She did a Q&A on Twitter

 

- MV director of Lucky will make everyone flip out ;

- The album will be all over the place, she thought it was gonna be her last one when she started creating it so she didn't hold back, it is not full pop ;

- Too many songs on the tracklist "she's been told lol" ;

- There will be a tour ;

- Britney heard and validated Lucky, Halsey would've never released the song without her consent ;

- The first song she wrote for the album is "The End" ;

- The album is 100% Ashley, fist fighting with Halsey ;

- She knows we want rock music ;

- She worked Alex G & Michael Uzowuru on the album (who both worked on Frank ocean's albums) as well as Greg Kurstin ;

OMFGGGGG WE WON

It's giving Kelly Clarkson 'Because of You' but make it ~aesthetic~

Heard the leak. It's cute but doesn't feel like obvious lead single material, although 'New Americana', 'Now or Never', and 'Graveyard' weren't either. The prechorus ("When I die I won't have time to SPEND my money, but I hope @lillavend3r still loves me.") is the best part. I also appreciate some of the subtly quirky production touches like the dissonant background vocals, her cadence on the second verse, and the schoolyard chants that almost seem to mock, and the welcome nod to Godnica's 'Angel of Mine' of course.

 

The 'Lucky' chorus interpolation feels sorta unnecessary, but adds an interesting contrast to the raw and personal verses almost in a meta kind of way. Still doesn't work as a whole for me and don't see this smashing hard or anything, but maybe a 'Graveyard' or 'Be Kind' type of success at best which would be nice following So Mid and I am not panned, I'm acclaimed. 7/10 

 

Her Twitter Q&A has me more excited for the rest of the album and I still believe the multi-character / 4 decades theory.

It is a gorgeous song but it is very personal and lacks mass appeal so I don't think it is a great lead but I understand why she chose it b/c it really tells her story over the past few years.

 

This is not even gonna bubble under but i LOVE IT - it is so beautiful and it kind of reminds me of Joanna by jojo thematically.  If this is what arts not charts is then I think she's on a good trajectory.

such a lazy effort.. and I really don't like how she changed the chorus melody :skull: well

Trusting the vision but I'm a bit confused on the decision to sample an entire chorus for a lead single. "The End" was amazing, hopefully we get some more like that.

I will be shocked if this becomes a hit, but I don't think it's impossible… I mean she's on Columbia which is already a plus. But yeah I think it will depend how the GO reacts to it. I think she's gone viral a few times for the promo so far.

 

If Britney says something about it (good or bad) then it could be another big viral moment lol.

I don't think I'm going to enjoy this album. These songs aren't doing it for me. They aren't bad but they aren't exciting either and I don't find myself wanting to replay them.

I love this song

does somebody else hear the angel of mine monica sample too?
