Alright, everyone, this is very important. Allie is entrusting her fans with her tracklist, which, though exciting for us, is an A&R NIGHTMARE. I've observed that a fair number of Allie's fans mostly are bop-hungry gays who think Too Much to Dream would be better "if it didn't sound exactly like Melanie Martinez" (which it totally doesn't) and think Prime is better than Catch, which is just hilarious.When we are given the tracks for consideration, we should discuss each possibility at LENGTH, and we have to keep these things in mind when deliberating:

 

1. This is Allie's sophomore album, technically. Second albums are always make-or-break for an artist's career. It will be partly on us to make sure that Allie doesn't fall into what is called the "sophomore slump".

2. As such, we can't be selfish in our choice of songs. Though CollXtion II doesn't have a clear direction, we have a small sample of what she's going for sonically in OHDH and especially TMTD. She's said CX2 is about being lost and reflecting on yourself, so songs like, say, Love Me Forever probably wouldn't be the best choice. Think "Good" more than "Hello", in terms of sound.

3. This album needs to balance commercial and Xperimental, and cannot be too much or too little of either. Allie is currently most well- known for working with Troye Sivan, and this is her chance to really establish herself as an artist, and a damn good one at that. If there's a song that sounds like one of your favorite artists, but it doesn't sound like an Allie X song, be glad you got the demo and don't suggest it for the tracklist. This album needs to communicate her personality and various talents, vocally, lyrically, instrumentally. Don't be satisfied with the polished and mastered pop songs. If there's a concept demo of something that really may have potential, speak up about it. If there's a sonic outlier that strays from the CX2 mold so far, like a heart-wrenching piano ballad or a song she did with PC Music for example, don't dismiss it on face value. If it's good, suggest it for the tracklist. "Bitch" was a risk to put on CollXtion I, especially following Catch and Prime, but it separated her from the crowd and made people pay attention, I know that's how it was for me at least.

 

Basically, this is a huge opportunity to help our fav get the success she deserves. Let's do it right. I also wrote this while half asleep on a bus at 6 in the morning, so there's a chance I wrote a bunch of nonsense. Apologies if that's the case. The CollXtion II era is here, everyone!

 

No offense, but like she made this to be a fan interactive experience, so I think it's up to the majority of her fans (not just the small portion in this thread) to decide what they like. I think you're taking the whole thing way too seriously. Clearly she won't be releasing songs/demos that don't have a clear chance at making the album so I doubt you have to worry about thematics and I doubt we'll end up getting more than 20 songs total. Lighten up and choose the songs you like

I don't want Sculpture on CXII tbh not unless it's overwhelmingly different which I doubt

 

I want O Chad :'(

I personally don't like the new version of O Chad. If she's gonna give us that song I would hope for it to be a bit like the original live performance version.
