kos1692 Posted May 30 Posted May 30 She's just confirmed on IG stories two events , one is tomorrow in a kind of disco about the Hot City album premiere, and on June 1 a festival! We'll get a little promo for the album
GardenPanty Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Interesting how interviews are saying Snatched is the only completely new song when there's 2 songs on the album I've never heard before (Just A Kiss and Show You Mine)

BraveNewSeth Posted May 30 Posted May 30 8 hours ago, AmericanGirl said: Literally. The old lyrics are the best version (the demo that says 1999), the only ones that are better than the original mixes are Jenny & DGMGF. The original versions of Hot City, Slay, & Forever 21 (the production is better on the newer but I prefer the original vocal inflexions (ex: malibu & sprite) are superior Thank you! Good lord people treat me like I'm crazy when I say that but the production on the new Slay is terrible. It's all muffled and the bass doesn't hit as hard as it should… a mess. I do prefer all the other new versions tho, Forever 21 included even if I do find it to be a bit undercooked.

It's all muffled and the bass doesn't hit as hard as it should… a mess. I've been saying this! Doing an A-B test of the leaked final version and the released version, it doesn't punch as hard and it sounds less… spacious. She said in one of the interviews that Sony let her use the synths of the original recording because she found it impossible to replicate, but the mix is bad. I get that it's hard though because major labels have the best mixing and mastering engineers on retainer. Hot City's re-recording however is immaculate and I much prefer it over the leaked demo.

XtinaStripped Posted May 30 Posted May 30 They're re-recordings so they're never going to be exactly the same. Some things will be better on one version than the other, and vice versa. I'm just be happy it's even coming out at all because this doesn't happen in the industry. It's actually kind of a miracle? 2

It's weird tho because the 2020 final version of Slay sounds perfect, aside from the weird filter effect on her vocals during the verses. I just don't understand what happened between that and the version that eventually got released. I agree that Hot City is the best re-recording, along with Jenny. The final versions of both those songs were given that push they needed to take them from good to amazing.
