Bonnie McKee - Hot City (aka Epic Album)

[Cypher]

Is it just me or would Forever 21 be like a perfect album closer or at least concert closer. It's such that "big final anthem" type.

I remember placing Forever 21 at the very end of my album when I didn't have the studio version, but when it leaked my commercial self was like 'put this anthem at number 3 cause it's a classic'  but I totally agree!

Forever 21 is the closer on my version of the album!

Awww you're mad that a track that you STOLE from an artist and you've been selling for profit has leaked?! 

Poor you! 

Anyway, Forever 21 a BOP!!!!

Hopefully Bonnie actually comes through and releases this project. And if not, at least we can all finally breathe easy knowing we have the last piece of the puzzle we've been waiting for.

This is so SURREAL who thought we'd ever get to experience the full studio deliciousness of Forever twenty fvcking one!! 

What a glorious day to be a BonBon 🍬 I feel the years of pure torture and pain dissipating as I overplay this legendary classic and pop music masterpiece....

Feel free to continue mixing and throwing parties until the 2100s Ms. McQuiche (and troll us with some Evil McQueef LVCRFT bops in the meantime).

The cherry on top would be if Electric Heaven (2022 Version) leaks as well, but that's just my OCD speaking because we only have the rough version of EH and I can't possibly put that one along with the other somewhat finished sounding tracks. Regardless, I'm totally fed right now.mp3

Will I still purchase the album IF she ever releases it? Yes. Multiple copies (digital, physical), a vinyl, possibly a forever 21/slay jockstrap if she makes one. This album is an absolute gem and everything an early 2010s gay could ask for. It quite possibly even surpasses Teenage Dream in my book--because Bonnie's Epic album has no dull moments and zero filler. It's all bop overdose.

not me coming home to forever 21 leaking 💀💀💀💀

well i guess that leaves right now

[Bambi101]

The sheer genius of the end of Forever 21 fading into Hot City, this transition alone deserves a Grammy 

As for Sleepwalker being on the album, I can def see that!! Yeah, I think had Floppic allowed the release back in 2014 they'd most likely whore Sleepwalker out as a bonus track (Target/International/Japan/Taiwan...) along with Stars in Your Heart. Given all the time that's passed since then and given how we all tend to tie Sleepwalker to the Epic era, it'd make zero sense for Bonnie to leave it out. I wonder if she decided to get rid of Jenny since JGAB wasn't on any of the VHS tapes (but then.... she also didn't have a VHS tape for Wild Card which I'm sure she's including).

Dddd I miserably failed at printing my CD today 'cause after it was pointed out that Forever 21 was the perfect closer it was bugging me all day  I think I finally came up with a better tracklist for it, although as @Bambi101 said, Forever 21 flows perfectly into Hot City. I had it that way in my tracklist and it was so good! But I think I'll let that go. So here is what I will be probably using from now on:

1. American Girl
2. S.L.A.Y.
3. Hot City
4. I Wanna Fucking Call You
5. Jenny's Got a Boyfriend
6. Electric Heaven
7. Somebody's Gonna Get Hurt
8. Everything But You
9. Unlock Your Love
10. Rewind Your Heart
11. Stars In Your Heart
12. Forever 21
13. Hit Me Up CD / "regional" bonus track
14. Waking Up Diagonal CD / "regional" bonus track

If something else leaks, even if it's Wild Card or Right Now, I'll put it on a b-sides EP I guess, along with all the other songs I didn't include  

Spoiler

Making a convincing tracklist was a nightmare all along. I didn't want to let several songs out but I didn't want it to be a ridiculously long album so I'm going to clown myself and say that Bonnie hasn't put this shit out because she can't come up with a great tracklist

Can somebody post a zip of the full album? I wanna get them all in one slot finally. @Ice Prince I'd love yours, seems like a good tracklisting!

Tbh, Hot City is way better than both of them, it’s punchier and it provides a more direct 80s-vibe.

If she was with a big team, and this was scheduled as a summer releases, I’d plan Hot City as the lead, followed by I Wanna Fucking Call You for the summer and Rewind Your Heart for the fall/winter.

S.L.A.Y is definitely nice but it doesn’t stand out as much as the other tracks imo.

Anyway, I just need her to release the whole thing so that we can properly support the project. 

Rewind Your Heart would be a perfect winter single.
