Impeccable.

This one's going really viral on TikTok, already 108k videos in 17 hours.

really good move sticking these two tracks together imo -- the first part (true blue) feels a bit. obvious ? beneath her ? lyrically at this point in her career but then the second part (born blue) comes in and adds depth in a really interesting way

the fact that true blue was unreleased up until now kinda confirms to me that she's been purposely avoiding obvious hits because it sounds like a SMASH -- and yet when she finally released it, it was kept to under two minutes (which even in this era of short songs is arguably a hard sell) and combined with a much slower, less radio friendly track

that said, if it's going viral on tik tok then this all might be a mute point and if/when it gets a push i'm gonna be really curious if radio plays the entire thing or just the true blue section

I try to live in black and white but I’m so blue.

Perfect album closer.

Perfect album closer, not sure which half I prefer more to be honest. "True Blue" is just a lush vibe, but I love the vocal and melody of "Born Blue."

[gmg]

The second half is so me in a song. Loving it.

You were born bluer than a butterfly
Beautiful and so deprived of oxygen
Colder than your father's eyes
He never learned to sympathize with anyone

I don't blame you
But I can't change you
Don't hate you (don't hate you)
But we can't save you (but we can't save you)

You were born reaching for your mother's hands
Victim of your father's plans to rule the world
Too afraid to step outside
Paranoid and petrified of what you've heard


Wooo!!

Amazing
