The industry has been so bad at minting new pop stars this decade that it’s almost shocking we’re getting two (Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter) at the same time. Sabrina’s biggest claims to fame before this year were co-starring in a Boy Meets World spinoff and being the “blonde girl” referenced in an Olivia Rodrigo song.
the did it for the extended mixes of Kylie's last album, so i could definitely see the same thing happening here
“When we were making the record I said, ‘If Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin can do 10-minute songs and Queen can do 10-minute songs then why can't we?!’”
i played a couple previews from New Zealand's Apple Music page for this version, and yeah, this is definitely present to some extent
Yessssss…Kevin Parker productions aren’t meant to be 3min tracks, let the instrumentation build. Very pumped for this.
4 minute Anything For Love is about to be SOTY EDIT: Apparently these extended editions have been out for a while for the singles. Wild. The Houdini one sounds like it's mixed differently. Feels way more Tame Impala-esque. More reverb on the vocals, more focus on the synth.
Yeah it feels like you asked AI to extend the songs, there's very little that isn't just instrumental breaks at weird points. Like listening to an instrumental version and normal version at the same time.
