Scandalous Posted May 25 Posted May 25 On 5/23/2024 at 8:24 AM, postergirl said: Joyride and Bloodline are cute! these are the two i liked the most too. it's a better project than i expected from the singles but i still miss a hits different/marilyn monroe type of banger
FireFade Posted May 27 Posted May 27 I've been flip-flopping this whole era, after a few listens, I think I'm underwhelmed. The singles are cute + Bloodline is a bop - but that's it for me. We need to lock her in the studio with Röyksopp for more electronic stuff, it really suits her. After their 3 collabs, I would eat up a joint mini-album/EP like Do It Again. 2
Joyride Posted May 28 Posted May 28 just got my notification from DHL, it was shipped out without notice and I've (once again) been hit with $50 in import fees from her store

Also the shipping for the vinyl itself was almost as much as the cost of the vinyl itself!
kos1692 Posted May 30 Posted May 30 I've just finished my first listen and wow, i loved Bloodline so much, it's an amazing song!!!! The rest is cute , maybe Hot Fever Dream can grow on me a little bit more!

I paid 900 NOK for the vinyl + shipping from Norway to literally another European country. then DHL hit me with customs since Norway is not in the EU - so the grand total I paid for that one single LP came out to around $125 I hated myself so much for it. if I ever decide to get this album, I'm ordering it from imusic or something since it's exact same version, she's not selling them signed this time.

I'm importing to South America this time so it was bound to happen. I purchased and didn't look back because I knew I was gonna have to pay the fee anyways.
alexaalto Posted May 30 Posted May 30 (edited) me and my friend listened this album together and the songs feel unfinished somehow. the choruses don't stand out and right when you are waiting for the bridge the song ends. it had potential to be good but it's just okay now cause the songs lack some good structure. bloodline had such a good verses and pre-chorus but the chorus seems sleepy. and no bridge again I'm sorry I love you too had so good pre-chorus and nice verses but to me the chorus is too repetitive and doesn't fit to the song. this one could've used a bridge too Edited May 30 by alexaalto

Totally agree with this.
alexaalto Posted August 24 Posted August 24 is there any news about a deluxe? this album would really benefit from it
