i honestly love how weird melancholy moaning noises are an actual valid sound component. like it's dynamic. it's modern. it's obvs evocative. so much depth :oprah3:

me too, she's so ahead of her time and painfully underrated it actually annoys me

like i don't she has made a single bad song, i can't name any. amazing

even though beach hut in hawaii was a joke it still gave bob marley a run for his money, all it needed was a rework :oprah3:

Okay so I just listened to the deluxe and literally the only song I'm truly convinced I love is Sorry If I Hurt You (!!!!)

Selfish Girl is okay, but I'm not crazy about it.

What You Think About Me has a great production (love those guitars) but the chorus is sooo annoying to me :( like, I love its message but not its execution. Verses are great though.

How Can I Not Know... that's a no. Feels so over the place, didn't really enjoy it at all.

I feel like Just One Touch (now I found it!) would've been better dddd. If she just slapped Sorry If I Hurt You and Just One Touch as bonus tracks I'd be happy. WYTAM might be a grower though.

Aaaaand I think this is my overall ranking from the 16 songs (rn).

1. Lightning

2. Used to Know Me

i'm actually a newer fan but i'll take ur word for it. and honestly tho, it takes a certain control to express the TYPE of moan, like it might sound funny, and that can be good, but like- it has to feel right and appropriate for the sound.  imma google that song

This probably a really controversial take but I'm disappointed w the deluxe tracks! Selfish Girl is so boring I expected way better. Sorry If I Hurt You is a massive bop though I will say, it should have been on the original tracklist instead of Every Rule. Wish we got Sweat as well so disappointed but can someone please leak it now as we've heard so much of the studio version in the ads?

You're right! Sorry If I Hurt You fits better instead of Every Rule in the tracklist :gclap:

Just heard the 4 bonus tracks and even though I like them a lot, I feel like they have a VERY different vibe from most of the other songs on the album.

 

These songs sound more like classic Charli instead of that "sell-out" main pop girl sound from 70% of the CRASH album.
