RoseBud Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Based on these comments alone, Billie and Chappell will be stronger during the upcoming awards season.

Saintlor Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Juno is the first song I'm listening to The vocals sound so generic. She has really improved her vocals over the years and worked a lot on sounding distinct. What is this?
alexaalto Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 the first 4 of these were great and after that good/okay after the initial listen: -Good Graces -Bed Chem -Taste -Espresso -Juno -Please Please -Don't Smile I don't really like the production on these and I do listen a lot of guitar/country music but it is not working for me on these particular tracks. Slim Pickins might be okay sometimes. Oh if these would sound sonically like Good Graces/Bed Chem/Espresso I would like/love them. -Slim Pickins -Sharpest Tool -Dum & Poetic -Lie To Girls -Coincidence
OrgVisual Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Sabrina girl this is how you're supposed to do kuntry-pop, not whatever on this new album 1

fountain Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Taste and Juno are future smashes And the album as a whole is great overall

Prismee Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 yeah those expecting an album of 10 Espressos are gonna be disappointed there's a couple bops for sure (Taste, Juno) but there's a good mix of other slower stuff that is growing on me after the second listen (same as EICS tbh)
Taylor fanboy Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 The beautiful centerpiece of the album. Joni Mitchell's daughter. Kinda wish it's the album title omg 2 1
sleepevaded Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 reading this thread as a stan since 2015 is just hilarious, truly. a lot of you have no idea who sabrina is as an artist, don't blame her for your wild expectations! can't wait to listen in a few hrs 10
Taylor fanboy Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 This is such a 70s serve! Ugh I love it! Carly Simon's niece! 2

Riverbank Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 The album is fine. Certain songs are already growing on me and the quality control is definitely more present here than on emails i can't send. Taste is a cute soft-rock moment, it kind of reminds me of Haim. I'm not entirely sold on it though, but again radio ate Please Please Please up so this probably would be no different. Good Graces is probably the closest thing to Espresso on this album, which is no coincidence since both share the same producer (I wish Bunetta produced more than just two songs here btw). It's a cute R&B flavored pop number, definitely the most instant one for me and my fave among the new tracks I love to **** on Antonoff as much as the next gay on this site, but Sharpest Tool is actually pretty cute. The 80s production really shines on this one. It actually sounds straight out of his work on Lover (complimentary) Coincidence was a skip for me on first listen but it grew on me since then. I think the guitar particularly elevates it, though I still feel it needs something to make it punch harder On paper, Bed Chem should work as a song but something feels a bit off and I can't exactly pinpoint it. I don't know if it's her vocal delivery that's slightly too high at times, or the fact that you could tell she was forcing some of these quirky lyrics into the song. It doesn't hit the mark for me. I understand what she was going for, but these type of songs are better when they just come effortlessly to the artist. Juno is pleasant enough but it lacks some groove. I feel like it's a less developed version of other songs we've already heard on this album. I'm seeing a lot of praise for this one so it might grow on me after a few listens idk. Don't Smile is a gorgeous closer. Love it. However the whole "don't smile because it happened..." thing is about as cliché as it gets But it's cute in all its endearing innocence. There's like about two ballads that I don't care about here. I'll give them another chance later This isn't the bulletproof pop album people were rooting for after hearing Espresso. It's definitely more country-folk influenced than I expected. But I think switching in and out of these different sounds is a pretty clever approach, and hopefully it can help her develop her own artistic identity, rather than being confined to one single genre. 1
Prismee Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 Don't Smile is beautiful, i thought it was a snooze on first listen but it's a total dreampop vibe

You can tell they hop on the Espresso sound and thought she would serve a bopiana album and to be honest, on this day climate, the GP doesn´t want an album full of bops. The sound of this album is smart because it mixes all of the sounds she has embraced on her career with her best lyricism and production while also appealing to commercial and critical success. But yeah obviouslt the ATRL gays will stand with their limited knowledge outside their tiny bubble 2
Revel Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 The Espresso producer should have executively produced this album. Can't believe he only had two songs on this album (Espresso and Good Graces) which are by far the best songs on this record on first listen. 2
Mocha Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 this is a great pop album email's wig remains safe however
Walk_Away21 Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 Caved and listened to Taste only OMG. A SMASHA @halcyonday @Taylor fanboy 1

ainadalkaz Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 i'm going crazy but the way she's singing the verses in good graces remind me of britney's hold it against me
Julia Fox Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 Just now, Riverbank said: The Billie clan doesn't claim ha either I have tell the mods that they need to ban ha because its really irritating the way he spreads missinformation then deletes it to not get caught and also makes passive aggresive comments about their so called faves. It's literally a troll and i have been restricted from posting from way less
