Kinda sick of people not understanding what mixing is. Benny has always been a mixing engineer on SOPHIE'S music (alongside SOPHIE herself), and in fact it's extremely uncommon for artists to mix their own work. To be honest, most people wouldn't be able to tell a mixed from an unmixed song at first glance (unless the original was EXTREMELY poorly mixed).

I think we need to trust that SOPHIE's closest collaborator and family member knows better than we do about her wishes and how she wanted the songs to sound. We didn't know her, we were not in the studio with her, and I think it's both disrespectful and unfair to create this odd and unrealistic narrative that Benny is somehow tinkering with SOPHIE's music in a way she would not have wanted for seemingly no reason at all.

Oil came out with little to no promo as well… Idk why people even think a niche electronic artists POSTHUMOUS record should be getting as much exposure as a random pop girl on TikTok. Like. What’s not clicking. Everyone involved with the project has spoke about it nonstop.

additionally, we are not “essentially getting” the draft. That draft is from 2019. And notice how everytime it’s ever been mentioned it’s been described as “just an idea”, like, NOTHING comparable to what was actually going to be the album. It went through sooo many changes to the point where we literally don’t even know what final versions of songs played live sound like. They were being changed or altered every show. I think we are setting expectations way too high when in reality it’s a blessing this is coming out of nowhere 3 years later. We shouldn’t care about what songs did or did not make the cut or if it’s Transnation because I highly doubt there won’t be more SOPHIE music released in the future. Whether it be collaborators releasing their SOPHIE prods on their own, more collections, or what. But it’s not like SOPHIE stops existing after this album comes out. That’s literally the opposite of the intention.

anyways god I hope U Wanna Be Alive comes out someday. This is my Sophie song. Like the Sophie song made for me. This song is so special

see here's the thing, sophie might have worked on many more tracks at the time but perhaps only 16 were finished or close to being finished. i don't think her brother would put out stuff that is not what sophie envisioned to be out

The leak everyone based their memory and taste on is not at all representative of how the song might have changed from late 2019 to january of 2021. It leaked in august 2020 iirc and that was basically the same version as the radio rip debuted by Nina Las Vegas in august 2019, but just in a higher quality. We cannot assume that it was the final version of the song, especially given how many versions of the same song SOPHIE would have. It could have even been the version used for live sets and that’s it. That version could have even be scrapped entirely since it had leaked. I’m not surprised that the released version is so different from the leak or from the live version, I mean, hasn’t it always been like that with SOPHIE?
Like, the C*m Remix is vastly different from the version performed live, just like infatuation twilight zone or plunging asymptote, or even Immaterial and I could go on endlessly… I honestly do not think Benny would have taken so much creative liberty with the production, I believe that this is how SOPHIE wanted to present and release the song.

Taylor getting #1 + geolocking the release on uk the same week as Brat let us not talk about the Billie situation either just proves how much of an a$$ person she is. Keep the prize and your looks boo while Brat is still being the most cherished/talked album of the year until now.
Bad Romance was also a #2 hit and its timeless.
