Her main band seems to be Vigil of War who are... not my thing. I'm being generous there.
It's obvious this signing was to add female sex appeal eye to the Pumpkins which is standard Corgan, and to connect to the young insta tiktok kids who have no clue who the Pumpkins are. Her musical style probably came second in priority when Corgan shortlisted her, so no point nitpicking whether she fits with the Pumpkins. Adding eye candy to a band does work most of the time.
Nothing wrong with that approach. Its a business. And lets face it, the Pumpkins have been dying a slow death for a while now. Speaking as a fading Pumpkins fan though, it's gonna take a lot more than eye candy to bring me back on side.
Describing someone as 'eye candy' was probably alright in Roberts' time and back in the 70s ... but the world has moved on.

Good luck to her. I look forward to seeing her silence her critics in Dublin in June.
I think that’s progress - not calling that out would be sexist and patronising :-)
Looking at live footage from back in the day , they were a force of nature. More recent footage, less so.
Hardly any band is the same as when they were in their youth. I saw them in 2000 or so and they weren't the same as the live videos I had seen from the Siamese Dream days, which was only a few years earlier really. They were much more static, more uniform and less energetic.
I haven’t listened to any Billy Corgan post Zwan so I don’t know what they’ve been up to recently. He must think her style is going to fit in whatever they’ve got going on.
