it's really quite difficult to give descriptions of each song when there's so much stimulation going on (audio, visual, people around screaming / cheering). volume wasn't super high in the theatre either compared to headphones for a first time listen. basically what you're getting from all of us who attended is as good as it's going to get until the album drops. more specific question, perhaps, could be helpful - i know i personally cannot give any lyric examples after one listen if that's desired. basically just vibes.

just got home from toronto. HM. what's there to say? this is, without a doubt, the biggest left turn charli has done since vroom vroom. her humor and wit are cranked up 10x, as well as her introspection and vulnerability. i imagine this record will be her most divisive (it is not digestible on one listen alone), and whilst i don't think this is a means to get rid of those who hopped on the brat train…there's no question this is absolutely a response to the past two+ years of her career that needed to happen. very stream of conscious, very impulsive and at times i felt hollow (complimentary). it's quite ambitious for a "pop star" imo and it can be quite jarring. there really wasn't any other record she could have made after brat. it was always going to be something like this. of the new songs, i dug 2007, i'm afraid (💔), persona, magic metal montana, and no one lasts forever the most (which seems to be the consensus). i don't feel any personal connection at this time to the new music (magic metal montana being the exception), especially after living in the depths of brat for such a long time. maybe that will change when i get to listen to the album over and over, but it's sort of a relief to just enjoy this for what it is instead of "be" it. the film was really cool. there wasn't much here in terms of narration but there kind of was at the same time? i'm going to miss the brief interstitial lead ins to each song on the album when it's released. a real privilege to get a very tiny glimpse behind the curtain of someone's creative process. ultimately, charli continues to operate in a lane of her own. not in her little niche universe, but on this global stage where she's playing with the bigger acts now. and yet, she hasn't compromised her artistic integrity. she really is a generational artist and her creative instincts are what has made her exciting, continues to make her exciting, and will always make her exciting. at least for me.

me as well for toronto just after 2 PM!

we won't - this is mashed up with rock n roll by daft punk.

iconic tbh

feel like it'll be left in the dust, maybe the category for movies. forget the exact name of it.

far too premature to have this convo, but recording packaging or whatever seems likely.

and yet you're the first reply!

i'm quite impressed by this album. have been a fan since the early days and this feels like her most realized project to date. i can understand a label like Republic's reservations on not releasing this (i.e, they have zero idea how to back something like this). i think with a different label, things would have been different but here we are anyway.

looks like. saw on twitter someone teasing the next single for 6/4. if not, maybe with the next one.

lots of you need to familiar yourselves with satire esp through the lens of charli's artistry !

this was always going to bomb. it's in her best interest to just drop it at this point so she can get to touring the rest of the year while moving onto the next project in a fairly quick manner (hopefully before the year is up or early next). her focus should be getting her career back on track to the best of her ability now that she's independent.

rrrrrrAaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwkkkkkkkkkkk

seems like the label is coming after any mentions of the single's artwork and alleged release date, be careful y'all lol

fantastic point that i never considered. i suppose this is officially her new process. i guess we can expect random spurts and releases from here on out!
