Say you have diarrhoea. No one would want to declare that unless it’s true. 😅

After listening to the dlx its official to say Jade is the queen of production yall are gonna be gagged, its defo more cohesive than the standard

Church sounds amazing the pre chorus is heavenly and the key change on the outro ufff 9/10

This is what we dance for is the catchiest for me i love the build up production between the choruses 10/10

Dreamcheater ist dreamy and cute, another bop 8/10

Best you could is some kind of power ballad which reminds me of little mix at some point felt kinda nostalgic 7/10

Use me is giving Kylie meets gaga, gagged 8/10

If my Heart was a house surprised me ngl i didn't feel the snippet that much but the whole song is a smash hit this is my second fav so far and the verses sounded kinda familiar could be a sample idk 9/10

Tar, there is some issue on this song since the first minute is not playing on yt but the rest sounded like the demo so nothing has changed, but i love this kind of closure ballad its so relatable and beautifully sung 8/10

Overall there is something for everyone in this and Jade has proven yet again that she is born to be a popstar its my album of the year (again) and i'm so thankful!

I love you JADE MOTHER thank you for this masterpiece, cant wait for more🙏❤️

Thank you for this! Btw, I read about ‘Tar’ that it is a hidden track on the album (because it’s different in sound to the rest of the songs) and therefore has gap between the previous track finishing and Tar starting. Maybe that explains the YT thing if I’m understanding right?

Not even joking but I’m really considering this lmao. I cannot miss seeing Jade!!

Excited to get stuck into this later on today.

It’s like getting a whole new album!

Use me is so epic all the new tracks really are pretty good

Urggggh, the regular version isn't loading on Apple (only the first 7 tracks...) but the clean version is, so I guess I'm listening to that for now. Lol

On a plus side, we now have clean versions of the whole album!

Scratch that, the regular version now plays!

Ok, so on first listen the production is FIRE.

I've just been to Milan and discovered Annalisa and Elodie, and the songs are reminding me of the sorts of stuff I was hearing by them actually! Nothing feels as instant as anything on the main album, but we'll see how they grow!

I think 'Church' is the correct single choice!

Also... What a bizarre choice having that minute of silence at the start of 'Tar' on the digital version... Either have a separate version of the album with 'If My Heart Was A House / Tar' on it, or have a silenceless version of 'Tar' on all digital versions. The silence on the digital version is the ONLY misstep of this era for me!

IF 'Tar' is supposed to be a hidden track (and that's clearly the case), it shouldn't really be listed on the physical tracklisting either and should be contained within the same track as the last song on the album imo too. This one really is an odd one!

Use Me would go off at festivals

Ranking on 1st listen:

This is what we dance for (instant fave)

Best You Could (instant fave)

If my heart was a house (close to the top)

Tar (needed that extra minute wasted on silence)

Use Me (I feel this one will become a fave soon)

Church (not a fan of the chorus)

Dreamcheater (this is going to have to grow on me a lot)

First listen thoughts:

01. Church > IMMEDIATELY OBSESSED! <

02. This Is What We Dance For > This is VERY Kylie, no??? It's a BANGER! SO fun! <

03. Dreamcheater > I (may be alone in this lol) get big The Saturdays vibes from this and I mean that positively! It's like a track from 'Wordshaker' with JADE's chaos sprinkled throughout... So good! <

04. Best You Could > I love a good ballad and this to me is a very 'Glory Days'-era ballad! I LOVE it! Her vocals are so stunning <3 <

05. Use Me > THIS MAY BE THE ONE! Very Gaga coded and that is definitely in the most positive way possible! SO SO SO GOOD! Fantastic! <

06. Frozen > I LOOOOOVE her version of this song so much. I do wish this was the 'Set You Free' mash-up version though! <

07. If My Heart Was A House > THIS IS INCREDIBLE. FUCCCCKKK! It's giving something like Bella Poarch (I really don't know why she was the first to pop into my head lol) in the verses, kinda! But then explodes into this electronic dance, Clubland style banger! Between this and 'Use Me' we know what a JADE Clubland-esque album would sound like... <

08. Tar > I loved this when I first heard it and although it's definitely different for the album, I love the intention of it being the "hidden bonus track" that we used to get (but agreed that's kind of irrelevant on a digital version)

JUST SOOOO GOOD. I love her so much. She hits every spot I could imagine for what I want musically. This half is definitely more "club" orientated!

This is so good, the perfect add on/companion to an excellent pop album.

My only gripe is the 1min of silence at the start of Tar. I get it if it's a hidden track, but if it's a track in it's own right then it's completely unnecessary and it halts the flow of the last part of the album.

I hope the 1min of silence is removed in the near future.

Oh, I absolutely LOVE it being a hidden bonus track! But the way it's been done makes it decidedly un-hidden, so that silence is just massively irritating instead 😂 I.e. Being a separate track on the digital version and being listed on the tracklisting of the physical versions (as far as we can see, at this point anyway lol)

For this to be the sole misstep since the album was released (the strategy beforehand had some frustrators, but that was nothing to do with the music/visuals etc), is pretty good going though!

Wow wow wow! She never fails. Another 8 epic songs on top of the already amazing 14. She is insane!

That’s 22 songs of epicness by my calculations.

Haven’t got time to rank but let’s just say everything for me is 10/10 except tar which at the moment is a 7/10 with room to grow.

Love 'If My Heart Was a House' and 'Use Me' (would love to see how Kylie would have fit on this as the original idea)

Feels like she's fully embracing her artistry on the newer songs and they're less "pop". I think she can really build her profile in a big way for the second proper era.

It'd be great to kick off 2026 with a That's Showbiz Baby rate on this forum. Gie us a month to get familiar with the deluxe tracks.

If we can do it then hopefully someone would be happy to host it.
