As I said forever ago when people were trying to claim Florence wrote on half the album... it wasn't real

it’s only a target exclusive in countries with…target

Some of y'all were never told to just shut the fuck up and it shows

Super Over deluxe is coming soon with Don't Get Over It Get Even (2:39), Lying To My Dad (3:32), So Not Sober (2:38), and a title track remix (2:24) !

The high note at the end of Love to Make opened up heaven's gate.

can i cut in boooiiii ooh aah
if our love can find a new flame
it could last until the morning
i wanna be with you now oooh aaah
 
the dark synth bops she is cooking up this year mmm... 
 

Love To Make sounds so sexy 

I could see her dropping an edition of the album on streaming with all the bonus tracks on it the next day (like 3AM) or the following week to stabilize streams

Love to Make, Tommy and Valentine... yup yup yup.

Love to Make, Tommy and Valentine... yup yup yup.

It's a completely different mix. I'm pretty sure Kevin oversaw the extended versions and Danny was around to edit the tracks down and make them glossier pop. The extended versions sound more like a Tame Impala record in the mixing.

Interesting tidbits from her tumblr asks...
 
Mixtape anniversary / vinyl repress this year, new album is scheduled for next year. She mentioned adding additional songs to the vinyl. She said "one of" hello kitty, i’m high, platform shoes will be on it. "Might do" new songs as well. New album is not "Mixtape 2.0":  
Troubled Paradise likely not being repressed. She says she wants to reshoot the album cover before ever repressing it but its too expensive at the moment. Attention leak from Starfucker sessions is being reworked for S4. Saying it will be more "sad" in sound. "Wants to release 2 or 3 unreleased Starfucker scrapped songs" including Love To Make and Tommy, "maybe before Mixtape rerelease "later this year".

She's working with Luke, pretty much said a new album is coming this year and her mom (I think) said she was touring in late 24 so...

Allie Hughes then rocked out with her band. Like Kulak, Hughes also played the piano while singing her own original songs. She is also a trained musical theatre actor, having graduated from Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. As a performer, she is infused with tons of energy, which makes her fun and captivating to watch. At one point, she stood up and started to dance- as much as her piano playing would allow. She has no pretense. She doesn’t try to be anyone except the artist that she is. And while that is extremely refreshing to see, it is also very clear that Allie Hughes is a strong enough performer that she doesn’t need to pretend to be anyone beyond Allie Hughes to bring the house down. She sang six songs from her debut album: “Elevator,” “Black Cloud,” “How ‘Bout Cha Go Away,” “Irish Colcannon,” “Gorilla Sounds,” and “Cabaret Song,” and one newer song dedicated to a friend who was in the audience. She was forced at the end of the night to give an impromptu encore when the audience refused to stop applauding or to leave. It was truly an awesome moment.

Hughes’ music has been compared to Sarah Slean and Regina Spektor, and I think that’s probably the easiest way to describe it. There are always unexpected moments, however, for at one point during “How ‘Bout Cha Go Away” her voice goes from akin to Regina Spektor to perfect and gorgeous Kristin Chenoweth-esque resonance within a few moments. The power of Hughes’ music, for me, is in her lyrics. She seems to be able to express and capture collective thoughts and experiences that aren’t often given voice in such a poetic way. Hughes is a poet. Even without the music, her songs would still be poignant and beautiful. With the music, these songs are gifts: up-lifting, self-affirming, empowering and just ‘angsty’ enough to give them adequate punch. Her voice suits the music perfectly. The best example is the way her voice captures the moment in “Black Cloud” as she sings, “…And I’m hard to keep from screaming/ And I’m the black cloud/ And I take on all the darkness of our home/ So you can be/ happy…” Ka-pow!

My favourite of Hughes’ songs is “Elevator,” which I think beautifully captures the experience of trying to strike the balance between friendship and falling in love. I think she is beloved by her fans especially for the lyrics to “Gorilla Sounds” which include, “You think you’re so hot. You think you’re so slick. You know what I think, boy? I think you’re a dick.” She’s smart. She’s sassy. She has an infectious, genuine smile that holds a glimmer of mischief. You’ll get intrigued

She was doing a lot of shows in 2008/09, a lot of copies of her album have to be floating around. I think it's funny she was friends with Tune-Yards on MySpace

 

ooooooooooh I found one of the 2006 songs

I could see her dropping an edition of the album on streaming with all the bonus tracks on it the next day (like 3AM) or the following week to stabilize streams

That’s nice and all and I’m happy she healed while writing this record but omfg I’d be lying if I said CLXI didn’t chew this up .
 
this is an album full of Mistress Violets

Someone tell Slayyyter to give her thread the exclusive album premiere next month 

ddd she tweeted about her having a thread on LanaBoards. hey gurl

I definitely don't think Florence is involved with the album nearly as much as those fake credits claim she is.
