...so is XCX3 coming or no?

That was my exact reaction to it. I was intrigued by Charli after hearding her hits and seeing her on SNL, so I checked out Sucker and the first bit of the song comes in and I was like "wow... this chick is badass!" lol And let's not forget the triple threat that is London Queen, Breaking Up, and Gold Coins... I mean, most of the album just made me think of being a kid in the 90's, watching cartoons and Nickelodeon and doing all the fun things we did back then. And the Breaking Up video gives those vibes a bit... and the beginning is so ridiculous, it gets me every time. Sucker was just an all-round great era!

Yooo, I was wondering if there was a thread like this here! My favorite band since 2015... this song is the source of my username.

Bebe is a queen in her own right but not as queen as Charli-bebe...

I'm not though... lol

I did the same, the 3 month trial... The Candy Shop needs to be more of a thing. Charli is a great radio personality!

Yeah that's true too... should go huge!

I wonder if they can somehow influence the release of some of these fan-favorite songs that have been withheld? I mean it's management somewhere, at some level, that influences what gets out and what doesn't, officially speaking... I kinda have my doubts that this is *that* kind of management though. We'll see... Maybe this is why Charli was tweeting that she was happy the other day though. I'm sure she knows a lot more than what we can speculate right now. All I know is that I need Taxi, Round and Round, and the XCX3 tracks and whatever other progressive, alt-pop greatness she has in store.

New management doesn't necessarily mean new label though, no? Idk... It will be interesting to see if anything changes though, or if this somehow expedites her release schedule and exposure and whatnot. Should be a good thing either way.

"I was. Busy. Thinkin bout. Charles...." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DYX9-0vXoQ I love the way she sings, "I wish I had a better excuse like..." in this, it's kinda hype. And the Mario sample makes this song a bop and a half!

Am I the only one that didn't think she sounded bad at all?

Woahhh... miss Dua Lipa tweeted about Vroom Vroom a bit earlier. Single-handedly just revived XCX3 :defeated:

Seems like her "future PC party album" is becoming less and less of a thing... such a shame.

For me personally, I just try and apply what I know about the music industry and imagine if I was a label, how I'd do business. Like I'm already a business-minded kind of person and live the corporate grind everyday. It's just that "time is money" frame of mind that I have. I mean, Charli puts in the time but the girl's gotta get paid! I want buy her new music and there are still songs out there that we know the time went into writing and recording them, but there still physically isn't an end product to even purchase. We physically can't buy the music we know exists, to justify her time, or the label's time, so where is that raw return of investment coming from? Time is valuable right? Like that's just how people make a living... And the way the music industry works... Idk, it just doesn't make sense. I physically want to give Charli (and Atlantic) my money for these XCX3 songs, but we physically can't... I'm saying it here right now, "Take my money, Atlantic!" but Atlantic says "no." lol

**Round and Round melodies are truly iconic and record label deems it unworthy of release...** What is music anyway?

Is there any reason behind like all the fan-favorite songs being "unleaked" still? Like Taxi and Round and Round? Like I'm wondering if they haven't leaked because they're were actually planned for a release somewhere down the road... same with No Angel. I mean, I guess GNO and Bounce did leak, but still... Shout-out to the most twisted hype train/marketing campaign ever lol.

Honestly, Delicious really had to grow on me... but it's now probably my favorite song on the mixtape. That build-up to the end thoooo.

What we really need is a Vroom Vroom deluxe re-issue... :defeated:

So like all those leaked songs are really just off the table now, huh? I just don't get it... I'm about to just find a way to download and listen to them at this point... I'm tired of waiting. I'll be buying whatever she puts out officially anyway, and I'd pay for the leaked material if she released it too. As much as I hate jumping the gun on music out of respect for the artists, this is just crazy. I'm ranting now, but it just blows my mind how that, within an industry that's so strapped for cash and is constantly scrambling for ways to make money, they have the material created and it's withheld from the market, never to ever be put out for purchase. It's not like a digital download needs or ever runs out of stock... and it's like permanently monetized... it would be able to be streamed at anytime... Makes no sense.

This reminds me... I was watching an old Charli interview, because I stan a queen... and watch her response when she gets asked about the punk album. Could she actually be behind some of her leaks? ...or partially? Not saying that I think "charlixcx" is actually Charli on the other site either lol... but just the fact that she's had so much stuff leak... it's kinda suspicious.

I'm sure there aren't any hard feelings about XCX3 or whatever... it's not Charli or Sophie's fault that they're too next level for Atlantic.

Yeah but minimal features plsss...

Trailer Swift... that's a good one lol. I thought Charli was supporting all dates... I haven't seen anything official say otherwise?

Can you imagine not liking Bounce? What a life...

What is this new direction exactly? I haven't been too in the loop lately lol.
