This is in a way XCX World made real, if you think about it..

She toured the whole Magdalene album before it came out as well, so it’s just another album cycle for Miss twig

also that 20 seconds snippet, that she herself posted at some point

I mean it's okay lol. Why does everything need to be a 10/10?

I mean yeah, because that’s how the apple Photos app interface is designed

Technically it’s 2 squares, so Hello goodbye remix coming as well

That song is not drum n’ bass

NGL the reception that this and the SOPHIE album are getting honestly just proves how much damage expectations can make. No matter how good a body of work is, if it doesn't match up exactly with what fans are expecting, lashings are to be expected. Which is both understandable and pathetic imo. You're not always going to get what YOU want and what YOU want is sometimes worse it also doesn't make sense to me for fanbases of such expectation-defying artists, to be so...close-minded in what they want from the artists they adore

All I’m gonna say is - EVERYONE hated Von dutch when it leaked, but switched like f*ggots when it dropped a few days later. Its RYM score started at 2.5 and then shot up to like 3.7 lol.

I just know the So I remix is going to go off in the most cathartic way possible

Exhilarate is very Kate Bush, it gives me The Big Sky with how enthusiastic the melody sounds + pretty much every KB song with those heavy drums

the wall mural is fake

Kind of figured the album's first section out (IMO). It's supposed to be "random" and make you question what comes next, maybe even make you a bit uneasy. In my eyes it's connected to the whole "unpredictable reality" concept at the beginning of The Dome's Protection. The song addresses the unpredictability of the first four tracks and then segues the whole thing back into "the dome" which in this case could be an area of safety and coherency, which is then illustrated through the remaining album's smooth progress from celebratory pop to techno and then to euphoric pop. It's like "You need to understand that life can get unpredictable and strange, but here's a positive outlook on it, now go have fun" I also can't help but see a connection to the pandemic here, after all it was a very unpredictable and uncertain time in our lives & SOPHIE did mention it causing a switch of consciousness in her.

This is a tough one

Actually baffled by the narrative that is being spun around this project….but looking at how Product was received back then, maybe this is exactly how it’s supposed to go?
