the necklace looks so photoshopped to me  it looks too HQ compared to the rest of her 

I get what you're saying but unless lmdr did it, it's real, there's no way that's a faceswap

I feel like in terms of raw emotion and vocal delivery this is the closest we got to Honeymoon 2.0

The 2nd verse of Sweet Carolina is already fucking iconic and hilarious.

didnt the fake insider arcadia user say they photoshopped that picture??? or were they talking about a diff one

[x VB 12,508]

Unsure if I want to listen to it or not. Is it that low quality? What about the skips? 

[Crys10 3,319]

I’m not listening till 22nd but can anyone please tell me about Beautiful? No one seems to be talking about it. Is it bad?

no clue if i heard the real version but whatever version of "Thunder" I just heard is such a serve! The strings and the guitar are so perfect.

I like it a lot! It’s a really pretty ballad - there’s just not a whole lot to say about it I guess!

My Top 5 in no specific order after 3 listens:

Dealer

Nectar of the Gods

Wildflower Wildfire

 Thunder

Black Bathing Suit

BBS is a baddie anthem, a triumphant statement, a reason to live. She invites us to scream we're fresh out of fucks forever

My thoughts are slowly trickling in… sorry for the multiple posts.

 

I actually love the little additional flourishes her new collaborators brought to the music. The drums at the end of BBS, the horns on IYLDWM, the sparkling, ornate piano on Beautiful, the lush  and defiant Violets for Roses, the strings on Thunder… It actually made me crave more newer material from them, even though we basically have an entire new album of material even excluding the older songs.

 

On first listen, Cherry Blossom might be my favorite of the older songs. It just sounds so pure and sweet. Like a little taste of the joy to come on Sweet Carolina. 
 

It’s interesting how peaceful and reflective the album becomes right after Wildflower Wildfire.

I’m at work rn so can’t listen to it all atm but I did hear Dealer a few hours ago and was thrown off

By the lower pitch lmao. Looks like the version from last month was pitched up. Still love it tho, she’s a classic

 

[FFXSoul91 1,039]

Wow. Realizing the Dealer version we had was pitched.
