50-50, only because she wanted a surprise release / minimal era. In a normal rollout: no way we were gonna get a complete album without a lead, a cover + tracklist reveal and preorder. But in these peculiar times, it’s possible we’ll get the album digitally this week and physical copies later on. If it’s not coming Sept 5, I don’t think it will drag on for many months; maybe October or November tops.

Her sense of priorities is questionable lol. She looks gorgeous AF though. love that poem, I thought it was the best audio out of all the bunch we had heard when she first posted it, but after having heard all of Violet, I’m glad I don’t find it as « awesome » as the first time, so I won’t be anxiously waiting at the edge of my chair for the second book. (To be clear, I love her poetry, love the audiobooks and love that Behind the Iron Gates seems to be darker than Violet, but I can’t take to be anxiously waiting for her every move for yet another project. I wasn’t anticipating Violet that much and it’s probably why the waiting didn’t seem that intense, as opposed to waiting for Norman).

We don’t have confirmation that Behind the Iron Gates will be audio as well... but leather patent having an « official audio » makes me think so?!? Unless that poem is the exception and is some sort of interlude on Chemtrails (which I doubt).

Poor Chi Chi... RIP.

Some Insta account reposted last weekend the first snippet she shared of Hope, when it was still called Sylvia. Maybe it’s the LQ, but I don’t hear the piano at all. Her vocals alone on that track are almost hunting.

I think many love the big FU she was giving her ex, which was good. But it’s true that the new chorus really is breezy summery.

Gorgeous

100% agree. I love that she now owns that she was also obsessed with writing that album and not just him. Ok, the line “there’s something I never knew I wanted and I want it” is far from perfect, but the new chorus now refers to Heroin, which I love. And anyways, my favorite parts of BAR always were the verses and the bridge, which she kept intact. I always thought the old chorus was a bit meh and a bit contradictory to the bridge.

Just a little caption would have gone a long way, that’s all I’m saying. Especially since she posts mostly about her friends and that picture could have been of one of her friends. Mental health is a concerning issue nowadays, and she is not insensitive on that matter, far from it.

The content she posted on her story is kinda random.

Yeah, super not cool... and yet, there's no caption whatsoever... People must think this is some random shit about her posse... Is the guy's sister one of her friends?

Ok what a mediocre Stan I am: I didn’t know BTD’s cover was shot on the first MV of Blue Jeans (didn’t even know there were two versions of that video- the homemade is better IMO). I now get why Paradise’s cover was a photo taken on the second Blue Jeans’ video.

I don’t think the shoot will be for the album cover. Music video or magazine cover. It’s not impossible it could be for the album cover, but it would have to be done very quickly, and physical copies would likely be delayed, like in Violet’s case.

The lyrics are corny AF. Dan Heath’s production saves it for me.

Any news on yesterday’s photoshoot?

They’re braver than me! Pretty much all year-rond, flannel keeps warm and all but in the summer, I sweat like a pig in it.

I can’t believe she wears flannel in the middle of summer.

Gorgeous

The only reason LA Who Am I To Love You is on both platforms is probably to advertise the book because she is a singer. But other than that, all the links her store provides are for audio platforms, not music / streaming ones.

She is in Tulsa again?!?

Love the woman with all of my heart, but she must stop the filming and driving. Even though what she did today is nowhere close to what she did with her Doin’ Time Insta post. God I was sure that day we were gonna witness her death live-streamed lol (I know it was filmed and not live-streamed). I get that being on the road with music is a big part of her «image », but she should just stop and so should you. Anything can happen on the road, accidents are matters of seconds of distractions. We’re all crazy fuckers here, but I want to see you all safe and sound, and argue with all of you in the future

Wow her voice sounds so different on that new song snippet

I love Violet but my only concern about it is the fact she claims a bit too much to be a poet, especially on Salamander ( I don't mind it on Sportcruiser though). Salamander is the one I don't like as much: her reading seems a bit too «forced», and the emotions don't feel as sincere as the other poems, even though it contains one of her most memorable quotes to date (My lovemaking is my legacy). I prefer the reading she did on her Insta this weekend to the one we got on Violet.

Quiet Waiter has always been my fave poem from her, and her voice is so soft on it. The music is beautiful and it flows majestically into bartender.
