  1. Yes. Music trends continually evolve. Whilst there is always going to be a way to do maximalist pop, this type of production style in 2024 would make Selena a laughing stock. Its okay to feel nostalgic for certain moments from pop culture’s past but it’s not a place you want to linger. It’s always going to be frustrating for Selena that she looks way younger than she actually is. Few people actually respect her as a musician or what she’s got to offer as a result. I’m pretty sure this is what necessitated her left of centre edge, that first came to the foreground to thrive during the “Revival” era. All I will say is, I’d be very surprised if Selena regressed to a sonic style with commonality to either her (or anyone else’s) Disney past.
  2. Not me wanting to believe the vault was somehow ‘real’ and she really did store her masters on vhs cassette (alongside a picture with Britney). I can’t believe Bonnie killed my illusions like that. I’m traumatized by the reveal 🫣
  3. This comes across as how a 19 yo twink thinks a ‘perfect pop’ album should sound tbh.
  4. Sam Smith appears to be the last mystery artist featured on the “Barbie” soundtrack after they registered a song titled “Man I Am (From Barbie The Album)”.
  5. Building the ‘infinity vault’ from the teaser:

  7. Bonnie is on Threads and she’s sharing some exclusive nuggets and observations about her life, that she’s not posting to other platforms. You might want to start following her:
  8. I imagine the biggest complication will be assessing different color vinyl options and measuring how effective those different color combinations look in context of the outer artwork - then deciding on final combinations/ variants prior to manufacture. Once that is decided upon, she is then at the mercy of whenever different vinyl pressing plants can fit the physical manufacture of the album into their overall production schedules. It’s unheard of to not have one global release date nowadays and that requires a lot of communication and co-ordination across different territories (at least the U.S, U.K and Central Europe).
  9. This thread has weird energy.

      One of my favorite parts of this forum is waiting a week or two to look at the status updates and see what music you post. Whether I know it or not, it's always interesting to see what you link next.

      Aw, thank you. 😘 I had no idea anyone even noticed them. 

  11. Not many singers would dare touch Donna, Whitney or Celine (even fewer have the genuine ability to even pull a vocal delivery off - on that scale). It’s a true testament to Claire’s golden vocal chords that she truly has it in her to go there (whilst also making it sound and look like it’s a walk in the park for her to do so). I’ve secretly always preferred the vocal timbre in Claire’s voice (over that of big glory grabbing U.S singers like Christina Aguilera). Whilst I secretly wish it was an album of original bops, I believe there is potential for the album to act as a showcase for Claire’s voice, one that makes the writers behind these songs sit up and take notice. I’m not saying Atomic Kitten’s “Love Doesn’t Have To Hurt” was a bop - but if they had never covered “Eternal Flame” (or rather, if Natasha never had the opportunity to demonstrate her vocal prowess on that track) - then AK would never (subsequently) have been presented with a (then) brand new original cut (written decades later) by the same (now classic) writing team behind both of those tracks. I hope that many (or at least some) of the writers behind the tracks that Claire presents on this album, similarly sit up and take notice. What an optimal foundation that would create for Claire solo album number three (after Steps have had another album era/ tour cycle/ break, in-between of course). Although Claire does not cover Anastasia on this album, it is worth noting that the writer’s behind Celine’s “I Surrender” (link to Claire’s video for this track, above) - are the same writers that wrote “I’m Outta Love” with Anastasia (and several other of her hits). So they are well used to augmenting their writing/ production style around the talents of big-lunged diva vocalists.
