I don’t think the word trans, specifically, has been used, but the female pronouns were confirmed by SOPHIE’s team when reached out to, by Stereogum and by others.

She’s meeting fans at every show, either before or after her set. She’ll announce where/when the day of your show!

I really believe she never had any intention of releasing those songs, seeing as she was so adamant about that since their debut (which is totally whack, lol - don’t get me wrong). As I’ve said before, I don’t think we’d even have Roll With Me to this day had Number 1 Angel not happened, and she changed her mind about No Angel as well because of the overwhelming reception (and I’m sure Sophie’s liking of the song had a part in that as well). I think it’s more likely she would’ve released outtakes from the mixtape, or remixes of its songs, demos, things of that sort. But who knows for sure!

Completely agree; her/her label (mostly the latter) play it way, way, way too safe with single choices. Even Bounce or GNO, for example, may be too experimental by pop standards, yet they’d probably draw in a lot more attention just for standing out! I don’t understand why Atlantic won’t ever take a chance with Charli.

The Exchange tracks were never mentioned in that context; everyone just made assumptions. In an interview around Boys’ release, she said we’d get another single by the end of the year!

Can you confirm any other live songs, like On & On, True Romance and Goodbye? I’m surprised O&O (presumably) isn’t there, to be honest.

Wait, lol, I’m dumb. You’re right!

There are titles/lengths on Repsearch!! - BB: 3:22 (also known as Riot Gal) - Linking With You: 3:23 (also known as All I Do) - Roots: 3:31 - Run Away: 3:05 - Turn My Heart To Stone: 3:07 - When I Was Young: 3:39 That’s it though. I’m worried it really is an EP...?

Wow I’m excited! Someone should Shazam all the other live songs too!

Yes!

Stargate is almost definitely involved with the leaked songs - however, it can be hard to tell just how involved they are when you look at a song like After The Afterparty, which is quite heavily Stargate-produced yet still features the slightest Sophie touch. For example, Bounce is quite obviously the result of Sophie whereas The One I Die For, to me, is similar to ATAP in that it sounds almost entirely Stargate-produced with just a few signature Sophie sounds sprinkled throughout. I would’ve guessed that Can You Hear Me was entirely produced by Stargate, yet Sophie co-wrote it and therefore likely did some production on it as well. On the contrary, Girls’ Night Out and Good Girls are cases of Sophie using a more formal pop production. As for BloodPop, I don’t really hear him in anything besides maybe Come To My Party? A lot of this is obviously my own speculation, of course!

I think at least a snippet leaked in Discord quality because I remember people referring to a snippet as “Run For Your Money” before the writer’s demo was available.

Yeah, it’s real - I saw it when it was up.

Don’t forget Hey Boy Hey Girl (feat. will.i.am) as well as Boys & Girls, of which she co-wrote with will.i.am!

Sorry if this has been pointed out already, but in the comments section of Pop The Balloons on Genius, someone said: “This song was written for Little Mix, this was never meant for the upcoming album.” And the person who commented this added lyrics to songs like “Midnight” and “Coo Coo Crazy” before they leaked, so they’re probably legit? They recently transcribed this, for example: https://genius.com/Charli-xcx-glow-2016-lyrics

Looks like she did a new song live called ‘l i s t e n’? And a cover of Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’. https://instagram.com/p/BZFFImvABub/ Clip of the new song: https://instagram.com/p/BZFFbQ3gISC/

I don't think it's on the internet anymore. (It's 'Chinatown' and 'Tigra' by the way )

Bella Thorne recorded X-Ray Spex too! But didn't release it.

I think it's worth pointing out that No Angel was debuted at the Exchange show in LA, of which the entire point was to play some demos that weren't going to be released. Keep in mind, Roll With Me was debuted there, and it likely wouldn't have been released had Number 1 Angel not happened. A little after the Exchange show, she was asked about No Angel in an interview, saying she wasn't sure if she would put it on the album. A few weeks later, she liked some tweets saying she had told fans it would for sure be on the album, and she's continued playing it live since. I guess she changed her mind about No Angel because of the reception, as well as the fact that Sophie thought it was special.

Can You Hear Me was first revealed here, and Girls' Night Out was mentioned as well. Yeah, Bounce was mentioned quite a bit. She confirmed it as being on the album during a Tumblr Q&A, as well as during a radio interview, I think around After The Afterparty's release.

Charli has said multiple times that the album is "basically" finished but wouldn't be totally finished until she had a solidified release date. She also said that about half of the songs she has ready would for sure be on the album, and the other half could be scrapped or put onto another mixtape in the future (as if). That being said, the album has never really had a tracklist, because as we all know, it's never had a solid release date. It's pretty safe to say that what leaked is a collection of songs recorded for XCX3, and not the actual album itself, since the album doesn't exist in its entirety. I think there are more songs intended for the album that we don't know about (No Angel remaining unleaked should be proof of that), and I also doubt that every leaked song would've made the cut.

She told someone on Twitter that the name of a snippet she teased was "I Pray For Rain", so the underlined quote is probably referring to that song.

I don't know if this is something you can answer, but &burn's title is obviously meant to follow 'watch', right? Does this mean 'watch' will also be on the album with '&burn' following it on the tracklist? Or does '&burn' get its title from the context of the song itself? Also, do you know for sure if the next release will be an album? Hopefully my question makes sense.

By the way, apparently that live version of '&burn' posted a few pages back wasn't actually, well, '&burn'. In the comments on Genius, someone says Billie confirmed said live song to be called 'Another Stupid Song'.
