someone needs to tell the twitter gays that just because they're gay and have cracked ableton doesn't mean charli queerbaited them

Charli just recorded an entire album in a month and a half and she’s giving it to us in just a few days, only EIGHT months after her most recent album...
 
Yet some people have managed to complain about EVERY aspect of this process, whether it was the “quality” of the music videos, the cover arts, or the music itself... in fact, some of you are so beyond unappreciative that you’ve now resorted to harassing Charli and complaining about ridiculously unimportant things such as the “extent of fan collaboration” or the fucking merch... like... I really can’t.
 
I really don’t care how pretentious I might come off - I just wanna say that I have no idea how an artist as generous and passionate as Charli ever ended up with a fanbase that quickly became UNBEARABLE over the course of a few years. I hope that, after the Janet album, Charli disappears for 4 or 5 years the way some other artists do so that some of you can learn to appreciate her.
 
Idc idc!

Agreed. It feels that our response to the material has also influenced the production. Like, imagine if when she teased party 4 u and the fan response was primarily along the lines of "ugh, she's putting that old reject on the album!?" – I don't think we would have seen it on the album. 
 
I don't think we're giving ourselves enough credit in our collaboration as an audience. Part of me also believes that the fan response serves as a motivator or validates her decisions. Especially considering the whole "I feel so unstable fucking hate my label" history she carries, I imagine Charli perhaps has grown super self-conscious when putting together an album. Hopefully if this album receives good reviews with (what seems like) minimal label input, it could allow her to continue to have maximal creative freedom. It's almost poetic how the making of this album is heavily fan-influenced as opposed to label-influenced as the journey to XCX3 had appeared.

I'm personally so grateful that Charli did this whole interactive thing because it's pretty much the only thing keeping me preoccupied during this quarantine. It seemed (based on viewer counts on IG) that there were ~5,000k or so people who would run to join an IG live or Zoom call at the drop of a hat during this whole scenario, so it feels like she sort of gave us an outlet to interact rather than just stare at social media feeds, bedroom walls, etc. Especially for the people who feel trapped or isolated during this quarantine, she really gave the stans something to look forward to. So so so generous of her.
 
That being said, do yall think that part of her motivation for this album was just her thinking NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO LEAK ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR UMRU

The way anthems is about to come and snatch every single one of our wigs harder than a slap from my grandma with a slipper and we aren’t even talking about it

what were you expecting? to pick songs with her for the tracklist on facetime?
of course all the final decisions were going to be taken by her. but the way she exposed all the process made it collaborative. going on live on ig to write song lyrics, zoom meetings where she was answering questions, making music videos with our footages. that’s a collaborative process, and it was nice to see her constantly updating us about it. y’all be negative for no reasons at all.

well can we focus on the fact that she’s donating money with this merch? it’s a good thing. and it’s not that bad!!

i wonder if the other merch item will be the book with all the artwork?

omg AG said its v cohesive... i trust him more than i trust anyone so i think WE WON!

i knowwww youuuu can't leeaave meee aloooone

I simply cannot wait for detonate to completely and utterly destroy me!! It perfectly captures that butterfly bubbling feeling when someones says "I love you" but you can't fathom why because you barely love yourself. Now, I have never experienced this but I'm sure that is what it feels like!

¥€$, sis! It's gonna be my fave, I'm sure!

I literally cannot stop thinking about Pictures In My Mind... Delicious 2.0 LEIGHDIES

"Go fuck yourself don't say you're sorry" literally helped me to be more confident in (love) life. What a masterpiece. All her MO collabs are kinda underrated I feel like.

The way this song has empowered me so many times

this new rework of Silver Cross is so gorgeous omg...

can't stop thinking about that p4u snippet

Why does I finally understand sounds like this
 

cant stop thinking about that pink diamond snippet

Some of y'all's gut reactions are just too much. Let some of this shit simmer.
 
Also, at the end of the day, this project is really fucking monumental. It is legit one of the most intimate experiences I have observed with respect to an artist putting themselves out there creatively and personally. Given this timeline, this material has been ace. And lbr, this "abbreviated timeline" isn't as much of a factor in any of this as some of y'all are making it out to be given that Pop 2 was recorded quickly as well. She has these skills and what she is turning out based on the released tracks and snippets is arguably far more interesting than what many other pop artists out there are doing. I for one am just super grateful for and fascinated by this entire project and process. Charli is really putting her skills on display and some of y'all seem to be sleeping on that fact. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

me and my bf have a playlist that we take turns adding songs onto and we both put claws on at the same time   

The way Pink Diamond and Party 4 U are about to serve
