"Hit it from the Back" is catchy, edgy and fun - it does absolutely need some beefed up production though, needs to be more build-up toward the final chorus, because it lands a little flat. Mostly all there though, it would because a cute little controversy "too sexy for radio" etc. ----- Last New Music Friday before we get Jesus - phew. idk I always felt like HIFTB was too raunchy to be used as a single. They want her to take off in the mainstream. the chorus is literally "I'll let you hit it from the back" repeated like 10 times. It works for her gay audience but clearly Republic is tryna focus on the GP. i do agree that with beefed up production and updated vocals, it would slap but it shoulda been tacked onto Sl*t Pop if anything or just stay an album track. 13 hours ago, HereForTheChaos said: small update on this snippet. it's probably not gonna be released and is likely a song from candy (maybe fascination?) Good. This song sucks. 13 hours ago, Superbitch said: ???? BHQ's words, not mine lol 11 hours ago, postergirl said: Imagine if she saved Keep It for this new album after Problématique was scrapped. I would like that as a second single. That would be a serve. I hope they include Keep It on the album since it never leaked. Kim did say a few songs from Problematique will make it onto this new project... if it ever comes out.
Lady Claire Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 There's 0 hype but i hope she had enough pre-saves for a Bubbling under / top 80 Hot 100 debut and Republic uses the Unholy success to push her on playlists I'm 90% sure she doesn't have a MV ready to go but hey!
nooniebao Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 She totally fell out with Aaron Joseph so I wonder if that’ll have an effect on the material he worked on with her? They don’t seem to be in contact or on good terms judging by his recent-ish posts and Instagram stories about her.

Aren't those American flag stills and video clips from the MV shoot?

The stuff they did together were the Problématique songs that ended up leaking and won't appear on the album (maybe HIFTB and ASS only and i don't think Aaron has the power to stop her from releasing them). What i found interesting is how the leaks stopped and we got nothing from IJWAR since he's not around anymore... He implied that Kim, Republic and her team accused him for leaking the songs back then but it definitely sounds fishy when we think about it

He’s been totally iced out over the last year which is weird when you take into account how seemingly integral he was to everything pre-Republic signing.

He told a fan he’d leak the title track if the album got scrapped or something / he was being facetious. But then songs started leaking soon after so that’s why he was so adamant he wasn’t the source. OT: I hope we at least get a visualizer from the shoot. I’m thinking it’s more than just the single shoot bc she wore multiple outfits with different backdrops; the yellow pick up truck, the American flag, etc. I wonder if it’s the album shoot & it’s maybe Americana themed

He’s been totally iced out over the last year which is weird when you take into account how seemingly integral he was to everything pre-Republic signing. Yep everything changed after Kim signed, including her team. Aaron slowly got iced out - he didn’t even know the status of Problematique other than saying the label wasn’t impressed and wanted more songs. which was always weird since they approved the album in early 2021 and basically signed her after hearing it. There was friction between Aaron and Kim’s new team, fanclub-turned-handlers/management, BunheadHQ. Once they got involved this time a year ago there was a major shift. Kim also left Mazurbate and got Eli Sheppard to style her (and make her look ugly 80% of the time). It’s weird bc they’re all friends with each other and go on trips which is nice in theory but they coddle Kim & steer her in lame directions. She had a different boss energy when it was just her and Aaron. Now Aaron has been hanging out with Slayyyter. Seems like he found Kim’s replacement
HereForTheChaos Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 4 more days! still little to no buzz unfortunately

It's the same pre-save shtick with the fan line, merch, and relying solely on TikTok. Be creative

Alt Facts Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Chorus sounds like candy. Production is dated sounding. Reminds me of early 10s Dr Luke stuff with Kesha, Britney, Marina etc etc
OmegaRidley Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 There’s no hype whatsoever… Prblematique was WAY more exciting as an era
FinleyGates Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 I cannot imagine pre-saving a song. Like I’m going to forget it comes out this Friday. And we’re all just going to stream it anyways?

And we’re all just going to stream it anyways? Pre-saves serves more of a way to boost a song popularity, it seems. If it has good pre-saves then it'll appear on nice positions at playlists, which is why a lot of these B/C-list girls almost beg for fans to pre-save a new single

And we’re all just going to stream it anyways? same I don't understand the pre-save obsession? fans are going to check it out regardless, no member of the GP is going to save a song there's no release date to in hopes they might one day get to listen to it, it just doesn't work like that I'm hyped for Friday, I hope there's a music video ready to roll out in the next two weeks LATEST!
