Inferno Euphoria

I love this album…as a longtime Beyonce fan it is so gratifying to hear her continue to put out interesting music, push herself artistically, and continue to deliver killer vocal performances…an icon’s icon. Bass in Bodyguard sending me straight to heaven every time!!! And wish A Rose were full length it’s soooo good

I didn't expect to like this album as much as I did It's really good and the two singles def work better in the context of the album. However I kinda wish she made the 27 track version the deluxe cause it does get long especially in the first half.
The shorter playlist version I made for myself (The songs still flow together well this way):
 

It makes no sense to compare Lana and Beyoncé when they are completely different artists. Shut up and just enjoy the music. 

cowboy carter already featured a lot of soft rock sounds so i believe act III will be an even more comfortable spot for her, specially considering her past experimentations within the rock genre

I think it’s pure speculation since Renaissance. If the acts truly are Beyoncé’s attempt to “reclaim” black music genres (another speculation), I think that makes sense. Maybe it’d feel a bit cosplay-y and performative but I think she can pull it off, people criticized her for doing dancehall and embracing queerness in Renaissance but I think she pulled everything off perfectly.

@landeath the xena dvd you gave her is on the list!!! how exciting!
and also o auto da compadecida and cidade de deus omg bless the other 2 brazilians who gifted her those, I hope she loved watching them 
 
 

here is the party girl boiler room album (ripped by me)
all tracks are ID'd (currently unreleased tracks are just down as ID in the format of actual boiler room releases). Album art also in the style of BR releases Tracks ripped from the YouTube upload (highest q possible)

happy birthday crash deluxe thank you for giving us career highlights like sorry if I hurt you + selfish girl, and somehow one of her worst songs (wytam)

Camila Cabello has teased that her new album is called C,XOXO and also is leading fans to a “secret” private instagram account called cxoxo that is very much familiar to the 360_brat rollout
 
but Charli is supportive so idgaf really it’s just kind of funny at this point lol

theory:
 
The Joel Corry Remix of Good Ones (the first remix of Good Ones we ever got) came out on the 4th of October 2021, exactly one month before the release of New Shapes (which came out on the 4th of November 2021) 
 
the VD remix with AR and A.G came out today on the 22th of March 2024
 
the 22th of April is a Friday and a second single release on the latter-half of April is almost guaranteed at this point
 
will the second single come out in the 22th of April (mark my words)
 
tbh I find it pretty realistic and possible  
 
 
 

Super realistic. Atlantic is literally copy and pasting the Crash release schedule onto the Brat era. That what makes the August 2024 album release rumors extremely likely, unfortunately 

why does the artwork look like charli just m*rdered addison

i love the aesthetic of remix cover, very inline with von dutch cover but also very detached from the album cover aesthetic, which makes me believe even more that blurry green mess would not be the official cover. but knowing charli, after all that backlash she will keep that as the official out of pettiness 🤷‍♀️

Looooooove when a remix reimagines a song and doesn't just add a verse in. The VD Addison remix is so infectious it's so effortless and catchy. Need an entire remix album actually...

My brain is rotted cause 

i'm happy she asked lanas opinion for the visuals this era 

this is actually such a fascinating argument you can make here
 
on a certain level, von dutch and brat is just the usual result of charli doing something inauthentic and commercial for the previous project - vroom vroom and xcxworld happened as responses to sucker,  the overcommerical and overproduced crash was a response to the super diy how i'm feeling now, and sonically whenever charli feels too far from home, its back to the clubs. 
 
while uk pop music has been moving in a 90s/2000s dance/garage direction for the last few years (which she did acknowledge on crash with beg for you and selfish girl), technically even though they didnt deliver on it, both dua lipa and doja cat were talking about their next records being 90s rave inspired in like 2021. you can actually kinda hear the beginning stages of brat on 'what you think about me' on crash too, including what i think is a (sub)conscious interpolation of 'love me or hate me' by lady sovereign, which is kind of exactly the era that brat lives in.  
 
when it comes to von dutch, it is technically par for the course "commercial" in a world where perfect (exceeder) is randomly back in the charts after 20 years - but von dutch 100% predates saltburn, and no one could have predicted perfect (exceeder) and murder on the dance floor to make such huge comebacks on the heels of that film - it kinda seems like in this case, instead of charli being ahead of her time or "chasing trends", the zeitgeist actually set itself up for the release of von dutch and she kinda got lucky that that particular synth sound became popular again with perfect exceeder at the exact right time
 
cool to think about
 
 

i love & respect your strange takes always, but please - how is this her most commercial lead when Good Ones exists?
