Selena Gomez - I Said I Love You First

[minorkey]

So what's this album's "It's hard getting older burning toast in my toaster" "metaphorical gin and juice"?

I feel like she thought she was going to have a moment with ‘We're not gettin' any younger but your girlfriends seem to’ line… except Taylor already did this much better in All Too Well.

The toast is Benny

 

[Dangerous Maknae]

Just like Rare, there are genuinely good tracks here that could have been great in other people's hands. Also, the references to Lana, Charli, Kali Uchis etc are too literal. That being said, I can enjoy the first half of the album on days that I take things easy.

Ff I think I kinda love Sunset Blvd. are parts stupid? Yes. Are parts cringe-worthy? Sure. Is it an earworm? Definitely. Is the chorus and sentiment actually quite nice? I think they might be!

At a time when people are fainting at Sabrina Carpenter’s presentation of her sexuality, maybe we need more slightly silly sex songs.

But they also need to be good!

Ok but the desire to be seen naked in public with your partner just going at it? And presenting that as both sort of swooningly lovely and inherently silly at the same time? She’s tapped into something in my gay lizard brain.

It does also help that the song seems to last about 30 seconds.

Stained really is such a haunting song. Give us slow songs like that Selena!

 

[boom bazooka joe]

Sunset Blvd is diabolical.

So... is she releasing more from the Stained / Fetish / Bad Liar era? Or is this the one song that they're just tagging as a bonus track to this album?

Stained is really nice, very reminiscent of Fetish and Good For You.

I don’t think it’s impossible we get more but I think Stained was the only song actually spoken about by Benny/Selena.

Today they did a digital download with ‘narration’ rather than a song.

Apparently “Don’t Take It Personally” was a real conversation, and someone had said that to Selena. Wild

Dd is this why Justin was spiraling on Instagram the other day?

 

[Sanctuary]

Even Selena Gomez Charts is joining in on the lashings.

In what way?

 

[HEARTCORE]

Talk is out via her store. By far one of the more interesting songs of this 'era', although the lack of chorus is odd.

 

[bad karma]

I understand the logic behind these digital releases and I’m sure these tracks will end up on streaming anyway but using this one in an ad and promoting it prior to the albums release to have it be released this way is a choice!

 

[Robbietoxic]

Surprisingly she's currently at number 4 in the midweeks in the UK. I actually thought it'd struggle more with the awful couple marketing but that's doing much better than I anticipated so far.

 

[RMK]

Yeah the album would've faired much better had it just been her billed. Certain songs are increasing in streams daily, and I think it comes down to people initially not wanting to click play on a "couple" album and discovering it's a pretty standard solo affair.
