Charli XCX

[Make me your Dream Life 87,824]

Its been a while hasnt it 

[TrashMagiq 58,573]

George Daniel replacing AG as Charli’s go to producer oh wow

[Nightmare 9,850]

why is constant repeat one of her best songs ever 

[evalionisameme 13,889]

Now that the crash era is very much dead being that she has an entirely new look, how well do you think it performed it’s goal? 
 

Did Atlantic sabotage its release by not investing in further videos like was conceptualised? 
 

Do you think she’ll sign further releases with them?

Was the music living up its promise of being demonic and sexy?

I think the single/video choices were...a choice. Good Ones was honestly good for me, 8/10, and set the theme IMHO (see below re: Demonic/Sexy)  but then the rest didn't feel like it matched up to the energy. New Shapes was ok. Baby should have cooked a few more months in the womb if they were sure *that* needed to be a video. 

 

I won't dignify "Every Rule" or Flop4U other than this line.

 

Lightning and Yuck had SUCH potential. Sorry if I Hurt You as well.

 

Conclusion: Sabotage. Riggory. Other shit should have been pushed as singles/videos.

Eh, she did tweet that "deal with the devil". The thing for me is that it's not just that she's a singer. She's also a powerful songwriter, as we've seen by all of the leaks and demos that have gone to other artists, as well as writing credits. That's a STRONG asset for any label, and if her contract is up and she's looking at renegotiating, any kind of a deal that includes better coin and spotlight on that front is a strong bargaining chip.

Conclusion: depends - do we want coin and kickbacks and a budget, at potential cost of artistry, or do we want music and creativity before dollars?

Good Ones? Yes. I wanted that whole black widow/vamp/dark vibe.

 

Everything else just kind of melted from there, for me. (Used to Know Me was cute though.) We got sexy in all of the videos, I'll say that, but it wasn't demonic and sexy.

Conclusion: It was....sexy-ish.

here's how it should've gone imo

good ones (lead single - september 2021)
new shapes (promo single - november 2021)
baby (second single - january 2022 ; with a much better video)
every rule (promo single - march 2022)
used to know me (third single - april 2022)
hot in it
yuck (fourth single - august 2022)
constant repeat (fifth single - october 2022; promo-style release)

The way baby was given such a major lack of attention still angers me

Its an earworm, it’s so catchy and as seen on SNL - a clean version works just fine. it’s short and upbeat and would’ve done great on radio (even if they popped another artist on a remix or something) 

the video….. COME ON.. WHERE did the budget go. deserved so much better. bop of the century idgaf

 

Good Ones, Baby, & Yuck had huge potential to be big singles and it’s such a shame it was wasted

wtmi remix sounds like her best song in ages

Delicious (feat.Tommy Cash)

Yup. Good Ones was the best lead single this album could've had. + that video... it was really giving that energy she was talking about.

I don't really know what order though, but imo Constant Repeat, Used to Know Me, Baby and Yuck should've been the only other singles from the era. Maybe Sorry If I Hurt You as a promo single (and included in the standard pls), New Shapes as promo too.

I like Every Rule but I still don't get how it was released as a promo single and, say, Constant Repeat didn't.

We need George Daniel to produce the next album!

Reminder that RuPaul made a carbon copy of Unlock It on his 2022 album MAMARU.. the song Fascination.. and then it kind of does the Visions rave breakdown
