Delirious Posted May 30 Posted May 30 I'd rate it 7/10 maybe higher if it grows Some tracks have missing stuff
Dragonfly Posted May 30 Posted May 30 can DeBra come through it be midnight already... lemme listen to American Girl in the meantime I was raised by a television every day is a circumcision 2
Schami66 Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Forever 21 will forever be the holy pop grail to me. Can't believe, that it's finally on spotify. This album is such a huge win for Bonnie. I'm so happy for her. 1
BlackJesus Posted May 30 Posted May 30 I'm happy Americal Girl, Sleepwalker and Stars in your heart finally have a home 4
Bubble Tea Posted May 30 Posted May 30 I'm scared to hit play, its out here but it's almost too holy, too precious, too sacred. I am not worthy. 3
Lady Claire Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Listening to it rn. Don't Get Mad Get Famous already sounds better and fuller with the feature 2
kos1692 Posted May 30 Posted May 30 (edited) 5 hours and 9 minutes to listen the album in my country!!!!!! Edited May 30 by kos1692
TakeYouToHell Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Album of the year decade. I was gagged at the new productions. Show You Mine deserves to be a single, I feel like it would've been better choice than SLAY in 2014.
TrashMagiq Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Snatched does not fit in at all lol I really don't get why she would include that in an album that's full-on early 2010s maximalist pop. Stars In Your Heart is also kinda random but I do love that song so whatever. Other than that, she really did her thing. These rerecordings sound so good. I'm so glad she finally got to put these songs out. 1
Alex Posted May 30 Posted May 30 the album is actually pretty solid? seems like she treated this release more like a vault compilation than just the album specifically (more noticeable towards the end) but it kind of works as a nice wrap up of that era.

pavi Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Just had my first full listen and oh my god, this is so good She did so well on re-recording the songs! I'm lucky I only really knew Forever 21, Electric Heaven, and Hot City from the leaks, so I can't really tell any difference on most tracks anyway, but she slayed the ones I already knew, too! Electric Heaven is the only one where I really hear a difference, but that's mostly because the demo I had was so rough and loud (which I loved). The beat doesn't come in as loud as I'm used to, but it's so crisp, so I'll definitely get used to it Also, the track placement is so good! I was kinda scared Sleepwalker wasn't gonna fit in sonically, but it actually does very well. I really love how the album gets a bit 'darker' in sound in the second half but ends light again. Don't know if I like Snatched after my first listen, tho: I like how queer/gay it is and it's fun, but I fear maybe it's too much of a rough/wild Slayyyter moment to really fit on this project. Wel'll see how it grows! The mixing does feel 'off' on some songs: if you compare the way her voice is mixed in American Girl to songs like I Wanna Call You and Worst In Me, I feel like there's quite a quality gap. Can't really blame her for it, so I'll get over it. I mean, I like my loud, maximalist pop, so I don't mind if something feels overproduced a little From the songs I didn't know yet, Show You Mine, Worst In Me, Rewind Your Heart, and Everything But You are my favourites So happy for her it's finally out! I hope she finds some underground gay pop success with this and maybe get a small tour out of it, she deserves it
RadioactiveLights Posted May 31 Posted May 31 I miss the intro to I Wanna Call You, but this is still really great! I'm happy for her for taking back her work.
