Bonnie McKee - Hot City (aka Epic Album)

[T2P]

there’s no official tracklist because the album was scrapped before it made it that far in the process. no photoshoot or title etc, only Bonnie’s concepts.

[Cornelia]

When do we think she'll announce the Album? I thought it would happen today, since the Album is only like 25 Days (!!) away.

Also, I've been listening to Chappell Roan a lot lately and I feel like Bonnie would create some magic if she co-wrote with her.

Does anyone know anything about this song, ‘Push To Start’? It’s a poor quality snippet but I’m pretty sure it’s Bonnie. Never heard of it mentioned anywhere before.

Does anyone have a photo of Bonnie and the original track list to Hot City? I swear I saw it at one point!

The whiteboard list is:

✓ American Girl

✓ Forever 21

✓ Somebody’s Gonna Get Hurt

✓ Waking Up Diagonal

✓ I Wanna Fucking Call You

✓ Outlaw

✓ Electric Heaven

✓ Everything But You

✓ Rewind Your Heart

✓ Jenny’s Got a Boyfriend

✓ Show Me Your Love

Worst In Me

Hit Man

Wild Card

Mirage

Hot City

 

I assume the songs with checkmarks next to them were the top contenders for the album. It's weird that "Hot City" was so far down the list back in the day, and now it's the title track! Maybe it was a very early / different version of the song as we now know it. She did say she originally pitched it to Cher for her "Closer to the Truth" album.

I can't imagine Cher singing Hot City though  Hot City being so low in the list makes me think it was from the newest batch back then? Not that it wouldn't be a contender...

Btw still in awe at the amount of tracks that were written/record for this record back in the day. Show Me Your Love, Mirage (2013) and Right Now  (2013) are still unleaked, and who knows how many more.

"Hot City" in Cher's voice is not something that was on my 2013 bingo card nor is it something on my 2024 bingo card
