Lady Claire Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 For her next EP/mini-project i would love for it to be fully in German. Some brand new tracks and then the versions from the songs she already released in English. I really want TP German version officially released She needs to improve her brand in Germany too, and this would help her a lot.

Suilen Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Claws is great. I also started to appreciate brrr as it didn't hit me when it was first released. It's nice that Hit It From The Back is officially released, but I might've overplayed the leak. Would be cool to get more songs with a deluxe/whatever.
Hephaestus Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Everything I drop is a banger Every time I hop out the Phantom I step in the place, baby let's go When they turn their heads, they go "uh oh" She really put crack in this one, it's too good
Hephaestus Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 No because what was the reason for not including Try Again in this album? Her team is a mess!

Witchpop Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Try Again will make a very nice replacement for Unholy since I deleted that garbage
Woo-Ah Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 I got tickets for the FTB Tour in cologne!! I’m so excited!!

I really love If Jesus Was a Rockstar, it's more lowkey than most of the album but very catchy and pure pop. Ironically though, if there's anything that sounds like a Teenage Dream reject (which I feel like has been thrown around as shade towards the album?), it's If Jesus Was a Rockstar. But I don't really find that to be a bad thing since Teenage Dream is amazing.

MusicIsMyMaster Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Playing this album everyday! My friends also absolutely love it

Freaky Prince Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Who was the insider who said Problematique is still coming? Any new info
Freaky Prince Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 IJWARS over KOH and Claws? Nod and smile yall 1 1
Tistotal Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 I just listened to Try Again and didn't she show us a snippet from that song on a live? It's an excellent song How didn't it make the cut and Bait did lmao
HEAVYONIT Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Just watched her GMA performance finally and I was pleasantly impressed. The vocals are there, she just needs to work on her stage presence/choreography. Sometimes she comes off as awkward but she'll get more and more used to it.
Mke1979 Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) I still wish songs like Close Your Eyes and In The Next Life were hits. They could have been on this album and been still as cohesive and modern. As it is - Claws sounds like it belongs on Turn Off The Light. Edited July 4, 2023 by Mke1979 1

We didn’t get that on the actual album. 12 hours ago, Lady Claire said: For her next EP/mini-project i would love for it to be fully in German.

From the snippet I already like her vocal delivery more; it’s less nasally than the English version. And if you notice, there’s a harpsichord/guitar sound in the German version that gives it a more folky/lullaby vibe which I loveee. Imagine uhoh in German

Это отличная песня, как она не попала в список, а Bait сделал это Yes, she included this track in her instagram live, the track was changed at the last moment to "coconuts"
Slate Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Loving the IJWARS stannings, an underrated masterpiece 2
Alfred Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Am I the only one who got reminded of this song from BAIT? Similar vibes
Whis Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Removed Coconuts, Unholy and Brr and added Try Again WHEW AN ALBUM!
GardenPanty Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Claws is kinda overrated... like it's cute but definitely mid in terms of the rest of her discog 1 2

But I don't really find that to be a bad thing since Teenage Dream is amazing. I just find the song to be beautifully melancholic. She is essentially saying that she feels left out of religion due to its puritanical nature, there's this undercurrent of being disatisfied with the modern fast life and perhaps glancing at religion at a way of finding spirituality and meaning but she can't reconcile the way it demands your wants and freedoms be restricted.... and on a subtler level the song could be interpreted as a commentary on how most religions reject trans people like her. I've always said Kim needs to make a song about being trans, which she has never done, and that's how she's going to truly break out. There was supposed to be one on this album as per an interview she did but it seems to have vanished from the track listing. Of course she's the artist and can choose what to do, but I just think that is what really sets her apart from every other pop star wannabe, she's had this insane life story of being one of the youngest trans women ever in Europe to be really public about it... it's incredibly courageous, brave, historic and I think society needs that perspective in music. If she can find a way to build a huge pop hook out of that I think that will be the moment she truly becomes a superstar. What people ultimately want from music is honesty. They want to hear the unvarnished truth even if it makes them uncomfortable. Kim's story is the ultimate story of being true to yourself no matter the whole trying to bring you down... that would make a way more powerful song than another story of being high in the club and throwing it back to daddy. 1
