It’s just very overproduced, you’ve got these NIN guitars in the background, synths, orchestras coming in and out-there’s no real focus and this is what happens when you overthink a song-it needs some elements stripped back.
This is the result of perfectionism-you get the opposite 

.

my time on audiophile forums finally serves me, and i can say with near certitude that this is because they don't do playback at the same volume! so it's placebo, as in your brain perceives louder music as higher quality. apple music's version played in lossless quality should sound better (most noticeably with cymbals) because while the file is heavier, all the data remains in it.
 
spotify has a setting to disable loudness normalization (which technically shouldn't hamper quality unless it's on loud) and apple music's sound check can be disabled in iOS settings > Apple Music. but since each service probably handles audio levels differently... it's probably not volume matched even then.
 
another thing, apple's lossless encoding won't work with bluetooth devices because bluetooth is inherently lossy.
 
Sky is right that streaming services may or may not compress the shit out of her song and have it sound terrible. Tidal is known to do this when labels send out "masters quality" recordings. this is horrible because MQA, the file format used for Masters, is basically a scam that makes your music sound worse than lossless. but i don't think anyone cares to use Tidal anyway.
 
edit: last paragraph is kind of hyperbolic language, the song won't sound like shit encoded on MQA. but it won't be lossless, and it is worse than flac encoding which doesn't need to be played on specific hardware that costs a lot of money. if you want your song file to sound the best, it has to be lossless (.flac or .aiff, the latter is what apple music provides as it's apple's encoding), and after that it's all differences in what master was sent to streaming, of which Don't Forget shouldn't have more than one. this is relevant for older songs

.

Okay, really obscure, but the one streaming service that I find to be respectful of music quality/getting quality masters for songs is Qobuz. If this is something people care about Qobuz is the way. And if you have the hardware (and patience for it) considering in terms of service, it pales next to Spotify.
Where are y'all getting that the album isn't for this year? I thought she was talking about not fucking up this release cycle...

I agree that the interview still leaves a lot of questions unanswered, but her determination to not kill this momentum really comes across. She’s very aware of how she is perceived and the fact that she is talking about the album, tour, and that this isn’t going to be another Donwhill Lullaby situation is all very promising.
 
im so proud of her. This song is amazing, like yes I’m prolly biased but I don’t know what more you people want. It’s dark, powerful and catchy as fuck

i thought the whole point of this comeback 2.0 was because the album was finished and this was the true rollout beginning i’m so sad 

.

it’s so song!!! definitely music

one of the most opaque interviews i've ever read, she says so much but i'm left knowing literally nothing

it's a good song but it's not impactful enough for a huge comeback single, i think i would enjoy it a lot within the context of an album.
 
the song just kinda made me want to go listen to guardian i'm sorry 

yeah this album definitely isn't coming this year if some songs aren't even WRITTEN nevermind recording, mixing, mastering, artwork, vinyl, etc etc bye 

That interview cracked me up. She’s so funny. Somehow that interview made me LESS confident that this single is leading to anything at all 
 
ANYWAY I love the this song so happy for something new!

See you guys in 3 years

Promo queen!
