Honestly I feel like this era will do a lot better than Crash commercially wise. I mean I feel like it already is. Just a shame the album won’t be out during the peak of summer. Lil annoying but expected at this point and makes sense I guess.

Crash was kind of confusing but this album seems way more focused. She just seems more confident with this one. And although I slandered Von Dutch, it’s kinda becoming one of her most iconic singles. And I kinda love it now nn. The power of a music video.

Yeah the music video is really good. It's triggering my PTSS and I don't even care, that's how good it is.

The scene of her blowing a kiss and falling off the plane is instantly iconic.

I’m definitely warming up to the song, especially with headphones.

I also think her bringing back b-sides, especially if they happen for each single, is a great way of compromising the label wanting a longer roll out, and satiating fans.

 

[Square]

I imagine she only re-signed with Atlantic under the condition she could do whatever the fuck she wanted nn

Exactly what I was thinking. Wouldn't be surprised if they end up being used as the "deluxe" tracks too, with maybe one or two extra depending on how many pre-singles we get.

I was this week old when I learned Crash was her “sellout” album

 

[burzacott]

She's 16 in the midweeks.

 

[Vasilios]

Amazing??

 

[mindtrappa]

That's significantly higher than "Good Ones" and "Beg For You" managed. Guess the sell out era worked and is translating into this one being even bigger.

Can’t wait for this to be my album of the summer (Southern Hemisphere Version).

Did no one correlate that Aug 2nd is her birthday and Leo season? Intentional and now I’m not so mad at the release date.

 

[devilpray]

I mean, it's already March so in what feels like a week it'll be August so I don't see the issue

 

[Grins]

The long teasing strategy works most of the times. It’s unfortunate for us but it’s the reality.

 

[RMK]

I remember Crash's March date seeming far but there was so much leading up to it. I'm not mad at an August release date, they'll make use of the time.

 

[enjoy]

I think this is easily better than half of Crash.

 

[2014]

It’s kind of hilarious the video for this matches CRASH more than all of the videos for that era actually did.

 

[mindtrappa]

Hm, “Beg For You” aside (which was just awkward), I think all the Crash videos were all pretty fitting for their respective songs? I can’t think of a single song that would fit this concept dd

 

[BuyTheCow]

Some parts of the Von Dutch instrumental make me think of that Blessed Madonna making noises meme and that makes me love it even more.

 

[blissteria]

The song fully has its hooks in me now. Do we know when that b-side is dropping? I can't believe we're actually talking about actual b-sides in 2024, that may be the most exciting part of this whole era for me tbh.

 

[Jersey]

I fucking love EASYFUN. The production is very easily my favorite part of the track. I feel like I’m on a Hot Wheels track about to drive into an abyss.
