base talk Billie releasing 9 vinyl variants after environmental claim

[Aria0327]

yeah they are all recyclable material but is there a need to release nine variants    

[aotearoa]

It's so wasteful and it's irritating to me that we're still at a point where you care that much about your numbers and you care that much about making money 

[MardinBeksloy]

lol they knew this would come and bite them in the end so that explains the added clauses, yall are so gullible it's funny. At least other pop girls own up to their variants and don't try to be cool in the interview  

[LVP]

Keeping aside the eco thing it's still hypocritical when she says

Sticking to her original point!

Not her clocking OP like that. Unless she is sticking extra tracks on there like some, or different front covers, it's not the same.

Give us reason for this also pls

Not even Taylor or Bey will ever do this 

Her US Store had a singular signed vinyl for sale, which is now sold out. I see all of the time artists doing these kinds of bundles in the UK, including Dua. Not sure if they have different rules there but I only see it in the UK

I wonder what stops her from releasing just one edition. That would be the best way to save ~our~ earth.

And not doing it just for 'chart' and 'money'

There's always asterisks when it comes to your favs. She called others out for releasing multiple vinyl, and ended up doing the exact SAME thing but claiming she's recyling eco-materials. Well you do realize she can also recycle with ONE variant right? If she care about climate that much? Hypocrisy at best

No, virtue signaling is having people sign useless petitions that don't go anywhere or wearing a shirt that says "pollution kills.” Taking measures in your own career to stand by what you preach is the opposite of virtue signaling. At least she recycles the material at all. Some just recycle the music. 

there was a much simpler way to stand by what she preached that wouldn't have required a two paragraph fine print addendum to her album rollout lmao

Same album, just different colors.

Only 10 Songs? 

Really? 

I Hope we get a Deluxe of it

Talk about a miserable fanbase

What about this then

 

Or about her saying that other artist are chart hungry

 

 

 

 

 

Call three of your friends. Play rock, paper, scissors for the signed one.

 

Easy.

 

 

OR: Buy one single signed one

SUSTAINABILITY

 

For her forthcoming album, Billie EIlish will be releasing a limit of 8 variants of vinyl through her website as well as all major retailers including Target, Amazon, and Walmart; each on the same day, containing the same track-listing across the board and all produced with the most sustainable practices available. The standard black variant is made from 100% recycled black vinyl. The remaining 7 colored vinyl will be made from ECO-MIX or BioVinyl. The former is created using 100% recycled compound made of leftovers from any color which cannot otherwise be used. These pieces are recycled and re-used for production of future discs; therefore, every disc will be unique and look different from the last. Additionally, Billie is using recyclable compound for her single LP colors, collecting all first run scraps to re-use for additional runs later. BioVinyl helps reduce carbon emissions by 90% vs. virgin vinyl by using non-fossil fuel materials like used cooking oil or industrial waste gases while maintaining the same audio and optical quality as conventional vinyl.

All vinyl packaging is made from FSC® certified recycled paper/boards made 100% from post-consumer waste and recycled pre-consumer fibers. The ink used is raw plant-based and water-based dispersion varnish. In place of shrink-wrap, the sleeves are 100% recycled and re-usable. For shipping, all finished goods are packaged and shipped to depots in up to 93% recycled and 100% recyclable shipping boxes.

 

Cassette shells will be made from recycled shell pieces that are ground down and re-used to make new cassette shells. Absolutely no plastic cassette boxes will be used; instead FSC certified eco-friendly stock to make o-cards will be used in their place. Compact Disc packaging will be made from softpaks, with zero plastic jewel boxes. All softpaks will be made from FSC Certified stock with 100% renewable fibers and up to 30% post-consumer recycled fibers that are 100% recyclable.

Recognizing sustainable design as an imperfect journey of efforts, Billie is using a range of solutions as she works with her team towards constant improvement. All merchandise clothing uses residual dead stock from prior productions, organic or recycled polyester or cotton, non-toxic dye inputs and intentional design processes for circularity, reduced climate impact and regeneration to reduce harm to people and planet. Posters are made from 100% recycled paper.

Leave her ALONE and simply click away if you don't like her. Y'all are so tired at this point.

I guess it gives the fans more option to choose. But still, by releasing 9 variants she also gives her fans the option to collect them everything. It's basically the same as the different covers and tracks, except that there's less efforts put in. There is no doubt that various covers give them more incentive to purchase, but is it really that different? Different covers are just more options, exactly the same as different vinyl colors.

Sure she could do that, but Isn't the vinyl colour the only thing that is different? What difference does it make if she released 100k of the same colour vs 100k of different ones? It's not a case of different covers or tracks that has die hard fans feeling they need to get each variant. 

[Mandalore]

Her and her brother are your stereotypical LA detached, wanna be activists, zero self-awareness phonies and they'll never change my mind jfjfkfk

 

It's the same way they campaign the hell out of their songs to win awards, then win, get on stage and act like they don't know how it happened or if they even deserve it and do an awkward teehee omg its tew much guyz speech 

[RideOrDie]

it's not about the numbers, charts and making more money when it's eco-friendly you guys! 

because capitalism wrapped in a holier than thou, morally superior package is not still capitalism!

 

[CandleGuy]

People not being able to distinguish between having 9 color options available vs artists who will variants with completely different covers and tracklists

Yeah if she's gonna pretend to be above charts and consumerism, she shouldn't spam versions and signatures.
