EWISW & LAAD are still my favourite K.Flay albums alongside her previous EPs. I will agree that Solutions is her weakest project, but she picked up again with Inside Voices / Outside Voices which were two EPs that she then repackaged into a full album with additional tracks. Definitely give that a listen if you haven’t already. There’s so many standouts on that record that I was beginning to type out my favourites and then realised I listed nearly the whole album lol. Her newest record MONO comes out in one week from today, and both singles are really good especially Raw Raw x

I 100% agree EWISW and LAAD are my favorites, playing Time For You as we speak  I'm currently going through my old playlist for her, completely forgot about West Ghost, another golden album/mixtape in her discog. Her early stuff really is just so flawless  Lowkey tho this is reminding me of my disappointment in 2019 listening to Solutions for the first time EEE-  The double EP/album is the one I haven't listened to yet so I'll definitely check that out!

 

Another thing, just recently Champagne started playing in my head so I went back and listened to it. When I was younger it was the one song I didn't like off EWISW but I love it now, it is so good  I think its cause I've grown and my taste has expanded and its great to finally come around to it~

Her early EPs/mixtapes are actually probably my favourite works overall. I relate to so much of it. Her early work has such a unique sound and incredible writing. She shocks me with her lyrics sometimes, in a good way.

One of her most creatively shocking lyrics for me is actually from Champagne - “my heart was never broken, it was circumsised” Like who else would think of that?? Just like you, that was initially one of my least favourites from the record, but now it’s one of my favourites among her whole discography. I’ve actually done a few karaoke renditions of it with friends because I’m able to impress everyone during the fast rapping parts lmaooo.

Solutions definitely felt a bit uninspired, but IV/OV really is great and she goes back towards more of the sound from EWISW. If I had to choose my top 3 from it I’d say Caramel and Symphonies, Nothing Can Kill Us, and The Muck… but there’s sooo many tracks I love from that record and there’s maybe only 2 or 3 that I don’t quite click with from it. Whereas with Solutions, it’s the other way around - there’s only about 3 I click with and I could do without the others. Not In California is a great standout from that record though x

EWISW remains my fav album of hers!

 

Her first two albums - Suburban Rap Queen and MASHed Potatoes - are super eccentric and quirky if you dig rap Flay. They're both unreleased but can be found !

I had her sign my Suburban Rap Queen CD at a show some years back and she was so shocked that I had it

Champagne is a lyrical masterpiece and sooo fun to rap alongside to.

Driving through the bay, pray for understanding, I’ll be silent for a day, wait until I vanish and I’m fighting for a break

Vacant kind of passion never really can account for all the ways in which I’ve acted
Tried to call my daddy but he’s been gone a decade, so I’m drinking like an addict ‘til I’m fucking with a headache
Happiness sporadic so I’m crying on a Wednesday, not trying to be combative but I’m dealing with some dead weight
Verbalise the hurt inside, make me wanna burn alive
My heart was never broken it was circumcised!

Whew!! x

I completely agree about Champagne. Its so strange how songs can transform even though they're still exactly the same, or I guess its how we grow and change as people lmao And smashing it at karaoke yes!!! I wanna learn to rap too, it seems so fun and cathartic 

Solutions isn't even that bad in all honesty its just, like you said, def the least inspired. But songs like Nervous, Not in California, Only The Dark, and a couple others are on my playlist. DNA is a lovely track but I remember also hating it because I despise my father  so it was difficult to connect with it. But playing it back now its actually quite beautiful isolating it from my own experiences. Also I'll make a note to those three off IV/OV

Omg I don't think I've heard of those  Do you know where to find any downloads? 

 

Agree with EWISW being a fav, still have my purchase off iTunes on my phone cause of its impact on me

I’m currently putting together her unreleased collection. I’ll post the downloads here when I finish them up. (I’m just missing 4 songs!) I came across a lot of stuff I didn’t even know existed so I’m excited to share!

 

Also, MONO has come out and the album is amazing! I’d say equal to or even a bit better than IV/OV - which is my second fav! Yes I’m Serious, Perfectly Alone, and Bar Soap are standouts

I’m claiming Perfectly Alone! She talked about the song briefly near the end of a recent interview which has gotten me excited for the track, especially since I related to a lot of what she said in the interview. I literally replayed the video 5+ times lol x

You won with this one…

Suburban Rap Queen (2005)

[appetite whetting v2.0] (2007)

MASHed Potatoes (2009)

I Stopped Caring in '96 (2011)

West Ghost (2013)

Other Unreleased (26 songs)

Spoiler

"So Ghetto (Remix)" was officially lost/unleaked until my posting this so I'm rly excited about that lel

 

I also wanted to list some notes about the songs in the "Other Unreleased" folder:

- 2 Weak, Broke Again, Fuck and Run, How Does It Feel, LA Again, Lost in the Sun, Lost Kitten, and Rest Your Mind are officially unofficially released, as they were all just released on Soundcloud

- There is a second version of Dating My Dad featuring PVRIS but I haven't come across it yet - will update when I do!

- Can't confirm any of these, but based on sound alone, "Life = Trap" is probably an outtake from K.Flay EP or What It Is. "Seen It All" appears to be an outtake from Life as a Dog. "Look at Me Dancing Alone" appears to be an outtake from Every Where Is Some Where. "Xanax" and "Why Is Everything" appear to be outtakes from Solutions. Her earlier stuff is a bit harder to distinguish but the other solo tracks are likely outtakes from SRP & AW. The rest of it is just standalone collabs and covers!

 

 

Enjoy!

Thank you!! Downloading them now, thank you for taking time to compile all these. Legit never would find any rare sessions/unreleased if it weren't for these masterposts

Updated unreleased collection with both leaked versions of "Dating My Dad" featuring PVRIS. A couple remixes of "Sister" leaked but I can't find em right now. I'll share them once I come across them again

[Ultra Violet 19,278]

I found her in 2014, listened to Make Me Fade and Can't Sleep on repeat. Theyre such good songs they still sound new tbh.

I like some of her newer songs but nothing has stuck like those 2.

I’m literally listening to K.Flay right now LOL I’ve been listening to her concert setlist on repeat all day since I realised my show is two weeks from today! (v disappointed she isn’t performing Yes, I’m Serious from her new record as that’s one of my favourites, but I understand since it’s a pretty emotional & intense song.) I’m so excited, she’s one of my favourites to see live as she puts so much passion into every performance. It’ll be my 7th show of hers. If anyone ever has the opportunity to see her live, I def recommend catching her if you can. Such electric energy every time. She also has probably the best fans I’ve ever met - so kind, welcoming, respectful, yet gives back the same energy she gives us at her shows.

I also discovered her in 2014 with those two same songs, and have been hooked ever since. My favourite records are still Life as a Dog and Every Where is Some Where along with some of her older EPs, but each of her newer records still have their gems. Solutions is still her weakest project imo partially because it’s so short but has its moments, Inside Voices/Outside Voices is really great, MONO was a grower at first but I’ve come to really love it as it does have a lot of amazing songs (Yes, I’m Serious and Perfectly Alone are career highlights)

She’s definitely geared more towards an alt/punk rock sound now and does less rap, which is a bit of a shame because she spits so well, but I’ve come to love the new sound too and she’ll still include songs that give a nod towards her OG sound on her newer records. But regardless of sonic style, in my opinion, she’s one of the greatest writers of all time. Like, right up there with Lana for me, which a big reason why I’m such a fan. So many of her songs evoke such intense emotion for me - she always makes me feel something, which is what keeps me coming back for more even a decade+ later xx

Motivating for me to listen to her more!

Its funny because alt/rock is more my true taste in music, and I know K.Flay does it good, but something about her groovy earlier songs feels right to me (for her)!

I went to the K.Flay x Grandson show in ATL and it was a blast! I hadn't ever listened to Grandson until a few weeks before the show when I listened to a playlist of his setlist so I could become familiar with his songs. He was great! I can see why he and K.Flay are close friends and collaborators, they both have amazing energy. There was also a very sweet and intimate moment when he came into the crowd to sing Heather, which is my favourite. Tears all around. I will say though, his fans are definitely more intense than K.Flay's skkkk. The guy in front of me was fist-bumping the air during his set but kept slamming me in the head with his elbow as I am very short  That guy got his comeuppance though because before Grandson performed his final song Blood//Water, he threw out water bottles to the crowd so they could open and spray them during the chorus, and that guy got hit right in the eye with one of the bottles, and it must have really hurt because he collapsed to the ground lmaooo. I chose that moment to exit the crowd and go to the merch booth to buy a K.Flay shirt

K.Flay & Grandson sang Zen and Peaches together during Grandson's set, but no additional guests - would've been amazing if Sam was there!! Here are some (not the best quality, rip my iPhone 13) pictures I took at the show from the third row -

Spoiler

 

 

We have so many of the same favourites sjkghsk  Taste!! I'm going to do mine with 2-5 songs for each depending on the project's length:

 

 

K.Flay EP: No Duh, So Fast So Maybe

I Stopped Caring in ‘96: Danger Starts, Less Than Zero, Waiting

Eyes Shut: 10th Ave, Stop Focus

What if It Is: Starfucker, Hail Mary

West Ghost: Another Round*, Fucking Crazy, Fleas Navidad

Life as a Dog: Make Me Fade, Can't Sleep, I'm Good, Fever, Thicker Than Dust

Every Where Is Some Where: Hollywood Forever, Slow March, Champagne, High Enough, Giver

Solutions: Not in California, Bad Vibes, Nervous

Inside Voices / Outside Voices: Caramel and Symphonies, Nothing Can Kill Us, The Muck, My Name Isn't Katherine, I'm Afraid of the Internet

MONO: Perfectly Alone, Yes I'm Serious, Punisher, Raw Raw, Hustler

Collaborations: Heartbreak Summer (w/ RAC), Favourite Colour is Blue (w/ Robert DeLong), Zen (w/ Grandson & X Ambassadors)

Misc: FML, 2 Weak

 

* - Another Round is my favourite K.Flay song of all time. I relate to like every. single. word. of that song. Many drunk cries have been had to that song, but it also brings me a strange sense of hope. I saw her perform it live at her show in ATL in 2017, and whewwww the passion... the whole crowd was SILENT until the very end. So moving. Another Round, luv u forever xx

 

I haven't listened to her earlier mixtape albums in a minute so I don't feel confident in choosing favourites atm, I need to revist them and come back! I've also never explored her unreleased music before, I didn't even know she had any that surfaced! So @That Venice Bitch if u wanna hit me up with the Miss Wilmette Collection, it would be very appreciated

Definitely get back into her!! Assuming you've listened to the Life as a Dog album, pick right back up with Every Where is Some Where if you haven't already. It's a good fusion between her old and new sound, and I feel it's her most accessable album with a little something for everyone. If you do love that alt/rock sound though, then Inside Voices/Outside Voices and MONO are going to be the albums for you!! (again sorry Solutions for paying you dust skjfksk just not the strongest.)

If you do end up revisiting her, def come back into this thread to share your thoughts! I love when people post in here
