Alrite, I admire her so much not to the extreme extent that I photo-shopped my pic with her whenever I can. No, I did not.
I respect her business sense, songwriting talents, voice, smartness and I read in social medias that she is nice. I have not met her except like 5 feet away when she was on stage in RED tour. Based on my observations, she is a genius when she markets her songs and herself. I believe she has a group of PR/Marketing experts to manage her brand and products but I also believe she has the final say in many aspects. Normally one will be good at making a product a 'huha' but when it comes to delivery, product or service is just a 'Neh'. As for her, I noticed she always have something interesting up her sleeves. Personally, I have no idea what to expect from this most anticipated album. After my favourites 'Red' , a Country with tints of pop and '1989' pop album, I wonder how pop can be the next one? After listening to her singles release since the past 2 months, Look What You Made Me Do, Ready for It, Gorgeous and Call It What You Want , well I thought that is it. That is all. But then, the changes builds up. The first time I listened to the whole album, focusing merely the melody and glimpse of its lyrics, only halfway through it choked my heartfelt feels. I have not even look through the lyrics in detail. Today has been 1.5 days that I did both listening and grasping the lyrics. Like I mentioned before, her lyrics are always filled with storyline, detailed but with mysteries which I guess that is why people like to theorize it. And the best part is the lyrics match our life in specific, for me yes. That is why I guess it will not be a bore and her songs lasted in my daily playlists. I tried to rank these songs based on my favourites. At first I could, then I failed. Each of these beats have their flawless personalities. Everytime my hands flung here and there synchronizing to the beats. Rhythmically pulsing the suspense with each words.
Let's see how I can describe these songs. I am not a masterchef judge so excuse me on the limitations of these reviews. 1) Getaway Car (Letz have fun and adventure animated to life) 2) End Game (Solid mix with the featured artists and their genre) 3) Dancing with Our Hands Tied (Wow, this happened to me) 4) I Did Something Bad (I carved evil smiles while listening to this and reading through the lyrics. I love it!!) 5) Dress (My face heat up to this) 6) Don't Blame Me (Beautifully soulful and I did not anticipate this.) 7) King of My Heart (Your love is a secret...) 8) This is Why You Can't have Nice Things (HA HA HA!) 9) Delicate (At first I was not really into this but then I get it) 10) So It Goes (All eyes on us...) 11) New Year's Day (Tender sweet. I enjoyed the live performance of this in her RI's house) 1) Ready For It (My most favourite singles. It sparks up the interconnection of the neurons in my brain) 2) Gorgeous (Also my fav. Exactly the descriptions playing in my mind if I meet someone gorgeous) 3) Look What You Made Me Do (A F*** you idiots kind of song that keep repeating in my head) 4) Call It What You Want (A F*** you kind of song but in a gentle way) |

Like I mentioned, I do not normally pre-order stuffs. But I did yesterday. The package includes their Glory Days Documentary (Yes!!!) and calendar. Oh, I also love the Glory Day's hoodie which Jade wore in some photos and yeah I got that too. Looking forward to see them in their tour here, Singapore.
Documentary CD:
I cannot wait for the arrival of this order also because I want to watch the documentary so much. If you guys follow them and watch the videos compilations made by fans, you will not just fall in love with their songs but attracted to them as individuals and their relationship with one another. Some of the interviews I watched many times cos they are funny and sassy. And their documentary is 5 out 5 stars. I hope it can be longer than this though with more shots and behind-the-scenes. |

Can you imagine how a song can make me fall in love with the other ones later?
A colleague of mine sent to me a song before which I did not even open the file. And then one day, I watched a YouTube video with this song as a background clip. I was like "Oh wow! The lyrics!". Then I started to google it. At first, I found the one featuring Jason Derulo including its official music video. Then I told this colleague of mine about this song. And he was like... "Hey, this was the one I sent to you before. But the Part II." (This happened before when he told me to watch Pitch Perfect 1. I said okay okay but didn't really care much).
So, I heard the Part II, and I was like this was the actual one I heard in that compilation video!!! As of that moment, I have been listening to Secret Love Song Part II a bazillion times. Since then, I checked out other songs of LM which I was so afraid that I will fall in love with them and will be so into everything. And soo... it happens. I love 'Move' (Salute album)... then it goes to Shout Out To My Ex etc etc... I researched everything backwards.
'Hair' is my favourite music video. Casual and cute, and they are extra beautiful, appealing hair and beautiful eyes. I watched this many times. What I can say about this album, I repeated the whole album in the flight from the in-flight entertainment for 4-6 times.
Dear Perrie, Jade, Jesy and Leigh-Ann, if you are reading this, I love you all !!
