I think those snippets in the background of Jon Batiste Interlude are from Candy Necklace  sounds great!

 

Spoiler

i was kind of wondering if that interlude was more of like a candy necklace reprise type thing, especially since it seems like the judah smith interlude transitions directly into CN.

This was one of the thoughts I had while listening to it

My rating of just the songs I’ve heard tonight. Don’t hate me 

 

 

 

1. Grandfather- just everything I want in a song. Perfect melody, mostly great lyrics, OBSESSED with the vocals 
2. Paris, Texas- this one is surprising me because on the first listen I liked it but on the second listen it just clicked for me
   1. Fishtail- I love the lyrics, love the melody, love the beat. It makes me happy 
3. Peppers- SO fun, I love the music and the production and it feels like summer 
4. Kintsugi- absolutely heartbreakingly stunningggg 
5. Let the light in- very sweet and lovely and I’m a huge fjm fan and I love their voices together 
6. Margaret- I can see why some people don’t like it but I think it’s darling. It brings me so much warmth and happiness, it feels so secure and calming 
7. Taco truck x VB- not loving this yet. I like the taco truck part, but the Venice bitch just seems silly to me, it doesn’t make sense. It kind of feels like a fan made edit to me. I might need to listen more

Well this was an insane experience. I suck at writing out my thoughts and I’m honestly speechless anyways so I can’t even try. It served everything I wanted and needed it to and more.

upon first listen paris, texas was giving coraline

 

but i promise all of you that when you listen to it several times over it begins to develop an entirely different meaning and that dark energy goes away

 

the song is steeped in a certain bittersweet energy. it really sounds like shes reflecting upon her youth and her endeavors/travels, and it puts into words and melody that feeling you have when you leave somewhere that you’ve spent a lot of your time

 

in the outro she says “when you’re home, you’re home, when you’re home, you’re home. you’re home when you’re alone”

 

feeling at home with yourself, its like that warmth within yourself that comforts you no matter where you go. i imagine introverts will fall in love with this track

Lowk does the VB part of Taco Truck sample Soljia Boy?? There’s a sound in the trap part that sounds very familiar

The “yeah” at the end of taco truck/VB. Idk why but that’s just perfect. What a crazy album. I’m so glad my girl is INSANE and so talented 

 

Spoiler

Literally gonna have to take Benadryl to knock myself out so I don’t listen to any of the songs again until at least tomorrow. Really I should wait until release day but I know I won’t 🙃

I like Fishtail, but the vocal mix doesn't convince me.

 

[imaginist 2,019]

Spoiler

Idk y’all. I’m listening to The Grants audio on YouTube and I instantly noticed the quality is FAR better than these leaks. 

 

[uvbabe 4,730]

The title track still gives me goosebumps like the first time

Spoiler

It's on my top 5 for sure 

 

[Pink Flamingo 17,169]

My expectations for taco truck were WAYY too high. I did this to myself. If I hadn’t listened to the snippets I think I would love it more. It’s growing on me

I haven’t listened yet… but how does this album compare to say, Blue Banisters? I hope it’s better than that one…at least, sonically. And also does it top UV and Honeymoon as her best? I love NFR too. I just want to know how it ranks to all of those.
