But Kim/Republic refused to flesh it out. She should've spent at least a year creating FTB. Instead, it was put together in a couple of months, with random tracks thrown onto it (brr, Coconuts, HIFTB, Revelations, Sex Talk). Don't get me wrong. I'm happy for anything at this point & I'll be streaming. But I feel like hitting my head against the wall when it comes to Kim & her team at times. The original plan was to get her in the studio to record more songs for the original project bc Republic wasn’t happy with Problematique as it was. Aaron Joseph confirmed to fans that they didn’t “like the songs.” (We can assume that reaction was in response to FSN and Coconuts not taking off- not so much the songs themselves being bad) Then when Problematique leaked, they clearly took that as a sign to go ahead and just start fresh and tack on a few Problem songs as opposed to tacking on a few new songs to the OG Problem tracklist, if that makes sense. This entire process has been stop and go and imo the label has been flying by the seat of their pants. Thank god for the success of Unholy bc that’s what really got the ball rolling for Kim.
Gyal Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 release everything and drop ha i’m tired and i want her to start serving again 1
CottageHore Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 So… the album is coming June 23rd? Or the first “official” single off the album? That’s what the caption insinuates. Excited but also that pic is ugly af

Lady Claire Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 I think the pic where she's all wet and has rocks (?) behind her is from FTB, not Problématique. I noticed Republic took down that picture, but the other ones were kept...

If this isn't the album cover, I still hate the title, but maybe the cover will be better. they should've just dropped that record because i completely agree with you on this. much more interesting sonically and overall pleasing visuals

They trash Kim on this forum regularly along with a few other clout-chasing “insiders” who think they look cool disparaging the most prominent trans artist in pop music we’ve ever seen. Losers with poor taste in music who post their ass pics on Twitter people are allowed to have different opinions. lets not pretend and act like kim has been killing it since she got signed. shes been inconsistent once she became a label artist and thats a facts. fans are allowed to voice concerns over the decline in quality. her being trans isnt enough to make her bulletproof of proper constructive criticism just because you want make the space for her to have a platform it comes with the territory 8 hours ago, ChapelHooker said: the truly funny thing is that they are actually pushing this as her debut album lmfao which is so weird because her projects before are a solid body of work that truly represented her so whats the issue of referring to them as albums? 8 hours ago, Lady Claire said: The story begins phrase kinda makes me anxious too… I hope it’s the album release already.

It’s not in the form of which we know it as I’m guessing Kim’s gonna tour both projects this would honestly be the best move and probably redeem her overall as an artist and with her fanbase 7 hours ago, zasderfght said: +1. I'd say take the best songs from Problematique and Feed the Beast and make it one album. nah keep the good album and music separate from ... whatever the other one is shaping up to be 7 hours ago, Alfred said: Now this would be the real miracle I’m sure it wasn’t cheap to get Steven Klein to shoot the album art. That’s money down the drain if they don’t capitalize off that project at some point that'd make sense why they would and should still drop it. they need to recoup the money somehow. she hasnt toured in a minute. and everyone is happy. republic do this and also the sooner she can get out of this contract

It is not bad, I am even more excited for it than the FTB. They are clowns for completely scrapping the era, making Kim write another album, then scrapping it again before this. And now that everything leaked, they are scrambling to make profit from it. I'll happily stream and purchase the vinyl, but clowns clowns clowns. if only charli and atlantic had this same energy for xcx world 7 hours ago, zach said: Not Your Time to Cry (one of her best songs imo) being scrapped in favour of Sex Talk a nightmare, literally a nightmare 7 hours ago, Indie said: Hopefully it's because they're releasing it on Problematique if the insider tea is true x2 7 hours ago, popularmoonlight said: not a Normani feature nnnnnnnnnn i would've been open to it so that way we actually get music from that heaux 6 hours ago, Boysdontcry said: That’ll be weird bc Coconuts, HIFTB, Revelations (& maybe Sex Talk) will then be on two albums. Problematique should’ve just been released last Summer. honestly though the back and forth with that record made no sense only for it to leak and then everyone like and prefer that as oppose to what we were getting 6 hours ago, Boysdontcry said: Was Coconuts a last minute addition then? Bc she didn’t announce it when she revealed the Problematique songs. Technically Coconuts was never on the original Problematique tracklist anyway. i'm just glad that it's gonna have a home. one of the few songs i liked that she's put out 6 hours ago, popularmoonlight said: Actually excited for what’s happening now So happy that they’re letting her release these finally. Guess playing by the label rules really do helps you is it though? it's made her debut as a label artist come across and cause alot of divisiveness amongst her fanbase and critics and even kim herself lol let's wait and see what we get.

If they knew her fanbase, they'd know that her fans would've loved the album.

Of course, flopping gets you delayed, but maybe they truly are trying to use that for their own profit. Fans have been expecting this album for years and now Petras has the opportunity to release a whole new body of work and on top of that, capitalize on also releasing something the album original fans were actually waiting for. Do you see what i’m saying? I’ve observed this with a few artists lol that's definitely not the vibe. labels don't delay to build anticipation lol in this day and age it's counterproductive lol kim has been delayed time and time again due to underperforming according to their standards now they're just trying to recoup and strike while the iron is hot post unholy

Whis Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Y’all were calling Problematisue dated, boring, her worst work yet before it got scrapped
blackstar Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 She's so sick for scrapping Your Time To Cry from FTB. Hopefully we'll get Problématique with YTTC on it

Nido Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Sex Talk is fun, ear candy, Era 1 type of music and it's perfect for those TikTok character edits. Some of y'all clearly have no taste
Kirby Kirbs Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 I wonder if Problematiqué will simply just be shortened to not include tracks making FTB or there will be other tracks replacing their original slots as well. Also not everyone discussing about Problematiqué more than FTB already
