I'm so in love with the recent Love Sux outtake "C'est La Vie". Such a bop 

Capitol is blocking all the Free Sky people as you all must have heard by now, but I'm repeating it because I think it's funny.

Capitol blocked all Sky Ferreira fans from their social media and also blocked the word Sky Ferreira 
 
Ik is annoying but is kinda weird blocking fans instead of just try to get things clear

Mars is just that iconic to mimic 

ah sorry i thought she stopped them years ago then again i stopped paying attention to her after 2018 because i felt weird supporting her 
the fact she never stopped these videos is even more icky imo 

Tik tok but the funny thing is she complained that she dropped from the last label and went back to Sumerian because of tik tok pressure 

i also really dont like shes using that 2017 robot voice again.... especially after mars seemingly just released a diss track on poppy stealing her identity its like shes doing it to piss mars off which is icky
 
also fuck her for hanging out with marilyn manson

At least at this point we have an album
1. Downhill Lullaby
2. Don't Forget
3. Descending
4. Legends
5. Guardian
6. All To Myself
7. Hurt

The Good Natured is a band that makes electropop music with a dark/goth twist.
 
They are super good and I just discovered them the other day but apparently they announced a few weeks ago that their label dropped them and their album has been shelved And they tried their best but they couldn't get the album out of their label's hands to release it themselves... I don't understand how that stuff happens... 
 
These two songs by them that were produced by Patrick Berger who is an awesome producer. He's done some of my favorite songs, Dancing on My Own by Robyn, I Love It, and You're the One by Charli XCX.
 

 

we really need this to leak, i wonder how the music she did as a blonde sounded like, she really was a whole other person back then
 

I think it's time to talk about the iconic trio of UV outtakes - Yes to Heaven, Fine China & Your Girl. It's a twisted web and I'm not really good with phrasing and explaining such things so it might be difficult for you to understand everything (especially if you have no technical background on how songs are being produced), but I'll try to walk you through it all step by step and if something remains unclear I will try to explain it further!
 
These 3 songs were originally written and produced alongside Rick Nowels and his engineers back in late 2013. We first found out about their existence in 2016 when Eclipse obtained the demos and revealed the titles/snippets. They later happened to spread and leak becoming mysterious fan favorites and sadly as beloved and iconic in the community they are, all 3 are fake...
well, technically.
 
To understand why they are fake I need to give you a full breakdown of what happened.
It must have started with Eclipse getting his hands on an invoice from Patrick Warren who was responsible for recording and engineering Keys/Strings on some of the songs at that time. That listing apart from tracks that were released included Say Yes To Heaven, Fine China and Your Girl which have been fully unknown to the public. He contacts Patrick and using that info tries to get the demos from him, I assume under the suggestion that Lana is considering re-using the songs and tries to get the tracks/parts back. The thing is, Patrick is just someone who records his small part for the mix, he isn't actively working on the song as a producer so he doesn't really have access to all the material. Still though, he had some loose stems/sessions parts I assume, without properly bounced mix, he challenged himself to create mixes of all 3 that would be serviceable for that moment.
 
If you check the original files of all 3 leaked tracks, you'll find in the metadata that those demos were exported in Logic 10.2.2. That version of Logic Pro was released on March 8th, 2016 so any mix could not be older than that and of course the original ones were made in 2013. Not to mention the fact that Rick and his engineers work with Pro Tools, not Logic, unlike Patrick. But this goes even further. Patrick's available stems of the tracks were seemingly so incomplete he decided to create new production and structure for the songs making complete new versions that were unlike what Lana and Rick originally curated. He sent those back to Eclipse alongside the very incomplete stems.
 
This mess doesn't end here. You see Patrick Warren's job is to deliver the stems containing the new parts he was issued to arrange and engineer. Since he is often doing it independently of the rest, he adds a little bit of the song's intro at the beginning of every stem file he bounces so that when Rick receives it he knows how to place it in the mix alongside his parts. It's usually like 20/30 seconds and you can see what I'm talking about, because Eclipse shared some stems snippets from the files he received:

Thank you @TheBoss for providing these to me
 
The first seconds here are the intros of real Rick reference demos, the latter parts however are already stems/mixes of what Patrick attempted to make in 2016. If you want some more closure, there is something @Say Yes to Heaven mentioned already - Eclipse must have received another pack of the same fashion later in 2016 of upcoming LFL track, Something Real (aka 13 Beaches). If you remember those times well, his exact teaser said "You took the.. #SR". This was most probably, because the singular stems he received as Something Real ALSO contained a few seconds of actual song at the beginning that happened to cut right after Lana saying "You took t..". In the full official credits you can see that Patrick is credited on 13 Beaches for "Waterphone", "Harmonium" and "Synthesizer".
 
Now circling back, while Fine China and Your Girl only had one mix leaked, Yes to Heaven also had this:
 
And this one is also fake, but it's technically closer to being a real thing than the Patrick mix. I don't know if this one was made by Eclipse or someone who got the stems from him, but this must have been made with filtered acapella of the Patrick Warren version, mixed with additional stems he provided and then layered with the looped guitar/drum pattern from the intro that I mentioned previously. But that guitar loop was literally a fundament of very first version of Yes to Heaven (unlike the Patrick mix that begins with strings) so you can imagine how it sounded based on this.
 
The first real version of Yes to Heaven that you have is the one leaked by Music Mafia which is a James Ford demo from late March/early April 2014. At that stage UV was shaping as an album, Rob Orton started properly mixing it and Lana decided to take last attempts to find the right production for the song by asking James Ford to give it a try. Sadly it also got discarded and at that point they just let go of the song (at least for that era).
 
The second real version of Yes to Heaven that you have is from latter part of 2014, 3:31 in length with leading production by STINT. Keep in mind though that while I refer to those versions as James Ford produced / STINT produced demos, they are all based on Rick's demos they got presented to work with. I think it's just easier to name them as such for clear sorting purposes. Even though the song was being worked on in both 2014 and 2015 they still failed to include it on HM as well.
 
It's fortunate for you that those happened to leak, cause Patrick's SYTH was the most different to the real demos from UV. Fine China is also pretty different, while Your Girl early demos (not the final though) are fairly similar to Patrick's mix. I mentioned earlier that both Fine China and Your Girl got mixed by Rob Orton alongside UV so they've been scrapped from the release on very last minute and unlike Yes to Heaven - ditched for good right after.
 
The weirdest thing in all this is that those quick Patrick Warren mixes are great... even though the mixing is clearly rushed and poor. The harmonica break in Yes to Heaven, the organs in Your Girl chorus, that stuff was never meant to be there, but hell it works. This sadly also means that if Patrick only sent those 160kbps mp3 files, the better ones don't exist.
 
That is all for now, unless @111 would like to now come forward and add something that I missed/got wrong. I also do not really believe that you didn't know the truth about all of this back then so I don't understand why you never revealed that the mixes aren't real. I think die hard fans deserve that kind of closure about some of the most iconic unreleased songs.
 
This took me years to figure out with massive help of someone who is also present on this very forum and I have mad respect for, thank you again!

The features were apparently fake
 
Although the Banks collab is basically confirmed, as is the title “Bait” - just not sure if they go together

I know some of yall have Problematique in lossless so after the new album release you could just leak that. Thank you

AND NOTHING FOR "ALL SHE WANTS"

memory of a goldfish, mind down there in the gutter somewhere, so send your s.o.s. ...
always bleeding time, out of sight, fleeting visions, stubborn mind, standing by, waiting on you to ...
i don't wanna go home, but you told me 'bout your girlfriend, you were fighting, i thought "excellent timing", riding uptown, tell me where's the time go? but this is my stop, god, i missed it already ...
i'm waiting, up on odin street, jeans 'round my ankles, raven haired daddy just ravaging me ...
the catch release, the casualties, while running to and from where i begun, and if the key's inside of me then go ahead and come find it with that piece tucked in your waistband, you said to me that you could be just anyone, i saw you as the sun, while granting all my gravity... it's not your fault i made you an art just to hide from me, you're just a rorschach baby ...

Lol did someone saw what she uploaded to insta stories about pedos/epstein and the industry? I asked her to what island she went to with Lily Rose Deep some years ago and she blocked me 

Looks like she final y undestood the assigment with this last single!! She does disco/electronic much more interesting than that outdated trap beats!! Love MHWWIW, my only concern is that the outro sounds more like a bridge and Its missing a final chorus, But we’ve been knew… (nowadays they only focus on streamins) 
 
the last album was a mess and a flop, the only fully enjoyable song there was Sacrifice, and looks like shes going down that route. Happy for her! 
 
I think of her as somebody I dont have much interest anymore (loved the Its All Your Fault era) but still keep up with everything she does even if Its bad cause at times Its even funny. She lives in my mind more like a meme, kind of like Demi
 
Hope one day she comes back to her old style… Pray and Cry Wolf may be her best efforts before becoming big 

yeah. a screencap of the video was used for the remixes EP
 

"new collab" coming
 
 

A few days ago, Florrie posted on her InstaStories that she would be re-recording a (1) song from her old EPs to include in the new album, and asked us which we thought was going to be.
Today, she posted a video of herself re-recording vocals for "I'm Gonna Get You Back" from her 2012 EP Late. Tbh it's one of my all-time Florrie favourites so I can't be happier about it! Hopefully it makes the cut for the album.
Tbh I thought it would be either "Give Me Your Love", "Left Too Late" or "I Took a Little Something" due to popularity among fans, but the former two already received a little retouch back in 2014 so they were unlikely. I'm glad she's taking one of those to put in the album, but I just hope it's at least 12 tracks long. 11 new ones + IGGYB would be stellar.

i'm pretending this grammy is for totl

this is kinda bittersweet because on one hand i’m happy that a trans woman won because it’ll pave the way for a lot of artists and she gave a very touching speech but on the other hand the song is actually awful and it doesn’t necessarily make kim’s consistent denial of you know who any harder to ignore

I clown on Kim a lot but she deserves congratultions, her win will keep LGBTQ artists be more accepted in spaces like these in the industry 

she’s said that the sound on perfectionist was super controlled by her label while trouble was her getting way more artistic freedom  i recall her saying that she doesn’t even like perfectionist but she loves trouble
