Why do Eraser, Gluestick and Papercut (a GASLIGHTING bop) eat up every other track in K-12 and they aren’t even in the album? 
 

completely unrelated but my class was literally having a fcking lil mabu concert and i almost cried because i was struggling to focus and i had a C and my teacher let me leave and do my work somewhere else so real 

YES. YES. YES.

I truly respect her wish for privacy, but I also really wish we'd get more looks into her creative process every now and then to make up for how little anyone sees or hears from her. 
 
Like, we don't need to know what she buys at the grocery store, who designs her underwear, or where she bought her latest keychain.. We just want to get a closer look at what it looks like when she's in her creative space. For someone who wants her fans to be so connected to her, she allows surprisingly few opportunities for that these days. But I guess that's the double edged sword of her career- she wants connection, but not the attention and expectations that it comes with.

someone needs to get into her meet & greets and ask her if she could do little Youtube webseries documenting her recording/writing her next releases.
and as someone who loves a good bonus CD/DVD release, she could put that on a DVD with the release on her webstore or something

I don’t usually do informative posts, but this caught my eye. There is a lot of confusion about the K-12/After School sessions and what is for which project.
 
*1  Melanie originally claimed K-12 was done around July 16th, 2016, with only deluxe tracks still being worked on. - we know this isn’t true to the final tracklist, as Recess and Show & Tell weren’t done by this time.
 
Some claim Show & Tell was an After School concept originally, but I don’t think that’s true.
 
*2  May 2017 - Melanie states that she’s “finishing up bonus tracks”.
*3  and in August 2017, in an interview, is summed up to saying: “standard tracklist is being mastered and that she’s finishing up the bonus tracks now”.
 
Erase Her, Notebook, and Trophy were all recorded in June 2017, making them bonus tracks to K-12 originally, by Melanie’s own word.
 
* She did say this in 2020 on Instagram: “I’ve been working on the After School EP since 2017."
However, I interpret this to mean when Notebook was recorded. - I doubt she had the direct concept of After School when the June 2017 sessions were being recorded, especially when she refers to the deluxe for K-12 as “bonus tracks” in August 2017.

She already explained this whole thing in her 2020 Billboard interview 
 
I started writing After School in 2017 with the intention of it being connected to K-12 as a little bonus thing, but I kept writing and so the 3 songs I intended on releasing ended up turning into a 7-song EP.

Rough Love is actually one of her best written songs. She was 17... and it was solo-writing. The Cry Baby version even had huge potential, if it weren't for the half-baked vocals and mixing 🥴

While I don't think all celebrities have to voice their opinions and speak up on politics, I think it's great that Melanie is raising awareness and isn't afraid to stand by her beliefs. I'm still seeing shit about people like Regina Spektor, and it makes me really happy to know Melanie's been using her platform to support Palestine―she was actually one of the first artists I saw talking about it. She's been super vocal about BLM for years too and even donated + went to multiple protests. Love her

if by high quality you mean lossless, thats not really a thing for Mel's unreleased.
with her unreleased, its quality is all over the place

i think about this a lot. her writing was so much better when it was just her and her guitar. there are some lines in the new album that are well written, but it's really nothing compared to her earlier work. it's very strange

Justice for Needle and Thread, a thorough masterclass in how good Melanie can weave a concept together 

Melanie should make more songs like this, it's still one of my favourites
Her voice just sounds heavenly here especially on the bridge
