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.

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

Thank you so much bestie, I'm glad you liked it  

I don't know whether Mirage and Hitman were reworked, but considering we got the older versions, I'd say if those exist, they could be out of circulation. Hope we get them anyways, 'cause Mirage had potential but the version we got is pretty dull, and Hitman is an unpolished bop that definitely needs its moment!

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.

Be careful with encoders, they usually can give away if a song has been messed with. Only Audacity uses LAME encoding, which is a dead giveaway that it's either a stem edit or edited. Stem edits are ok, but I wish they would leak the stems instead. I could encode them with logic as opposed to shitty audacity edits! Most of her shit that was circulating was heavily edited, downscaled, or just tampered with. I'll attach screenshots of the encoder. Here is a few others I noticed that we either need the stems of or were tampered with:

Outlaw (LAME3.10) - We need the unedited, I assume? Could be stems ig. 

Rewind Your Heart (LAME3.10) - We need the og file. The bass cut is the most notable, also the bgv seem messed with as well. Maybe I'm reaching there, but either we need the og file. 

Waking Up Diagonal (LAME3.10) - It's a stem edit, we need the stems.

Hit Me Up (LAME3.99) - Don't know about this one.

These are just the ones I have in my files; I haven't heard all of her leaks, but if any of you notice anything, let me know.

Now I realize we've all accepted a homophobic crime of a mix. 

It's practically unlistenable compared to the live remake @reflectionmade. Credit to him, I'll post it here: https://onlyfiles.io/f/ec26ae8be34844f08a7d9db33d02aba8 
This sounds so much better imo

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.

Ah ok, I’m assuming that Love Spell was never reworked then. 

DGMGF (feat. Kendrick Lamar) https://dbree.org/v/1962d4

That’s the link I noticed on dbree yesterday, not sure who’s made it but it sounds so… off. Literally still checking dbree about 5 times a day in the hope that our most wanted links will magically appear 😩

The DGMGF is an edit, but it sounds dope lol, I might put it in my library instead! Thanks for sharing.

Either re-exported or messed with then. I'm not surprised these are the files going around. There was a ton of her stuff going around downscaled and or re-exported. Perhaps it was a wav downscaled for trading as well. Either way, we now need the og of that as well.

Oh wow I was absolutely TERRIFIED by all of my files saying "encoded with iTunes" and then I remembered I re-exported them because I usually do that when adjusting volume/EQ/remastering them  sorry people, when downloading my masterposts it is most likely I will have everything re-encoded by myself. But it's usually for trying to improve EQs or volume mostly, and not like hoarders who tryna ruin the file and if it leaks, well, it's the ruined file while they still save the OGs for them

yeah ffs, I think these are the ones that have leaked via LAME/fucked with to some extent:

Waking Up Diagonal

Outlaw

Jenny’s Got A Boyfriend

Rewind Your Heart

Somebody’s Gonna Get Hurt

Everything But You

S.L.A.Y.

Hit Me Up

Don’t Get Mad, Get Famous

Thanks for this! God, so many and so many good ones! I guess these are the ones we're looking for og files of now.

If I recall correctly, my friend told me JGAB is also a stem edit. I haven't heard so I wouldn't know for that one. 

Outlaw is very obviously LQ, and it's very unfortunate. I love that song.

DGMGF NOOO... haven't we suffered enough Bonnie's not releasing it nd now this.

If anybody has ogs of any of these files, please don't be afraid to share! Audacity stem edits and re-exports are not good for the environment.

yeah, this is completely different; you also don't use audacity. now lemme clarify audacity isn't a terrible software or anything, but when the original files are being hoarded while we are being fed audacity re-exports, it is awful! especially because lame encoding is severely worse. it cuts off at 16khz mostly. original files will be of the highest quality, and re-exporting them in audacity will downscale the quality. some of these aren't even just re-exports, songs like rewind your heart have the entire bass cut.

I refuse to believe that the version of JGAB that leaked is the real final version intended for release 💀 No fucking way
