NumbSoul Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 It's out in NZ and it's another major bop She's really giving us everything we want and need! I think on first listen I like SLAY a bit more, but this is incredible as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZENO Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) 20 minutes ago, SpaceOddity said: She's indie, right? She might make a few thousand copies to sell through her site or something. She is yeah and it would make sense imo. She talked about hypotetically having a label to support her in the lates interview I posted, basically highlighting the fact that it would be nice to have one mostly because of its funds to produce music and collaterals. I think it's a pretty intricate topic when it comes to contemporary western music. The GP got used to simpler and shorter productions and I don't see any mainstream western artist having music with the same type of spark Bonnie's music has. Bonnie McKee is a name who genuinely crafted the Early 10s pop sound, and that sound is maximalist, rich and overall complex in the best way possible (imo). Right now K-Pop is the only active stage (on a mainstream type of level) which incorporates that kind of complexity, although it also mixes different genres depending on the artist/project. Now, TikTok has its own world which is often keen on reviving things a living eras of the past, and I personally believe Bonnie could start a movement to revive the Early 10s as she's one of the original artists who, as I said, made the Early 10s sound the way they sounded. She could build a proper cult following that way and she would be able to differentiate herself from the rest of the scene. Like, she could be a Carly Rae-sized Early 10s-sounding diva, which imo is just the best of the best. To do so, I think a small to mid sized label would be best as she would be able to keep (most of) her freedom while having support. A big label could possibly water the whole vision down to and force idiotic things such as having no bridges, no third choruses, no second verse and so on just to appeal the masses.

iamluisfelipe Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 WHAT A SMASH another banger for miss mckee. I still love Slay more but this is another great song. Cannot wait for the album!! (somehow I'm glad she's only releasing it now, cause I wasnt a fan around 2013. I loved American Girl but only digged into her during her EP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToHell Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 It seems like she signed a contract with a label/distributor. Unlike SLAY which was released under Bonnie McKee Music, HC is released under “Snafu Records”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, tik tok is basically her most realistic shot at gaining some actual momentum and land a deal. People love her sharing her songwriter experiences with bigger popstars but I do think she can get a bit too millennial type of corny with the way she uses tik tok so I don't know how captivating it is for younger people. Her best case scenario would be a song from the album blowing up and doing good streaming numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of songs blowing up, I think she could try to make an edit of I Wanna F Call You for TikTok replacing the phone notification's sound in the bridge with Grindr's and let the gays Padam it all the way up. "You guys, don't let me text him Do not let me text him [GRINDR'S] Oh my God, it's him I mean... really? It hasn't been two days yet, bro, relax" + CHORUS AND CHOREO Edited August 10, 2023 by ZENO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinri Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Needed time to get used to new SLAY but this one is 100% much better than the leak, love some production tweaks here and there How badly I've prayed for inclusion of the guitar solo from that one performance though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZENO Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Guys. I'm feeling emotional. This is... PERFECT. I'm speechless. This is even better than the already amazing version that leaked last year. The intro alone is so magical, the added synths throughout the song, everything. I haven't felt so moved by a music release in literally years and I'm so thankful I'm able to let my "groupie" side see the light again thanks to Bonnie. This whole album is set to become an album I'll forever love and I cannot wait to listen to it non-stop.

postergirl Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 She confirmed on IG live that there will be a vinyl of the album and a limited run of Bombastic on vinyl! She didn't say when the album is out though. She's also still toying with the idea of re-recording American Girl for the album because a lot of people have been asking for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BraveNewSeth Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 This is ******* amazing. I’ll be honest, I was never too impressed with this song. I liked it but I liked most of the other tracks more… but this is literally flawless. The demo just sounds so empty compared to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole idea of the album is to rerecord the songs that were never released. Unfortunately Sleepwalker was released as a promotional single. Would be fun of her to rerecord all the songs including AG and Sleepwalker but we’ll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
