What's with the idea that because 3 songs were intended for a different album that means COCC is uninspired and she's out of ideas? Such a narrow way of thinking about the process of making music and art. She made it for another album, therefore it's a scrap that is unworthy of being part of the new album...how moronic.
If you pride yourself with your brilliant music taste and how you listen to "real artists" (this is more towards British cigarettes i see on Twitter who are beyond pretentious), then maybe you should reconsider what an artist does
