Hurricane

FIVE YEARS???? Noooooooooo. I am so old omg.

New artists don't really pop up on This Morning the week of the release of their first single these days... :unsure:

I don't think Vanessa gets that much hate. She was admitedly the least popular in the group, but she is (yes, still) also the most talented singer. :unsure: (I mean people will try to say it's either Una or Rochelle, but we know what's up) Vanessa chose not to accept a record deal because the deals she's been offered didn't please her (probably a big fat 360-deal with a huge-ass percentage over all her profits, and probably a certain direction she had to follow). She had options, but she chose not to take them. The girl wants a deal you could have back in the time, except they don't do these anymore in 2016. Time changes, etc. Look, I think that's somehow commendable - sticking to the indie/self-fund route to do what you wanna do - but everything's been SO underwhelming so far. :( Honestly, right now, I think she should just take one of these deals she's been offered, because the direction she's going in just simply isn't good. She needs someone to tell her that what she's been recording is dull and to put her on the right direction (even if it's RnB or urban, at least put on her on some GOOD RnB you know?) What a waste of an amazing voice. :( Also, she's like...super gorgeous? :huh: So get her an amazing aesthetic to showcase how gorgeous she is, for God's sake! THROW SOME MONEY AT HER. God, she needs a label. (or to get rich) (Or she should ditch these unknown producers she's been working with a lot. Get her in a song-writing camp to write with better songwriters, she can clearly write a song even if she's not Una/Mollie. )

Oh, great news!

I hate it. :( The production's awful and there's no hook whatsoever. :/ It sounds both dated and like a demo... She sounds amazing though so I'm glad for that. When she belts. :wub: 2/10 I guess?

Kiss, Heart and Capital could still be coming later on.

Free Radio is the only one I know... but then I don't live in the UK lmao. :lol:

I love her ad-lib. :wub: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK to you

The weakest songs on the album are : Liar, Private Show and honestly.... Make Me. :unsure: Literally half of the album is better than 'Make Me...' and that makes me sooo glad. :heart: Yasss you better stan Joseph!

I've been listening to Britney a lot, so I just went back to 'Back To You', ironically lmao, and it's still so so so good. Such an amazing piece of pop. :wub:

It's not... Meaning it didn't manage the 25k it needed to.

Literally everyone's favorite is 'Liar'. I. DON'T. GET. IT.

01. Invitation It's a very decent way to start the whole thing. I think the introduction to the album is quite strikling, in a way, with these really robotic/monotone "ahhhhhhhhhh"s. You just don't know what to expect. Britney comes in, delivers her usual sultry vocals and then... Some amazing, almost angelic, "ahhh ahhh ahhh" pours into the track. She goes in full-on headvoice with the chorus and there's definitely melodyne to pitch her up even higher but I'm pretty sure it was done on purpose instead of being a pitch correction of sort. It's the sort of track that works either like an opening or an ending, you'll get what I mean by that when you listen to it. But considering the title, it makes so much sense as an opener. 02. Do You Wanna Come Over 03. Make Me... 04. Private Show 05. Man on the Moon Alright, first off. Do you guys know the sort of slight reverb effect there's on Cheryl's 'Only Human' verses? Well, the effect there is pretty much similar, but as far as comparisons go, it stops right here. That means it also sounds nothing like 'Alien'. (I feel like the comparisons are only due to the "outerspace" theme). The melody for the verses is so enticing, really catchy and she sounds lovely. But, believe me, she sounds even much better on the chorus. It's an headvoice affair, but there's no pitching up like it was the case with 'Invitation'. The middle-8 is a proper middle-8, it has an absolutely different tempo and vibe to the rest of the song, but it works. The whole song has a slightly quirk to it, but it remains really mainstream. The lyrics are honestly beautiful. Typical Britney, I feel. There's a huge single potential on this one. Production is really sleek as well, it's worth mentioning. 06. Clumsy 07. Just Luv Me Okay, this is very Britney does 'Justin Bieber', more than it is let's say a proper sister to 'Breathe On Me'. The verses and pre-chorus are honestly quite amazing. It's very sultry, delicate, soft, extremely sensual, but the chorus is lacking a climax. It works fine in the first chorus, but I really hoped she would do something different with the next ones. She does a sort of "uh-oh-oh-oh" at some point after the second chorus, so I guess there's that. Even the middle-8 seems like it should climax, but it doesn't quite do it. Honestly, it's still a 10/10 in my opinion because the atmosphere of the song is just hauntingly sensual, but I really wonder if radios would play that if it was a single... Fan favorite doesn't always equal good single for radios. 08. Slumber Party I love that one. It sounds like something that could have featured Drake, somehow? Maybe it's the production, it does sort of give 'Hotline Bling' vibes just a little. The melody during the chorus is so damn catchy and there's a post-chorus consisting of "hoo-hoo-hoooot" that is really catchy as well. It's a winner honestly, and Britney could definitely tackle a rapper on it if she wanted to release it as a single. Really strong melody on the chorus, seriously. Single potential like crazy. In fact, it would be a 10 from me now, not just a 9. 09. Just Like Me INSTANT FAVORITE. That guitar is so lush. Oh and her vocals? Amazing. It's basically 'Just Luv Me', but with like 84 hooks instead of just one. It's slightly less sultry and delicate, but the atmosphere during the chorus is quite similar. It's a tad short, of course, but it doesn't matter because it's packed with hooks and really great vocals throughout. I mean, to me, it should be the next single. It's one of my favorite Britney songs ever. 10. Love Me Down The production on the verses are so wobbly if that makes sense? I can't explain it because I'm not really good when it comes to that. The pre-chorus is soooo catchy, there's a really great melody right there. And then comes the chorus which is basically just some "l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love me down" repeated a bunch of times. It's really underwhelming, even more when you realize how catchy the verses are, but especially the pre-chorus. That part is honestly one of the best moment of the album. Oh, I also gotta say ; I love her ending note! (It's still a great track, though, don't worry.) 11. Hard to Forget Ya Amazing production, really lush vocals at the start and the melodies are so strong on the verses. It's really pop, isn't it? Not in a sweet sugar colorful way, but it just has everything that is so great about pop these days. Again, the chorus is a tad underwhelming because of how good the bits that come before were. However, it's definitely not as dull as the chorus of 'Love Me Down'. That track at least has more going for it. The build-up to the chorus is admittedly really great and it's true that the chorus just soars in an almost euphoric way. Really great vocals again, especially the middle-8. Great song. 12. What You Need Okay, I don't want to scare you away.... but it's honestly a Meghan Trainor albumtrack. BUT DONE RIGHT. So don't worry too much. The vocals are great (although they're definitely going to be divisive because of how bold there are at times). To me honestly, it's like "Private Show" but made to actually sound good within the context of the album. (Yes, 'Private Show' honestly is too weird for the album) 13. Better Tropical house bop for days. Maybe less 'Justin Bieber' this time, and more of what most people have been doing recently. It's really good, though. I don't think there's a single potential there (everything is good, but not great ; the vocals, the lyrics, the production, etc.) Okay, the drop is catchy for sure, yes, but I don't know if it would be enough. As a bonustrack, though, it's a looooot more than decent. It's really good, seriously. 14. Change Your Mind This is NOT a bonustrack, alright? This is like your best second-single ever. What the f*** is this doing on the Deluxe? It's literally above so many of her best songs. The verses are catchy enough with a really "snap your fingers" production, but then the pre-chorus hit you and....UGHHHH! So so so good. It goes : "Say you don't want to cross the line, but Imma make you change your.....MIIIIIND" Her falsetto sounds so nice on that last word. There's a drop and it's quite decent, but it works perfectly fine because there's a few vocals lines over it. So so so so goood. I swear to God. Also Britney speaking spanish? I mean, come on! This is just too good. 15. Liar Okay, everyone loves that one, but I honestly don't get it. It's definitely sassy, so if you really like that, you will love it. It's really bold and huge in production, the bassline is quite immense. It sounds like there's some really deep and low haunting male voice in the background as well. The chorus is just dull in my opinion, sorry. 16. If I'm Dancing The vocals are so airy, almost euphoric. Really sweet and angelic at times. The production is quirky. There's a lot happening production-wise, but the song somehow feels really laid-back and chill, somehow... Maybe it's the airy vocals. I love the middle-8, she sounds so luuuuuuush on it guys. 17. Coupure Électrique The pronunciation is quite honestly terrible, but the song is just so weird, so odd, that it works perfectly fine. It's basically a Yelle track - which, ironically, is a French artist. It's some cold electropop sugary piece of a bop. It works fine as a closer since it's basically meant to be a "blackout".

I've decided to describe a few songs for the people that have decided to not listen to it until the release of the album. It's coming in a few minutes!

It is honestly quite hard to decipher in some parts. It's a great song, but they could have made a better effort to get the best pronunciation they could get from her - which I doubt is what we got. :unsure: :lol:

Woopsie, I didn't think the spoiler thingy would look like that. :lol:

J'oublie le monde quand tu fais Fais-moi l'amour Mon amour J'ai oublie le monde quand tu fais Fais-moi l'amour Mon amour Comme une Coupure électrique J'oublie le monde quand tu fais Fais-moi l'amour Mon amour Un moment avec toi Dans le noir Un moment avec toi Dans le noir Comme une Coupure électrique T'es la lumière T'es la lumière J'oublie le monde quand tu fais Fais-moi l'amour Mon amour Comme une Coupure électrique J'oublie le monde quand tu fais Fais-moi l'amour Mon amour Translation for anyone:

So, so, so gooooood. 'Make Me' is honestly one of the weakest offerings of the album. :unsure: Also, 'Liar' is definitely bonustrack material.

CompareMyRadio doesn't want to update with anything else than the BBC Radio 1 plays it got.

A pale red update as well as Charlie Puth climbing and climbing means it will get knocked off from the #18 spot, but it's perfectly alright.

Come on Island, payola your way through streams! Top 200 is nice. Hopefully it manages more and more streams each day instead if just stablizing, or worse, dropping.

Been pretty steady, surprisingly but we're only barely through Day 2, so I'm not putting too much thought in that. However, Zach, if you ever feel like it, keeping updates in her Spotify streams would be very nice. ( I'm saying That because you did keep updates on their simgles quite often in the past, so yeah you'll be good. )

I already found . :angel:

06. Make Me 05. Private Show 08. Clumsy 10. Do You Wanna Come Over
