NFR 4.0 along the zip folder full of outtakes 

her voice before she got sick 
 

Someone leak the Kinetics Dropbox zip already like these are all being heavily passed around and sold for hundreds..
 
edit: the Dead to Me files are interesting, I think the leaked fake concept demo from months ago is the 2nd recording session

This is the type of artwork I want for the MM3 tracks. Something new for Melanie's music, however still matching her vintage rococo aesthetic she's had since 2017.





 
I think this style would go perfectly with this album's light vs. dark theme. Light, easy brush strokes telling a dark story about sirens and dragons.

I hope in the future she'll take more creative input from other professionals. Her effort to write/direct/design/etc. is commendable, and she's done a lot of amazing things. But I feel like some of her projects suffer from her want to do it all herself. It's one thing when she's directing personal music videos, it's another thing when it's a worldwide release with a $6M backing from her record label.
For instance, bringing in experienced screenwriters and directors for K-12 probably would have made the film a lot more cohesive and garnered more attention from a wider audience. It definitely would have received better reviews and made back more money.
I also wonder if Atlantic lowered the budget for the next release, considering she's been saving money that was meant for other videos. Regardless, I'm sure she can do something great with time and effort. I'm just hoping she learned from the mistakes in K-12.
I can tell she's ready to move on to a new era, and I'm ready to see it. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it's her best project yet.

i’m sorry but it’s such a slay

I know it’s been said enough but I cannot express how much of a terrible choice K-12 was career wise after every thing that had happened. I would’ve just stopped caring about her altogether. Only reason I’m still rooting for her is due to the sole fact that I know she’s capable of becoming an amazing artist in time. These new songs are great examples of growth, the songwriting is definitely there! I just feel like she needs to broaden her sound much more than what we’re getting so far. More experimental tracks would be nice cuz she can definitely make it work with the right producers. She reminds me so much of Björk that I’m kinda expecting her to go out of her comfort zone with certain things. I felt like the world was hers after she released Cry Baby but she set her standards so low, I was actually shocked. Never would’ve thought I’d be sitting in a movie theater feeling second hand embarrassment the entire time watching K-12 
 
But either way I’m glad she’s getting somewhere, hoping she doesn’t fuck it up along the way

I’m so sad we probably won’t get a Susie / June gloom video, also cape god theme reminds me of Part Of Your World from the little mermaid LMAOOO

manifesting ldr9 for 2022, & covers album for christmas 2021  

a MEGA folder full of Cry Baby era K&OL og files when? 

can we please have “The One” and “Race” studio versions… please

what if we (lanaboards) gathers up money to make the documentary ourselves... It would be super cool 
Lanaboards exclusive documentary

by some miracle, HD footage of the rich whores rehearsing disco 
i also want to see footage of her in the studio in the early days w her confidence and drive 

honestly all this new stuff is so much better than K-12 / After School imo, it seems like she's actually trying now whereas during K-12 it felt really lazy

Needle & Thread is definitely one of her best songs in a long time

i’m ready for more songs to leakkk

yall omg

when is the damn album coming out!!!

no one leaked it yet.
and I have no idea why no one seems to care about it, I feel like it should be the number one most thirsted unleaked track....

lowkey id rather 2011-2012 songs leak than anything from the last 3 years as she might still want to release them

Lol e how basically the whole third albums leaked and we still don't have gold diggin love studio or the one studio 

Happy for the same old Cali stans........ 

She has so much better things to sing about that most of her released songs. I hope one day she won't feel so restrained by needing to make a theme for an album and stick to it no matter what. I guess After School was less restrained than Cry Baby and certainly K-12.
I know artists hate it and get really upset when their material leaks, and I bet I'd feel that way too. But Melanie's leaks have always shown me that she's much more than a singer who likes vintage children aesthetics and metaphors that seem too in your face. Of course some of her unreleased leaks are like that too, but some songs really surprise me.
