wait, the number of different listeners to the album and bonus tracks is kind of suspicious 

i checked and the bonus tracks' scrobbles are all from march 27th, no other day

but all bonus tracks have the same length like taco truck

Most likely fake scrobbles but still...

With no videos and an artist as niche as her, over 100k is crazy good.

This album really gets better with every listen 

 

I’m kinda disappointed that the album leaked early and then we got all these other leaks this week. This album deserves better than for this thread to be lowkey kinda dead.

Maybe bcs half of the album is kinda inaccessible and doesn’t have replay value unless you wanna torture yourself with trauma dumping (although it remains beautiful)

 

Or that A&W was the most innovative and best song but we already received it in February so the hype for it on album release date wasn’t strong.

 

Taco Truck was also severely overhyped.

Drew's production on Let The Light In turned out perfectly. His drums sound satisfying, the strings in the last chorus, the electric guitar 

[TrashMagiq 59,000]

I haven't listened to the album in a couple of days and just listened again and it sounds so much better omg idk if it's because I just gave the album a bit of rest or if the mastering being fixed made it sound better (cause last time I listened the audio still wasn't updated on my phone lol) but this is lovely girl

Fingertips becoming my most played song on the album even tho I low-key kinda shat on it when I heard the l**k 

[Let the Light In 18,866]

Can someone check credits page of Peppers, Does it really have her niece Phoenix Grant at synthesizer?  

 

and did anyone figure out where is Sam Dew's background vocals at A&W?

[TrashMagiq 59,000]

The censoring of "mother" on Fingertips really grew on me. The fact that she intentionally took that word out makes that line even more devastating.

[Jeanne Dielman 5,996]

Fingertips is giving Björk circa Vespertine. It’s also become my currently favourite song off of the new album. A career highlight (well, Ocean Blvd has plenty of them anyway!). 

[Make me your Dream Life 88,927]

i think kintsugi's my favorite track

Yes, Phoenix is credited. I wonder if Sam Dew only helped to write the song and somehow got miscredited as background vocals. Even with Dolby Atmos stems I didn't notice his vocals.

That's so cute. I bet she just pushed random buttons on synthesizer and they credited her. Now I wonder which part of the song.

Could it be at 10:35, there's someone talking on the left channel but it would be so random to credit him over that. Maybe it was an inside joke. He talked while they were recording and they credited him.

I don't come here very often. Can someone please summarize this thread? Thanks.  

 

(I'm patiently waiting for my CD before I hear this album. Fuck streaming.)
