Her albums usually leak the week of release, so we have a week or so to go. I know, everyone's crazy for it. 

sometimes it has happened that it leaked the week before which would start from tomorrow

I've started listening to The Grants a lot towards the end of each day. This is that song, it's just what you need.

I find it sentimental, most of all. "I'm doing it for the family line," etc. Huh? Leave it for your diary, Ls. Musically, it's just not on the level of OB or AW. But a lot of folks seem to like it around here.

Since she's officially releasing The Grants on Tuesday I'm waiting until then to listen to it. After that I'm down to any full album leak lol

The Grants would be better without the singers at the beginning

I was close to listening too.. but by the time I convinced myself to do it I couldn’t find it and I saw it as a sign to wait.. at least I have something to look forward to on Tuesday!

even though the album was announced three months ago, and march 24th seemed like way too long, time went really fast and it's already march 12th

I keep thinking it’s releasing next week… but we still have two whole weeks

for a single version i somewhat agree but imo it is a great opening to the album as a whole

I do wish The Grants stayed as cinematic as the first few seconds when it officially starts(not the choir). I feel like it plummets and becomes boring until the very last minute but that’s just me 🫢

Peppers sounds like it was really influenced by Jack Donoghue… it has a really witchy trap vibe, definitely more “fun” than Salem’s stuff tho

 

[Eugene 26,685]

surely today we will have another snippet in HQ at the same time like every day.

love The Grants? It seems that the general consensus on LB is that it’s underwhelming, both lyrically and sonically. But maybe it’ll be better in the context of the album? (I still haven’t listened btw)

Agreed! It kinda doesn't go anywhere; it builds only a little toward the end. When I first heard the title, I thought it was going to be epic. I imagined a big swooping orchestra, a big hook, and some mild electronica building up in the background ala Cinnemon Girl. But instead, the track is very mild and subdued. Kinda like the backside of Honeymoon in spirit (Swan Song, for example).

might be the only one who fckin loves the opening to The Grants idk…i always find myself harmonizing with the singers at the beginning like they just sound so good.
