October 23, 20195 yr Author Guessing the Chaka Khan collab is a remake of 'Ain't Nobody'? Just saw this tweet about it: @1187114225723822080 Exciting! Also this is why the Dua collab fell through: @1187107659129835521
October 24, 20195 yr Author Anitta's song 'Pantera' is out there - I'm preferring it to 'How It's Done', as solid as that was. jSneYkvMrGs
October 27, 20195 yr Author A little under a week until we get this then! :o feeling very hyped for all four of the unheard songs that Ariana is involved with vocally. I feel like I'll particularly cherish this project because Ariana is really coming across as desperate for a break on social media lately, through multiple tweets. I think this'll be it for a good while - girl was even self-aware about overexposure.
October 27, 20195 yr Yeah and it couldn't be more deserved to anyone. She NEEDS that break. If she can, try and avoid paps etc.. Avoid even collaborating with people. I don't mind her writing songs for others in the mean time, but I just want her to recoup, rest and take a whole lot of time for herself. She's in the position now to take time off and have people miss her. Come back with a NTLTC type pop masterpiece in middle to the end of 2021 and she'll be back on top (even if she wanted longer than that I'd be perfectly happy with it ofc!) I'm looking forward to hearing the songs she did for this. :wub:
October 27, 20195 yr Author I agree with you 100% Jonjo! The amount of material she's been involved with since 2018 (two entire eras of her own and several collaborations) and shows she's done in that time also (80+ so far and there's still more to go...), while still sounding impeccable - the girl is superhuman! She definitely needs time away (especially as she's now implied herself that she wants it) and then come back refreshed + bigger and better than ever. I can't decide which one of these tracks I'm most excited for. I think my hype for 'Got Her Own' is probably the smallest, just because I already know what it's going to sound like - as there's a live version out there. Maybe the Chaka Khan collab as it's such amazing chance for top notch vocals and class. I really like the original 'Ain't Nobody' too, so I'm intrigued to see what they do with it. I do love Dua's style though, so knowing 'Bad To You' originally incorporated her excites me too. Then 'How I Look On You' is Ari's only solo moment on the record, so maybe she'll go in hard with that big chance to shine. Ahhhh. Bring on Friday!
October 29, 20195 yr Ariana has said there’s not going to be any more singles from the soundtrack :( @1189263879777468416 I do still imagine Bad To You will do well without being a single.
October 30, 20195 yr Author Oh that's a shame! Mainly on the visuals front for me actually - 'Don't Call Me Angel' provided us with a really strong video, so it would've been cool to get at least one more. Both 'Side To Side' and 'Motivation' have great visuals so Ari, Nicki and Normani in a video together could've been a moment. There are some clips out there of all the songs now: Lz8tDVJ5D4E
October 31, 20195 yr Mostly looking forward to hearing the full version of Bad To You, but seems like it's full of bangers!
November 1, 20195 yr Author I've only had the chance to shuffle a few songs on the way to work but one of them was 'How I Look On You' and I really liked the sound of that :wub: excited to listen in full later!
November 1, 20195 yr 'How I Look On You' is my favourite of hers. What's everyones favourite by her and in general from the Soundtrack? I can't get over the Kim/Kash/ALMA/Steff track, it's like Spice Girls 2019. Loving the M-22 track also, their production does very little wrong for me.
November 1, 20195 yr I was a little dissapointed in Bad To You. I liked Ariana/Nicki's parts but Normani didn't fit in the track well for me. I'm sure it will grow. The Chaka Khan collab was decent but it's the other two I really loved. How I Look On You is swell and Got Her Own is brilliant. Current new Ariana ranking 1. How I Look On You 2. Got Her Own 3. Nobody 4. Bad To You The non-Ariana tracks are all ok but not ones I see myself returning to.
November 2, 20195 yr What's the official album link on Spotify? I'm struggling to find it and I am only finding playlists where people have added a random song no onegives a shit about in between each track :/

I'm struggling to find it and I am only finding playlists where people have added a random song no onegives a shit about in between each track :/ Voila: (I still need to listen to this in full oops, flop, has been a busy couple of days - will do tomorrow!) Edit: oh beaten to it :lol:
November 3, 20195 yr Author Got through the album today! This would be my ranking of everything: 01. Don't Call Me Angel 02. How I Look On You 03. Got Her Own 04. Bad To You 05. Pantera 06. Eyes Off You 07. Charlie's Angels Theme (Black Caviar Remix) 08. How It's Done 09. Nobody 10. Bad Girls (Gigamesh Remix) 11. Blackout 'Don't Call Me Angel' of course has the advantage of knowing it a lot better than the others. It's still holding up really well now, riding high a couple of months later in my personal chart at #3. 'How I Look On You' is THE ONE from the new Ariana songs <3 feels like it could slot in effortlessly in the 'thank u, next' track list. Both 'Got Her Own' and 'Bad To You' are fun bops - what surprised me most about the latter is that Nicki was the highlight! I particularly enjoyed the production switch-up during her part. I think the song gets better and better as it goes along - so Normani's part the weakest, then Ari in the middle and Nicki on top. 'Nobody' was the one Ari track that I found disappointing :( the chorus was a lot more nondescript than I was expecting! I was surprised that it had nothing to do with 'Ain't Nobody' also. Anitta wins the award for strongest non-Ariana song, although M-22 ran it close as that's pretty banging. The chorus of 'How It's Done' is punchy and very Charli XCX-esque, but is let down a bit by Kash Doll and ALMA's parts for me. I found the 'Charlie's Angels' remix fun but the Donna Summer one was a bit pointless. Finally, 'Blackout' was pretty bland - would not be in a rush to hear that one again. All in all a strong project - happy to be really liking 3/4 of the new Ariana songs! Can only hope that 'Nobody' will be a slow burner.
November 3, 20195 yr Bad To You is kinda terrible oops Honestly I prefer Blackout to any of the Ari tracks! How I Look On You is definitely the best of hers though.
November 3, 20195 yr 'How I Look On You' is blatantly just a reject from 'thank u, next' (sounds very similar in parts to 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored' in particular) but I'm liking it quite a bit, this is the sound I always like the most from her. I think the chorus kinda sounds like it's from a different song to the rest of it but it still works together well enough. 'Got Her Own' is pretty good too, not really crazy about anything else I've heard off this (I do still think 'Don't Call Me Angel' was good tho xx).
