Bonnie McKee - Hot City (aka Epic Album)

[gordonna]

Oh my GOD, the extended version of DGMGF is UNREALLLLLLL 😱

[Peter Parker]

what the fuck with show you mine, who gave her permission to do such pop perfection!!!!

[BonBonMckee]

Rewind your heart is so freaking fabulous, thank you Bonnie for this gift to the world!!!

[Dangerous Edits]

can’t believe after all these years it’s finally here. and it’s glorious from start to finish! 

[gordonna]

It's... incredible. I'm speechless

[izzzyyy]

On the bright side, literally everything is incredible and I'm so happy I could cry because I finally heard all of them.

However, I Wanna Call You sounds like a karaoke instrumental, and it's botched to high hell. It's not demo-itis either, it's completely different.

It’s like Kidz Bop, how did he SMASH Jenny’s production & then do what he did to Call You & Rewind + (I’m assuming) the mastering of the entire record?

I WANNA FUCKING CALL YOU IS SO GOOD OMG

[thetaco]

I can’t stop replaying Jenny’s Got a Boyfriend and title track. Maybe I’m basic but these are perfect up tempo pure bops. I need to get acquainted over time with the other tracks

Also, do y'all have a companion EP/tracklist separate from the album? 👀I'm keeping the album itself as-is so I can enjoy it as its own project.

 This is mine, I think it flows pretty well. If Right Now ever leaks, it'll go after Waking Up Diagonal. And Outlaw and Mirage just BELONG together on the same record, they are like spiritually related to me. The yin and yang of pop songs with a Western pastiche. I hope if she ever rerecords them that they come as a package.

This is cute af

Once i get my hot city files im gonna reorganise into this and sessions

Ok now hear me out: I know hot city has only just dropped but I feel as if this album will one day be looked up to as one of the biggest pop music phenomenons.

Ik it sounds like a reach but name another artist other than Bonnie who fought her arse off to release an album scrapped ages ago. I don't know many. But Bonnie needs a medal of honour for this bc she battled to release her art. That's insane dedication and it proves how meaningful the music is to her.

It took her 20 years to release a sophmore record. She didn't give up. That's something to admire. Anyways stream Hot City! Big day for gays.

The way we all knew about Show You Mine (formerly known as Show Me Your Love) but we all just kinda wrote it off and there was never demand for it to leak or be released by Bonnie officially, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the album 

I'm glad there was this nice surprise at least, because the rest of the bops we all had listened to in full before. I envy the gays who will experience Everything But You, Forever 21, Rewind Your Heart and Electric Heaven for the first time on Spotify today.

If released with major label investment behind it, and at the right time, this could have been one of those pop albums that put out several big hit singles, like Teenage Dream, Future Nostalgia, Love Angel Music Baby, The Dutchess, Rhythm Nation, Forever Your Girl, etc. We were robbed of an iconic era. I can imagine how Bonnie felt when the project was shelved.

Going from Sleepwalker to Just a Kiss be like:

We need to all make Hot City memes

I spent most of today just listening to the Album on loud speakers, in the car, through headphones and wow.. This really is a Pop Bible. I can't believe we have a full Bonnie Project on our hands now. I really hope those who don't know of Bonnie yet and love Pop Music will wake up and give this masterpiece a chance. What a beautiful blend of Pop Music with its various sub-genres and always a catchy hook. Amazing.
