I was hoping to get a shipping notification today. I really wanted the CD and vinyl to arrive tomorrow lol

Playlisting of rock Hudson is underwhelming so far   But we wait 

Does Kelly have a bodyguard with her in NY?

they way kelly is just walking around my city and I had no clue

In fairness, I think most of her fanbase is waiting for Friday.

I know I am. Looking forward to listening to it in full on my ride in to work tomorrow.  

I'm so hyped, getting drunk to bop to the best album of the century

This album

 

Eventhough MOL was a really great album sonically and vocally; my main complain was that it had no lyrical depth. There wasn’t a song I could really connect to emotionally like I did with the past (maybe,sober,pxp etc).

 

for me chemistry is a modern upgraded compilation of MOL and pxp sonically and a matured lyrical depth of my december.

 

Queen did that

Alright, KTRL, now let's get in formation. 

Rock Hudson is INCREDIBLE

Happy Chemistry Day y'all!  Let's get those streams going 

stream, stream, stream and tell everyone to stream as well!

Any tips for the best way to stream for theist value. Like stream from playlists m? Or just the album on repeat? 

I'm only able to play Rock Hudson, the rest of them say unavailable 

iTunes banner up on the main page! 

skip this part is great.  Like best album opener I think for her.  
 

mine still hits.  
 

I like high road but it’s not that memorable for me I think.  
 

Me really is so weak and should be later in the album or maybe not at all.  
 

I love down to you so much.  So catchy and great production.  
 

chemistry is the surprise for me???  I love it even tho it didn’t catch much attention during the live show.  

 

FKOH right after chemistry is giving me whiplash.  Still like this catchy song.  it’s fun to listen to and really catchy.  
 

Magic is another surprise.  It’s so…effervescent?  And it’s so sad that she felt this and then it went all ****.  
 

lifehouse is just as good on the album as live.  I think lyrically still my favorite on the album and the melody is really good and hauntingly beautiful too.  
 

I LOVE rock Hudson omg.  The lyrics and melody I love it.  This should’ve been earlier in the album.  
 

My mistake is just ok.  Catchy but kind of forgettable for me.  
 

RFC was one of my faves from the show but on the album it’a kinda overshadowed by other songs.  Think the chorus is really tho.  
 

I kinda love I hate love.  It’s fun and sarcastic which is SO Kelly.  And the pre chorus is so damn good.  
 

That’s right does seem a little out of nowhere but it’s fine.   And I see why she ended it with it I guess.  
 

 

Overall I’m really happy with the album.  I like it more than MOL by quite a bit.  Sonically and lyrically.  
 

One thing throughout is she sounds SO GOOD.  her voice has gotten so much more dynamic which shouldn’t be possible at this point in her career.  It might not be as flashy anymore but it has so much more depth to me.  
 

gonna put this on repeat and give a chance for all the songs to seep in.  
 

 

 

Just finished listening to the album start to finish. I think it's slightly disappointing overall as a project. Despite the That's Right hate from everyone, it's actually one of my favorite tracks. That and Magic.

skip this part and down to you 

Skip this part, down to you, lighthouse, Rock Hudson, and magic have me shook.

I can’t believe @kylegfil_got to sing with the Kelly Clarkson tonight. So ***** incredible. 

Is the "ocean eyes" line in that's right a Billie Eilish reference?

I think there is a much better album hidden in this (mostly without the songs we got as singles). That and maybe some of the songs she scrapped for personal reasons would have been a real opus. You can definitely hear the cold feel/hesitation with how this turned into a more simplistic/plain-pop record.

The down to you to rock Hudson stretch of the album might be my favorite.  

Some interesting early doors numbers:

 

iTunes number 1 in 10 countries (not that that matters much)

 

down to you and lighthouse only tracks outside of previously released to chart on iTunes in countries (again doesn’t mean much)

 

lighthouse was chosen for nmf uk and is #5 on sad hour 1,532,093 followers 

 

rock Hudson now has got some okay playlisting, 15.5m reach:

 

Nmf usa #9 - 4m

women of pop #10 - 2.4m

 

looks like it’s probably not the best single to go for based on our releases prior to album’s release playlisting. It’ll have the best numbers when we do update, but what is after lighthouse and rock Hudson will be interesting, especially if it’s not stp (indicative of album listeners too)

 

 

Ok High Road, Down To You & Chemistry are my current trinity.

 

also great: lighthouse, rock hodson, skip this part, mine & magic (and FKOH, just sounds kinda out of place sonically)

 

could have done without me, my mistake, that's right

 

and wish red flag collector & i hate love had different production.

 

Overall I think the album really works as a whole though even though i'm trashing 1/3 of the album haha - it all works pretty well together 

I keep going back to chemistry and rock Hudson
