Hardly new, but hidden layers of pop loveliness: Dubstar ”You Were Never In Love”: “I Will Be Your Girlfriend”: “Not So Manic Now”: “ I (Friday Night)”: “Anywhere”: “Love Comes Late”: “Tectonic Plates”: “Token”: “I Can See You Outside”: “Elevator Song”: “Cathedral Park”: “No More Talk”: “Self Same Thing”: -
Selena reveals that she’s back in the studio during TikTok live: “Secrets on secrets on secrets.” What are your hopes for Selena’s next album era? Would you prefer she concentrated on solo tracks or took cues from the unanticipated chart return of her “Calm Down” feature (with Rema) and expanded upon its impact with the development of further features with other artists? If so, who would be your most preferred and No. 1 choice for her to work with Ariana, Miley or Taylor? Alternatively, now that she’s in her 30’s, would it be cooler for her to concentrate on maximising her appeal/ impact within the adult contemporary market with a left of centre move by reaching out to artists like Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris or even alt. artists like Angel Olsen or Ethel Cain?

Alison’s two performances from last nights “Later… With Jools Holland”: ”So Hard So Hot” “The Love Invention” Plus a short Interview.. What I wouldn’t give for that jacket..

There is traction on the music front:

Yours is though.

You are missing the point completely. Stylists get paid a lot of money for a reason! Product Place Price Promotion Don’t ever try and get a job in marketing 😂

Haven't you got something to watch on Fox News? I think my past defense of Mutya Buena speaks for itself. Marketing has zero to do with sexual attraction. Pop music is a business and my comment was on clothes styling and visual marketing in context of maximising demographic appeal (and most styling in the music industry is curated and assembled by gay guys for a reason). When styling is left to straight people, this is what happens:

I absolutely love Bonnie’s look, however having lived through painful situations where talented females have missed the mark with their look (with damaging long term consequences to their careers as a result) - and in order to prevent this being a weakness for Bonnie, with the specific intention of getting straight females on-side, I feel Bonnie needs to adopt a softer, more flowery, ‘hippie’ style look (possibly ‘boho chic’, 70’s inspired) with less emphasis on flesh flashing. Also, vintage ‘T’ Shirts with logo, fluffy pastel colored cardigans paired with denims, heels and a little understated ‘bling’ are fine! There is nothing inclined to alienate straight females more (and therefore a complete demographic), than flesh exposure! The angle I believe Bonnie needs to adopt is that of being a “woman’s woman” and not a “man’s woman”. (The ‘She-Ra’ superhero look for the video is totally fine, would totally work for P.A’s in gay clubs and is clearly ‘show’ clothes). External of that video persona (and image wise generally), being a “man’s woman” in music, never ends well!

I just want you to know as a fellow bonbon, that I really appreciate the level of thought, scope and considered insight you are giving this. Additionally, I would like to give everyone a very timely reminder that we are the audience for these platforms! if we have any kind of issue with the tone or angle of the launch and subsequent album roll-out, we absolutely have the means at our disposal in 2023 to make it very clear to any media platforms in real-time, that we will boycott them in future unless they sharply adjust their angle/ tone and instead adopt one of positivity. It’s worth pointing out that sometimes online articles get re-written and framed more positively, prior to physical publication if initial online feedback regarding a journalists writing is deemed to be sloppy, overtly negative or prejudicial.

I have a funny feeling the beyhive might not share the same sentiment 😬

I think their friendship remains current and is pretty solid. Though have not heard any indication it’s an older track. It’s a shame you are not enjoying the album, I personally have found lots to love on there.

I can relate at this point to now being majorly over the Antonoff ‘acoustic’ sound, that came to coalesce in that sonic space when the tide turned and the magic of lavish, multi layered, plugged in productions went out of vogue. Going by the comments section on Twitter etc, made in reaction to the news that Bonnie is finally releasing, I really do get a sense that others might also now be ready for the pendulum to swing in the other direction. Who knows, maybe Bonnie could even be the one to fill that need and spearhead a trend for the return of lavish, more electro based productions (particularly those who in the end, will inevitably tire of ‘Padam’) and want something to fill that space. Twinks and clubbers need something to dance to, ‘SLAY’ just about fills that need, in stark contrast let’s face it - Lana’s tepid moves (for example) into dance, are never going to seriously cut it with those demographics. If only there was an organic way to influence Spotify and get them to place new Bonnie releases in uptempo/ electro based playlists. Gays are never gonna not want to support a glitter diva, with a colorful past who we can relate to and genuinely needs our support (like no other current pop girl does) on such a visceral level. Hopefully Bonnie has some P.A’s lined up with the gay clubs around LA and that will also add to momentum on a practical level.

TBH, anything that gets Bonnie any kind of positive exposure, whether that be on social media or spreading the word amongst your friendship group irl. It is not necessarily a bad angle for Bonnie if a journalist draws people’s attention to the fact a certain other person’s hits/ tunes dried up when Bonnie decided to stop working with that other person. It could be spun as.. “Do you want more of that good stuff? Well, here finally is the source.. this time, with her own voice attached to the end product”. The other individual’s bank account is never not going to be healthy, on account of a TV career. Besides, we absolutely know and do not blame another artist for the situation Bonnie found herself in. However, the shit that other artist’s manager pulled behind the scenes cannot and should not be forgiven. I absolutely would not be suggesting we resort to being this real, if we had the luxury of another, equally sharp angle to pull from. It’s not about politics, it’s about nurturing a rich pool of melody and talent, helping her find her own voice and reach her full potential, one that we all believe in.

Anyway placing focus on what’s important, Bonnie has finally found a way to out-manoeuvre the white, straight male patriarchy of Brandon Cobb and Scott Seviour and as good Gays, this is a day to rejoice. Remember to pre-save the single, light a candle, pray to Jesus, cast a spell that Bonnie is now finally at the very edge of becoming the big pop girl that we all know she has the potential to be, have each individually dreamt of her being and ultimately know is in her destiny to become: https://vyd.co/BonnieMckeeSlay

To be fair, these posts have been up for different time periods. There is also (always) a discrepancy in view count between ‘story’ type posts and those published as main profile posts. As one of Bonnie’s main fans on here, you could have made more of an effort to express a positive take at this very delicate moment in time for both Bonnie and her career. Life has two kinds of people, drains and radiators. We should all be making a concerted effort to work together on social media to be the latter (not the former), situational optics are everything!

I hope she finally gets justice over the people behind the scenes who essentially blackballed her 10 years ago for not playing their game the way they wanted!

OMG, Pre-Save Link Is Up Now!

Dua has won her “Levitating” copyright case. The judge ruled that the reggae band suing her, Artikal Sound System, failed to prove that Dua and the creators of the song had access to their track “Live Your Life”, prompting them to drop the lawsuit.

New video for Alison’s song “In Electric Blue”:

I appreciate you have a valid point of view. Though I happen to know a thing or two about sequencing music to a professional and commercial standard. Having now listened to that complete 16 track sequence from start to finish (without preconception), it does not scan as the random/ jumbled collection of songs that it first appears to the naked eye.

Hmm, on the original Epic timeline this album would have fallen in the aftermath of Meghan Trainor, bringing back that old-school Doo-Wop sound on “All About That Bass” (for the first time since the 1950’s). It seems clear Bonnie was inspired by that track (plus it works in sequence). Sometimes I get the vibe she reads this thread, has seen our comments and this is her way of communicating the original Epic sequence to us. So, because I genuinely like you as a person - it makes it extra hard for me to admit that on this occasion, I unfortunately find myself in disagreement with you regarding how I perceive these tracks.
