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  

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

Need that White Roses renaissance too  

Me getting reaffirmed in my belief that this era was meant to be what brat became culturally

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. 

this song never did much for me but nonetheless i'm glad it's having a moment 

 

Track 10 next hopefully

top 5 charli songs i love seeing taste win out in the end also this is her best album but idk if we are ready for that conversation...

one of her best songs i know that's RIGHT

One of the best songs from her best album omgggg

Well-deserved, the song is amazing. Also, i love to see the Don't call me love. That song is one of her best unreleased alongside make u mine. 

One of her best songs 

It's one of my favorite songs of all time. The way I still listen to it at least once weekly since it's release

One of her best songs EVER 

 

I remember bawling my eyes out to it during lockdown

Been loving this song for years. I hope she gets a huge hit out of it!

Ok Enemy next

visions & anthems next hopefully 

Impeccable taste, the holy trinity of HIFN is Party 4 U, Anthems and Visions with an honorable shoutout to Claws

One of her best songs along with Track 10  5 yeats late but the world is finally catching up to her vision

She needs to drop a new Radio Edit 

living for that performance where she's serving gaga with the black bangs

There is justice in the world

 

THIS IS NOT A DRILL 

 

 

 

 

This feels so RIGHT

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