I hope the music is good because the concept kind of sucks

I'm afraid we won't know if the concept is good or bad until we actually hear the album.

We don't have any solid data to believe that she is at 2M preorders, but the Target numbers are quite insane. She is at +200k there and 1989TV did less than 100k (preorders).

For comparison, 1989TV did around 850k preorders overall and ended up at 1.36M pure sales.

I guess you are okay with a Jack production?

I'm totally fine with it. I would've loved it if she had worked with new producers but I'm not complaining. dance fever has to be one of my most favorite releases this decade so far so my expectations are hiiiigh

THAT record doesn't seem so out of reach after all :ryan3:

I know she makes great music with dessner and antonoff but she should branch out with other producers and test the waters before deciding on a new collaborator and direction. She needs to revamp and change up her sound for the next era to avoid reduncancy.

there was no way in hell she would do this album with anyone else but jack and aaron. I'm sure ts12 will be more lighthearted and  she will work with other people

Kinda love the way she approached the promo for this. The issue with MMWM is that it was too dragged out. This time she left us desperate for info then bombarded us with it a few days before it comes out so the hype is at its peak at the right moment. How many times have we seen artists waste all their hype with their lead single?

 

:clack:

She doesn't have 2 million preorders.

 

These projections aren't based on any solid facts.

These projections are based on likes on Insta and Twitter so it's credible and I believe it :WAP:

My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys and Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? being self-written. :heart:

sorry but it's hard to blame everything on jack considering how great recent albums by lana, florence and st vincent were 

 

the only thing i blame him for is the fact that he's a yes man :suburban:

At least that many.  May have produced one or two of her solo written tracks

I'm clinging to the fact that because she's obsessed with having her albums be sonically cohesive and that Aaron doesn't specialise in dreary synth pop, this album hopefully won't be a synth pop record. The 3am songs on MID that Aaron produced simply wouldn't have fit on the standard album which is why they were left off
