On her site there's 4 covers, only 1 revealed, 3 blurred out with a "reveal to come" message - but one of them is a light pink color while the other two look like blurred versions of what we've already seen (alt covers on other sites; target 4 pic cover). I wonder what the pink one is? Or if it's just to throw us off.

Since she likes to genre shift what if she just gagged us all and the next XCX is actually straight up rap/hip-hop feud Charli. Just nothing but 11 diss tracks on some "Beam Me Up Scotty" ass beats.

ew stop nty I don't want a fantasy where the lead single is she's talking about having a kid I'm gay we don't do those

Speedrun on your fans instead of edge them for 10 years like Sky. Bold strategy.

Web store exclusive with Crash got mispressed and people sent black variants instead of the red marble and they refunded people for it. My copy ended up being entirely free b/c that's the variant I ordered. (I turned around and nicked one off Discogs for not tooo bad a markup). Honestly it seems like retailers might be more stable. An album, title, artwork announcement before a lead single announcement?

Not to be just a straight up disrespectful and ethically horrific shitgibbon, but like... If Lana's old leaked/unreleased shit ends up like this: https://rollinrecs.com/collections/drop-collection/products/lana-del-rey-lana-del-rey-a-k-a-lizzy-grant https://rollinrecs.com/collections/drop-collection/products/lana-del-rey-from-the-end https://rollinrecs.com/collections/drop-collection/products/lana-del-rey-may-jailer-sirens https://www.gracerecord.com/product/lana-del-rey-unreleased-import-/8086?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true Where the fuck is Charli. I ain't talking about those shitty "make your own vinyl" sites either where they're just direct cutting plastic with dubious sound quality; I'm talking about properly mastered plates and real pressed discs. We've got SO MANY high quality tracks and enough shit in lossless or near losses over the years. Like, my copy of Nelly Furtado's loose was a boot and I've had it for a minute (now there's finally an official of it eons later), and the quality on that is like, violently identifiable as coming from some compressed mp3 source, but it was still pressed and sold. We're already loads above that; XCX World's got shit that's lossless ("real" or fan made via stem bounces idgaf quality is quality), there's so many leaks from various eras that are perfect enough quality that could cohesively be bundled up into *something*. Idk I'm being entitled and grumpy.

(Although, I will say that Sophie & Charli's work together was of a certain caliber and quality that will be hard to replicate/emulate/achieve again.)

Because when it's right and perfect, you don't change it.

TikTok executives found shitting their pants and contemplating suicide at the thought.

Seriously. As someone who "hated" PC music when it first came out and strongly disliked just how....harsh?.... it was? Over time, the more and more I listen to it the more I pick up on the fact that Sophie had the right ear and talent to really shape the fuck out of the genre and sound. There's a handful of losses in the music industry that leave it worse off and lacking, and she is definitely one of them for me. When I get my hands on a time machine I'm going back and stopping that one....

F'real. As an elder (cough over 30 cough) who was raised on 80s and 90s pop as a kid, I was so happy to see the reference.

Don't you just like, rub it on your lips and pucker like

Y'all meme but I've said it before I pissed off someone well enough to have myself semi-doxxed and my photos (face) photoshopped into cartel and ISIS beheading videos and spammed all over YouTube and various sites I was on, so...... pissing off people on the internet to land in that "dark situation" is weirdly in my sphere of "possible life situations" Girl I LOVE her Fortnite skin every time I use it I'm like "Yes, little shitheads, is it I, a F*G, and I will be getting top 10 and you will be getting bottom dead."

ngl tho the lyric "if you find yourself in a dark situation, just turn on your like and be like "yes and??" It's very much giving, "stop being poor!", "just don't be depressed", etc. A little....simplistic. Not to mention.... "dark situation", girl if I'm in a "dark situation" it's because I've got a gun to my head after pissing off some internet crime circle and there's a dead body on the floor in front of me in order to "send a message", and I've got 24 hours to locate the files I've misplaced or the bomb hidden under the train tracks goes off or some whacked out dramatic shit. I ain't in a "dark situation" because I dickrode someone a little sooner than I should have. That's just called dealing with the consequences.

As a kid where both parents "tried to stick it out for the kids", let me lay it down straight (in my limited case) One parent wanted therapy/couples counseling. The other one couldn't put down the narcissism to admit they could be the problem. One parent had anger issues and when frustrated with the other, the children were the targets who got the brunt of it Children were allowed/disallowed to do certain things, just to spite the other parent Extended family members started to discuss with us children rather adult topics regarding our parents relationship at inappropriate ages "Sticking it out" led to one parent having MULTIPLE affairs and cheating, for YEARS - in one case going so far as to introduce the mistress to us kids Sorry but like, I would have loved for the divorce to have happened when I was 3 rather than when I was 13. Rip the bandaid off and move on. Some shit is irreconcilable between two people, regardless of children or not, and some folks are the sorts of persons and personalities where they're already looking for "the next one" before they've fully jumped ship from who they are with now. There's never going to be a nice, wholesome, PR-friendly, "everyone is happy" win in those cases. Ever. Loss mitigate and move on.

You can't introduce too much at once, the body can't handle it. (There's Irony here cause in the song she literally says don't comment on it and here I am lollerskates) Fr.

I open my phone and I order a pizza from little square pictures and tabs. I open my phone and I order a man from Grindr from little square pictures and tabs. I open my phone and buy products on Amazon from little square pictures and tabs. Naturally, people go on social media now, and "order" what they want in the same manner. "I pull up phone, I press things, I get what I want from it", is the conditioning. They don't realize that their fave influencers and media personalities aren't required to capitulate to their wants and desires like other apps and services on the Internet.

I'm half and half on whether we got it or not. It's just a single song, and I personally think it's in the ballpark. Maybe just not a home run.

I hate making body comments but she really does need to eat a grape and have a vitamin water like

...Yes, and? ...Yes, and? ...Yes, and? ...Yes, and? ...Yes, and? OKAY MEME REPLIES ASIDE..... 1. It takes two to tango. She homewrecked? Okay, but he participated as well. Homeboy could have said "Nah fam". He wanted out as well. So much heat on her but like, doesn't this qualify as "Shitty Dad Behavior"? He pretty much said to his ex "Fuck the kid, guess you'll get a child support check or whatever, I've got new puss." 2. The child is like a year old. The kid isn't going to have PTSD from this per say. This isn't like coming home and explaining to a 7 year old they have a new mommy now and to forget the old one. Kid is still shitting in diapers and doesn't even have object permanence yet. The divorce rate in America is something like 40%? It's fairly common that marriages go to shit, and sometimes kids are involved, sometimes kids aren't, and personally? I think the "Oh mY gOd tHeRs a ChIlD iNvOlVeDDDD" is just pearl clutching for the dramatics. If he wanted out and wasn't happy, but stayed together anyway, like - as the child of parents who were DEEPLY miserable but stayed together for years "for the children" - I'll say that in my experience sometimes the divorce and split up is honestly the healthier option for the kid. 3. Not @ anyone in any of these comments or the ones I quoted, but people in general, put relationships and sex on SUCH a high pedestal. The sheer outrage in the name of Morals and Monogamy whenever the topic of cheating or breakup/divorce comes around utterly baffles me. The aura of those conversations in some places online weirdly veers into pick-me and incel/gaycel territory and my eyes just glaze over at the projection and self-inserts into the discourse. On the music/song? It's stupid and fun, and honestly? If she releases an entire album that's basically "Yeah, I did it, and I've got a 4 octave range, and all you've got are bills, so what's fuckin' good?" I'd die. I'm here for the chaos because what else can I do?

RIPPED JEANS WANNA SEE WHATS UNDERNEATH I JUST NEED A PHYSICAL With that fat ass "whaaaaPOW" synth in the intro. That. That's the track where the opening note says "Lock in, bitch."

Creed is w/e but Linkin Park seriously hit the scene and the time and blew a lot of shit away. I'd love to see some references and homages sonically and thematically to that shit. Like, don't get me wrong, woo woo omg love me some poppity pop pop pop, but so many girlies are like "I'm gonna do a grunge album! I'm gonna do a rock album!", and it's just.... pop-punk. The "pop" part never quite goes away. Like no, go all in. Gimme Linkin Park and Nu Metal vibes. Gimme shit like Marilyn Manson. Go fucking J-Rock and Visual Kei on it all. Get weird and dirty and raw and dump allllll the pop and "sanitized" girl rock and go all in on something else entirely. (Of course the labels would NEVER b/c CoMmErCiAlLy vIaBle or w/e, but just fucking blackmail your manager it can't be that fucking hard)
