It’s such a shame she’s never ever actually going to release any music, and honestly so sad to think about how many times she’s lied and led on her fans. She has shown no remorse, or accountability as she continues to show boat her bops during her house parties. She reminds me of bat girl, the film everyone wanted, but never came out: she is bat girl. 

None of us truly know the machinations of what she has had to endure during her interactions with different elements of industry. it appears she has been let down by a lot of well connected people. Some of whom clearly affiliated to management teams of artists she formally wrote for, tying her down to an assortment of sunset clauses and NDA’s, angry she elected to forge her own path and chose to carve out her own destiny out-with the shadow of those artists.

Equally, raw talent in combination to an instinct for business, are two entirely separate disciplines and not qualities necessarily attributable to those who are artistically gifted. It is clear that being industry black listed by those affiliated to a portion of her former clients in correlation to her own lack of business acumen have become a cross she unfortunately must bear (at least for now).

Her stamina in opposing such less than ideal circumstances and swimming upstream in opposition to them is impressive and I for one (as I’m sure many of you do too) continue to wish her nothing but luck and success in navigating them better (with the benefit of experience and hindsight) in future.

    Does anyone know, was the already leaked track “What’s it Gonna Take” produced by RedOne ?

    Or what year it originated from?

    iirc that song is 2009 and was produced by Oligee and Josh Abraham... afaik she never collaborated with RedOne, unless it's unleaked things.

    At this point, I'm so happy with what we have and I don't wanna ask for anything else... but if something else were to leak, let it be "Turn Me Up"!

    Yaaaassss I'd DIE if we got to hear Bonnie's version because the song is a BAWP! And you know, as I was editing the list and going through all the songs that have leaked I had the realization just how insane it is we've reached this point. Like, just a couple of years ago no one dared to dream of having all these bops, let alone the majority of her Epic songs--yet here we are! It's huge.

    Yeah, afaik the only collabs between Bonnie and RedOne that we know about (since they're registered on her BMI) are Ready / Ready 2 Love (= unreleased Sean Paul song) and Touch n Go. Besides those two, it doesn't look like she worked with him on more songs.
