Nii.

I really thought this era wasn't for me but she has sucked me back in. What in the Nightride/I Can See The Future...

Are we sure the second album is called Spyder? I'm really hoping that's just the brand of the tractor and it has a more interesting title.

I'm disappointed Ridin isn't there, I really liked that one. Love the cover.

Charli's been loving the blue flame metaphor lately huh

Do we think the reason she chose February 17th as the release date is because it's the Lunar New Year? It seems right up her spiritual alley to do that.

I think she said on instagram that this isn't coming till next month, which is crazy considering how long she's been teasing it. I believe she also teased a feature. Maybe she's gearing up for a big promotional cycle for this one? Hopefully an album comes in summer.

Is this confirmed to come in 2025?

Knowing her timelines it's probably coming in September

Yeah, the production feels so quiet in the studio version. The live version felt so alive and vibrant, but the studio feels muted somehow.

I think this would have hit better if she just dropped it all at once. Hopefully there will be an extended version for this EP too. These songs are giving snippet.

I know she's kind of checked out of music rn and focusing on movies/her personal life but it would be incredibly smart for her to release two more Brat era projects. Maybe late spring dropping a Brat b-sides where she doesn't have to promote anything and can continue with her movie gigs (but still cash in on whatever goes viral with the fans or on social media), then August (or whenever she's done with the era) to close it out with an extensive club remix album. These would pair really well with her shifting focus to movies as she wouldn't need to promote them, but she would still get streams and acclaim without having to actually make new music (as so many additional remixes were teased, and the b-sides can just be demos...) Plus, once it's summertime the "Brat summer 2" marketing tactic could be very handy.

https://store.charlixcx.com/products/brat-and-it-s-completely-different-vinyl She's releasing a "Brat but it's completely different" vinyl only containing the remixes, including Spring breakers feat Kesha. This would have been the perfect opportunity to add a Hello goodbye remix and/or an exclusive bonus track, but alas...

She said on instagram that she's deciding between Alibi and Waterfall as the second single I think. One of them apparently has like alt rock vibes, she was comparing to to My Chemical Romance.

No. It is a somber song with a repetitive structure. While it could fare well on Tiktok where structure doesn't matter. If it was less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds shorter, it could possibly see some commercial success, but I think this song will only be acclaimed by stans and critics. It doesn't seem well aligned for taking over radio nor taking over the clubs, both of which I think are important for Say So/Big Energy type of moments. It's one of my favs from the mixtape though, very pretty.

This song has so much more life in it than any of her pop music has had in years. Like something about the vocals, you can tell that she's really putting her entire foot in it.

I can't say I'm super connecting with this album (Lonely is the Muse is absolutely amazing though), but the concept is amazing.

Botoxxx and VIP were amazing but had to grow on me, I suspect this one will as well. Is she gearing up to release a new album? I need Gorgeous asap.

She should have replaced 24 with this then it would be a perfect skipless album.

I think a collab with Chapell Roan would be absolutely killer. I think Madonna on this song would be a cultural moment that will forever change the clubs during pride month. I think Madonna has reached that point where she's ready to embrace Ga. I think it is nigh time for Ga to collab with one of her 2010s sisters. Likeliest would be Kesha, though I would love if she somehow got Britney, Rihanna, or even Bey again. I don't think Nicki or Katy are very friendly with her. 2020s darlings like The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, and Doja Cat are fair game and I think would sound really good with her. I don't think we'll get anyone more "early career" barring Chapell (which even that feels extremely unlikely), and I can't think of anyone who would even fit. Production-wise, I think the best thing Gaga could do is collab with EASYFUN. I really think a session with EASYFUN (and Bree Runway) would produce an absolutely decadent pop song for Gaga in this day and age. I think either EASYFUN or AG Cook on production for Gaga is a natural next step for her.

I'm a Caroline anti but I would prefer she be on So I rather than anyone else on this tracklist as she was the closest to Sophie aside from AG. It would be beautiful if it was just Charli and AG on the So I remix, sad to see no Hannah Diamond/Cecile Believe/etc. Generally I'm also sad that less of Charli's old collaborators are there. I know she can't endlessly replicate N1A/Pop2/Charli, but it would have been nice to see a few more throwbacks. Though it's very exciting either way. Hoping that Tinashe is on B2b since it really fits her, and Ariana on SIAK will be amazing and hopefully the charts will eat that up. I also hope that a few of the remixes will take the Addison/Troye route where the song really does get remixed rather than just a new verse being added. I think this album is really going to be a moment.

It feels like she hasn't been this invested in music since Artpop honestly... It felt like she kind of just pooped out Joanne and Chromatica but this feels genuinely special again.

Red Ruby and SFG better have (Bonus Track) next to them if she's still putting them on the album...

I really wish this era would have gone something like... Title track/A&W double drop a la MAC/VB, followed by Candy Necklace instead of The Grants. (Maybe dropping The Grants a few days before the album?) Then adding LTLI or Paris, Texas to the popular playlists (and sneaking Peppers onto the Spotify hyperpop playlist to appeal to a niche crowd that probably left Lana behind sometime between LFL and QFTC...)

My predictions for TBA are Gaga x Britney, and Dua x Taylor Swift. Though I would love for Rihanna to get on this too.

I feel like she's nonstop working on music, it feels like Holy **** just came out
