Glitter Boy

OMGOMGOMG By the way, we love concise eras: Atopos - 6 Sept Ovule - 14 Sept Ancestress - 22 Sept album - 30 Sept Now THAT'S how you feed a fanbase after years without a release Sky and company, take some notes EDIT: WELP THE LONGEST SONG IN THE ALBUM IS ANCESTRESS OMG SHE'S RELEASING IT AS A SINGLE?! Her Venice Bitch moment ddddddd

Finally someone said it, for fuck's sake I thought I was the only one who found it annoying af lol Yeah I get the lyrics and that the repetitive lyrics kinda evoke the binary system of a computer etc but I find it quite meh compared to other songs from the era

Okay so apparently this is the album's tracklist with lengths: 1. Million Dollar Baby - 3:04 2. Sleepwalker - 3:10 3. Maybe You're the Problem - 3:10 4. Ghost - 3:01 5. Hold Up (Wait a Minute) - 2:28 6. Weapons - 2:31 7. Diamonds & Dancefloors - 2:35 8. In the Dark - 2:52 9. Turn Off the Lights - 2:36 10. One of Us - 2:58 11. Get Outta My Heart - 3:00 12. Cold as Ice - 2:23 13. Last Night on Earth - 2:57 14. Dancing's Done - 2:46 I summed the lengths and the total length is 37:00 (too short for 14 songs but) I remember other titles Freak, Dirty Habit and Lose Me Once but I don't know if they were fake titles or ultimately outtakes that were removed in late stages, like Wild Thing being replaced by Rumors. Tbh I can't wait for this, they shouldn't have pushed it back, we were so close

Lol it's true. The one playing dumb is actually me, I thought she was in the mixing stage back when she announced Player of Games and that there could be Book 1 and Book 2

"Album is done we're mixing". Girl, then it's not done

I wonder if l-word-ing the album would trigger a release I know nothing happened when Guardian, Pray for Rain and others surfaced, but... what if Descending and the others that could be circulating actually make the label and Sky herself move?

It was not my intention to be incisive, sorry bestie But I totally get you! You're right in pointing that out. The film definitely suffered the consequences of the situation overall (budget, creative direction changes, bad acting etc.) and it shows, and well, it's also true that her music doesn't age pretty well. Her bops are still there after years, but production feels dated now. Both Cry Baby and K-12 + the audience is also an important element. Tbh, us people who were here when she released CB (and I was a teenager back then) are 7 years older and, at least personally, I grew out of that aesthetic/style at some extent. That's why I insist that what we've heard from MM3 is a step in the right direction, so I hope she really goes into it fully this era. Hopefully she is able to do something with this album because it does feel different from her previous output.

Okay but let's not act as if she's Porcelain Black*** or someone with that attitude. I don't track her collabs much (not like she has plenty of btw) but I don't remember her having bad blood with another artist because of a collab/cancelled collab etc.? If she has had, sorry for the misunderstanding but iirc at least her producers keep working with her (Kinetics & One Love, Michael Keenan) and it's been years. /// I don't doubt she has some hard attitude, because it's not normal that her material keeps being pushed back, but collabs is like the least likely reason tbh. As for this specific Snow tha Product case, I don't know. I literally didn't even know she existed before the I Scream leak. Also, not nearly all of her music gets scrapped, she literally has 2 albums, a film and a couple EPs out. I know a lot remains unreleased (and the plenty of leaks are proof of that), but even if it takes years for her to release a new project, she does. In seven years she has released roughly 40 songs, which considering her long gaps between projects, is, er, reasonable at some extent. Not defending Melanie with this btw, just wanted to point that out. ***OT Disclaimer: if you don't know who Porcelain Black is, it's better that way lol. She does exactly that, pissing off everyone she works with.

I thought they were said to be hifn (?) It was Come to My Party - actually XCX World was the first Charli *album* I heard, back in late 2019 (literally the only Charli song I heard before that was Boom Clap but hated it, and Boys). This happened right after self-titled was released and a friend of mine from college asked me what did I think about the album, and I was like "I don't know Charli XCX music". His disappointed stare made me look out for her music but, weirdly, the first thing I ended up listening to was XCX World (studio versions for the famous 13-songs tracklist were already available, in MQ to HQ, mostly demos before we got finals or stems, and ATAP, NA and GNO were released by then), which of course I absolutely loved. Then I went into her released music (iirc, it was Number 1 Angel - Pop 2 - Charli - True Romance - Vroom Vroom - Sucker in that order lol) and well, been here since. But yeah, an unreleased made me get into AND stan this woman.

Blue Banisters is such an autumn album. BB season is coming soon and can't be happier about it! I truly love this record. Yes, some songs could've been better. Some were better. But this album has true gems within. Definitely top 5 Lana discography for me.

Apparently only some mixing differences, but nothing too noticeable iirc. I never compared the files tbh.

Holy (Til You Let Me Go) is the one for me. It's... impeccable

Gave a second listen and it just gets better Still despise the cover but I replaced it with the title track single artwork and it's beautiful in my library

Ew at nobody (me included ) mentioning Wild One I'd forgive the atrocity made to The Next Best American Record if she releases Wild One. Re-recorded would be nice though, but that song is too powerful and imo it's heavily underrated. Those of us who love it love it so much, but I rarely see it being mentioned

I don't know what y'all were into lol. jk I managed to keep me from listening to any single before the album so I could listen everything as a whole for the first time, and it was amazing. No it doesn't feel as experimental as SAWAYAMA but I don't mind at all? Anyways, I do like the album as a whole, "inconsistency" and all - to me it felt more like she explored several genres throughout and it kinda works. I don't actively dislike any song overall, there are some growers here and there. The track run Holy - Your Age - Imagining - Frankenstein is un-de-fea-ta-ble Favourite songs: HOLY (TIL YOU LET ME GO) [this one is contender for Favourite Rina Sawayama Song Ever], Hold the Girl, Your Age, Imagining and Frankenstein. Least favourite tracks: This Hell (lyrics corny af at times), To Be Alive (this one doesn't really feel as a closer tbh). It's true, the singles hit different when in the context of the album. A lot of replay value from my end tbh

Agreed! I have a feeling it will be considerably different from the version planned for October, either for the recent leaks or for a last minute dissatisfaction (likely on label's part). I wonder what will end up happening if this ultimately leaks in full because of the vinyls.

Apparently vinyls of the album have been circulating already... I can sense an imminent full good quality leak / rip from this Atlantic push the release date up to right now challenge

I think this was stated to, er, deviate attention from the leaks, maybe? There's no way in hell at least Sirens, Tunnel Vision, Needle & Thread, Fingers Crossed, Void, Garden and Dragon's Blood are not released I actually would be very happy if she chooses everything from the leaks but releases them in finished, properly polished form. Even if we've heard most of it, I think it's stronger than much of her released material. It does have potential Now fingers crossed.mp3 for her/her label not to scrap this damn album.

I'm probably the self-proclaimed #1 Motomami hater (and tbh I have never listened to any of her earlier material) but the way I can NOT get Despechá out of my head is insane. It's like incredibly catchy. Probably will give a listen to her other material - and then Motomami again Baby, no me llames

So I finally managed to listen to Atopos (and also found out Ovule is out so I listened as well) and I actually like them! They're way more dynamic than what I was expecting. Atopos remain my favourite out of the two. Can't wait for the album

This story is dedicated to the delulu fans that keep waiting for my sixth album and won't get it because I'm working on a new AI feature for a ship to Mars incoming

I am formally requesting a full hq of 100% Tragedy, either officially released (pls Claire ffs) or leaked

Leak the songs she was doing prior to Art Angels

i guess we won't get them
