After listening to the album a few times, I've realized the middle section of Blue (starting with the "you were born bluer than a butterfly" line until right before the final chorus starts) might be my favourite moment in her entire discography :jonny: It's so incredibly haunting and mesmerizing and it moves through so many emotional and unexpected vocal, lyrical and melodic choices in a way that feels so seamless. It catches me by surprise every time I listen even though I know it's coming now.

She is so dumb for gatekeeping that excellent production only at the last minute of L'AMOUR DE MA VIE..... we NEED an entire album with this sound :rogue:

This album is insane. The last 30 seconds of Chihiro is just :jonny2:

Even if I REALLY want Cowboy Carter to win AOTY, I will be happy if this does instead. Deserved!

The melody on 

 

Quote

You say no one knows you so well

But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
Valentine's Day, cryin' in the hotel
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself

 

Is just so so good :WAP:

YESSSS. This needs more recognition. It is one of my favorite moments in music.

Wait what? What platform are you seeing that?

this album is beyond amazing. I'm happier than ever with it! Billie, you can't stop winning! Talent is everything!

Birds of Feather is my favorite from now, but the 10 tracks are amazing!

Fantastic!

10/10

I'm so annoyed they're pushing lunch for the shock factor when Chihiro is clearly the song that would impress mostly listeners and draw people in

Lunch is more radio friendly (though the lyrics may be a bit too much lol) than Chihiro. Chihiro is too long and doesn't have a clear radio edit like HTE did.

This album would've truly benefitted from having some of these songs split into two separate tracks.

I am getting tired of her same old trope of having a slow start in a song and then having interesting/unique productions locked to the last minute. I don't know why she keeps doing this. It is literally so frustating as a listener.

So many of these songs having an insane production outro :jonny2: Chihiro, Bittersuite :jonny2:

 

Bittersuite kind of the only one not hitting me hard or soft yet, but I think that's partially because its so far into the album. I'll have to revisit

I normally hate songs that are essentially two short songs stuck together, but it does not really bother me on this album too much.

I think because it's not really two short songs stuck together at any point on this album, it's more well thought out shifts. To me, this is a kind of refreshing jump back to some of the greats of old (think Zappa or In the Court of the Crimson King).

I can see Lunch being the TIA (immediate radio-friendly chart hit) while Chihiro is the HTE (fan favorite with far better longevity and keeps the album afloat)
