June Gloom

it's gone reupload anyone?

Freak Me Now easy top 5 of her discog and possible contender for her best song imo... what did she put in this song

deciding to take the lull between releases to listen to her pre-PD projects (at least the 2 EPs on spotify anyways) and Head in the Wall?? how does she do it genuinely

from what i remember, happiness was the last song written for evermore, around a week before release? she said it in the chat for evermore's release i think? i remember someone on r/taylorswift or r/popheads did a deep dive into the recording dates and studios regarding the folkmore tracks and i think the only conclusions made were that my tears ricochet was probably worked on before folklore took form, and dorothea is an "outtake" from folklore- but it was intended for big red machine's album, so who knows about the fine details there also the fact lover-era unreleased are leaking has me so shocked... do you think people have folkmore outtakes? could you imagine like i'd scream

manifesting that eventually we get a deluxe of HTG with outtakes, and this time more than like 2 of them lol - esp with how cohesive the base album is, i'd love to hear the more eclectic stuff that might've been cut for brevity or whatever. (+ justice for the unreleased sawayama songs that didn't make it onto the deluxe there either...)

every day i wake up and realize she didn't put Bad Man, Night Swimming, or Night Moves on the deluxe and i weep

noooo it seems for some reason she's taken Square (Solo Piano) and Shame (Jammin' Out Solo) off streaming, does anyone still have them in HQ? that version of Square was always my favorite

ok but we need Wake Up and Silent Violence on streaming at a minimum too like she can't leave these slays behind

honestly can we talk about the insane 3 hit combo of Contaminated, Stroke and Godless like she destroyed everyone with that

honestly Ancestors is one of my favs off Medulla? not exactly easy listening & i defs get its reputation, but like. there is something so primal and cathartic about it- i haven't really seen another song that quite captures the energy it exudes. speaking of Medulla- honestly i think it's interesting to compare it and Volta as almost 2 opposite attempts at a more "mainstream" pop influence in her work? like the hooks on songs like Innocence, Triumph of a Heart, etc. are really accessible melodically but they're presented in such strange arrangements and productions, it's honestly one of my favorite contrasts between any 2 of her albums (altho i don't think Volta is perfect or anything, still a good record)

honestly while we're on the subject, her run from Homogenic, through Vespertine, Selmasongs, and Medulla is so classic like there is not a single bad song in there. not even the B sides (hell the Vespertine B sides are incredible like of course Generous Palmstroke, but also Foot Soldier?? Mother Heroic?? classics) someone leak Who Is It Vespertine Version Already!!!

still crushed they didn't repress for the 10th year anniversary congrats on getting one!!

are we just going to collectively not talk about Girl at Home... i'm kinda obsessed with how different it is, wonder if she'll do this for any other songs in the future?

honestly the more time i spend with this record the more i feel this is her best, every song i was unsure about at release has grown on me so much, the unreleased songs fit in perfectly, the layers of writing and meta-commentary on including these unreleased songs, the covers ALL being great, this is everything i want from her tbh

just finished first listen and

the last 2 tracks are fucking bonkers... i know it isn't the most out there thing in the world but when the ending vocoder came on in gracias a la vida my jaw dropped. if this was a movie, breadwinner, and there is a light were my favs on first listen

people on popheads were referring to a demo that leaked of it

can someone link/send me the leaked version of haus labs babylon? i thought all we ever got of it were snippets from the paper magazine shoot thingy, did the whole thing really leak?

my favs were California, Secrets from a Girl, Mood Ring and Oceanic Feeling - also really liked SP, Stoned, The Man with the Axe, Dominoes, and the 2 bonus tracks!! Hold No Grudge is especially a bop- idk if it's truly phenomenal but i like it a lot more than people made me think i would

honestly i wanna order the emerald vinyl but the mockup on her site looks ... not great- sad we didn't get a teal or blue vinyl to match the album cover Ancient Dreams imo is still a really solid album but it defs could've used 2-3 more upbeat tracks just to balance it out a bit more, it's honestly weird comparing how overly short this is compared to L+F considering that record was so long and had so many outtakes... wonder how many were left around for this one outside of PC and Happy Loner tbh

glad to know she hasn't lost her touch since I Love the Garbage also all those leaks are bops, CX2 sessions were really jam packed huh

yeah from what i understand OMG was a strong contender for CX2 but the only real reason i see it getting cut is because it leaked, like the final version sounds perfect idk. does anyone still have the original file names for the gifs from the photographers website? i remember To Better Times being one of the unused ones but other than that i've forgotten them if i remember correctly Champagne was for Madonna??? TLIV was for Katy Perry, they both tweeted about writing it in 2014??ish edit: source

it's clear allie's had some trouble with her team/label/whatever for a while like remember when she basically leaked cx2 to us months in advance? cutting a verse out of can't stop now seemingly out of nowhere? i doubt it's gonna happen but that unreleased album/collection thing she's talked about would be such a cool idea wait the way i went on her twitter and she clarified she meant the songs on the vinyl re-release... pain and suffering in the land of x <3 like they aren't even on streaming wtf edit: i get that she probably doesn't even want to consider releasing the unreleased songs but not even some of the ones we know she's aware of? remembering her quote retweeting someone's video of misbelieving final with just "very cool" or something like

Caroline on ADIAML & St. Vincent on Purge the Poison would've been so good actually... maybe Rina on Venus Fly Trap as well? we deserved this actually

this thread never fails to be one of the messiest on this site oh my GOD also interesting that she said she didn't put INHA on streaming because of the leak- does that mean her unreleased/demos album would be entirely unheard material? could you imagine
