Posted June 2, 20205 yr Tonight's 'sweetener' listening party and previous conversation have influenced the making of this topic. So I want to hear what order you would do it.
June 2, 20205 yr Preferably it'd be the video edit so the transition from raindrops into no tears was smoother, but I think this is how I'd order the album :wub:
June 2, 20205 yr 01. raindrops (an angel cried) 02. no tears left to cry 03. God is a woman 04. blazed (feat. Pharrell Williams) 05. the light is coming (feat.

June 2, 20205 yr Author Those are already BIG improvements Jonjo and Jade! I'd probably go with something like this, I think it works? I think not using 'Pete' as an actual interlude was a missed opportunity. 1. raindrops (an angel cried) [intro] 2. no tears left to cry 3. breathin 4. everytime 5. God is a woman 6. R.E.M. 7. sweetener 8. happy (Interlude) << Pete Davidson 9. blazed (feat. Pharrell Williams) 10. the light is coming (feat. Nicki Minaj) 11. successful 12. borderline (feat. Missy Elliott) 13. better off 14. get well soon 15. goodnight n go EDIT: To avoid double posting! I actually LOVE the idea of the standard/deluxe Andrew, an especially good idea on album full of non-single material and I also really like 'better off' closing the album too, would have been the perfect transition to 'thank u, next' too.

June 7, 20205 yr I like that with a Pop heavy start, fadding more and more into an R&B sound and a beautiful relaxing finish. ^_^ Thanks for that! I’d probably add a 22 second silence at the end of goodnight n go too to honour the victims of Manchester Arena (the way she has the silence on get well soon on the official version). I think goodnight n go works more as the final track than get well soon does from a cohesive listening perspective.
June 8, 20205 yr Author I agree with you completely! For me, especially the lyrics of 'goodnight n go' make it fit so well as a final track. To have a 22 second silence is such a beautiful idea and would have had such an impact, I'm obsessed! :heart: :heart:
