Bonnie McKee - Hot City (aka Epic Album)

[napoleon]

I couldn't watch her Instagram live, because it was way too late at night for me. Did she provide any new information about the album?

Also, did you guys notice Hot City was released under the Snafu Records label, instead of "Bonnie McKee Music" like her previous solo singles?

Preview of “Hot City” Video:

Full video coming later tonight.

Yeah I noticed that as well. I wonder if she ultimately got signed or if it's just a distribution deal

My guess is distribution; she's not even listed on the Snafu website (that I can see).

I’m assuming she’s talking about songs like WUD and HMU which were recorded by other artists. AG she wasn’t able to re-record either. We know she was able to do Forever 21 because one of the VHS tapes in her vault was labeled that.

SGGH she can't re-record either

just distribution, idt she can distribute an album independently

She confirmed hot city vinyl & limited bombastic vinyl. I skipped through it but thankfully I didn’t miss that. The whole live was just cringy with the sound effects so I got annoyed & stopped watching after I heard that bit.

she sounds very good. the ad libs in the last chorus are amazing.

It's interesting that she's not on their artist spotlight, so I wonder if this is a limited deal or they just haven't had time to update their catalogue yet. Either way, Bonnie did mention she would love to create an imprint label down the road and I think that would be such a good move for her!

I don't love Hot City tbh. I didn't love the SLAY leak either at first but it grew on me with the official release, but this time around my initial instinct was the same as when the single finally released. I just find the lyrics kinda cheesy and the melody sort of reductive. With that said I do think it could make a good album opener, I just don't think it should ever have been a single

does anyone else think Hot City sounds like the Shrek 2 soundtrack? in the best way.

I low-key kinda agree. I loved SLAY since I initially heard it a few years ago and when it was released, but Hot City, to me, has always felt like it was missing something?! It's not at all a bad track, just idk. Needs a lil something to amp it up.

I felt this way about the Hot City demo, but the final version fixes basically all the complaints I had about it. It’s a bop and a half and a proper glow up. 
 

Now Slay? That one was completely butchered. I was worried about how the rest of the songs would sound but it seems like she course corrected with Hot City, thankfully.
