We’re able to name ourselves in that way and take control of our identity. I wanted to create something similar to a screen name, or some type of tag that I could put on this era that would represent the persona or the energy that I was embodying for this particular project. https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/60630/1/tinashe-done-making-compromises-needs-talk-to-me-nice-bb-angel

So I thought we could do it again. Also give the thread a little traffic you know... Also, Amethyst is ALWAYS BE IMMACULATE. Yeah I can’t wait to go back and listen to everything again 1

She's been exploring this virtual landscape for a while, especially during the 333 era. So she chose BB/Ang3l as her "username," almost like a new persona — similar to how Nashe was for her previous projects. She could have used a period, an underscore, or any other symbol, and the idea would remain the same. I think the larger question here is whether this theme matches the music. But judging by the visuals and aesthetics, it probably doesn't. 3

That’s what irks me The official title would make sense if it was a full album and she called each half a name, otherwise it’s pointless to me

That’s what irks me The official title would make sense if it was a full album and she called each half a name, otherwise it’s pointless to me I would say that she chose a character that can leave room for interpretation, such as the two-part project and two personas, although not intentionally. This is conceptually incorrect by the way, because in most places you can't use "/" as a valid character when creating your username. To be honest, there are many other questions that can arise from this title. Why the number 3? What does "BB" stand for (baby, bad *****, etc.)? So, I don't know, I'm just not overanalyzing it, what she said it's what she said. At the end of the day, she can simply add seven new songs to this in a few months and call it a day and the "/" would make sense as a two-part project as it implies. 2

orange22 Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Spoiler The concept fell apart for me slightly when BB wasn’t “bad *****” but it’s whateva

Pasadena, Bouncin, and Undo visuals heavily delved into augmented/virtual reality, and I believe the album trailer also explored this theme. Even X had some science fiction elements. I doubt she will go full Star Wars or Matrix on us, though. That would require a significant budget.

That would require a significant budget. 333 is definitely the closest and I’m not expecting insane production value on an independent budget. I just feel like we haven’t seen her execute her vision at the highest level yet which is what I kind of thought this label partnership might be 1

I’ve thought we were getting a conceptual sci-fi album since Joyride I miss when her albums (mixtapes) had cohesive themes and the music reflected that, but I know she doesn’t like being singled to one genre on her albums. I just feel like the songs on her mixtapes all sounded like they were from the same project. Whereas now sometimes it feels like a bunch of random songs put together each project if that makes sense? 1
Nashe Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 I understand the title thing, but at the same time she says with this new era she wants to present herself more natural and "pure" like she never did before but then "BB/ANG3L" is a username or persona she chooses to represent herself with

But judging by the visuals and aesthetics, it probably doesn't. She been talking about this for ages but she can’t never follow through. I guess budget issues I suppose. The vision for this era is so confusing and the execution is very underwhelming. Her visions is one thing, the music is completely different from that vision, and the visual doesn’t really match either.
