Also any good soul can explain me what is "TV Track" ? I remember trying to find what it is since there's something like that for Gods & Monsters stems but I pretty much still not knowing what it really is Instrumental with Backing Vocals?
-
The starring roles stems leaking right after someone asked on this thread oh wow. couldn't even download in full yet but let's see

I think it also comes from inspiration. Idk if she was dating back when doing CLX I, but I feel the lyrics were way more "I'm devastated and really fked up trying to move into the next thing" while on CLX II the things take a turn up that if we take a look, it really gives kinda of an "insight" from a part of view of an relationship (that you probably keep on going). It find it funny how the album starts with Paper Love and it kinda reflects on me that moment of "Knowing someone" but not really knowing where it will be going but you make up assumptions and then it ends with "True Love is Violent" (which for me holds a really strong "double-innuendo" but...) that from certain point of view can be seen as like "we lived it all and we still together because love hurts but it's worth" type of thing. Songs like Downtown really get also the seXual thing ("time of my life I just wanted to... be abused?") and... it just follows this line for me. It's really about a relationship. I think a lot of CLX I and CLX II follow the "same path" but the latter is extended and it makes it seem way more obvious. Prime and Lifted are really like connected songs, the thing about being "young & reckless" "Do it for fun" That's So Us & Sanctuary about this thing of feeling "safe & well" next to someone

She hates Electra Heart the same way she was unsatisfied with The Family Jewels and probably will find something bad about Froot and keep on the cycle going. Let's not forget all the "Electra Throwbacks" last year hunnies I think it was probably frustrating as a whole project because the label couldn't keep her vision going. Marina was about to create a whole visual album... Beyoncé took notes
-
I Die everytime I think that Alexandra was, for real, the Center-Piece for the project and it ended nowhere in the tracklist I mean... the whole thing about "CLX II is about finding yourself"... that's why we NEVER create a song too early and listen to it a lot, because we'll get bored of it even if it's the theme of your album
-
In my visions the whole CLX-II kinda went "all wrong" with different scenarios. First of all, it was meant to be released in 2016. Period. It was pretty clear that the original campaign was set to release Old Habits Die Hard as the lead, followed by Too Much To Dream and then All The Rage. No way she would create the whole "Unsolved" ~~mess~~ (I kinda like it but It could have been better), drop all these songs, PROMOTE THEM (Ok she really didn't perform or got radio airplay, still, she created music videos & etc). Like what's the point releasing stand alone singles for some Spotify Playlist. I think that after Too Much To Dream (which was like, the first Unsolved song?), the decided to "try" this experiment of lowkey releasing the singles and some demos etc to pick 'em up later for the album. It was more likely she had a direction ready to go about the album. One of the resons why I believe that the unsolved songs were the actual album singles before the album is the fact that right when she dropped OHDH and created a competition and the prize was "A snippet for a song that will be on CLX II" (I'm almost sure the winner got to hear Alexandra snippet, I might ask it someday cuz I kinda "know" (I've seen them in person, does it count? nn) the winners). She also performed Alexandra live by the end of 2015. Onde again, she knew where it was meant to be going. It's pretty clear she had a mindset, songs and concepts ready but somehow threw all away to produce new music. This is also what our sis Melting Days shared of his talk with 24\7 and how she had "many uncompleted demos and just went by the mainstream songs". Remember that by the time she released All The Rage, before the song actually came out, a "remix" (I think it was actually the one that was meant to be sent to radio ???) leaked. She not only created the official music video with Drag-Queen-Superstar Violet but also that acoustic piano version video... she really pushed the song. (Also throwback to the fact the hinted before even releasing that's so us as a Unsolved song, she would make "everything to make the song big if we helped"). Then 2017 started. February and... ah... her website. The countdown. The Snippets.... someway the site bug and revealing the whole thing before the right time AND THEN OUR SIS ANNOUNCES THAT THE ALBUM WOULD TAKE 5 MORE MONTHS TO COME. By the time the album came I think part of the "HYPE" following around her from the Unsolved songs or the CLXI release was already lost. But still. I don't think CLX II is nowhere next being a failure or mistake or anything because it also gave her many good things: 2 "high budget" music videos, she was able to perform outside the Americas, the album itself caught some people's attention... it def shows way more positive points than negative ones. And of course it could have been "better" but I mean... she did so many cool interviews and some really amazing lives. I just hope that by the next record she'll be like in a perfect set-up to put her visions on it and there won't be any "label issues" or anything (Which we saw that happened this time, once why the vinyl release etc...........) and I think she really doing it right. I really believe she'll get "bigger" than she is today, not anything like international stardoom-the-new-lady-gaga but something like "Grimes" realness, yeah.
-
Maybe she just forgot there was another song appart from TLIV to be released And I mean, at first "TLIV" could be because of Valentine's, yeah, but Vintage is also a really romantic song and I would say way more..."valentine's day" ok we all know she wanted to play the "anti game" with releasing the sad song
-
I ACTUALLY SCREAMS I love this girl so much I'm almost sure we got this smh idk 7 months since the LEGEND 24\7 blessed us with something https://soundcloud.com/bebe-rexhas-slave4/leak-allie-x-catch-2012-demo-produced-vox-harmonies AND 9 MONTHS AND WE STILL NOT HAVING THIS

Is there a way the Body Ecology thing isn't a cult or something like that? n Just kidding
-
Actually better let's keep our dreams of Miss Hughes doing remakes of her old songs and RELEASE PHANTOM ON CLXIII QUICK SINCE NO ONE LEAKED IT (YET)
-
Watching this vid gives me just one feeling... LEAK PHANTOM
-
Ok like... I Look at how she changed and I really think of the possibility of now and beyond living off some type of water plant from the bottom of the ocean and cutting sugar and joining a cult about it or something because....Wow. I don't think any of my faves changed this lot through their process Wonder what she's up now and only doing studio sessions... maybe CLX III is really coming. Expected some more shows to pay for the album this time around nnn
-
That Mashup is actually...Flawless?????? I guess I need Marina's Ultraviolence????? What??
-
IKR this fan base never realized the GEM that DLMBM really is. But for real I think I mentioned on the unpopular opinion thread how recently I listened to Honeymoon and it really clicked on me after all these years except for 24 I don't feel sorry for that bitch. Every song, lyrics and the production... it's all very warm, very detailed and carefully crafted. It feels like the "Yin-Yang" for Ultraviolence. Ultra feels like Winter and Honeymoon is like Summer. Took me time but it's a beautiful record. And someday the whole fan base will embrace it. GOD DAMN YOU DRAKE FOR STEALING THAT #1 I HATE YOU SO MUCH
-
You nasty B8TCHES TRYING WITH THAT BOND DISCARD GOD WON'T ALLOW THAT TO SCORE HIGHER THAN MY FALSE-POWERHOUSEDANCEBEGIN-SWAN-SONG My original 11 was for DLMBM or MTWBT but I saw the hate towards the beautiful SWAN and had to save it Too many high scores already

TALENT Always knew this gem was special somehow n
-
Maybe it's from sessions you know? Stems (multitrack\sessions) sometimes can have unused lyrics\takes. Idk, I just remember that people teased a lot of TMTD demos and they were all like "stems edit\fake" lol
-
I think\thought all the TMTD demos were fake made of stems but this is beautiful and i want full
-
The fact UNSOLVED was meant to be dragged for even longer... Cure The fact "Stranger" had even voice memos recorded (as mentioned by 24\7) just like Unsolved projects (Casanova, Purge) Always found it awkward how she released Alexandra & Misbelieving together and asked us to choose one etc. And we thought unsolved would be like 7 songs released at once and we would be able to tell the good and bad one....nnnnn
-
I thought all these were like really old songs from before CLX I and Reborn was meant to be on suicide squad (?) but got shut down
-
I was about to laugh about the cig. thing like... "I don't eat sugar it has been 3 years but just a cig lol lol" nnnn She confirmed on Downtown that the song was called something else til the last minute where she re-wrote the chorus or something like that, + people like 24\7 were the ones that spoke about Offering I guess (?). She also spoke about "Cure" song as she wasn't happy with the production and "then Gaga did that". She probably gave up on it halfway there. I also don't believe she really changed All The Rage etc just to fit into Clx II. Old Habits probably changed cuz it was the older song and the fans kept asking about it, That's So Us change was almost nothing compared... Anyway. But I wish we had the To Better Times rework I pretty much liked this! I just found the first chorus a bit awkward but I love the verses and the other chorus
