The other day, G.R.L.'s "Vacation" came on, and it reignited the thought process that there's a version with Bonnie's vocals floating around somewhere, unheard by the masses. :yeah:

I don't really like Hot City as an album title. She could have chosen so many better names for the hype these songs have. If related to Hot City she could have called it Rebel in the Dark. SLAY would have been a good album title. or a play on tht would be Technicolor which woulda been great for the merch and different coloured variations. but a better name for the album would have been something like EPIC to be sassy with the title linking it to the past. even a Vault related title would have been alright. like From The Vault.
