Thank you so much for your message!
And yeah with released songs I think its fine generally if like in Bonnie's case, only 1 or 2 songs are up on streaming and you want to hear them in a full body of work.
For the older artists like Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne, Billie Piper etc I make a Live, Acoustic & B-Sides (Vol. 1, 2, 3) etc album of (like the name suggests) Live, Acoustic, B-Sides (not on streaming), Unreleased, Remixes, Demos, Alternative Versions etc OR if it just a pop star who is not known for lives of unreleaseds then I can normally source enough music to make a Best B-Sides album.
I am very OCD with compiling everything and setting the mood of an album - today I went on a BeBe Rexha spree and downloaded everything I could get my grubby tits on. I have made the first album I am really happy with which is just a standard 14 song pop, bop and ballad affair but I have also grouped together 14 songs without listening to most of them, just based off of song titles and lyrics to make a 'death' concept album - I just hope the songs can fit together in some natural flowing order otherwise my life is over or something.
I will defo check out some YouTube vids as I am literally making about 200 albums right now of different genres old and new and want my own personalised artwork for each one.
P.S sorry for the long posts but I am a hardcore stoner and I get carried away.
P.P.S The elusive song I have been looking for almost 20 years is a studio version of Fall by Michelle Branch if anybody knows a damn thing??
P.P.S I only discovered DBree like two weeks ago and I feel like a woman who has just discovered her Gina G spot for the first time.
