This is what annoys me with so much of Charli's music. She has so many songs that feel like they're building towards something MASSIVE and then they just… end. It's so anticlimactic :skull: 

Am I missing something? Party 4 u has exactly that to me :skull: like the third minute and the come to my partyyyyyyy part is the release

well, there are lots of different ethos to music, the typical build-and-release type we see in pop is just one of them. that bridge and outro evokes an emotional edging not unlike the feeling you get when someone you want to show up to your party that you planned and anticipated for hours upon hours does not come. she writes with a purpose, not every emotion has a climactic build-and-releaase.

The one song that makes me feel this way - that is, that it failed elevate into something that felt promised - is Twice, after the key change. Which, perhaps not coincidentally, I think shares some sonic DNA with Party 4 U.

 

This song, though, I think resolves in a way that feels fulfilled. What I love about it and some others in her discography is that they build this clear structure and direction and then, instead of amping up and exploding, they sort of decompose and fall apart into this beautiful, complicated mess of sounds and melodies and feelings. Forever does something kind of similar. I think that's an element that sort of calls back to Track 10's final minutes.

This is all true and I respect it. I think my biggest problem with songs like these is that they build up so much tension and it never gets released, so ultimately I walk away from the song feeling unsatisfied. I feel the same way about Break The Ice by Britney. I guess songs like these just aren't for me.

To be fair it's been a minute since I listened to P4U ddd. I had a few other Charli songs in mind when I made that comment.

Amazing song, Atlantic should try and push it. If it becomes her Pink Pony Club/Cruel Summer, that would be awesome
