Fix the Era

Meghan Trainor - TREAT MYSELF.

Two scenarios. The first, simplest one, the original 2018 version gets released as it was intended to, untouched and with the pertaining singles. That would already be a dream come true. The singles are "NO EXCUSES", "LET YOU BE RIGHT", "CAN'T DANCE", "EVIL TWIN" and "FOOLISH", with the title track and "ALL THE WAYS" as promotional/instant grat singles.

The other one is as follows: in a universe where Meghan is like a huuuuuuge artist, Britney/Madonna/Gaga/Xtina-level, the 2018 version is scrapped, and so are the 2018 singles and the Love Train EP altogether. The era is re-started with new singles and the 2020 version is released without any of the 2018 tracks. New single plan:

1. "WAVE" (27 September 2019)
2. "GENETICS" (17 October 2019)
3. "BLINK" (4 November 2019; promotional/instant grat)
4. "NICE TO MEET YA" (22 November 2019; last pre-album single)
5. "MAKE YOU DANCE" (31 January 2020; released along with the album)
6. "WORKIN' ON IT" (17 April 2020)

However, here comes the interesting part: a year later, by fan demand, the album is reissued as the TREAT MYSELF: Super Deluxe Edition boxset with three discs:

CD1 - TREAT MYSELF (Released version)

1. WAVE (feat. Mike Sabath)
2. UNDERWATER

7. BLINK
8. YOU DON'T KNOW ME
9. BABYGIRL
10. WORKIN' ON IT (feat. Lennon Stella & Sasha Sloan)
11. ASHES
12. LIE TO ME
13. AFTER YOU (feat. AJ Mitchell)
14. HERE TO STAY
15. HAVE YOU NOW
16. ASHES Acoustic; bonus track
17. WORKIN' ON IT Solo acoustic; bonus track

CD2 - TREAT MYSELF (Original version)

2. NO EXCUSES
3. LET YOU BE RIGHT
4. HARD TO PLEASE

15. GOOD MORNIN'
16. MARRY ME Bonus track

CD3 - TREAT MYSELF: The B-Sides. A collection of unreleased songs from the album's sessions, plus songs from soundtracks  and collaborations released around the album's promotional cycle.

1. YOU'RE INVITED
2. FREAK
3. BADASS WOMAN from the motion picture The Hustle
4. RUTHLESS
5. BEDROOM (feat. Tyler Hubbard)
6. WE OK
7. KISSING IN THE DARK

11. SAY IT TO MY FACE
12. HURT ME from Songland

Joyride by Tinashe (2017)

Tracklist

Spoiler

1. Keep Your Eyes On The Road - Intro
2. Joyride
3. No Drama (feat. Offset)
4. He Don't Want It
5. Fugazi
6. Energy (feat. Juicy J)
7. SuperLove
8. Player
9. Rain
10. Flame
11. Salt
12. Box On A Shelf (feat. Supervillian)
13. Ooh La La
14. No Contest / Fuck Up My Mind
15. Go Easy On Me Baby (Interlude) 
16 Faded Love (feat. Future)
17. Fire & Flames

So this album had an awful delay from 2015-2018 and as much as I like the simple format of the album we eventually got, Me So Bad feels like such a commercial 2017 song and I like Stuck With Me but I'm not a fan of little dragon's vocals on this one and so many great songs like Fugazi for example got axed which was a shame. Tinashe's vision is always to be trusted, FUCK RCA.

Anyways, I love the singles from 2015-16 too, Flame is one of her best songs I think. I wanted to add L-O-V-E and wasn't too keen on it when I first listened but maybe I'll slot it in when I come back to it! I feel like considering how messy this era was, I should try and do a better single rollout idea. I'm never the best w single rollout ideas but oh well

 

Singles:

1. Player (Solo + Remix EP)
2. SuperLove
3. No Drama (Solo + Remix EP)
4. Flame
5. Faded Love (feat. Future)

This album was doomed from the beginning. Written and recorded following her near-death experience with malaria, Messy Little Raindrops was simply that: messy. The album had two singles and only one was successful: "Promise This". Through the Shadows is an alternate title I would've given the album, or even Spread Your Wings, both lyrics from "Promise This", which would've felt more... promising for the album. I also would have included re-recorded edits (to match the album's dance-pop production) the b-sides "Boys" & "Just Let Me Go" from 3 Words, because they would have fit so well for this project. I also would have forged ahead with the planned third single, "Everyone" with Dizzee Rascal as the album's second single, instead of "The Flood" (which, while a cute song, was not single-worthy).

Bebe Rexha - Expectations (22 June 2018).

Let me introduce a brand new artwork as the original is pretty much something I dislike:

This version omits previously released songs "I Got You" and "Meant to Be" (they don't fit in the album + they were on EPs already) and has a better rollout, allowing a longer era that extends through most of the year.

Singles:

1. "I'm a Mess" (8 February 2018)
2. "Knees" (13 April 2018)
3. "Ferrari" (25 May 2018)
4. "The Little Things" (13 July 2018, post-album)
5. "2 Souls on Fire" (14 September 2018, post-album)

Tracklist:

1. Ferrari
2. I'm a Mess
3. 2 Souls on Fire (feat. Quavo)
4. Shining Star
5. Knees
6. Self Control
7. The Little Things
8. Sad
9. Steady (feat. Tory Lanez)
10. Pillow
11. Matches
12. Grace
13. Nothing at All Target/Japanese bonus track; included as a b-side on the "Knees" single release

Also some b-sides for the singles:

• "Don't Get Any Closer", b-side for "I'm a Mess".
• "Nothing at All", b-side for "Knees", later included as a Target/Japanese bonus track.
• "Grave", b-side for "Ferrari".
• "Distract Me", b-side for "The Little Things".
• "Mine", b-side for "2 Souls on Fire".

Now this, right here, would have been an absolute SLAY of a good time.
