new info that I just posted on reddit...
ariana's also considering to release a deluxe version of her next album, with 3 extra songs. here are they:
11. mixed feelings (feat. shawn mendes) 12. award show 13. blondie
• mixed feelings is described as a smooth, acoustic r&b song about a couple that's starting a relationship but neither of them feel very "into" it. personally i find the song to be kinda corny
• award show is apparently an ironic song which tries to mock the grammys... there's not much to say about it. it has generic pop/r&b/trap influences
• blondie is definitely a diss track, but i can't identify for who.. maybe a music business colleague? the main chorus stuck in my mind so I'm leaving it here:
blondie girl/on the top of the world/you think you're so special/ blondie girl/hate you the most/you're not better than me/ (i believe that was it? she recorded the vocals only once and i couldn't understand much of what she was singing that day)
other informations:
• she's still choosing the album title. probably one of the tracks (favorites are aphrodite and nasty) or self-titled
• she had a hand on the writing of every one of the songs
• about 20 tracks were written and recorded for the album, so a small part of the tracklist may change until official release
• i had access to her venus as a boy cover and plan to leak a snippet soon. it sounds other-worldly
