Glitter Boy

Just a promotional / provisional artwork, me thinks. It apparently was not the official, from what I remember.

"I know you're gonna kill me, like, bitch you have no taste". Yeah, we actually said that, girl. I would've possibly died if she'd scrapped it. Thankfully not. Now let me go and stream that gem

Cherry, Where U Are and Flicker would've been cute bonus tracks, but I actually didn't know she wanted to cut 10-20-40 literally one of her best. RINA is such a great project, I just can't picture it any different.

It's totally true. One of my favourite Melanie songs is High School Sweethearts, and it would be totally better if there were no swear-word-dropping like here and there just to make it explicit. That's how I feel towards many K-12 songs (Drama Club, Wheels on the Bus, I think Recess, Notebook, Class Fight). I like them (except WOB) but sometimes the explicit words feel unnecessary or out of place.

The top 3 from each album was for a recommendation asked in the last page, me thinks. These are mine: The Family Jewels: The Outsider Guilty Oh No! Electra Heart: Living Dead Fear & Loathing Teen Idle / Valley of the Dolls FROOT: Froot Happy I'm a Ruin LOVE + FEAR: End of the Earth Believe In Love / Emotional Machine Soft to Be Strong / Too Afraid

Guess I'll just check this thread again until the album is already like 3 weeks of being released 'cause my head spins around of reading the same things page by page. Anyways, daily reminder for streaming MARINA's music. Any.

OMG lol well, it's possible. I really wish that and Mistakes leaked in HQ, or at least a humble 128-192 kbps real, instead of the crappy LQ edits these people (traders) decide to share (and eventually leak) instead.

It could be. In any case, I'm using it until something better leaks

I think it's very clear that ma'am is just a common vocative in the forum, but anyways, d u d e , I am one too. And no, Wheels on the Bus is still her worst. I think she hasn't done anything worst than that. Uh, but aynways, this is tiring, reminding which songs are worse than others, or thinking about leaks... Wait omg really? Sounds nothing special imo. How do we know it was that?

Not when Wheels on the Bus is right there ma'am. I know Drama Club is not her best, but not her worst either.

Completely unrelated but I have been listening to the @HEARTCORE track listing for Love + Fear and I actually like it! I like (most of) the songs from the original album, but the original order feels weird to me. But their version is better. Believe In Love Emotional Machine Please Don't Call Me Absent Love You Karma Water Under the Bridge Too Afraid If It's Worth It Holiday Handmade Heaven Demons + Angels There's Nothing Wrong with You The Art of Letting Go Soft to Be Strong End of the Earth Also, humble opinion that, besides Life Is Strange, Enjoy Your Life and No More Suckers, the album is not terrible. Also, Purge the Poison is growing on me and I'm shook. Was not expecting that but

Oh no who knows when will the pandemic be over but okay, let's see if Billie ends up releasing like Ariana.

I like it but I still can't get into some verses (and the Britney line, that should have been rewritten). But overall, I'm enjoying it more with each listen. I get you, it felt weird at first

Would she do well if she goes independent? I think it's likely that she will be dropped after this album, but honestly don't know if she'd remain unsigned and keep releasing music that way. She's been with Warner since like 2015, right?

Lol I can't picture her shooting the cover art in 2014 for an album that was not finished + has no release date + maybe will not even be released

.

She's ignoring that she was apparently an artist who promised a sophomore album titled Masochism.

That length is so short for 13 songs!!! I was expecting at least 42 minutes but anyways But hey! Bebe has finally a new album coming! quite a few songs leaked (at least in demo form) back in like October to date, but I'm glad she remade Mama and that Better Mistakes was included and the title track! But 2:15 at least add a bridge or something.

True! And also, of course, the emotional situation. I guess that if an artist removes a song from a major release, it is meant to remain unleaked. Or at least for some time, until they decide to release it / pitch it to someone else.

Haven't heard snippets but I'm sad that Happy Loner and Pink Convertible didn't make it. They seemed amazing titles. But other than that, I'm excited for this! Pandora's Box and Venus Fly Trap sound particularly interesting. Also, hope that that Goodbye is just the final song in the album and not in her career.

Exactly, and we have lots of examples of that. I honestly think this will be more solid than what most of us think.

Manifesting witchy tracks waking up to "Album announcement today" on Twitter was a wonder.

It's not! I kinda despise that demo the final one is just so good without that terribly noisy outro from the demo (aka like Believe and claws, both of which have unnecessarily noisy last seconds). Oh no, we back to ranking how i'm feeling now Pop 2 Number 1 Angel True Romance XCX World Charli Sucker

I'm not mad at her re-releasing a song from her debut album as long as it's some kind of promo single or shit. Chosen Family is definitely one of my faves from SAWAYAMA. But re-releasing it after a while, after Lucid and the deluxe, and with a guest... I keep the original. I don't hate Elton, but I don't think Chosen Family needed a revisit. The original is great.

You know what let me get my hopes high for ARTPOP: Act II to be released. I just can't help it, that era is so nostalgic for me and the shelved sequel was heart breaking though I know why it was scrapped at the time. And thinking we could finally get Onion Girl, Brooklyn Nights (officially released), Tea, Temple, Sire, Partynauseous, Princess Die or whatever songs were to be in it... fingers crossed to this.
