Europa

Finally watched it and omg!
 
I can see why they didn't release it, some of the scenes (especially in the first half) are super poorly acted and awkward, like when she first comes out of the house and gets on the car. But it's a good video I would've preferred they released it! Interesting and cute

I love that the concept is just her trying to get as far away as possible from the kids, very accurate to her relationship w/ her fans

I spent an hour learning the code / development structure to download the stream, I'll upload when it's done

The best part is...even if she drops your fave demo of whatever and it doesn't make the album, you're still getting the song. At first the delays worried me but it's probably just her label clearing each song for release and/or Allie's indecision of what track is the best to release. I can honestly wait a few weeks/months for the album as long as we are getting the content.

Just read the last few pages and I don't get why some of you are so pressed about the situation? It seems like Allie cleared it up for me.
 
Fans have expressed how they want the song "Purge" to be finished. This shows that Allie may have a handful of versions of this track, or an idea similar to the reactions she has received from fans. Allie asking fans what the music video may look like could indicate what she could be filming or aid with finishing the audio as well. The album itself may have like 25 demos/mixes and she's just throwing the songs she is 100% sure won't make the cut to begin with and saving the strongest material for the end. Or she's putting up her favorite songs and want honest opinions on what can be improved. As some of you have said, the album may be already close to being done and Allie is giving her fans a sense of control through letting us voice our opinions.
 
Some part of me thinks that she's just buying time to add a few more demos in the coming weeks and she will drop the album itself with material that differs from what she's showing us now. Like OHDH, TMTD and Purge are up for consideration, but only one may make it.
 
Edit : Patchwork updating albums seems to be a newer thing (exhibited by Kanye updating TLOP every few days/weeks) and it'll be the new norm of album releases and could potentially be the way she's releasing CX2 and future collections.

My Leo probably?

I wouldn't be skeptic for something by that member's word. I guess that means it is weekly then, though the strategy of "one song a week" is horrible...

...Then that means 15 weeks or so? She should do 3 a week, not 1. Bad strategy.

Makes sense, I mean there are really only a few directions that song should go in and as soon as someone mentioned keeping it as a piano ballad she was like "mmmmm I'm thinking something else" meaning she's probably already done something else with it.
 
On an unrelated note, I'm not sure I like this concept at all. Not only is it a mess, but when the final album comes we will have heard pretty much the entire album. Not in the final form granted, but it kind of takes away from the magic of hearing brand new music when you get eased into it by listening to rough cuts and voice memos.

oh yeah, now that I think about it I'm 90% sure that everything she's gonna put on the playlist already has a final version and maybe she's even already decided the track list she's just pretending that they're rough and undecided to give us a false sense of control

I can't purge you from me.
 
 
Queen of making sad yet relatable masterpieces. I think it could be her best song if it was produced.

Considering "we" mapped out the final production and music video for Purge on Twitter yesterday, it's pretty obvious that there isn't an option for Purge to not be on CollXtion II, which also may suggest, unsurprisingly, that we don't have nearly as much input on the final tracklist as she wants us to think. I'd expect that there's already a few demos of Purge out there. Allie wrote it last year and clearly since she's passionate about it to the point of planning a music video, I find it near impossible to believe that she honestly hasn't touched the song since it was just a voice memo. The voice memo she posted is probably months old. The song most likely already has been produced, at least in some form, and she basically guided us into "suggesting" whatever sound/imagery she had already chosen to make us feel like it was us who made the decisions that were already made six months ago. 

she's just referencing how beyonce suprise releases shit all at once

if this was to be executed right she needs to drop all of the songs ~ with their associated demos etc now. Releasing one song a week is SO messy, especially because there should be at LEAST 15 songs to choose from in a 10 track album. 15 weeks? No thanks.

the real question is who ripped Purge in the highest quality they could

She's so beautiful 

how am I supposed to tell if purge is good at all when it's so raw it sounds nothing like any other released song of hers, which all have slick pop production? i might love fully produced purge but it's hard to sit through such a boring voice memo. how are we supposed to fairly judge the candidates when we only get to hear one at a time?
 
best case scenario, this whole thing is her idea of building hype and she already has the album finished or mostly finished

I'm sorry, but what the hell is this? The more spins and shares it gets, the more it'll be considered for CXII? No shit this song is going to be on the tracklist, there's nothing to compare it to. And how does she think exposure = quality? The news is just that "Allie X released something", there's no actual input being given on the song itself besides "oh my god its gorgeous yes queen" because all of the fans are just so fucking grateful that she actually released something, there's no objective view of it at all! And when the next song is released hopefully in less than 3 weeks, the question will not be "Is it better than Purge?" because Purge will no longer even be on the playlist. It'll just be starting from square 1 again.

stop fighting its childish. just worry about yourself

Purge is very nice, her voice sounds amazing. Would love a fully produced version of it, but let me wait for what comes next on the playlist.

Lbr, after Sanctuary being cancelled chances are we are not getting a high budget video in a long, long time.
 
Anyway, I like the video for what it is. Some scenes like the one on the top of the escalator are very beautiful.

Was hoping for the video to have the same style as "Catch", not "Bitch" 
But it was cool, she looked great in it so there's that

I love it. She looks so pretty without glasses, ughhh. Not that it's news, but ugh, she's so pretty.
