commerical success and no leaks

 

this is uncharted territory for us angels

Mmm.....I wonder if the "no leaks" may be more of the fact that all of the avenues people would usually get them from are being slowly choked out or if there's a "chilling" of the leak culture/leak market. I've noticed over the last year that a lot of the artists I follow have had a....drought, so to speak.....on leaking of older/unreleased material, and on snips of upcoming stuff.

 

It's possible I've moved too far from the pulse of it, but from my perspective, a lot of online forms (LB here as an example) have cracked down hard on not posting confirmed upcoming material. Reddit boards also have adopted the same hardline policies. Looking at the official XCX discord, it's the same there - any leaked material (and if I interpret the rules a certain way, even old unreleased material) is not to be discussed. From what I understand quite a few discord servers where leaked stuff would get posted and traded have been nuked or gone under (and there was a TOS change in Discord that called out they won't tolerate hosting or sharing material that was pirated, stolen, illicit, etc.)

This is a dark thought, but technology exists (I know it's used on JustForFans, an OnlyFans competitor just for XXX stuff) where a video will have an invisible watermark embedded in it, linked to the account of the person who is streaming/viewing it. If someone was to download or screen record that video, and share it out on the internet, it would be able to be traced back to the account of the person who did it, and would make prosecution easy (allegedly). It's not something you can remove from transcoding the video either and it is extremely hard to detect and remove (again, allegedly). iTunes does something similar with their DRM but to a lesser degree, where the account of the person who purchased the music from the iTunes store is embedded in the file tags, but IIRC you can encode the file to something else and that data goes away.

I wonder if something like that will eventually get worked into mainline audio content distribution, or even in exports of sessions that get traded between artists and producers and such, so that if someone was to leak something, there would be a clearer and easier to establish line of "who did it?". That alone would definitely choke leaks down further.

360 remix being the opening track of the album and guess remix being the closing track is such a flop move tbh

 

i wish we had an intro track before 360 like the “I wanna dance with Charli’s angels” edit and then the 365 remix would be a better closer in terms of track listing.

omg it L- worded

The Sympathy remix could have gone 3x harder

[Honeymoonwitch 1,626]

Ariana is in her hyper pop era. She sounds so weird but I kinda love it.

[soaringHigh 378]

yooooooooooooooo  club classicsssssss

[HellaGood 63]

Omg no boiler room easy fun remix of SIAK. Gonna go cry now. 

[rollwithme 5,606]

So only 1 track leaked it seems

[slayyyngel 1,293]

Absolutely hate the intro with every fiber of my being but the rest is good, the outro is great.

Overall it reminds me of how im feeling now.

 

Its so funny though that all the memes were saying "arianas just going to be like "issa knife"" and thats actually what the entire song says lmfaooo

 

I'm a bit disappointed to be honest as both artists would be in my top 3 of all time... It could have been huge. You could literally cut off the first 50 seconds and add back in the original choruses with both of them doing their renditions of it and the song is astronomically better.

365 remix is worse than the Boiler Room version!!?? CC remix just turned my bones to dust, so I'll call it wash.

disappointed i fear…..

Spoiler

was so excited to hear ariana sing the chorus 😭 … i thought they’d flip it so the chorus would make sense in the way that like the “her” in question is the idealized version of themselves that everyone wants them to be 

 

it has me bored asf i cannot lie omfg i thought they’d go hard asf and it would be her next big radio single i’m absolutely floored this is what the outcome is omfg

 

[Wanna Get Fucked Up 1,270]
