“I didn’t change my number” is becoming one of my favorite things in here.

On her previous album I felt the singles were the strongest material, this time around I feel like the best tracks of this album weren’t released as singles (I didn’t change my number, lost cause, oxytocin, goldwing…)

Lost Cause was a single!

Oh fuck you’re right. I hate that music video/song combo so I erased it from my mind.

She has a new 2-song EP out, Guitar Songs... it's good.

She played "TV" live as a duet with her brother when i saw her recently. i thought it was the one slight weak point of the set but it is much better recorded.

She was st the Dodgers v Giants game tonight in LA. Drop a single, go to a game.
Only TV is on YouTube and it was good.

2-song EPthis is literally not extended
I'm tempted to quibble about that: the "extended" in EP surely means extended compared to a single, and as nowadays singles generally are one-track releases (rather than the misnamed doubles of yore), I guess a two-track EP is within reason?

Apparently her 2018 cover of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” has been getting TikTok heat; so she released an edit that’s only the second half (without the actual lyric/vocal)? Pretty random…

Btw – i’ve posted this elsewhere, but it’s one of my favorite tracks this year so far:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVCNgOi4kFg
― Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Wayne Manor (morrisp), Friday, 12 May 2023 04:53 (eleven months ago) link
The hotline edit was released because that’s the portion of the song trending on twitter and I guess they wanted to monetize on it. Weird to only upload a portion though… I assume you pay less royalties?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 12 May 2023 05:17 (eleven months ago) link
Yeah I wondered if that portion doesn’t technically incorporate any of the songwriting on the Drake song…
― Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Wayne Manor (morrisp), Friday, 12 May 2023 05:29 (eleven months ago) link
songwriters listed as drake, paul jefferies (drake's producer) and timmy thomas (as sampled in drake's hotline bling)
but there is still money to be made from those millions of streams the song will undoubtably get
― corrs unplugged, Friday, 12 May 2023 07:15 (eleven months ago) link
But how many times will people listen to a minute-long slice of ambience? I'm sure a million ppl will stream it once (like I did)... but if it were the full song, it would end up on playlists etc. And if the songwriters get paid anyway...
I'm sure there's a logic, it's just opaque to me – they didn't even include the full title in the track name.

my guess as to why they released this “version” is because billie doesn’t actually like the full cover & didn’t want it officially released and turned into a whole thing. if it’s from 2018 then she was prob 15 when she made it, it feels likely to me that she’s sheepish/embarrassed by it being revived out of nowhere 6 years later by tik tok & so she gave her label the okay to monetize the version that basically sounds like… nothing i don’t think there’s any business reason why you would do it this way. a copyright is a copyright you don’t get to pay less if you only release a 59 second song
― J0rdan S., Friday, 12 May 2023 19:35 (eleven months ago) link
Sure, I just thought maybe that section was entirely disconnected from the original song; to the point they could slice it off and treat it as a separate composition... thus also the truncated title... obv not the case though!

Very nice new ballad:

This is a good song, not quite Vampire great but good nonetheless.
― Bee OK, Monday, 17 July 2023 03:03 (nine months ago) link
Yeah v different contexts – soundtrack contribution vs. lead single for a new album.

Barbie effect. I wasn’t blown away when I first heard the song but I have to say it was used very effectively in the movie and drove several women in my screening (including my stepkid) to tears
― Roz, Saturday, 5 August 2023 02:47 (eight months ago) link
Sounds like she dedicated the performance to recently deceased actor Angus Cloud, so maybe that was part of the reason for the emotion (I don’t know if they were close).
