111

sunshine kitty came out in september followed by two singles in january and one in march for the deluxe which came out in may, that's 8 months, she just finished the US tour couple weeks ago and she has probably been in the studio the last few weeks likely continuing into april, she has a lot of festival dates in the summer so i imagine the deluxe will come out in may/june to give the album a boost before all that... so let's wait for the meltdowns!

no 111 no traffic

so has anyone figured out the correct last word of this line cause that's not how you pronounce "white" and she rhymes whatever that word is with "WOman" and ofc white and woman do not rhyme A fallible deity wrapped up in white my guesses so far were love / bow / warm but none of them quite sound right. it sure as hell ain't WHITE though

a stan! lily allen you will always be famous

i think it has something to do with how her vocals were processed in the mastering. the album vocals sound really muffled and whenever she goes high in her register we get cracklings. for example in grandfather from 2:24 to about 2:30 it is really messy. compare it to the leaked file we got and it sounds so much clearer and there are no audio issues. omg im absolutely fuming.

there are glaring issues with audio crackling on ALL the tracks which were not present on the og leaks. did they submit the wrong files to streaming? it's a nightmare i'll try to get timestamps next time i listen through but they seem to happen when the db just goes a bit high and her vocals get a bit louder/higher. this is literally the stuff that gets checked and fixed during mastering while making everything sound the same across all formats, they put it through a mastering software which makes all the songs have the same amount of loudness which can introduce issues like glitches and crackling but these get quality checked and sorted out, it just tells me the guy didn't even bother having a listen through after putting everything thru a software. this is the first time this guy is mastering her stuff, it has always been some guy named Chris who did a fine job but this new dude should be fired for this mess.

The entire album is full of mastering issues with audio cracklings. These are not present on the leaked versions and Dolby Atmos which has a different mastering. Can someone who talks to Ben or anyone from her team report these PLEASE they are so bad. It's not streaming specific it's on spotify, yt, digital flac etc.

the hiss is because she recorded her vocals on her phone and there's so much you can do to remove ambient noise... the crackling is a fucking issue though, because as i posted earlier today the og leak doesn't have that and i'm sure it happened during mastering for the final mix with the mother censored. where's the quality control girl...

me finding out about timezones

so i wonder if the other CDs have a proper booklet because they don't have a poster? me being delusional and not accepting the reality that she won't be sharing any lyrics...

could you please tell us if there are any lyrics in the booklet and if so can you share pics?

it's the same except the censor so we already have an official version of it

album's out on youtube NZ and you can see all the credits in the descriptions

Associated Performer, Synthesizer: Phoenix Grant wha- not phoenix grant on peppers?

then there's donoghue who is a FLOP. she was being shady and sarcastic!

they are not bb outtakes though, they were just made before bb was released as she talked about ocean blvd on bb release day live stream. she probably has a handful of songs made for the next album already

margarita was mastered alongside all the other tracks at the end of september 2022 so it's not from october
