Wow, this is such amazing and unexpected news!

 

Is that her on the album cover?

 

HER SONGS FOR YOU IS COMING!!!

 

Not a fan of the cover but I'm thrilled she's getting an album out on her own terms.

 

Really hope Fantastic finds its way out there at some point, but I've loved everything we've heard so far so consider me perched!

 

It leaked last month with Born Again and Don't Judge Me.

 

Guys, I don't thin I'm eloquent enough to explain how incredible last night was. She is such a star. She has such a stage presence. The stories behind the music were so eye opening. Still in absolute awe...

Scream. Is this the for the gays remix?

 

No Please Don’t Touch? How disgraceful.

 

If she toured multiple times a year I would see her every time. Really hope she announces a more substantial UK tour soon.

She’s really one of those artists that never misses for me and I’ve only realised that in the last year. I always loved Second and Side Tape, but Euphoric Sad Songs crept up on me throughout 2021, and is still revealing itself, several years on. To me I have absolutely no problem putting her songwriting skills on the same level as Mariah, she’s a true once in a generation talent, and I’m so glad she’s getting to make music on her own terms because it’s the best she’s ever made.

 

Ah, I was so elated for her when this popped up on Apple Music this morning. She deserves this, and there's no doubt it's going to be incredible.

 

Escapism is like mind-blowingly good.

 

I love the artwork. It's very striking, there's something very late 00s/early 10s *ahem* quirky pop girl about it.

 

I thought the exact same, then I realized it's giving Jay's Blueprint 3 cover nn. I assume it's an intentional reference

 

It made sense in the setting. She literally said ‘I hate Tequila’ dd
She was just going through chapters in her career - highs and lows. It was fascinating.
A lot of them were a verse and a chorus only.

 

Okay sing Bed then
