I loved it, gave me love me like you do vibes for sure. ❤️

(The album covers)

I’m a new fan that’s why am confused 😭

Bought it before the release date and just now receive it

Had to rearrange the track order to how it was on Brightest Blue because it bothered me that ‘Overture’ was after ‘Worry about Me’ even though it’s a transition into it. So I said why not rearrange the whole thing. I know it’s probably how it should be in her view. But you just can’t do that to songs that transition into each other.

Coming October 16th

I thought it was just her management team she let go, was it also her label? Because why is she now releasing this? 😭 Someone explain please.

I really miss the energy of halcyon days. That album was actual trip.

I randomly had a thought earlier about her collab with Madeon and how her vocals were punchy enough to really hold up to his production style. In the same set of tracks she also could slow way down and do a burns track that’s almost like the opposite end of the nightlife experience.

I really hope someday she reconnects on a project with the collabs from that album.

So I’ve listened to the album a couple of times now, and I feel like there is almost a tangible line between the original/core album tracks and the “bonus” songs that were released on “We.” Similar to how Brightest Blue had the main album and then the attached EP “EG.0” that was made up of the more pop-y radio songs, I think that approach was also used here but flipped. The core album tracks were obviously written and produced to be more radio friendly or used for TikToks and Reels. The songs have more co-writers and on a handful of them, Ellie isn’t even the main writer. You can definitely hear the difference in the lyrics/arrangement of the songs from Nice Things-Ways to Hurt, so I’m not surprised I ended up liking those songs best.
