May Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 the songs themselves are of course good, and have been good in their previously leaked formats but i can’t believe we waited so long for these mixes specifically, they’re rly nothing special in comparison to the versions we’ve already had 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living Legend Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 the beat ruined Damn You. One of her best unreleased tracks but this is not it. Sounds like a fan made it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLockhart Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 'Damn You' now sounds like an unpolished fan-made demo when the actual demo was already perfect It would've been much better with re-recorded vocals and a better production, not like a mashup with BTD songs stems 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen99 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 the BTD-ization the demo was truly perfect... one of the demos... i forgot which one. there's an amazing song hidden inside, she just needs to find the right version. 2 hours ago, Innocencelost said: the “Cut” missing at the end of Hollywood’s Dead lol it just shows how demos so often end up being better than the final versions. i remember being scared there would be no shattered glass in the next best american record after the BAR demo (she ruined the song anyway with the flop lyrics).

VENUSWAVE Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) still remember when certain infamous scammer on LanaBoards got the snippet along the BTD instrumentals from some music database it's full circle it's extremely disappointing though another Roses situation i fear Edited November 15, 2023 by VENUSWAVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquiddiamonds Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Whats the backstory of this mixtape? Never heard of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbsparce Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 The production on Damn You sounds like the typical radio mix some of the BTD singles received (Summertime Sadness, Dark Paradise). I didn't know there was a scrapped 2012 project. Was everything scrapped or did some songs make it on Paradise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherocks Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 It's crazy how boxed in her BTD sound was. And while I love BTD, it's really crazy how ppl trash Jack these days and praise Emile (or even worse: Rick Nowels) almost as if they have forgotten how incredibly dull their productions were.

I didn't know there was a scrapped 2012 project. Was everything scrapped or did some songs make it on Paradise? Shortly after BTD came out she talked about putting together a mixtape of songs that didn't make the album. These 2 were probably included since they got a final mix but plans shifted once she began putting together the Paradise EP which were all entirely new songs except for the Yayo rework. My hunch is that the mixtape contained these songs: Damn You, Hollywood's Dead, Hit and Run, What's a Girl to Do, You Can be the Boss, Hundred Dollar Bill...they had the BTD feel but never made it into final tracklisting which they would have then been worked on by Emile Haynie.

I personally think Love is a career highlight for her. It revisited some of the BTD sonic palette but a bit of a refresh.

NOW Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 These 2 songs would've sounded gorgeous with final Emile Haynie production but I'm glad she went the Paradise route...these wouldn't have stood out with the rest of the BTD songs and while Paradise isn't my favorite release, it did push her into raunchier territory beyond the 1960s pinup Americana dressup that stylized BTD.
