Nicole Ann Bell (better known as Nicole Dollanganger) is a 31 year old musician/artist from Toronto, Canada, mostly known for her music about true crime, domestic violence, school shooters, DDLG, and other nonsense that Tumblr loves. Despite claiming to be a musician, Nicole has not released an album in 4 years, and a large portion of that one was recycled music from old EPs.

nicole released her album today, to absolutely no noise. it hasn’t gotten any reviews or press coverage and her announcement tweet only got 100 likes. i think she really thought this would be her big comeback but instead her few remaining fans just got bored of her years of doing nothing and moved on kek. all of the songs basically have the same theme “uwu abused drug addicted trailer park babydoll with a terrible boyfriend”. picrel is some of her dumb lyrics she was proud enough to tweet

If it was 2016, she'd try to cling to him and pretend to be besties (but they've already done that before), then hoping to get a chance to turn around and stab him in the back/ghost him like all of the calves she left behind on the way.
Feels like she gave up a little. she has an album out, but doesn't promote it, no videos, no physical release i think? and she didn't even promote it on her tumblr, her main fandom source lol. and then, all of the sudden… a random festival slot in Netherlands

This is her Roadburn Fest photo - such a stark difference between the bbydoll selfies she’s been posting. She looks haggard and tired, not like a sweet bbydoll the way she presents herself in her own edited photos. Do people really believe she’s not nearing her mid 30s rn? Those eyes kek

Just out of curiosity, what do you anons think Nicole should do with her style? I mean we all agree she looks like shit & still does exct same shit she did years ago, but i don't even know WHAT kind of style she should switch to instead
>>1844584She looks oddly flabby and clapped here, like some alt reality ugly, fat Chelsea Wolfe. I know she's norml weight and she's only 30yo but she looks weirdly bulky in this pic. But still better than this shit
>>1841332 can't believe this 30yo woman is STILL doing that DDLG Melanie Martinez uwu lolita toddler tumblr shit (and yes i know Nicole was before Melanie… but this pic gives off that "adult in toddler clothes" cringe type of shit she used to have).

No. 1844787
>>1844609She can just age up her aesthetic and improve it in terms of quality and variety of influence, that would already be a big improvement. The problem is she insists on wearing the cheapest looking shit and lazily rehashing the exact same stuff over and over again with no "update". Normally, when you have a personal aesthetic that you wish to keep, you "feed" it over time, it becomes richer and more complex and remains interesting over time because of that, but she's lazy about it and thus becomes boring.
She isn't conventionally attractive enough to go for the martinelightblue look unfortunately, but she can definitely pull a sort of 70s ghost look. She has to drop the short puffy silhouettes and all that's explicitly childish but she could keep the pale ethereal aesthetic and even the vintage lingerie bits if she chooses them right.
The first step should be updating her make-up and hair skills because they are still teenager tier and it makes her look like an AGP in

>>1844787>>1844736these are the answer - something vintage. i don't even care if it's a glam, wannabe glam, old housewife, or trailer trash lingerie look. she's so lazy she didn't even think to thrift an old wedding dress which is only appropriate for her new album. she's tall and can pull it off.
>>1844609she is flabby. she doesn't work out, does drugs, and sits online too much. i'd hate to talk about her weight since she used to be anorexic so i'm not sure if this could

nothing about it. It's been a year since the album release and she played what? 3 nobody gigs nowhere? and didn't even post any music video. Is she too afraid of cancelling (or life post-cancelled)?

These lyrics almost made me barf. I don't get how she doesn't realize that there are young girls (very few though, veeery few) that look up to her and she's basically teaching them that domestic violence is cute. She is so disgusting.(learn to sage)

>>1958925She had a lot of more DDLG/violence glorifying songs, Cute aggression being one i think. it's just a minor tip of the iceberg tbh
>>1958857I think she could safely ride that crusty old ~ghost sadbbydoll with religious trauma in wild west falling apart cardboard evngelical church/pink cardboard victorian villa shit~ (graciously leaving out the fact her new album is just the same old concept - a ghost bitches about tragic love in a trashed Poconos room kek), if only she crawled out of her cave and stooped low enough to ride Ethel Cain's coattail. I mean, we all know Bacon is riding HER coattails (and walking in her skin), but if she used her old tumblr skills (using & dropping people for her benefit/fame), she'd prob have some success, i mean coquettes like her. I mean on one hand it's maybe good that she faded into obscurity nearly Emilie autumn style & can't spread her influence on dumb teens anymore, but on the other i'd love some fresh Nicole milk. Even if that was just endless nitpicking her potato sack dresses and party city wigs kek.
The only reason i can think of why she's hiding is 1) she's scared of this threads content & pedo blogging past to bite her in the ass or 2) she got fat

I think she probably outgrew it and ddlg is out of fashion now (seems like the girlies are all radfem-lites now, radicalised by men being loudly terrible online and irlevery day) so she has no real audience anymore and probably can't figure out how to rebrand

No. 1972141
I know this bitch has fallen into obscurity and this thread is dead but I'm still going to add my two cents.
This bitch needs to shave her head again and start singing about horror shit again. The long black hair ages her and her shaved head would once again set her apart from everyone else. No DDLG themes, no cheesy ghost girl with a bad boy lover themes, just straight up horror is what she should be singing about. The
abusive guy themes worked in Natural Born Losers only because this make believe man was shoving blood in her mouth and holding her hostage while putting her head under water. She forgot how to deliver the fantasy of real life horror that people have gone through.
Also, I never noticed it until recently but her vocals since Heart Shaped Bed sound atrocious. They sound so different from her first three albums and Natural Born Losers was her best era. It was the last time her vocals sounded nice. Her niche is childish high pitched singing while singing about darker themes and oddities. She lost her way with Heart Shaped Bed's boring ass sound. She could be making her shtick work still but she forgot how to write lyrics and fantasize now that Tumblr is mostly dead. After all, it's been documented here multiple times that most of her song lyrics are from Tumblr posts that were popular circa 2012 and movies or other songs.

sage for stale milk but i often wonder if nicole secretly seethes that matt joined forces with the troon that usurped her throne, gained farther-reaching recognition with an album about pretty much the exact same themes she’d been singing about for a decade, and whom simultaneously skinwalks and fangirls over her obsessively.

she was doing this for a long time and he became so dedicated to the skinwalk and made it further in terms of reaching a wider audience. i had no idea even matt was hanging out with that retarded troon
the fact that he knew her prior to the whole larp is just deranged, ethel is pathetic. i'd be absolutely creeped out if i was her but also rightfully pissed off. men get away with anything, amazing how he still has fans after those nasty tumblr posts he made at the end of last year. i actually feel bad for nicole in this situation, i don't blame her for not doing much nowadays
>>1972141>Also, I never noticed it until recently but her vocals since Heart Shaped Bed sound atrocious. They sound so different from her first three albums and Natural Born Losers was her best era. It was the last time her vocals sounded nice.i agree. she peaked at natural born losers. i enjoyed half the songs on heart shaped bed but that's simply because a couple songs were just refined versions of existing demos that i already liked (and i prefer the demos still, kek)

>themes worked in Natural Born Losers only because this make believe man was shoving blood in her mouth and holding her hostage Kek anon, make believe who? it will never work when you know she's a rich kid growing in rich family boring ass suburbs of Stoufville and she's ever experienced is sitting among her mother's dolls, making up ridiculous stories and pretending she's a weirdo. Her glorification of this
abusive, white trash incest life is about as impressive and believable as Ethel Cain's songs about the experience of being a trafficked woman~. after all, maybe it's better to have random ghosts at the hotel story than that, I'm not sure it would be better if she still faked this shit in her 30's
I know some of you anons were her fans in Tumblr years and we're all just missing the milk, but sometimes i think you all just got massively tricked into believing her uwu anachan sick child in cult party kei clothes era or Natural Born Losers album was something more than it ever was lol. also I thought about it the other day and maybe the reason she doesn't come back properly is just simple: she's outgrown it all but writes about this ghost boy shit out of habit, bc she cannot do anything else.

Yes i know she didn't write such song (yet) but i couldn't resist. even thought it's just a photo, it's something up her alley. You just know if that audio was available online, she would've sampled it or posted repeatedly on her blog a few years ago. Maybe she hasn't changed much after all.
