreador, acts like a Ventrue, and in reality is a Gangrel.

“Kind of Girl” by MUNA
DV:
As the resident MUNA apologist of the grooves n jams dot com team I do wish they’d make it easier for me. “Silk Chiffon” seemed like such a level up that I suppose disappointment was likely, but “Kind of Girl” is frustrating in part because of how close it feels to clicking. The “I'm the kind of girl who thinks I can” line? It’s great! The way Katie Gavin sings “dandy-lion”? Fantastic! The way the rest of the lyric rests on platitudes and generalizations? Frustrating! And worst of all, I can’t get past the way that the production treads water, never fully committing to the peak-Faith Hill and/or “Iris”-by-the-Goo-Goo-Dolls power ballad that it’s clearly trying to evoke. MUNA enlist a string section only to waste it; this is a template that fucking Lifehouse made work and as a band that isn’t ridiculous, MUNA absolutely should be able to manage. But the strings are mixed low and muddied up, and the song lacks the epic sweep and dynamism that should come easily. MUNA might’ve made one of last year’s best songs, but years after “I Know a Place” they’re still - somehow - more potential than actual.
MG:
There’s a lot that does it for me about “Kind of Girl,” including what sounds to me like mandolin and slides (though the music video is like noooooo we did this all with two acoustic guitars and one electric guitar and no picks!!) and the way Katie Gavin in drag -- poorly rendered eyeliner pencil stubble thing on her face and all -- is infinitely more appealing than Morgan Wallen’s [gesture’s vaguely] everything. But I also agree with DV that “Kind of Girl” is holding back the climax. I feel this way about all MUNA songs, in fact. I don’t know if it’s that I think ideas like romantic safety and brutal honesty as a means of self-betterment are some of the biggest ideas we can confront and they deserve huge, sweeping, earned summits but that MUNA can’t get there with their songwriting or if it’s that MUNA have faith without belief in these concepts and are sabotaging the catharsis. Unlike “I Know a Place,” the self-consciousness and striving for a platonic ideal that may never be reached are baked into the introspection and determination at the heart of “Kind of Girl.” It’s a song that’s more about hoping you’re that kind of girl than actually embodying those traits and it plays out in miniature as the scene-setting is effortlessly beautiful but the plot is meandering. I do think MUNA more than have it in them, perhaps the most satisfying payoff will be when they cash in all that potential.
