that was all that BOZ posted

 

there are multiple drafts of the manifesto out there and people do have them. they cover the album concept, why it’s called xcx, marketing ideas and even music video concepts.

 

i imagine they’ll eventually leak like this photoshoot eventually!

this is so cool thanks for sharing!

Can't help but feel a tad bit hypocritical tough when your little "manifesto" is literally just shameless boasting, teasing, and self-promo of your discord server lol (And it's not even the whole photoshoot)

but still, thanks!

Different/final mixes leaked??

unedited spike reference mixes leaked. the ones we had before were put together by someone who had the stems

 

that being said, from what ive seen, just because they were sent to be mixed doesn't necessarily confirm they were going on the album though. 

 

So we basically ended this christmas with more questions than we had before

Ooo, I’m curious to hear the professional mixes

Sorry for the confusion, I'm calling the spike reference mixes the final mixes because those are the best we will get (other than possible 320 or lossless files out there but I'm not sure they exist since the mixer usually used 192kbps to send the mixes)

[alan 2,015]

the grace of XCX World is being this album that exists and don't exist at the same time
but it would be nice if someone could come with the Spike files in lossless (if they ever exist) and also Taxi + Come to My Party in a real decent quality

I think it's entirely fair to say that if they were sent to be professionally mixed, they should at least be chucked in the "these were strong contenders for release" category.

The whole XCX world debacle at this point really shouldn't have any questions left though imo, and what "questions" there is, I feel like are from fans inventing their own hurdles to jump over.

If I was to strip down and try to abstract all the details, I feel like objectively, we know:

• the third album was being worked on for awhile, and then was shelved by the label
• a lot of material was recorded for it, and some tracks were selected and sent to be mastered
• tracks and album material leaked, and it played into the decision to shelve the album
• several songs that were in the running for the album during the "era" were mentioned and teased on twitter in various posts
• the producers and collabs for several songs created during the "era" were mentioned and teased on twitter in various posts
• several songs were performed at LA Exchange, Kimmel during the "era", lending weight to the idea that they were intended for full commercial release, but NOT confirming it j/k songs performed during the era were either already confirmed as scrapped or were still up in the air as to whether or not commercial release was a possibility
• shelved photoshoots that have leaked that were done during the "era" do show a coherent idea/theme was developed
• Charli has said in an interview that the album wasn't 100% done, and has said over the years that fans have taken what info is out there and ran with it on their own
• Charli has said in an interview that the covers were done, and she was about to shoot music videos, before the label decided to pull the plug on the album/project

Taken altogether, the art direction was decided, a rudimentary tracklist was developed (but not fully finalized), and the "project" was rolling onwards into a "release" phase and out of a "development" phase, but before ink hit the paper on a final tracklist - shit leaked and the project was killed. We know that artists usually record a dickload of material and then spend time pairing it down to a certain number of tracks and total runtime in order to meet the label's (and contract) standard for what constitutes an album. Based on the evidence we have, I feel like we can safely infer that the album was killed and shot dead in the middle of that process, which leaves us with our infamous "Tracklist-that-isn't-a-tracklist-but-it-kinda-is-but-it-isn't."

I think any further/continued "omg what if...." "but what about?" "okay but in this one tweet it seems that...." is just fan masturbation over a time and topic that will never have a solid four walls and a roof over it's head.

Same tho.

And even IF there was some weird outta left field surprise WTF release of it, something to consider is that it would be something mastered and released today, based on whatever finished mixes or stems are still on hand. Due to the passing of time and general human error, songs and tracks and masters can sometimes get lost, so it's possible that some of the stuff, from the label perspective, would be "lost media" from the jump. (Like yeah, go on a few websites and redownload the stems sure, but from an "official" route I feel like some middle manager would get testy about that). 

Not to mention possible legal issues around copyright and shit. I do recall finding some trash twink on Spotify who had taken a lot of the 'XCX World' instrumentals and recorded their own songs over them and released them as if it all was their own. I figure a fat label with a solid legal team would have no problem proving actual ownership and origination on all that material, but that's also a $$ cost $$ to go through, and for "dead" material from years ago.....I can't see bean counters or PR people approving it.
