For people who listened to the leak, is The Grants better than Ocean Blvd? (as a song)

 

 

Spoiler

The instrumental is fuller on TG, but lyrically Ocean Blvd is stronger in the sense that there are more lyrics to Ocean Blvd. But they're both very sensitive, emotional songs

In my opinion, yes. They’re quite similar in a way, building up towards the end, but it’s a bit more interesting in structure, I would say.

 

and even though some don’t like the way it starts, I think that that’s exactly what makes it so special. You’ll see.

My last post before I force myself to get back to work...

 

of the songs I've heard, here's my colour associations:

the grants - earthy browns, autumn leaves and deep ocean-blues that turn into a lighter sky-blue as the song progresses

ocean blvd - ivory white and dirty, stained porcelain over dark blues, with a few tiny bits of neon blue when the piano dances over verse 2

sweet - earthy browns, autumn leaves and deep forest greens, occasional yellow like her shirt in the Arcadia video

a&w - faded sepia tones, almost black and white, and when the beat switches it goes dirty gun-metal, oil, smoke, petrol and electric blues

fingertips - all very light baby-pink, baby-yellow, baby-blue and lots of smoky grey over everything.

 

ok now do yours, bye

 

The Grants - white, black, grey 

Ocean Blvd - dark blue, silver, gold

Sweet - light grey, white, pale yellow 

A&W - black, grey

Fingertips - grey, light blue + green

Grandfather - blue + silver

For me it is! I don't like her voice in ocean boulevard some parts are a bit raw but the grants is perfect for me although I thinke it's production is not richer than ocean boulevard

Can’t wait for the Spotify numbers for “The Grants” because the criminals keep preaching leaks don’t affect sales and streams. I would like to be proven wrong :nails:.

I hope it debuts with 200k streams in 24 hours so Lorde stans could somehow find your Twitter account to laugh at you. :oprah3:

I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.

bb singles were perfect sorry :oprah3:

BB is maybe my favourite album by her, but dont think the singles choice was the best possible.

 

IMO, they should have been title track, Dealer and Thunder.

I personally think they’re on the same level. I like the vocals and lyrics of The Grants more, but I like the structure, production, and buildup of DYK more. Both great songs.

The majority of leak listeners are really people on here and Reddit. Even then, not all of them listen to the leaks.

Idk why y’all are bitching about the grants being the single, you all was eating that up a few days ago :yawn:

personally I think it takes away from the listening experience to have access to an opener/closer before an album. It like spoils the ending/beginning of a movie..

The Grants is

Spoiler

a grower. Listened to it when the few untagged songs leaked and was like ehhhh uhh no thank you. Loved Sweet immediately.  Cried at fingertips and became obsessed the second time I listened.  Didn't listen to the Grants again till yall figured out it was new single, and then I loved it and think it's beautiful.  But the intro still throws me off.  I may be allergic to gospel, but it's just like, not really fitting for the rest of the song to me and I wish it started with instrumental or Lana, still love the song
