I totally agree with you on this lol. I'm sure it's a whole bop, but given the description it sounds more like a Drag Race challenge song, and like it'll be out of place on what is otherwise a capsule collection of dance-pop from 2013. I guess we'll see! As far as a list of songs we basically have confirmed from her RS article / TikTok comments (lol), I think it's: SLAY Forever 21 Hot City I Wanna Fucking Call You Jenny's Got a Boyfriend Don't Get Mad, Get Famous Electric Heaven Rewind Your Heart Snatched If the album is 14 or 15 songs that leaves space for 5 or 6 more. We know "Right Now" and "Somebody's Gonna Get Hurt" are out. Has she said anything about "Everything But You"? I'm pretty sure Max Martin was involved in that one too, right? 💰

Here's hoping Bonnie keeps the momentum going with this project! 🤞 The SLAY music video is inching closer to 150K views on YouTube, and the song should be over 70K streams on Spotify when the stats are updated today. She confirmed the album is coming "in the fall" in the Rolling Stone article, and has replied to TikTok comments saying she plans on releasing a few more singles over the course of the summer before the album drops. She also said she wants to shoot the next music video "soon" which is a little concerning, lol. Given what a perfectionist she is and how much effort went into the SLAY music video (not to mention the fact that she edited it herself) I don't imagine her throwing a music video together in a couple of weeks. Regardless I'd love to see "Forever 21" released at the end of July (the perfect summer bop 😍), "Rewind Your Heart" at the end of August (this song always gave me a reflective end of summer vibe), and the "Hot City" (with a killer music video) to coincide with the album release in September. A gay can dream...

The SLAY music video just hit 100k views on YouTube! Pretty impressive for an indie artist who's been out of the spotlight for so many years! I hope she's pleased with the response so far.

She cut out the "S...L...A...Y" chant after the first chorus. Which is kind of odd as that's one of the most memorable / tiktok-worthy parts of the song.

SLAY is officially OUT NOW in some parts of the world! We did it kids. 😭🙏

So it's actually coming out on June 28th, not the 21st. https://www.instagram.com/p/CtaEwCstLmC/

Fingers crossed we get a new post today! 🤞 T-minus 9 days 'til SLAY.

Yeah, what we're not gonna do is tell Bonnie – a 39 year old woman – how she should dress. Anyway, just 11 DAYS to go now folks. It's amazing how far we've come. Cheers to 500 pages, it's been such a fun and wild ride! Who would have thought even just a year ago that "SLAY" would finally be (officially) released into the world. If it weren't for us (she's mentioned the "forums" multiple times) it may have never happened.

Fingers crossed Bonnie keeps dropping new content every day leading up to the release with a reminder to pre-save. 🤞 That DIY photoshoot video was super cute. I would love to see some Reels / TikTok's of her documenting the re-recording process.

IIRC she recorded "Sleepwalker" with Oligee before signing the Epic deal. Not sure about "Stars in Your Heart" though.

Yeah, given that the past single titles on the VHS tapes are pretty much in order of release (apart from Stars in Your Heart and California Winter being swapped – although the Stars video was recorded first) I’m pretty sure this is a clue as to what singles to expect from the forthcoming album. If we get videos for Forever 21, Hot City, IWFCY, Rewind Your Heart, Everything But You and Electric Heaven my wig will permanently leave this planet.

OH MY GOD WE WON

Does anyone know if Bonnie has any other videos from the Epic album in the vault? It would be so cool to see them after all of this time. It was such a treat when she released "Stars in Your Heart" years later. We know there's at least one that she mentioned in the "Breaking Bonnie" series... I remember seeing a rumour that it was for "Worst in Me" but no idea if that's true or not.

Actually it's called being realistic, but OK werk I guess!

Who is "they"? Lol. It would be really stupid to set any expectations on "SLAY's" performance, and use that as a basis for whether or not the album gets released. Why would Bonnie go to all of this trouble of polishing up and securing the rights to these songs, only to let them sit and collect dust on a shelf once again? It's NowOrNever.mp3. Bonnie has been behind-the-scenes and out of the public eye for so long. There should be NO expectations. She needs to start from the beginning and build up some momentum and a new fan base. Good news is, she's in a FAR better position than most artists, as she does have a dedicated fanbase already, and a lot of casual pop music fans are at least familiar with her name/résumé/American Girl. It's so frustrating because her reason for going independent was to release music more frequently and avoid the red tape of a record label, but the reason she hasn't released anything is because she's set on an old-school album campaign roll-out and that's just not realistic in 2023. How many "first singles" has Kim Petras had? Lol. Bonnie is sitting on a gold mine of pop bangers, has some coins in the bank to shoot some cute visuals, and plenty of friends/connections in the industry who could easily help re-share her content and get the word out. She just needs to take the leap and start freaking putting the music out there. I finally feel confident that "SLAY" is coming, but I will be SO disappointed if she gives up again if/when it doesn't meet her expectations. Anyway, we will be streaming.

Well, June is a week away and as usual Bonnie's gone silent on social media... I really do appreciate how hard she's been working behind the scenes to get this album together, but I wish she would just give us a DATE. The number of "coming soon's!!!" we Bon Bon's have had to endure the last few years has been criminal-demo.mp3. Seeing as "American Girl" was released on June 25th, I wouldn't be surprised if she's planning to release "S.L.A.Y." around that time. Maybe the 23rd since it's a Friday? Anyway, hopefully she starts teasing at the start of June. There's a lot she could do with that vault she built...

This is mine... Don't Get Mad, Get Famous (Intro) (2:09) S.L.A.Y. (3:58) American Girl (3:43) Forever 21 (3:44) Hot City (3:55) Rewind Your Heart (4:06) I Wanna Fucking Call You (3:36) Hit Me Up (3:36) Electric Heaven (3:28) Everything But You (3:42) Waking Up Diagonal (4:00) Last Call Lover (3:40) Somebody's Gonna Get Hurt (3:42)

Bonnie has said countless times that it was Katy's decision to work with other people on "Witness." Why would Bonnie willingly choose to walk away from a gig that made her millions? lol. Anyway, yeah, fingers crossed something happens for the 10 year anniversary of American Girl. I still think the vault concept she was teasing last year was super cool, and obviously would make a lot of sense to celebrate the anniversary. Hopefully she's been quietly working on ironing out the legal issues with Epic and is prepping for a summer release...

Me every time Bonnie posts a new Instagram story and I click foolishly thinking she'll give us something... ANYTHING... but of course it turns out to be yet another re-post of her boyfriend's lame-ass band. It's absolutely crazy that the 10 YEAR (!!!) anniversary of "American Girl" is coming up in 2 months and we STILL haven't gotten an album.

Me and the girlies busting out the "SLAY" choreo (and a hip) at the seniors centre when it's finally officially released in 2070.

"Tanlines" is one of my favs from the more recent leaks for sure.

Nevermind lol. On her IG story she said she said she was "grateful to have played a small part" in the Bebe song. 😂🤔

Was anyone at Bonnie's show in LA last night? Curious to know if she mentioned anything about new music or performed any new tracks. Also, does anyone know the back story behind "Heart Wants What It Wants"? It's a mega bop but it does sound a bit dated. I wonder if it was meant for Bonnie's unreleased 2019 album. The melodies in that pre-chorus are so Bonnie.

On the topic of tracklistings... I was hoping to get y'alls opinion. I've been holding out hope that a) this album would finally get released and we'd get an official tracklisting, or b) "Right Now" would leak, but since neither of those things are ever going to happen (let's be real) I decided to finally bite the bullet and make my own custom "American Girl" lathe cut vinyl through InTheClouds to celebrate what this album could have been. Originally I was going to do a single LP with the quintessential tracks, but I really struggled to narrow the album down to 36 minutes (18 mins per side). So I've decided to do an all-encompassing 2xLP to capture the full era. The tracklist is a little more bloated than I'd like, but I figure if I have the room I may as well include as many songs as I can. Thoughts on the tracklist below? Keep in mind, there's a maximum of 18 minutes of music per side, so I've arranged the tracks to flow as best as possible, while also being able to fit as many as possible. Side A (17:29) Don’t Get Mad, Get Famous (Intro) (2:09) S.L.A.Y. (3:58) American Girl (3:43) Forever 21 (3:44) Hot City (3:55) Side B (17:54) Rewind Your Heart (4:06) Unlock Your Love (2:50) I Wanna Fucking Call You (3:36) Hit Me Up (3:36) Electric Heaven (3:28) Side C (17:56) Everything But You (3:42) Waking Up Diagonal (4:00) Last Call Lover (3:40) Wild Card (2:50) Worst in Me (3:44) Side D (17:52) Jenny’s Got a Boyfriend (3:22) Sleepwalker (4:02) Outlaw (3:43) Up to Me (3:03) *tbh I kinda hate this song, but it's the only other one from the era that would fit. Somebody’s Gonna Get Hurt (3:42) Once I get everything finalized I'd be happy to share the high-res artwork files in case anyone would like to get a copy made for themselves.

I saw this posted in the Latest Leaks thread but not here, so... A bop.
