lmao this slaps weirdo stan twitter lost

in a way i partially feel like this album was her finishing some of what she was trying to do with the "xcx world" era leak stuff. obviously there is some PC music stuff in that era too but also some of her most straightforward "dance-pop" up until Crash was made. and since Pop 2 was the thing that came out instead i think in the back of her mind she wanted to return to some of that style later.

i definitely dont think theres any chance she'll just make a Crash 2 next or anything like that. i dont think she sees this one as stagnation because she hasnt really made an album in this style yet, even her pre-"hyperpop" stuff is pretty different

dam i didn't like this album not because of the commercial sound but because it felt like there was no feeling in this which bums me out because ik this was her passion project. even though i didn't like this album, i'll give her credit for songs like crash, new shapes, beg for u, every rule (my favourite on this), yuck, and twice. those have so much personality in them the rest though feel void of personality

Every album doesn’t but it’s kinda a valid criticism when pushing the boundaries of the genre is part of what was so great about her other work . I don’t hold artists hostage to their past or anything but it’s not like she replaced that innovation with better songwriting or production - I think all around this album is pretty whelming. But it’s cool, it’s just 1 album I think the drawn out roll out & weird social media stuff prob making the reception worse than it would be otherwise I’m sure she’ll bounce back there’s still some joints on this that’ll get rinsed for decades to come

Mmmmmh baby

Man the vocoder/filter parts in Lightning sounds soooo good with her voice I wish they weren’t attached to that song

Nah this s*** slap front to back loving this

Nvm first half is amazing second half got me 😬😬😬😬

They were on some f***ing around s*** in the lightning session lol . I know that was a silly little day

damn she really went from “7 years” to “every rule”

Used To Know Me the one

weirdo KTT2 lost too, f***ing losers talking about “omg she’s so insecure” instead of even listening to the music some mfs have no self awareness i stg

this grew on me tbh

You named a lot of songs lmao

those are the only ones I liked half of the album

This is really short since like half of the tracks are around 2 min but I do respect anyone who puts out a trim project in this day and age (though we'll probably get a deluxe which kinda defeats what I'm saying). I'm more into Pop 2 pc music Charli but there are some solid tracks on here. Lightning is great. Still not sure how I feel overall

Well now that you edited your comment yea lol but maybe more will grow on you

Have you checked out her Zane Lowe interview?

Caroline's part is prob my fav part of the track just because I'm a big fan of her but it def feels tacked on and like it was put together in just a few takes

Yea I edited it because I was listening more and it grew off me a little bit

I’ll peep her Zane Lowe interview

Nah Caroline renegaded
