1/11/11 was such a perfect release date, I'm sad it never happened. "One" you will always be famous ...

Do you guys think the chorus: "It's a party, it's a party, we're so naughty / Come on, Johnny, do it, do it, do it, c'mon" is a reference to the song "It's My Party" by Lesley Gore? I've never seen anyone mention that before but I always thought so https://genius.com/Lesley-gore-its-my-party-lyrics

For one, we're on LanaBoards… and second, the person you quoted is an Ethel Cain stan who wasn't saying anything negative about the album

Sorry for the semi-off-topic, but this situation came up on my YouTube recommended today and I instantly thought about our girl

You're just proving their point, doll 😭 Pop 2 might not be as popular as Brat, but it's definitively a very popular and extremely hyped-up album whether it's truly 'overrated' or better than Number 1 Angel ETC is subjective and based on personal taste / opinion

I'll be keeping this poor child in my prayers...

If I recall correctly, those songs are from the same session, (July 2017) so that's probably why

"Money" [not "Money (That's What I Want)" or "Money Where Your Mouth Is"] also hasn't leaked

Most of what you said is true - but some things, like this, are not. Majority of the infamous Exchange tracks were already scrapped from the album at the time of their live debut (Taken from a December 2016 interview) BTW, Charli interestingly describes the album as "80% done" here... she also points out No Angel might be included. In early 2017, she confirmed that it would be. Taxi is a great song, but this is why it bothers me to see it tacked onto the most popular fake tracklists... BloomForYou's fake one seems pretty accurate for the most part, but Taxi is just inserted into it for no real reason (Maybe to throw people off?). Makes no sense. Anyway, not to ramble, but Charli was hyping up this show saying the songs would never be heard again, that her and SOPHIE were "leaking the demos", etc. So I think it makes sense why she performed album outtakes like Daddy Knows, HBHG, Roll With Me (from 2015 XCX3 sessions but later released on N1A 🙏), Taxi and TKO - but not album tracks such as CYHM, Down Like Wow, Good Girls, etc

Enjoy this boXCXing day gift. https://mega.nz/folder/qVdGwTwK#d2jNK7hFZSfk2_Rw6nGcxg

Spike is the professional mixing engineer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Stent that was paid to work on mixes for XCX before it got delayed/scrapped. He mixed After the Afterparty, Can You Hear Me, Down Like Wow, Girls Night Out, Good Girls, I Wanna Be With You, Queen Lizzy and Waterfall. So the "SPIKE REF" tag on those songs basically mean "Spike's reference mix"

Are they really? Neon Fashion And Glowstix deserves justice too - my favourite song from 14 ...

The first one sounds like a SOPHIE sample pack type beat. The real "Trigger" also leaked with vocals and doesn't really sound like that at all— it's a demo of HeartBeat. I don't recognise the second one, but I also rarely listen to HIFN-era stuff, so IDK

Jam (Turn It Up) is unironically a cultural reset

The entire unedited txt file leaked on here only 3 pages ago (Thank you @gucciovermybody for sharing on here, I could've sworn this "leaked" years ago but I guess not??? Would've posted earlier if I knew). But none of this information is new.

Actually very well-said by her

Arrows // Precision is such a pretty song, I luv it

no

I stand with Luigi, he deserves freedom .

It was recorded in 2013, and sold to Rita Ora for her own second album, hence why she says "(Placed with Rita but who knows?)" This list is from 2016, so maybe she thought about including it if Rita didn't want it anymore? Songs like Bel Air, Helium, Hell Yeah Baby, What You Do To Me... were also being considered for XCX3 despite dating back to like 2013-14, so it doesn't sound far-fetched IMO She only did additional production

Keep in mind that Daddy Knows is also listed in the "Yes" column, even though it hadn't been recorded by her yet. This doesn't confirm any of the "Yes" songs were actually finished at the time—It just shows that Charli really liked and wanted to include them on the album. It makes perfect sense to me - Charli saw potential in the (Pull The) Trigger, which is why it eventually got reworked into HeartBeat. The original file name of the Heartbeat mumble demo you're mentioning is also titled "Trigger w cue vox" so I feel like that's further confirmation, no?

Oh, she's sweet but a psycho...

If anyone is interested, I tried sorting out the formatting since this is kind of hard to follow... see below: In total, there's around 90 song titles listed here... I wish we got this album, it really would've been an electropop masterpiece.

CAUSE I REALLY NEED YOU NEAR ME... CAN YOU HEAR ME... CAN YOU HEAR ME AHHH
