Not Hot City related buuuut, why was Modern Girl never released? I remember watching Insatiable and it being played there, wondering why it was not on Streaming. Lowkey would love it for a Deluxe / Side B, since it fits the whole Hot City Vibe.

I fear Bonnie can’t release this either, because Netflix owns the rights to it.

Y’all my lil Bonnie video hit 150 views 🥺👉👈 I know that’s not crazy or anything but I’ve never done anything like that so I’m really proud lol

Can you make weekly recaps of the Music Trading Thread? I never check that thread, but I would totally tune into a witty and sarcastic weekly recap of the messy drama that comes from that thread.

Do you guys hear any differences between the Hot City version of Sleepwalker and the one she released in 2018? Someone on ATRL said there’s some differences in the mastering but I can’t hear anything.

Yeah, the version on the album is closer to the OG mix from the video/soundcloud. The mix from 2018 is a bit different, a detail that I can remember from the top of my head rn is the "ah ah" right before the second verse, it's kinda mute on the album/og version, but it's super clear on the 2018 single version.

Which one do you think is better? I’m not really a fan of Sleepwalker in general, do you think I’d prefer the 2018 version more?

As far as I can remember, the biggest difference is that the 2018 release has boosted bass… it was a trend in mixing at the time

Btw, I still haven't fully processed that we FINALLY have this album!!!! This is so iconic. I will forever (21) be in love with this project. Both for the music, which is iconic, and also for the fact that this album represents resilience and not giving up. It's been a difficult story, but with a really nice and happy ending!

Also, now this thread should be renamed something like "Bonnie McKee - Megathread" or something like that, so we can use it to talk about everything Bonnie related

I personally like the 2018 mix better, as Lucas mentioned the bass is a bit heavier on the mix.

BTW I better not see ANYBODY doom posting when the darker album era comes around! I hope everybody has learned their lesson. And no, Bonnie did not gaslight anybody, nor did she make faulty "promises," she said it would come and it did.
