Chemical X.

I’ve been saying this since 2020. I thought she was gonna snatch veep from Kamala despite the campaign promises.

It’s surreal and doesn’t feel real yet.

how random.

Whenever Tems puts out an album, I think Rih will be on it. For the BP songs I think the end credits one will be solo but I could see the other being a collab. I feel like the entire BP album was collabs last time.

Cute & Cruel is a gospel hymn. Y’all wouldn’t get it.

not even. I’m pretty sure he re-did one of the verses originally written by Jeremih. you can hear the difference between the original demo and the final.

ATRL was broken as hell so I couldn’t post when the BP news dropped. Very excited about all of this. I knew she would go all out with the era whenever she decided to come back. No point in returning to music unless you’re going to do it big. I would be happy with the soundtrack songs and maybe some other feats (I am still being delusional and convinced she did a song with Kelela) before the SB. I’m not expecting new Rih music fr until afterwards anyway. Hope we get a bop (hello, The Dream) and something really moving for the closing credits song. That would be nice after the long drought. Ultimately I just hope the songs are great. finally, I can’t believe the same people who tried to convince us she would never release music or tour again are now trying to convince us this is a Farwell era. please give it up. If someone like Sade isn’t officially retired, Rih is not going to retire. She can take long breaks if she chooses to but that’s not the same thing lol.

I could see the US getting arena residencies and everywhere else getting stadiums honestly.

the article is implying she’s gonna do a mini touring residency like Harry did. so it’s not like a traditional tour with tons of traveling, she’ll be settled in these cities for a decent amount of time. think 5-15 shows per city also implies she might be the debut artist at a new state of the art arena in LA.

He was such a recognizable figure on ATRL. May he RIP.

some of these song ideas are just delusional I fear

we need everyone to come out our rihtirement fr

sister we really made it out the trenches.

girlies this is the second time this year she has fully gagged me. like I cannot believe this **** omg my first thought is that Sean Paul is the only acceptable guest. I don’t want to see anybody else fff my second thought is that all of our old SB playlists need to be revised. back in the old base we used to discuss it all the time but I never thought the day would come

I think happiest girl is my favorite. shocking bc I usually hate their ballads. nothing will ever top Square Up for me and I’ve accepted that. still some nice moments here.

I was gonna say hard to love is an instant BP classic, but instead it’s an instant Rosé classic

song of the year.

I’m shocked people found a way to complain about this. It’s crazy that Tee is getting airplay in the first place. Expectations really need to be adjusted

who sends damage control to atrl lmao. does that really make sense to you? I think people def report info from their perspective/the perspective of their source but at the end of the day nothing can convince me there’s some grand conspiracy. I’m always someone who tends to believe a problem is multi-faceted, but Mani herself has even mentioned delaying things to seek perfection, and if that’s even a little bit true, it’s always been confusing to me.

also don’t understand the idea that there’s some grand conspiracy by atrl insiders to place the blame at Normani’s feet. that’s silly.

I’m ngl I will never understand how she has enough power to do this lmao. Her label is extremely nice to a fault. I’ve never seen anything like it.

real music.

with monkeypox going UP everywhere, I knew I had to return to ATRL the Covid thread helped me for years. I know y’all will be helpful with this too.

inevitable #1 smash
