Bonnie McKee - Hot City (aka Epic Album)

Recommended Posts

How do you guys feel about message in a bottle quality wise? I’m just curious since a lot of the songs in that long list are basically like it, very eh & forgettable when we have other great songs but that’s just my opinion on them. There are only a handful that don’t sound less old / demo like & sound more finalized.

I actually think it sounds rather good? It’s definitely not as rough as Hitman or Mirage, but you can tell it’s a song that they ever got around to finishing. If the majority of the songs on that long list sound like MIAB, I would love to hear them.

I'm glad someone brought this up. First of all I'm so grateful for the leak! Personal taste aside, it's great we have the song now.

As for how I feel about it? Ummm, it sounds a bit grating, Bonnie is screeching her way through the chorus (as she usually does, bless her heart, but it just doesn't work on this song), and something about the instrumentation is just unpleasant... like, it feels very aggressive to my ears and not in a good way. I'm also not feeling the lyrics. Overall, it's a meh song that would flop harder than Thorns if released, though I agree we've had worse leaks--Mirage, while cute melodically, sounds super dated and unpolished... as would Right Now had it been leaked. I was sooo excited for Hitman, but it ended up sounding a MESS. All of the songs she made right after Trouble sound like they're from last century. 

Now, Wild Heart on the other hand, is a lot better. Very anthemic, and I like the synths during the chorus.

Edit: I'm fairly positive Wicked and Kiss Kiss both sound very good.

so @jamesmax asked if i knew the song at 1:40 & since calling all cars slipped away from me after all this time, i went back through & checked. This is the closest i can find to it so i'm just gonna share the snippet of the instrumental part. It sounds like they just added in more for the breaking bonnie version. do you guys think it's the song?

^Just an fyi, since I know there’s at least one person who really wants Calling All Cars to leak: it’s terrible. It’s a very rough, incomplete demo. You can tell Bonnie abandoned it in its very early stages and never looked back. 

It's a cute song. The chorus is very good, the verses may be not it but the chorus is amazing.
