I've got the version from the 'You're the One' EP but I also have the TR album sampler version as well. It's a subtle difference in mixing between the two when I pull it up and compare. I guess the TR Sampler version is the single version? It clocks at 3:44 for me.
-
Do you not consider that one the intro-less version or? What's the song length on the one you're talking about?
-
Me with 3:56, 3:58, 4:03..... Slight BPM variations between them, slightly different instrumentation/mastering, one sounds pitched down a smidge, different arrangements.... Lots of dead air at the end of the tracks as well so the actual start/end time differs from the file.

I've decided I want to make the nominations for next year so I guess 2025 I'm leaving the XCX thread. Y'all been warned. Didn't even realize there was a hottest lippy award I should've been able to clear that I think....

I love it when I see objectively correct, inarguable truths posted in this thread that are 100% undeniable and in no way challengeable on any merit ever.

this comment is totally holy and angelic I promise

Ooo ty. Didn't realize this little nugget of lore/nuance. Coloringbooks coming in here drawing us the missing lines to stay inside.

Same tho. And even IF there was some weird outta left field surprise WTF release of it, something to consider is that it would be something mastered and released today, based on whatever finished mixes or stems are still on hand. Due to the passing of time and general human error, songs and tracks and masters can sometimes get lost, so it's possible that some of the stuff, from the label perspective, would be "lost media" from the jump. (Like yeah, go on a few websites and redownload the stems sure, but from an "official" route I feel like some middle manager would get testy about that). Not to mention possible legal issues around copyright and shit. I do recall finding some trash twink on Spotify who had taken a lot of the 'XCX World' instrumentals and recorded their own songs over them and released them as if it all was their own. I figure a fat label with a solid legal team would have no problem proving actual ownership and origination on all that material, but that's also a $$ cost $$ to go through, and for "dead" material from years ago.....I can't see bean counters or PR people approving it.

I think it's entirely fair to say that if they were sent to be professionally mixed, they should at least be chucked in the "these were strong contenders for release" category. The whole XCX world debacle at this point really shouldn't have any questions left though imo, and what "questions" there is, I feel like are from fans inventing their own hurdles to jump over. If I was to strip down and try to abstract all the details, I feel like objectively, we know: the third album was being worked on for awhile, and then was shelved by the label a lot of material was recorded for it, and some tracks were selected and sent to be mastered tracks and album material leaked, and it played into the decision to shelve the album several songs that were in the running for the album during the "era" were mentioned and teased on twitter in various posts the producers and collabs for several songs created during the "era" were mentioned and teased on twitter in various posts several songs were performed at LA Exchange, Kimmel during the "era", lending weight to the idea that they were intended for full commercial release, but NOT confirming it j/k songs performed during the era were either already confirmed as scrapped or were still up in the air as to whether or not commercial release was a possibility shelved photoshoots that have leaked that were done during the "era" do show a coherent idea/theme was developed Charli has said in an interview that the album wasn't 100% done, and has said over the years that fans have taken what info is out there and ran with it on their own Charli has said in an interview that the covers were done, and she was about to shoot music videos, before the label decided to pull the plug on the album/project Taken altogether, the art direction was decided, a rudimentary tracklist was developed (but not fully finalized), and the "project" was rolling onwards into a "release" phase and out of a "development" phase, but before ink hit the paper on a final tracklist - shit leaked and the project was killed. We know that artists usually record a dickload of material and then spend time pairing it down to a certain number of tracks and total runtime in order to meet the label's (and contract) standard for what constitutes an album. Based on the evidence we have, I feel like we can safely infer that the album was killed and shot dead in the middle of that process, which leaves us with our infamous "Tracklist-that-isn't-a-tracklist-but-it-kinda-is-but-it-isn't." I think any further/continued "omg what if...." "but what about?" "okay but in this one tweet it seems that...." is just fan masturbation over a time and topic that will never have a solid four walls and a roof over it's head.

Well if the 1T=Charli allegations are true, that's cause she was/is touring.

Me looking at that Brie site and seeing it currently flooded with a shitload of Bounce demos and snippets as the first results when you search for our queen..... Look what you did.

omg I love Rose McGowan and a fan. Hi Rose McGowan! (+ a fan)

Book 1 and Book 2 of drama and twitter nonsense with El*n, perhaps

Fuck Me is instant stratosphere status. More please.

One thing I love about being an Angel - there's always another demo, reworked version, alt version, first draft w/different intro version.....

I love how I was just talking to the girlies about 2025 Pop Bingo Cards and I said "XCX World gets a surprise drop like Problematique a la RSD release" and then I pop on LB and here we are, discussing that exact fantasy.

The Spice Girls one? This one? https://pillowcase.su/f/cc4ac1428b62a1fa9a45b1ac348e5bda

Come on now @111 , we can't just be ATTACKING people like this on the internet. It's so wild and cruel and utterly iNsAnE behavior. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she's just like Miss XCX - Sky is just "super into lying rn". Because Sky did drugs and then herself became a drug and we all got addicted and we are DESPERATE for any kind of a fix okay.

I need to know your demographics and salary bracket so I know which political party to vote for so that you're punished in every facet of your life for this tired and bland poppers brained opinion. (this is sarcasm btw) A queen has spoken.

It's a lot more nuanced than that, actually. It's not about giving people what they "want", per se - plenty of artists take their sound or art in a different direction than when they started, upsetting fans and puzzling critics. It's more about having respect for yourself, the art you've created, and the willingness to be open with your fans, honest about what's going on, and commit to the brand you've created. The fact that there's so many stories and narratives around her and her career, several of them conflicting, and the absolute drought of art overall - at some point you have to acknowledge that the call is coming from inside the house, and personally - hoping for the better and supporting her WHILE ALSO making shitposts and taking the piss out of the situation, believe it or not, can coexist. I cry when I have to trim my houseplants. The woman has more to fear from walking barefoot on a beach (sand lice and hookworms) than from me. People having opinions. I can tell you that every single person who has ever contributed to this thread will be doing so, regardless of their takes.

I won't, and I do. There's a great, great amount of people out there - good people, talented people, smart people - who are thirsting for the spotlight, dying for recognition, and trying their hardest to get a single moment of attention, and being sidelined. It's frustrating, if not infuriating, to watch someone manage to get all that, and then just....squander it, throw tantrums, refuse to play "the game", tell lies, put their ego on high, and somehow still expect to still be treated like they're on boss - people can see that. It's not really fun to watch. It's going to turn some people off, and in cases where people were really rooting, hard, for someone to shine and instead they blow it up and in several places it all looks self inflicted? Some people are gonna swing the pendulum the other way and ride the bitter train all the way down into the mud when they see that happening. That kind of behavior is a way to gas off the feelings of frustration and loss. Is it the best or nicest? Probably not. But fans who really took an artists work to heart, and gave it space in their lives; fans who really identified with it deeply, only to see that work end up standing neglected as a one off, or who see the artist as ultimately tarnishing their legacy - there's absolutely some emotions in that, and sometimes it's going to go the shitty way, and people are going to take that and run with it.

Change the thread name to "Sky Ferreira H8 Campaign" or w/e (/s I love the bitch my irritation comes from a place of love and frustration and her getting in her own way and dimming her own light and talent)

Venting an opinion on an Internet forum isn't really harassing.

The way this is the version I've had for awhile.... It's at 48hz sample rate versus 44.1hz (prior leak/file I had), but the overall spec looks identical - sharp cutoff @ around 16khz for most of it and highs (what little there is) cut off @ 20khz. I suspect someone was a re-encode (either this or the one we already had).
