You're right! I had forgotten all about that! I guess that would make it hard to give the charities the right amount on a new edition of NFR with that song on it.

It would have made sense, honestly. Wasted opportunity here

Thanks! Ok, I get all the hate now lol But honestly, at least he seems to be supportive of her and not afraid to commit. I know, this is social media and you can have anything say anything about you, but he's present for her, from what we've seen. No matter how bad or good he is for her, I hope they stick together while she is making WHF: imagine a whole album about falling in love (and maybe she'd be finally happy enough to include Goddamn Yosemite in the mix)

True, she is shit with with time lol. I Don’t expect Violet before spring. No matter how « good » or « toxic » is her current BF, I hope she sticks with him while making this record: imagine an « entire » album about falling in love awwww

Not to be a party pooper, but I don’t expect WHF before 2021. She seems to have a lot going on in her life and NFR is doing so well, she’ll probably want to craft that one exceptional as well.

Why do you all hate him? I missed the posts on that. I personally have no opinion on him, except that she sure didn’t waste her time between Chase and him.

I’m having déjà-vu... But then again, she didn’t ask to be robbed. At least we now know for sure that it’s Violets she was talking about.

Like FallingCherry, I don't think ti will be out on Spotify or Apple Music. Apple books or anywhere audiobooks are sold, but not the streaming services. Plus she said the profits would go (in part), to Native American associations, so I'm thinking we'll have a fixed price on this one.

Well, as you probably know, Coachella's big bosses aren't known for their inclusion and love for diversity, so it could be a misogynist choice indeed.

I loved Find Me... but it's honestly not that much of a Oli and Elio book. Their story gets a new chapter very late in the story. The first act is about Elio's father, which is a refreshing surprise. If you love André Aciman's writing, you will love the book. He paints with so much delicacy and nuances the act of falling in love. I think Call Me By Your Name is more efficient as a book than movie because of that. But If someone is only in it for the Oli and Elio story, Find Me will probably deceive.

I must admit that the first listens to NFR weren't that explosive to me, because I skipped the songs we had already heard. Plus all of the album is a slow burner. But when you listen to it from cover to cover, all the songs are incredible. And I believe that not listening to the BAR demo so much would have helped appreciate the final version so much more (lyrically, the new version fits better NFR, I think).

I wonder how much she runs her own show... Her managers say she does... Maybe she didn't want to headline? True, she had an amazing year, but Beyonce kinda changed the game when it comes to festival headliner shows. Our girl doesn't have that kind of firepower... I don't expect anything much different from her other festival lineups, honestly. Maybe a surprise or two.

Yesterday, as I was listening to it, I was wondering what it would have been like if she had not released it as a single and if we had only heard it with the album... I think I would have exploded.

I hear Body Electric vibes to this

I’m not sure if Billie could win AOTY since she is very young: it’s a big reward to give to someone, in the eyes of the Grammy voters. NFR sure has the lead for a win... but let’s keep in mind that Beyoncé’s Lemonade was everyone’s favourite that year, and the Grammy went to Adele for 25 (Beyoncé really got robbed).

I hope it's the Violet Bent Backwards poems that will be in spoken form. But since she called it a bit «rough» and unpolished, I don't expect the whole thing to sound like Burnt Norton or the Ride monologue. Maybe a couple will have some musical background, but not the whole bunch...

It's honestly better than what I had expected. Not a grand video, but not as bad as MAC. The explosions and the industrial setting fit the FIILY/greatest MV.

Hard to tell indeed. But isn’t the dress in Charlie’s story similar to the one she wears in her latest photo with Sean? I also saw in FB Lana group that the video was for Love Song, and that it would come out in February. Not betting money on this though.

We all know it’s gonna be low-budget. But I’m still looking forward to this. I probably won’t be watching the whole thing several times, but I’m curious. Besides, all the three songs that got a Rich Lee MV were stellar. I don’t mind something more « homemade ».

It’s the new « vinyl colour » or « album is scrapped »

So, according to Charlie's story, she is shooting a new video?!?

Critics finally get her. True, NFR is just as good as HM or UV, but « the depressed girl that idealizes death » (as some called her) isn’t there lyrically, which pleases them. And with each album, she tells the story of a period of her life and they finally like that chapter, I guess.

I really feel you! The Greatest resonates so much with me since it came out because I had to get back to work after the summer break and I don’t know how to see my work anymore. Everything is just so hard and pointless. When she sings « if this is it I had a ball, guess that I’m burn-out after all »... I feel those words with very fiber in my body.

I prefer the greatest to the title track as well and it is so emblematic of 2019. But maybe the title track has « better vocals », with its high notes in the end? Or the opening line is more iconic?
