rewind your heart is literally edited 

What do you literally mean by literally edited?

[Ice Prince]

Edited or not, Rewind Your Heart sounded pretty decent. Not like I Wanna Fucking Call You which vocals sound weirdly mixed, or Electric Heaven which is a very evident rough mix. Hope this doesn't sound petty but the remaster I did of EH makes up for it, so whether a final mix leaks or not, I'll be using that in the meanwhile - and is the one I put in the CD btw  

Same with S.L.A.Y. tbh, it sounds pretty well even in demo form.

Your Electric Heaven remaster is 1000000x's better than the original leaked file. 

Though I am very curious as to what the new version sounds like. Bonnie said it got a "makeover".

Thank you bestie! Yeah, she made it sound as if she has a new instrumental or something... I'm actually curious about how it sounds! Still hoping she releases, but if not... leakers do your magic

The bass is cut and so are any possible bgv that were in the final mix. It was also re-exported in audacity. (LAME encoders, which are awful)

Fully believe whoever had IWFCY/the stems ruined the mix purposefully. They removed all the melodies (the oooh's) and everything sounds weak, like somebody added some horrible reverb. They also messed up the vocal stems. (Put the phone away) plays over (So take my phone away.) I would settle for even an official producer export, cause no self-respecting producer would export their files like this.

WE STILL NEED THE COLETTE CARR / BONNIE MCKEE CO-WRITE TO LEAK

[Aftershock088]

I thought there was a re-worked Epic version of ‘Love Spell’ too? I’m very curious to hear the remastered ‘Worst In Me’, I love that song but I can imagine it having that extra magic touch if there is a more polished version. 

Also I’m guessing the DGMGF with Kendrick Lamar is just someone’s edit? I can’t imagine it being intended as the official track 🤭

Worst In Me was actually reworked for the Epic album (same as Stars In Your Heart, Mirage, Hitman etc.) but with Love Spell, if I recall correctly, she only said she 'wanted' to include it in the album but didn't know if the label would allow her to, so that could imply that the reworking of Love Spell is uncertain. If there is one, it remains unleaked.

Which DGMGF with Kendrick? I'm pretty sure if that's out there must be an edit. Don't think they have ever collaborated at all lol.

Nothing petty about stating facts!!! If someone told me your Electric Heaven was the original upload, and the one of messy quality a ruined reupload I'd have believed it. You really did a digital CPR on that one.

The FINAL sexy 7....who can help end this eternal yearning?

We have tried to survive through covid and lockdowns, monkeypox, political unrest, mass shootings, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Rachel Stevens 'Come and Get It' album being unavailable on Spotify, cost of living crisis, the war in Ukraine, Neighbours ending, the abortion ruling and for some people, in some parts of the world who had to find out the hard way what a Jedward is....Have we not suffered enough??

 

Iconic post!!! And exactly, haven't Bon Bons suffered enough? The world's gone thru a literal apocalypse yet we're still here asking for scraps

OMG I'M SHOOK. I actually thought Rewind Your Heart was one of the most polished tracks of the bunch along with Everything But You (Final). Didn't know someone messed around with it so bad.

The awful reverb applied to the vocals was among the first botched things I noticed (the lead vocals are also too loud imo). Initially, I just assumed it's because it's unfinished and possibly a rough demo so I let it slide because I was so thirsty for the studio version in any way, shape, or form. Now I realize we've all accepted a homophobic crime of a mix.

Do you think the reworked/updated/reproduced/rerecorded versions of Mirage and Hitman actually exist?
