June 22, 20232 yr I’ve pre-ordered the Spotify Fan variant one and I don’t have a confirmation (or shipping atm!) email either :drama: OH! Pretty sure that’s what I ordered also… does it show as WMIS on your bank statement ?
June 22, 20232 yr Author I've just logged in and looked at my orders, it's there so I've contacted them about it.
June 22, 20232 yr This is the 6th song to be released before the album: eezWXJKJJG8 Six songs before the album without any hit - a classic Atlantic pop rollout! :lol:
June 22, 20232 yr Author 6 is so many. LMAO. I have only "spammed" the first 3 ('me', 'mine' & 'favourite kind of high'). Heard 'I Hate Love' & 'Red Flag Collector' a couple of times but I'm trying to save everything else for the album :lol: Just noticed that my Amazon order for the CD (with the artcard) hasn't shipped yet either... ffs. WHAT'S GOING ON??? :(
June 23, 20232 yr Author First listen rating: 08.0 skip this part > Some of her vocals in this are low-key reminding me of Molly Sanden, randomly! But WHEW VOCALS! THAT final bridge/chorus! WOW. < 10.0 mine > One of my favourite songs of the year. It's just really stunning! < 09.0 high road > Oh this is goooood! Very 80's. The most 80's song she's done to date I think. This sounds like it could grow too! Very good!< 10.0 me > Again, another fantastic song. LOOOOOOVE the gospel feel to it. I cannot WAIT for us to get a performance of this! < 07.5 down to you > Definitely the most "interesting" track sonically of the era so far. I like it and I actually quite like the chorus despite it being a bit messy! I feel like it adds to it's charm! < 06.5 chemistry > It's nice. It'll be interesting to see how I feel about this once I've heard it more. Definitely the most "filler" yet. < 11.0 favourite kind of high > BOP! BOP! BOP! Absolutely ADORE this. Another one of my songs of the year. < 07.0 magic > I like this and it could (yet again) be another grower! I think it will grow. < 09.0 lighthouse > Oh this is beautiful. Such a gorgeous ballad. Something you're guaranteed to have on a Kelly album! < 07.0 rock hudson > I feel like I should like this more than I do, currently. It's good though. < 06.0 my mistake > Probably the most filler track on this album. Not bad but meh. < 09.0 red flag collector > I wish she touched on the sound of this song more throughout the album. I like this one a LOT and it actually gets better with more listens. < 09.0 I hate love (feat. Steve Martin) > SO much fun! Such a fun, cute BOP. < 08.0 that's right (feat. Sheila E) > Oh this is a whole viiiibe! Fun, breezy and chill! Very different for Kelly, sonically. It suits her! < A solid album overall! I really like it. It is extremely "Safe" and "Radio 2", but I really don't mind anymore. Throw 'Piece By Piece', 'Meaning of Life' & 'When Christmas Comes Around...' into a blender and this is what you would get, I think. Cute! Looking forward to delving more into this album! Ranking: 01. favourite kind of high 02. mine 03. me 04. red flag collector 05. lighthouse 06. I hate love (feat. Steve Martin) 07. high road 08. skip this part 09. that's right (feat. Sheila E) 10. down to you 11. rock hudson 12. magic 13. chemistry 14. my mistake I think my biggest growers will be 'rock hudson', 'that's right' & 'high road' I really think 'that's right' has potential to grow the most!

June 23, 20232 yr My vinyl has arrived! Listened in full this morning, some amazing tracks, some that I think will be a grower too, I will listen to it again tonight on the vinyl and give my ratings/rankings !
June 23, 20232 yr Author After my Leona fiasco last week (the vinyl being scratched), my luck seems to have run out with getting nice conditioned vinyl as the sleeve is damaged on my vinyl of this. I've messaged hopefully to get a replacement sleeve, the vinyl itself is actually fine (and really gorgeous too!) so I will see what they respond. Also, I'm already loving this album on more listens! 'that's right' is fast approaching to becoming one of my standouts... EDIT: They're not replacing it which sucks. Kinda annoyed tbh.

I wouldn't let it drop I'd officially complain, worth a try at least.
June 23, 20232 yr First listen done. I like Mine, Red Flag Collector, I Hate Love & Rock Hudson. Good album overall though.
