wastedpotential Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I really do like the Fortnight acoustic and I'm glad it's on streaming now. I think stripping out the drone production (which I do really like, fwiw) allows the vocal melodies and hooks to really shine through. Fortnight was never going to be a mega smash like Cruel Summer or Anti-Hero, but I hope those of y'all who took issue with it as the single can begin to understand where the choice came from. Now, that cults remix... I'd probably like it more if they didn't pitch her vocals and speed the song up by .25, but they put the vocals way back in the mix and put the ******* xylophone line over top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Boy would have been a great lead single with that ear-worm chorus. Even better would have been GAS because if you think about it, that's kind of the starting point for everything that happened later... the Joe boredom and Ratty intense fling. So what better way to start the album campaign than with the beginning of that story as the lead? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayliah Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I cant i wont suppot broken heart cuz that song is like stay stay stay with slightly better lyrics and production.

There I said it. why this has 300 million streams i will never understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to @ you but I'm glad you knew who I was talking to And I mean GaS would've also been a great pick (and as a song I prefer it significantly), but there's just something so streamlined about the melody in the My Boy hook (and if I had any say, that would be the entire title ) that it just screams lead single to me. Might not have been another Anti-Hero but it'd have been special, and there's a literal doll themed video concept built in... Imagine what it would've been like on tour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my eyes, it's a mix of the better qualities of Gorgeous and Bejeweled (but I don't love either of those songs, so...), but Satan Satan Satan is a bit of a harsh comparison 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only potential problem is that the "puppet" scenery would have been redundant with the Broken Heart intro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilsRollTheDice Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I've seen the light on Broken Heart. It's fun, catchy, and weirdly relatable given its inspiration. Taylor gets a lot of mileage out of cheesy singles. She cashed that check a little too far (until it bounced!) with the Lover singles, but I think BH is the right second single. Fun narrative, too. That said, it still reminds me of diet soda lol. Something is just…missing. It's also too shimmery, I'm getting sick of that quality. DB, My Boy, and GAS are the obvious remaining choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much my thoughts. It used to be my skip (and sometimes it still is if I'm not in the mood), but it's a bit hollow and derivative. It's the best version of it's class of Taylor songs (as I've said, it's a cousin to Bejeweled and Gorgeous with a splash of Stay x3's inbred genetics thrown in), but I don't need any more of them As a single (and Italian radio adds are ******* weird so I don't necessarily think this is next in the US), I have a feeling it'd tank horrifically just because that sound is pretty DOA on radio these days, though the streaming numbers will continue to be insane, and it's certainly fast tracking itself to join DBM and august (and probably All Too Well TMV by that time) in the 1B non-singles club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Reader Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) Broken Heart > Snorenight but I'm sure I'll get some girlies mad Spoiler Even though this Acoustic version is kinda cute I guess… I just need her to put some effort in these, just record some different vocals Taylor pls… they did wonders on the instrumental Edited July 9 by Dear Reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrows Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Broken Heart is still really good when blasted on full volume in your home or in the car. But it just doesn't hit the same when played at a party, with headphones on, on the radio, as background noise or at any social event really, imo. I LOVED it at first listen, but it quickly fell down the rankings for me. It reminds me of Girlfriend by Avril; hit potential among the kids, but not something that'll help her brand, make people play the album or gain the respect of the GP.
