Mel wrote see saw for crybaby in June 2015 despite it releasing two months later? Weren't pressings already done in June?

idk but id think i would count it in the era sessions in case there ever was a reissue planned around the time? 

also, Seesaw is the only outtake we have that was recorded in 2015

I don't have an exact date for Seesaw, but I don't think the June 2015 thing on the Wiki is accurate to when it was recorded/written. I have a file from someone else of Play Date 1 (leaked demo) with a December 2014 date, which seems more accurate for the Jennifer Decilveo tracks.

OKAY ERASE HER IS SO GOOD  she literally had enough material for an album, the way it could've been even marketed as a mixtape or something... Erase Her, Trophy, Absorb, Lost & Found, History sweeties I'm so sorry

I'll never forgive Mel for scrapping trophy but could yall imagine if she scrapped numbers or test me? We would've hated the ep -

just think; without the K-12 film, Portals would have been her fourth album!

would have? most of us currently do hate the EP

[Yellow 824]

It's my favorite project of hers solely because of numbers. That song is other worldly. Y'all talking about the writing in haunted and cake, comparing them to spider web and shit, look at numbers. It is her best piece. It saved the stupid ep. i don't understand test mes hype but I do understand it's the general favorite so I included it aswell 

[The Siren 29,150]

tbh Erase Her could have replaced Teacher's Pet

Erase Her on loop

Im bopping to Erase Her and think it’s nice but…

 

those lyrics in the bridge are giving me Orange Juice JSW “if I was a cop, but I’m not”… yikes 

also the metaphor is a little lazy! 
 

For the rest it’s fine, specially compared to the rest of After School outtakes! Surprised it’s not K-12 but with similarities in the instrumental now I can see it

I liked glued, bakery, notebook and numbers a lot, I still vibe to bakery occasionally it's in my drinking playlist, but glued and notebook got old. Numbers is my holy grail song, I love that song more than the entire album of crybaby combined, k-12 isn't even in the race it only has 4 good tracks.

I also thought erase her was k-12 BC of the instrumental, immediately. Like are we sure it was after school 

[Anonymcomenter 4,406]

Im still not used to the fact that the album is titled Portals… it’s so on the nose and… basic? 
 

sorry

You know what takes me tf out? Melanie fans on Twitter and insta trying to say Melanie damaged her voice from smoking too much weed and refuse to accept it's from overdoing it

i think this may have been one of my biggest issues with Miley's latest album. the vocals were a little too weak compared to what we've heard from her previously.

id say fans worried about Mel smoking weed may be warranted here

while on the subject of recording dates, the Wiki was updated for Erase Her to say June 2nd, 2017

is this date true?

I'm a Brain & Heart truther but Numbers is a banger too.
