Not me wanting to believe the vault was somehow ‘real’ and she really did store her masters on vhs cassette (alongside a picture with Britney). I can’t believe Bonnie killed my illusions like that. I’m traumatized by the reveal 🫣

Building the ‘infinity vault’ from the teaser:

Bonnie is on Threads and she’s sharing some exclusive nuggets and observations about her life, that she’s not posting to other platforms. You might want to start following her:

I imagine the biggest complication will be assessing different color vinyl options and measuring how effective those different color combinations look in context of the outer artwork - then deciding on final combinations/ variants prior to manufacture. Once that is decided upon, she is then at the mercy of whenever different vinyl pressing plants can fit the physical manufacture of the album into their overall production schedules. It’s unheard of to not have one global release date nowadays and that requires a lot of communication and co-ordination across different territories (at least the U.S, U.K and Central Europe).

This thread has weird energy.

So basically, it’s not a secret to anyone that Spotify will agree to playlist tracks on their most influential mainstream playlists in exchange for cold hard cash and whilst Bonnie’s budget stretches to a video, it does not quite stretch that far. Therefore she misses out at the hands of a corrupt system that is open to abuse (most frequently by major labels). Shit stinks.

If you genuinely do consider inclusion on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist (one of their most important playlists), to not be influential in generating heat surrounding an artist attempting to grow their base.. then okay. The rate at which the view count of this very thread rises, day on day - makes it pretty clear a whole lot more than just 35 people are viewing it as their ‘go to’ news source of all things Bonnie related and there is every chance those people are on Twitter/ IG/ TikTok.

Is there anything we can do in the form of an online petition/ demonstration? They are surely on Twitter & IG etc, can’t we use customer power to force them to do an about turn and reconsider? The fact they have not play-listed her, opens them up to accusations of receiving payola from the major label system in exchange for playlist inclusion (by those type of artists). Surely that is not a narrative they would want any fanbase to get behind?

Debut (and flop) single from someone whose next single would later go on to hit No.1, from a parent album that would also later go on to hit No.1. I have always much preferred this flop single that preceded all of that and live for the slow-burn structural build up that finally reaches a crescendo in the middle #8

Do we know when the video is set to drop?

This is so exciting. I hope it somehow makes a dent on the actual charts and makes an impact on radio!
