Truly the worst robbery of this century

It's such an earworm literally can't stop listening to it there's something about it that scratches my brain (and its short ass length makes it very replayable)
like it's that serious to me

we need to take everything that Charli says with a pinch of salt because I never know when this girl is telling the truth anymore

Really loving Speed Drive! I’m so glad Charli decided to turn back the clock with her topline, because her talent as a writer always been better showcased with her more rhythm-focused melodies where she riffs on one or two notes rather than melodies based on note progression. In fact, i think I remember from somewhere that Charli was complimented by Max Martin himself for her ability to get so much out of her hooks in I Love It, Fancy, Boom Clap, et al. I hope this signals that she is looking to return to the techniques she used in her songwriting era when she had writing credits on a bunch of hits. 

I’m also OBSESSED with the Cobrastyle sampled used by EASYFUN. To my ears it sounds moreso like a synth recreation rather than a direct sample because the synth he uses has his signature glucky sound to it, whereas Klås’s synth in Cobrastyle has significantly more decay to it. Praying Charli and EASYFUN have been in a lot more sessions together, which is likely since Charli listed him on the 360_brat instagram post

i'm really intrigued by the heroin demo(s). one of my favorites from lust for life and one of her most revealing songs at the time 

Oh wow oh wow.. The Lana iceberg truly runs down to the core of the earth

The way she  & Rick created such an amazing body of work,  a literal masterpiece with perfect production in such a short amount of time is insane 
Omg and thank you so much for doing this timeline

The OG mumbler iktr 

Need Ur Luv is still such a brilliant song... the bridge and final chorus where the fragile vocals/lyrics come through and contradict the optimistic pop vocals/lyrics to fully convey her grief & inner-conflict

"My father's love was always strong
My mother's glamour lives on and on
Yet still inside, I felt alone
For reasons unknown to me"
 
in my first two years of college, my anxiety/depression got to its worst before i finally saw a psychiatrist. these lines will always make me think of those years. i'm doing a lot better now, thankfully, but these lines will always be close to my heart
