I think the first 2 singles are stellar. An artist doesn't have to change their sound in order for me to like them. Oh I still like the songs, and her, and I don't think anyone is making that argument. The fact is that she has a much more diverse catalog than 1000FoF and these two singles present, that hasn't been apparent since her comeback, and it would be awesome to see more diversity from her. Especially since this is an album of songs intended for a diverse group of artists.

Confirmed in a radio interview that one of the songs on the album was intended for Shakira and has the lyric "move your body for me, your body is poetry"

She also just casually dropped that she's currently planning a "little tour" for next year. Let me start selling my blood for coins now.

Is that Sia on the album cover? I just assumed it was Maddie at first.
I'm hoping the song she wrote for Gwen Stefani called "Start a War" makes the cut as it doesn't seem like Gwen will include it on her own album (although she has performed it live already).

"Cheap Thrills" sounds good. Not very innovative, but it sounds promising.

Cheap Thrills is easily the worst song I have heard from Sia. It has NONE of her personality and is so beneath her that it actually angers me to listen to it. I agree that it should have gone to Rihanna...on her first album.

It's becoming clear that this project is s horrible idea. These songs are all rejects for a reason - a really good reason. Bye girl.

I wish Rihanna had done Cheap Thrills. This is the type of song Rihanna should be doing and not songs like "FourFiveSeconds" or "American Oxygen."

My biggest problem with One Million Bullets and Cheap Thrills is that it sounds like they never did a full production of the demos. Most of my issues with both are that they sound cheap, for lack of a better word.
Cheap Thrills is the best since Alive, though. More excited for the album now.

How well do you all think Fire Meet Gasoline would have performed if it was released as a follow up to Elastic Heart? The piano at the end is amazing.

Last promo song "Reaper" out on Friday
A big batch of songs/demos by her leaked overnight, and they're all significantly better than what we've heard from TIA thus far...Joy I Call Life, Froze You Out, Blinded by Love >
She's also performing at Coachella this year! Her first major live spot since she last performed Titanium there with David Guetta in 2013. She even got second billing (behind Calvin Harris, the headliner that day), which is impressive. If she's not doing a full tour, I'd say it's a safe bet that she'll be doing the festival circuit instead.
Now it looks like we're getting the full tracklist today!

I'm loving "Joy I Call Life" right now.
I also enjoy "Reaper," and I could have really seen Rihanna singing it... Not entirely sure it would've been a hit, though. I almost find it too chill, for lack of a better word.

I'm so disappointed with how "Alive" did, I was sure that song was a smash. Notthing else I've heard so far from this album sounds nearly as hit worthy, which doesn't give me much hope for its success

"Reaper" is really good! I think Rihanna and her producers could have added their own touch to amplify it a bit more and it would have came out even better. This is now my second favorite (after "Alive') of the songs released so far.

All these songs are blending together but "Reaper" is good. I also like "Bird Set Free." "Alive" is painfully annoying to me though.
