I don't think we'll be getting more leaks, seems like the energy has died down for some reason.

Regardless, I did some snooping and found the credits to some of the unleaked songs from the long list:
 

Dose

(Patrick "PJ" Bianco, Shanna Crooks & Bonnie McKee)

Guilty Pleasure

(Josh Abraham, Oliver Goldstein & Bonnie McKee)

Hit and Run

(Patrick "PJ" Bianco & Bonnie McKee)

I Am a Woman

(Blair Daly, Meghan Kabir & Bonnie McKee)

I Like It Hot

(Rune Westberg & Bonnie McKee)

On Your Side

(Michele McCord & Bonnie McKee)

Kiss of Death

(Khalil Abdul-Rahman, Sam Barsh, Paloma Faith & Bonnie McKee)

Laserbeam

(Martin Harrington & Bonnie McKee)

Looking Glass

(Dapo Torimiro & Bonnie McKee)

 

If I were to spend money on songs solely based on the writers alone, I'd go for Guilty Pleasure and then either Dose and/or Hit and Run.

Kiss of Death and Laserbeam are great titles, but so were Mirage and Trash Television whose sound didn't quite live up to the imagery they conjure.

I'd say Guilty Pleasure is also from the Epic sessions :ohwell: so it most likely will be a good one! And wait wait WAIT A PALOMA FAITH CO-WRITE? That one must be either a gem or pure trash. I love Paloma but some of her pure pop songs are just not it, particularly from The Architect. I wonder when the hell did they write that song.

Ew no, that one is bad y'all. I'm so glad it didn't make it to Crash, not even in the deluxe :cackle: 

Haha, do you have it?

Nope, but the snippets are enough for me not to like it :cry: but hopefully it will leak for those who really want it though

It’s still such a shock that there’s only 3 songs left on the whiteboard we haven’t heard. Whoever would’ve guess at the beginning of 2021 we’d get the complete Epic album in just a few months?

And it's such a blessing! Even without Forever 21, you can take 12-14 songs from the bunch, arrange them how you like them best and call it an album! What a time to be alive tbh :yaskween:

Epic unleaked songs

Forever 21, Right now (dr Luke / cirkut), The hunger, Lipstick revolution, Wild card, Show me your love, Turn me up

any missing?

Worst In Me and Love Spell reworks. I wonder if they were ever finished. If I'm not mistaken, WIM reworked was previewed in Breaking Bonnie.

Though I’d still appreciate them professionally mastered and in lossless quality

A quick reminder that we need "Show Me Your Love" to leak.

Yeah, it'd be nice to have it for the sake of completion though we're not missing out on much if what people say is true.

I never ever would've thought we would reach this point. I was hoping for S.L.A.Y., IWFCY, and Everything But You to leak in full, but we literally got the majority of the sessions including songs she gave away to other artists and then some. SHOOK.

Unleaked Epic tracks:

  1. Forever 21
  2. I Wanna Fucking Call You (Final)
  3. Lipstick Revolution (was this one really meant for the album?)
  4. Love Spell (2014 Version)
  5. Right Now (Dr. Luke/Cirkut)
  6. Show Me Your Love
  7. S.L.AY. (Final)
  8. The Hunger
  9. Turn Me Up
  10. Wild Card
  11. Worst in Me (2014 Version)

  • Battle Royale

I’m extremely curious on how this one sounds like :cry: especially since Bonnie told she usually writes songs based on movies she watches and I guess that one is inspired by Battle Royale (2000) :cry:
