i am ALL about how you flipped the rhythm of the chorus from 3:07-3:24 that's fuckin sick

i mean this in the best way possible but "what the fuck's wrong with you people is the floor fucking sticky or something do you wanna start moving your feet or shall i fucking walk out you little fucking bitches get the fuck u-" is the absolute best thing i've ever heard from SOPHIE

was curious which ID u were referring to

wym m8 ID is what people assign to songs without official titles (so like 90% of unreleased sophie songs should technically be called iD) but theres no one song actually called ID

definitely not what i was expecting to see as a result of her last tweet holy shit you guys are ruthless

this is also true

stop bitching about your own unrealistic expectations for this week and get your fucking life to the nina las vegas remix, that shit's almost sophie-level banger

album version of faceshopping stars w/ cecile's vox, the intro is now at the end of ponyboy

did she do it more than twice??

you are in the charli xcx thread jfc

youre honestly probably right bc that is not what was scheduled to come out today or even yesterday lmao

update: better in lossless

lmao what

VERY good album

literal. fucking. goddess.

yeah, autotune comes with a "target pitch" function where you can enter what specific pitch to move a voice to whatever note in any range. on focus, it seems to be used a lot because there's absolutely no vibrato on anything and it's super tuned. at the end of lucky, basically AG probably had charli sing one sustained note that he then basically used target pitch to "play" like a keyboard solo. did the same thing on "make believe" with the vocal guitar solo

yeah that's another part of it, there's no lenience for vibrato or being slightly over or under the note, it's immediately correcting to a defined frequency that whatever note is being told to be sung from wherever it is before. makes for jarring and unnatural movement also AG really likes to distort super-autotuned vocals when he produces, like in his song superstar or "make believe" by hannah diamond, so that may also be contributing to the jaggedness and unpleasant sound

singing really nasally gives an autotuned voice a synthesizer-like buzziness. that kinda nasal tone is also super common in modern hip-hop. you can her do it really clearly in the first verse of backseat and the don't delete the kisses remix. it's quite the change from her chesty belting in the sucker era

thing that was supposed to drop today wasn't done yet so postponed and improvised

charli = charli cigarette = her fans

it's like, fried sweet potato, that's why it's good
