I must confess that I'm way too attached to that leaked folder called EPIC LOVE. For me, that's precisely how Bonnie intended it to be, the tracklist order matches perfectly to an official release.
I get so confused when I see people making a different tracklist order, putting SLAY in the middle instead of the opening track. You guys, "Welcome to the part of the show....." that's an album opening line. There's the obvious transition between Forever 21 and Hot City.
SLAY, F21, HC, HMU, those are the REAL first tracks in the album, it's written in the stars, c'mon.
I like to think that this EPIC LOVE folder was leaked by Bonnie herself, to give us a real glance at what it could have been. Am I delusional? Is bonnie between us in this forum?
I've listened recently to some different versions of IWFCU, Electric Heaven and others, and they don't sound IMPROVED to me. They sound like experiments. I don't like the "oooooh"s on the IWFCU chorus. SO I'M REALLY AFRAID OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT ALL TRACKS WILL SOUND DIFFERENT AND TWEAKED AND "UPDATED".
Speaking for myself, I want the OG real 2010s bop revival, exactly like the EPIC LOVE folder but with super ultra high bitrate. I don't want things that sound like 2022. 2022 is crap. How you guys feel about that?
And just one more thing. Would Bonnie REALLY play with us with these tiktoks saying it's coming our way if it wasn't?
