Enigmanotta Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 The Problématique songs didn't get re-recorded or reproduced, please stop living on copium. If anything, the only differences are that HIFTB got shortened and the songs got mastered. *Maybe* they had Serban Ghenea re-mix them, but from the files I got, I sincerely doubt it. 3 minutes ago, #Beautiful said: from what I remember the new vocals were more scream-y and in a higher key and it kind of sounded annoying, the original is smooth and more sensual idk, one of the best songs shes ever made regardless and im glad it made it on the tracklist! The "original" as you say is a demo that wasn't fully produced and mixed. The "2.0" versions she teased was bullshit. It sounded the exact same as the final Problématique master (which remains unleaked), the only difference being that it was 12 seconds longer. The final Problématique master is the version featured on the album, it has the same length of 2:50. 1
Lady Claire Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 BARBIE: The Album is coming and as we know her team was trying to include All She Wants on a movie soundtrack… maybe the song will sneak there? 👀

If I’m not bothering much, can you describe how King of Hearts and Minute sounds like? If you have them, of course. These are the only tracks we had no snippets or leaks

It's a shame, I still think it's one of the best songs she created after her signing to Republic.

These are the only tracks we had no snippets or leaks King of Hearts is a bass-heavy, electro pop club banger. It has multiple "woo-ah!"s throughout the song, something quite rare on this album. Since the final version is shorter than the demo, I pray they removed the absolute cringe intro that samples some lines of this Euphoria scene. Minute is now my favourite song on the album since Try Again got the boot. It's a love song without any sexual innuendos for a change. She sounds really great vocally and the production is dance pop. In my opinion, it's the closest to Era 1 she's sounded in years. 1

She didn’t re-record anything. The songs just got mastered (and shortened). I was hoping they’d finish Revelations since it ends way too abruptly. Didn’t Kim keep saying this album is “so long” ? The tracklist is only 15. I expected an 18 track album. Maybe a deluxe will come?

americanlife Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 Only three songs exceed three minutes which is horrific. Beautiful cover though.

brooklyndaddy Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 How is it possible for a team to be so useless and garbage that you can’t even fix the song on your second chance. Still not drop, no energy and zero comprehension of the what the public wants. Like this song had potential to be a hit and it’s all gone to waste. Really sad honestly, I know it’s not her fault. Some of the remixes sort of make it better but still none do the very simple thing we asked: keep the sample the same and just add in a dance break for the verses that builds up and then DROPS. 2

Literally this, and the "Yeah, don't you wait just come on over" part of the chorus kills the whole vibe. The chorus should be "I've been tryna give it to ya all night, what's it gonna take to get you all alone, I just need you here by my side, baby, I don't wanna do this on my own" and at the end it builds up and then drops to a heavy beat and repeats the chorus with the dance beat, then after it could be an instrumental dance beat with the sample as the main focus like the actual song that slow fades into a verse. 1

nathanspears Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 Alone 2.0…literally what is the point. Whoever is releasing this doesn’t understand what the people wanted at all. It goes nowhere. Where’s the drop?! 1

Exactly. And the kicker is it would literally still be one of the most simple, easy to make tracks possible because all it requires is the same bass, same pads, same sample and just a dance beat the builds and releases. How ****** hard is that 1
TrueBlood Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 The Alex Chapman remix is the superior version of the song, IMO the closest to what the song could have been.
Gyal Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 genuinely feel like if alone was done right, it would’ve been met with the same praise as padam padam 2
