boychik0830 Posted July 31 Posted July 31 1 hour ago, LittleFreak said: Not another self-titled album and why are all the songs so short Because people don't have the attention span to listen to something over 3 minutes and I'm pretty sure a song has to only be played for 30 seconds to count as a stream so no reason to make longer songs. 1
thatsmydemi Posted July 31 Posted July 31 6 minutes ago, jeffersonairplanes19 said: the real problem isn't gonna be island it's gonna be Shawn wanting to wander around the forest all day instead being a popstar. He's gonna release some singles, post some instagram stories and tweets, MAYBE a live tv performance and call it day. Shawn can survive without that kind of promo though. The problem with Island comes with streaming and non-televised promo. They can completely ignore a song if its performance doesn't live up to their expectations. If he gets a TTH placement after his last underperformance, you should be grateful.

I bet it's something one of his all natural hippies told him Interviewer: "Whats your biggest wellness hack" Shawn: "Laying in the sun" which is fine but WEAR SUNSCREEN WHEN U DO 1 1

truthteller Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) 30 minutes sound like a perfect duration to spend with Shawn on a daily basis Edited August 1 by truthteller 1
FOCK Posted August 1 Posted August 1 The cover is giving Soft White Underbelly YouTube video thumbnail.
Ivan_brit Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Album cover is fine, the album tittle is boring! Im worried all songs are below 3min However I will give him a chance!! Wonder was trash
mrmarrero Posted August 1 Posted August 1 looks like this album will have only one instrument: a guitar.
brokee Posted August 1 Posted August 1 That song he previewed in the album trailer is so beautiful. i like the direction of the album cause its fitting just him and the guitar like he was doing way back when he started his career. The only thing I hope is the material is good and true to himself and not just adding random stuff tryna follow a trend.

kellebrity98 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 20 hours ago, boychik0830 said: I can't get over how short these songs are as there are several songs that don't even reach the 2 minute mark. I wish that artists would quit making short songs for streaming purposes. in shawn's case and current state of popularity it's about paying bills
jeffersonairplanes19 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 i just realized he said "I couldn't step into a studio without falling into complete panic" he really hates being a popstar. which explains why the songs are so short.

Miles. Posted August 1 Posted August 1 20 hours ago, Into The Void said: People complaining about track lengths have obviously not listened to a new album the last 2 years Idk about yall this is the new norm. Check any 2022, 2023 and 2024 album most songs are 2-2:30 or shorter. 19 hours ago, OhMyAlf said: Literally this. Fair complaint if this were 2/3 years ago but this is just simply where most music is now I don't get the huge issue This is absolutely not true. There are plenty of artists who are still committed to storytelling and are rejecting the idea of 2:00 Tik Tok meme songs. Also, just because something is "normalized" doesn't mean we have to support it. If you're fine with the memeification of music, good for you, but as you can see from the comments here, most of us are not. The folk/alternative genre in particular demands poetic, lyrical storytelling, so if Shawn is attempting to go that direction, it's not going to work. The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess: 0/14 songs under 3 minutes Stick Season: 0/22 songs under 3 minutes The Tortured Poets Department: 2/31 songs under 3 minutes Hit Me Hard And Soft: 0/10 songs under 3 minutes Fireworks And Rollerblades: 1/14 songs under 3 minutes The Secret Of Us: 3/14 songs under 3 minutes We Don't Trust You: 2/17 songs under 3 minutes (including one that is 2:59) We Still Don't Trust You: 2/24 songs under 3 minutes Guts: 3/12 songs under 3 minutes (including one that is 2:57) 12
