renaissance 8,126 Posted July 24, 2017 don't understand why charli would release a song she didn't even write as a single? she has SO MANY better songs that she wrote entirely by herself... Because her label fucking sucks 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adrift 4,776 Posted July 24, 2017 she's in contract hell she's spent the past 3 years cementing herself as one of pop's biggest songwriters, making an entire documentary about how exhausting it is to be a female in the music industry and constantly questioned about whether or not she writes her songs, won the SESAC Songwriter of the Year award last year and somehow her contract/label believes that the best marketing strategy for her is to release a tepid tropical-sounding song that she didn't even write? would really love to know the logic there. 6 Quote X----into me, into you----X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hundred Dollar Bill 21,460 Posted July 24, 2017 Charli may not have written Boys, but it's still a great song. Keep in mind that she didn't write Secret (Shh) either & it's one of her best. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evalionisameme 13,506 Posted July 24, 2017 I don't like the baby voice she's doing lately especially since her voice is quite husky and low live yet she's always tried to make herself a mezzo soprano or even a soubrette but tbh she's more like a light contralto naturally she should try to develop it. Or maybe its just her singing very nasal live 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adrift 4,776 Posted July 24, 2017 Unpopular opinion: After the Afterparty is not nearly as bad as all of you make it out to be After the Afterparty works on the level of a Yachty track, with its nursery-rhyme melodies and hedonistic themes...as a Charli XCX track, she made better songs in 2009. 1 Quote X----into me, into you----X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gogo yubari 1,101 Posted July 24, 2017 so did boys leak because of the e-mail hacks, or was it already being traded around? 0 Quote redline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
National Anthem 9,896 Posted July 24, 2017 So i'm guessing nothing more will come from the email hack grateful for those snippets we got though (if those were in fact from the hack) in other news I think Boys is really cute, I like it much more than ATAP and i think it'll be a nice album track on XCX3. I just hope we can finally get the ball rolling with this song and start some sort of a normal album cycle. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
