single Kim Petras & Nicki Minaj - “Alone”

[TrueBlood]

Just now, MaxMartin said:

Well the Kim Petras I think everyone fell in love with was the Kim that did Icy , There will be blood, Heart to break , Hillside boys, Personal hell & IDWIAA

And those are by no means not trappy records...

Not everyone fell in love with that Kim, unless if by everyone you mean a bunch of gays.

This sounds great. I’m perched for Friday now 

This sounds disjointed and the verse comes in too suddenly after the first chorus

So unprofessional...

[Nico Kwon]

Sounds like a hit to me

[RedCarpet]

That „europop” uptempo everyone wants would be cool but wouldnt work as much as more trappy mid tempo version

 

so I’m glad

cant wait for full version

This. She teased a couple of europop songs from the album when she played the snippets a few weeks ago, so I guess everyone will be satisfied at the end.

False, the backlash started almost as soon as Kim was announced as an opener for Troye Sivan's shows, early 2018.

Is the chorus only the snippet we've been hearing for the past weeks? Is there no actual beatdrop/dance breakdown?

The insider that heard it already said all the choruses stay the same :/

It would be strange for the last chorus to stay like that tho

 

it’s that’s the case I don’t know what they were aiming for with that sound

She can never win to some, that's the truth. Back during the Problematique "era", people were constantly whining about bringing Clarity era back 'cause that felt like the true Kim Petras, now people are complaining 'cause the song isn't an europop banger. 

 

This has been Kim's style since 2019, this trappy/fast delivery vocals is what she's been doing for years and what she's actually even known and popular for (her feature on Unholy isn't exactly a powerhouse showcase of vocals or pop excellence, she's basically featured as a "rapper" with her own little verse).

 

There was no point in this being different than what it seems to be, and there's nothing wrong in the chorus being the stronger part of a single. Isn't that exactly what choruses are meant for in music?

You clocked us

 

[Mke1979]

I’m also expecting a beat drop or build up after the chorus or something!

That's who majority of her supporters are

Yes, so? She's been working for almost two years now to exactly change this and gain a wider audience, she wouldn't have signed with a major label at all if she was happy with what she had up until that point.

 

To the majority of the 30/40 millions listeners she has on Spotify, she's just the girl who has a couple of bars on Unholy. So, if anything, it's way more likely for them to support a song like this one than a EDM europop dated mess.

Alone is for the Clarity girls.

 

If you love TOTL, Claws is for you.

If you love Problématique, Try Again is for you (and there will be 3 songs from that album on the tracklist).

If you love her hyperpop singles, Castle in the Sky is for you.

If you love ERA 1, i'm sure there will be an 80s inspired bop on the album, as usual.

 

There's something for everyone on the album.

 

Alone is nothing new if you stan Kim so i really don't get "i miss the old her" comments when she has tons of trap songs on her discog

[XtinaStripped]

It’s not bad. The verse just doesn’t hit as hard. I think when we have the full it’ll work.

[TOKYO.]

This is gonna flop and bomb. Every1 and their mother had hopes for europop..

Could you imagine her getting a #1 in the USA and a Grammy 6 months ago?
