I totally forgot about this! Dev's voice is def on the chorus, but the history of this song is quite long. To the best of my memory... The original version of "Don't Hurt It" was written by Dev and The Cataracs during their writing camp in Central America back in 2010. The demo was produced at The Indie-Pop Sweat Shop. At this point, it was a solo song with fully original verses from Dev only. (A slightly sped-up version of this version exists and was created as a proof of concept) Timbaland came into the picture when the song was with Manny Marroquin for mixing at Larrabee Studios in LA. Timbaland wrote an original verse and layered it on the original production demo to see how it would fit. Timbaland ended up reproducing the song slightly, which is the version that would eventually be released on the US version of Dev's debut album, The Night the Sun Came Up. During the same time as #2, The Cataracs were tapped to remix KPop group Girls' Generation's "Bad Girl." Since "Don't Hurt It" was effectively sitting on a shelf during this time, they took Dev's vocals and spliced it into their remix of "Bad Girl." While I don't have confirmed info on when Bonnie came into the picture, I can surmise that she probably got a hold of the first demo and tried her hand at writing new verses for Dev (which explains why Bonnie's vocals are produced in the Dev-esque style). I say this because the instrumental production on Bonnie's version is the same as Dev's solo and Timbaland's first, which both use the original production from The Indie-Pop Sweat Shop. All this to say, Bonnie's version probably came before Timbaland got involved, but it didn't go anywhere because Dev ended up going with Timbaland's version.

I think I missed part of the conversation Link me to the Bonnie track please!

Oh yeah, sorry, I should've been more specific. I was hoping to see her name in the documents somewhere.

I ran to that folder when I unpacked it and I was hoping to spot Kesha's name somewhere, but she got completely erased.

Thank you for sharing I'm always here for more nostalgic BTR

Whoever shared the songs, thank you! I can't wait to hear these songs and be taken back to a younger time.

Wait, someone tried to pass Dev off as Bonnie?? Also, I still stan Dev. Underrated queen!

I'm glad she's found her one! I wonder how many Swifties are now going to settle down with their toxic SOs just to match life stage with her.

Picked up the variants! I can't believe it's real

It's crazy that there's so much vaulted BTR material. Those boys were booked and busy!

You're definitely allowed to share, PHF won't stop anyone from sharing this type of material.

Honestly, prob real, but I've never seen someone sell files via eBay before. 10GB would be very interesting though! I think the seller is legit with the material, but selling files on eBay is just a strange way of approaching it.

I hope she goes with #2! But I also secretly hope somebody is able to edit #3 into the song when it drops on the deluxe so we can have both

I have always wondered this! Anyone know how to feed that track through Bonnie AI? I'm really curious how it could sound in her voice. I feel like it would fit perrrrrrrfectly

I love that we got this expanded version! Bonnie truly knows her fans well

I did a quick search and it looks like this site might have some, but I can't verify the legitimacy of this site. I've never purchased from them before https://eoe.works/collections/shop-all-new-refurbished-apple-ipod-classic-apple-ipod-video

Honestly, your best bet is going to be a second-hand market like eBay or Mercari. I don't think you'll find any official retailer selling newly manufactured iPods anymore.

omg not the myspace look coming back into fashion. That's when you know it's time to pack it up and move into the retirement home down the street.

Now we're all Millionaires!

Let me try another site. I uploaded the 2 songs, but also the zip as well. If the zip still doesn't work, it might be how you're trying to uncompress the folder. https://we.tl/t-IKT8DaMWiL

I could open it. I reupped it to Buzzheavier. Maybe the download got interrupted? myspace (ty @From The Outside)

O.M.G. HUSH LITTLE BOYFRIEND FULL AND IN HQ?! @From The Outside you have restored my faith in humanity @Main Pop Girl time to lay my body 6 feet under. I can finally die happy.

I just played this album again yesterday and it's such a strong body of work! We love Bonnie!

And she's still yet to return to the charts.

While I'm sympathetic to anyone getting scammed, this is why I included the last line in this thread: I've made it very clear in the past, but new members may not be acutely aware, PHF is a forum for music. The impetus behind the site is not specifically for trading or selling. As a result, Mods and Admins do not get involved with issues relating to trading/selling/buying. You are more than welcome to share your experiences with other users (positive and negative), but that's your prerogative. Now, if the user in question begins to exhibit behaviour that explicitly goes against the rules that are outlined in the thread above, that's where you may report such behaviour, and a Mod or Admin will conduct an investigation. I hope this brings you some solace.
