alestevens Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 You can't deny that following up WWAFAWDWG?, HTE had a lot of things tarnishing it, from a big social media backlash and poor single choices making the album fail to meet expectations. But the album, after a long and successful world tour, ended up being big enough among her fanbase, even booking one of her signature hits along the way with the title track. Now she's smashing with her song for the Barbie soundtrack, and in her interviews she seems more glowing that she has ever been. She exudes genuine happiness and excitement over both her career and life in general. She's also at her very best vocally, which is also promising for the next album to be recorded What do you think? Will her next album take her back to the top echelons of the music industry? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebeltwat Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) 100%. To think people were saying she was over after the useless bad publicity she was getting during HTE's rollout Edited August 21, 2023 by rebeltwat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Cruz Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I'd love for her to invest in full a** band in the next cycle. It would give more dynamics to her live performances and honestly I'm really tired of these acoustic sets with Finneas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooj Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hopefully. If the material is as good as HTE, shes here to stay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billionaire Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Both WWIMF? & HTE were huge hits and undoubtedly brought a new audience to check for her, several of her older songs have gone viral post-HTE, people will generally be seated for what she has to say post-Jesse/Matthew breakup and she'll also likely be experimenting with new collaborators/producers (which could go either way). Unless she has another disastrous HTE-like rollout, this next album is absolutely shaping up to be massive.

JohnWayneHolland Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Regardless of how successful it is, I feel like it will be a great album, she's one of the most interesting artists nowadays because she's not afraid of trying new things, so I'm perched 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckythisway Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Her voice sounded impeccable in that performance, wow. And to think ppl here had the nerve to call her vocals “weak” OT: Yes I fear, she’s an album artist and has formed a solid base that will carry her throughout the rest of her career. She always had residual goodwill from the GP but now they’re more tuned in with WWIMF?/Barbie’s success. With a proper rollout & undeniable lead, BE3 will smash Edited August 21, 2023 by luckythisway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiliam Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 she needs to release the bops like Bad guys, therefor i am type of bops as singles. Her ballad might do well, but the bops will make her have much more exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wish Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 HTE was a big era whether ATRL likes it or not. Acclaim, strong streams (12 songs over 100M), great pure sales, iconic blonde hair reveal, a full worldwide arena tour and multiple stadiums in Asia and Latin America... Now with WWIMF smashing & her hype still going strong, it's OBVIOUS she's here to stay. Next era will be great, I'm excited for what she delivers next 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just soft but she could reach super high notes that sounded beautiful. But she has matured a lot as a vocalist. It can especially be felt on the everything i wanted performance at Global Citizen. It's a super soft song which she used to lowkey "whisper" the low notes for. But listen to this: 12 minutes ago, wish said: HTE was a big era whether ATRL likes it or not.

First era that establishes her - Massive sophomore effort - Big era that doesnt hit the GP just as much. So her next era should be her Red!

bad guy Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 If her “flop” album HTE can pull out nearly 7M units WW and a completely GP organic smash hit with the one of the most disastrous rollouts ever then I don’t see how BE3 won’t be another hit album as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habibro Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It won’t be bigger than her debut that’s for sure. I see another HTE sized album. The three songs that smashed from the Barbie soundtrack were heavily promoted singles. WWIMF also failed to hit the BBH100 top 10 so I’m not sure how that sets up her next album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristie Kuwa Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Billie will smash and is here to stay.
