Posted February 16, 20232 yr The 'Wow' single treated us to three B-sides, but which is your favourite? x0Lr4BU9Cmo -zgWfFJojww o6Fz45wL7tY
February 16, 20232 yr Ahhh, I absolutely love 'Do It Again’, that sounds like something ripe for a big tour performance. Although the other two are also fantastic, ‘Cherry Bomb’ always sounds like something I’d love to hear at a summer pool party and ‘Carried Away’ is a solid early Calvin number (and miles better than ‘Heart Beat Rock’ in those stakes) All 3 perhaps deserved a spot on the album I’d say.
February 16, 20232 yr I actually really like all 3, at the moment carried away is my fave but on another day it could be any of the other 2, these 3 tracks are better than a few tracks that are actually on x.
February 23, 20232 yr Cherry Bomb, in-fact all 3 of these should have been on the X album instead of 'Cosmic', 'All I See' & 'Nu-Di-Ty'
February 23, 20232 yr Cherry Bomb has always seemed to be the fan favourite - I like them all tbh, bring back the days of b-sides, used to love getting new music after the album had been released.
February 23, 20232 yr Do It Again. But I agree all three should have been on X, which felt like a real grab bag pulling in about four different directions - not all good. It’s not that she didn’t have the material available, some of the strongest stuff was just overlooked.
February 24, 20232 yr For me x had the potential to be one of her best albums if the right songs were picked, some of the weaker album tracks really drag it down but some brilliant music came from this era.
March 2, 20232 yr Author All three are great, but 'Cherry Bomb' is my favourite, I really wish that one was on the album. You can tell it's Bloodshy and Avant with that quirky, choppy production and I just love how flirty and slightly hypnotic it is. I would welcome the other two on the album too - both bring that energetic, fun pop sound in a similar way 'Wow' does - but if I had to make my own 'X' tracking list with the same amount of tracks, I'd probably have to leave them off.
