Leaking is bad and all, but this is going to end up with some teenager being doxxed and harassed over leaks most people aren't even listening to. It's not like Melanie is going to give them a cookie for this, either, so.. 
 
Also, as far as the "buying an NFT just to troll Melanie" goes, yeah that's dumb and petty, but did she think NFTs we're going to attract normal people from her fanbase? Of course it was going to be the obsessive weirdos who would do something like this to get her attention.

Some info from Melanie on the chatroom thing
 
- "My goal is to make music videos for my favourite songs on the next album as well as a separate film that's just a movie"
- "Album is 13 songs as of right now and I'll definitely do a deluxe"
- "There are no features on the next album"
- "The single is coming in Spring"
- "Excited to put out music this year, can't wait for you to see all the fun stuff I've been working on"
- "I'll probably put out the album before the film"

personally i love the new songs, like i'm obsessed 

I agree. I'm honestly over Cry Baby after nearly 8 years, and at this point I only have Soap and Sippy Cup on my playlist. K-12 never really had my attention to begin with. It felt underdone, and didn't have that "listen over and over" factor that Cry Baby had.
 
I get that she was going for a cohesive sound, but the beats don't have the standout quality that the first album had. The lyrics took a tumble in quality too, and the album ended up as more of a soundtrack to the film than an actual standalone LP.
 
It also seems like she got tired of her own act a couple of years ago, and has been wanting to move on but wasn't fully ready to or didn't know how. I think this is a great way to do it, keeping the character and having her "transform". We'll of course have to wait and see where she goes from here, but I'm almost sure it'll be a big refresher from where she's been for nearly a decade now.

i hate to say it but i feel like the leaks gave her more of a discography to the public since all we had was just performances from 6-8 yrs ago and covers of other people songs the leaks showed her range to be honest

bubblebath & flux are her best. specifically as a nirvana superfan, a few flux tracks (like lessen the damage which sounds a lot like stay away imo) made me so excited. was very surprised to see that people don't like it. probably my top two favorite types of music and she somehow mastered both with those works - truly an icon in my eyes

Yo I need Sirens, Dragon's Blood, Tunnel Vision, Fingers Crossed, Death, Needle & Thread, Garden, Færie Soirée and Void all to be in the album. They are just SO good.
 

The Melanie Wiki is already calling the new leaks "rough demos", not to mention how they insist on stylizing Under the Desk Under The Desk and Dead to Me Dead To Me among many other things, they have lost it.

covid really screwed everything up because why were 2019 oscars so amazing and 2020-21 boring and a flop☹️

I'd love if Melanie released a mixtape, the way we would get a vast expansion of her sound and so many experimental songs 

its valentines day ... leak between us or bike ride  

id LOVE if musicians opened patreons for unreleased music

To think, Island hated Titanic and wanted her to not make weird videos. If everything went with how Island wanted and etc. I feel like she would've been a lot more famous and successful and not someone seen as a joke  she really had potential and they got her into sessions with so many accomplished good writers/producers etc. I could rant about this for so long lmao
