Isn't it often something like if they release the songs then the songwriters would have to get paid, so holding them prevents that from happening? Just normal greedy label stuff
I guess when you take forever to drop the next album and get dropped by your label the website budget goes away too. Her official website does not exist anymore and is now an Australian gambling website.
on one hand, i'm glad she's free of her old label and can put out music on her own terms. on the other hand, between most of Masochism being held by Capitol and her perfectionism, i don't think we'll get a new album for quite some time, be it Masochism or something new entirely if she sees getting the rights back to those songs as a losing game (or rerecording them, which she says she doesn't have the money to do from scratch)
i'm approaching her the same way i approach Frank Ocean nowadays - it'd be cool to have new music, but i'm not holding my breath anymore after so many false promises
Hope Charli responds. seems weird that she’d get a feature on the album but not get credited. Did they forget to mention or something? Pretty damn disappointing if this is true
Definitely need details, because yes Altars was a demo from 2015, but not a Sky demo, it's written and performed by Justin Raisen. I know because I have the demo.
Altars is probably my least favourite song she's released since Sucker. She could have left that one off.
