The birds from No Hotel's intro are an extension of Ü&I's outro. She sings "baby rewind, take me back" because the story starts again. The album trailer is one scene put on loop. The tracklist on the back cover is a circle. The album title is the same word repeated twice seamlessly. Insiders can feel free to drag me if I'm wrong though nnn oh wow her mind
masochizm Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 Potentially going to her album listening party tomorrow
masochizm Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) The listening party was SO good. This album was truly an experience… from start to finish. Lykke was also super friendly and like no other artist i have ever come across. She explained how the album is a loop, how she was obsessed with the number 33 (making the albums frequency 33.33hz as well as the length 33:33). Also explained why the album is called eyeye (reinforcing the loop theme) as well as truly being her most genuine work (eyeye = I). Said that the album name was “If Our Love Was A Movie” before “Eyeye” She said the reason why this album took so long was because of the pandemic. She was adamant to not work on zoom. Most of the vocals on the album were made in just one take. She made the rule of every sound and second on the album would serve a purpose. No copy and pasting instruments or vocals (and you can truly tell she stuck to her word!). She said the visuals were the thing that took the longest as she kept adding small details. She then kinda shat on So Sad So Sexy saying its not timeless in the slightest. She had to beg Bjorn to take her back and create this album with her after betraying him on so sad so sexy and doing everything he told her not to do. Super sad to say she said she’s definitely retiring after this album… (but then made the joke of returning one day because this album is bound to be a flop). Though she sounded adamant about this being her final full length project. Though, she said she wants to try and write for other artists, said Rihanna would be a dream. If I had to rank the new tracks based on first listen: 5D (this track was truly stunning, i was in AWE!) Happy Hurts You Don’t Go Away U&I Carousel Over Edited May 11, 2022 by masochizm
yonka Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 Idk why I don't care about this album. I've always been so excited for her releases. Sad to read about her retiring after this project..before she releases another stunning indie pop record (ala Youth Novels)

Dula Peep Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 Omg not her both retiring and sh*tting on So Sad So Sexy
yonka Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 SSSS is literally a 6/10, it's fine but the worst in her disco by a longshot. I'm guessing the new album is similar to I Never Learn
Ice Cream Skies Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 I don't believe her when she says she's retiring and I will definitely bop to the new album.
likefoxesdo Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 Not her talking smack about SSSS and saying she plans to retire when she initially said, during its promo run, that SSSS gave her the energy/inspiration to never wanna quit

BlackoutZone Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Queen mega spilled on SSSS, but I also don't think she will retire #ThankYouBjorn btw
goldstargay Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 SSSS was a fun departure, i hate when artists crap over prior albums. also i don't believe her either that she is retiring, i feel like for a lot of actual artists releasing an album is like giving birth and the last thing most women want right after giving birth is to get pregnant again... but give her a year and i'm sure she'll be back in the studio.
Living Legend Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 got myself a ticket for her live show in October, can't wait Crazy to hear that she's considering to retire... but she won't, just her same depressed self as always talking
Polgg48 Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 SSSS music wise is also top notch despite her clear lack of energy in there which i understand why. ah she always deliver and this will too.

And it's basically crickets
Halcyon Days Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 i tried to listen to so sad so sexy again and omg the album is so bad. "no hotel" alone is better than the whole record.
Daddy Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 The SSSS slander is such a bandwagon thing. It's not bad at all. It's a great sonic adventure for her that still stays true to her core as an artist. The title is perfect because it sounds exactly how it's called. A wonderful collection of songs with great production and lyrics. People doing too much and that's why she's saying that.
Bartender Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 ssss is so bad there's only a few good songs she spilled i fear
Admiringamor Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Yeah you guys and lykke are dragging ssss. It made me stan because it was such a musical shift from previous projects. I always feel like artists like lykke excel when they experiment with more mainstream/trap sounds. It's not that she can't have negative feels on it but atleast stand by your work for being what it was at that moment. Ironically at the current moment her music is making even less noise.
