Right, I mean I like it live... for sure... but then you go back and listen to the studio version and it sounds (not bad) but just not quite right. If you watch Charli perform Vroom Vroom live, that shit pops OFF!!!! :defeated: ...but then the studio version, while still good don't get me wrong, it almost drags a little bit. If it's like a remix or something then by all means, mess with the tempo ya know? But it's a little jarring hearing some of these songs sound so great, and full of energy in a live setting, but then the studio version ends up not sounding quite right or up to speed. Just my opinion of course...

Here's the deal with RNR... if it releases... it NEEDS to be faster than this! Idk what's up with the studio recordings of the SOPHIE-era songs being slower than the live performances, but this audio is significantly slower than the live performances and it doesn't work... like it's not hitting as hard here. Just bump the BPM a bit, tweak it up if necessary, make sure it's the SXSW version (the LA Pride version of the song and those frizzy synths... ehh, not my thing) and there ya go, RNR is now perfect.

Oh yeah, most definitely... I've only gone to a handful of shows here, 2 big concerts in West Palm... but that's 2 hours away and the other shows I went to were about 4 hours away. Ridiculous... and it seems like nobody plays in Orlando.

Yes, yes, and YES...

I was lucky to see her in 2015 in Detroit, with Bleachers, the second show (or so?) before she cancelled. That was such a great tour too... Since then I moved and have found that it's so hard to catch (really any) good shows in FL. Tampa and Orlando are even kinda iffy... hit or miss. Everything basically happens in South FL and that's it. lol

It looks like Charli may be in FL now? I just got to NYC... ughhh, we switched places! :defeated: I hope I can catch her somewhere semi local when I get back!

This dude's reaction to N1A has me rollin' lol

I've said it before but Gold Coins is a JAM!!

Ugh we should set up an "Angels fund Charli" account...

"Rub rub, rubber-rubber, rub rub... burn rubber. Rub rub, rubber-rubber, rub rub..."

I found some live audio... https://mp3co.biz/song/20213495/Charli_XCX_Roll_With_Me_Burn_Rubber_prod_SOPHIE_Live/

I think all of the videos got pulled... I can't find anything anymore. There used to be a good one from Exchange LA...

Every time I listen to Roll With Me, I want that perfect transition into Burn Rubber to happen, like SOPHIE would always do at Charli's shows. I HEAR IT... and I can't UNHEAR it! It was too good. :defeated:

It's honestly such a standard studio tool... literally everyone uses it. Like it can done in such a subtle way to just correct pitch, where it sounds completely natural and most people would have no idea. OR you can dial it way up and exaggerate it the way Charli has been doing, for added aesthetic effect. People definitely overreact BIG TIME... like all the random YouTube comments you see about it... lol

I mean, so far, it almost seems to be exactly what we are getting... GNO, No Angel... people expected these to be on the new album... Focus fits that same XCX3 aesthetic as well... and who knows what's coming next month? Sure it's being done in a different format, but this has all been basically what everyone was hoping XCX3 would be so far. If nobody knew any better, it almost seems like "XCX3" is gradually being rolled out over time...

LOL... "No circle pits during Vroom Vroom please... thank you." This looked like way too much fun... I'm in NYC next weekend too, I just missed her.

The synth breakdown at the end of Backseat thooo... :defeated:

Interesting article... and shoutout @@ribbiexcx with that petition link! http://www.coolaccidents.com/news/charli-xcx-fans-unreleased-music

YO! Why does THIS version literally sound perfect?! I feel like this mix is somehow better than the version that was on iTunes! It just sounds all-round more produced and polished... Maybe I'm crazy idk... :defeated:

Porsche was GREAT at Coachella!!! That little muted guitar riff that was played along with it just set the mood!

GNO is obviously more of a club banger but could it work infront of stadium crowds on the Rep tour?? Idk... I WANT to say yes...

I just read something on Twitter that says major labels want to to invest in viral social media "stars" to generate hits... like I'm talking "cash me outside" type viral "stars" not already established, talented MUSICIANS and artists having memes to succeed (at their own craft no less). The mainstream music industry is in complete shambles. In fact, I think the article was published by RollingStone. I mean if this is what the GP likes and supports, we have major issues lol. I can't say I blame the labels either for simply abiding by market trends... they gotta stay in business somehow. Just sucks all-round. People suck lol.

Still want it... But I had a thought... I was going to put all the singles so far into a playlist, and was like... this is kinda shaping up like the XCX3 we all wanted in the first place! Especially No Angel, Focus, GNO... like these were the exact songs/type of stuff we expected. Bounce is likely coming... I mean who knows what she'll have put out by the end of the year?!

The U.S. has... issues...

"...so throw your hands up if you feel ALRIIIIGHT! Can't wait to LIVE IT UP TONIGHT!" :defeated:
