charli sessions, they are encoded with a logic build from 2018

Just curious - is that *always* a guarantee though? Couldn't some people and producers be using old versions (I know I myself am using a 5 year old copy of Ableton)? Is there an export date hidden in the metadata that might be more reliable?

I hope she doesn't give us 2 minute tiktok songs, give us 3/4 minute pop masterpieces. Some of us older broads still have an attention span

 

the album has been confirmed to be 41 minutes so it will be short songs

Based on the sound of those tracks they seem more like they were made in between Charli & HIFN. Or in between Charli & maybe early Crash, since that was the plan before the pandemic.

You're right, because that alone is far from a guarantee and should not be used to "prove" the songs were created in 2018. It only confirms that the files were exported during or after that year. 

I know many music producers that still use older versions of Logic Pro, iTunes, etc. I'm not a music producer so IDK if this is a good example but I always slack on updating my own apps and devices lel

basically all what Coloringbooks said but to answer the last question if the song is an mp3 then unfortunately encoding data is the best way to figure out a timeframe for a song, m4a and wav (others too) keep their export date but rarely mp3s once they’ve been sent from place to place. 

and then, if we’re being pedantic, export date still isn’t 100%. songs can be created but not actually exported until a later date if Charli reconsiders the song. all we can ever really have is a rough estimate. 
 

metadata2go is a really good site if you want to try running some mp3s through, but try and find the original files and not ones you’ve edited.

I was gonna say - I've heard of producers and folks in certain areas of A/V using older versions of software because of plugin compatibility, or they are "stuck" on a particular version of software due to it being a really reliable and "stable" version, and if they'd upgrade there's risk of bugs or known compatibility issues with their hardware or other tools/plugins. Sometimes the stuff they are using is air-gapped and not connected to anything online for security reasons, so things are outdated, or some folks just don't want to shell out the money for new software or new licenses, or they used a friend's home studio that wasn't entirely up to date, etc. etc. Plenty of reasons.

The version definitely sets a line in the sand that says "this totally wasn't exported/created BEFORE this minimum date". I think the version of the software taken with an export date is really the key.

That being said, I also wouldn't put it past people to fuck around. People upload shit all over the internet and re-encode it to lower quality, tag the fucking hell out of it, etc. etc. I wouldn't put it past people to edit metadata to fuck around with people either.

Idk. Someone with more knowledge and insight feel free to correct me.

So was that s***** b******* upload on [redacted] legit the full concept demo? The quality drops after the first part that was previewed on 360 brat but the rest sounds copy pasted. Is it just an edit?

I hope so! Sounds incredible!

[Chorli Xbox 8,875]

i hope she’ll make a track 10 like song with caroline polachek in the next era 

[Lipgloss Twink 513]

Speaking about LA and Only 1 I Love, likely Charli, maybe HIFN. Dylan Brady has not produced a single song on Crash, or any of the leaks we've had regarding the era. While it is pretty tame by Dylan standards, I think it's too out there for Crash, they feel like Unlock It or Warm, poppy songs that would stand out too much on a pop album.

Also if we really want to know we can look at the metadata of other songs and leaks produced by him since 2018. I'm not going to, it sounds very Charli to me.

No track 11 on her own and then Caroline features on an amazing remix of the track. This shit is never gonna happen

I hope we get more midtempo songs like Move Me on this album, i prefer her sadder songs

That’s not midtemp it’s pretty fast, just more chill and atmosphereical 

 

bpm is 140, a lovely song 

[rollwithme 5,613]

have we ever discussed that Charli has never missed when it comes to naming an album?

True Romance

Sucker

Number 1 Angel

Pop 2

Charli

how i’m feeling now

Crash

Brat

 

they're all so effortlessly cool for the most part. I was honestly not feeling HIFN when it was first announced but once the artwork and songs all came together it clicked for me.

 

Brat is a welcome addition to the family 🤝
