Yeah once again, I am not (and never have) attacked Camila personally. Just to recap:
- They were clearly targeting a Fri 22nd release. Hence the print promo being sent out. - Print goes out, too late to pull it back, the link to the Instagram doesn't even work. - The streaming save links on her site around the same time don't work and link to a mailing list. - Alongside this, the song leaks. - They choose a release date of Wednesday, mid-tracking week.
I would genuinely love to see a counter argument explaining how that isn't a complete mess.

I would genuinely love to see a counter argument explaining how that isn't a complete mess. The song did leak but not too many people around the world heard the leak. If I recall it was on YouTube and it had only like 300 total views.And yes releasing the song tomorrow on a Wednesday makes no sense, should have waited till Friday.

Lol, I mean sure. It's a messy rollout and I'm at liberty to comment on it. I'll let her marketing/PR team come for me if they so wish.

Messy rollout aside, the real issue is the song, lol. I can't wait to see the general online reaction and the reception on radio/streaming. It's gonna be a interesting.
The closest comparison I can think of is "Accelerate" by Christina. Not sonically. But both messy songs made up of disparate parts that fight against each other and simply don't gel to form anything cohesive. With some finessing and editing I feel like something could be done with this though.

It's here!
I didn't hear a DAMN thing Carti said, but I like it overall. Quick and easy. One thing I will say, is when she sings that high, it reminds me of NICOTINEEEE🤧

who the hell approved this? the nothingburger verses, annoying chorus, terrible mixing... seriously, why does playboi carti come in sounding way louder than camila does? i was expecting this to be funny bad, but its just lame bad.

Yeah this isn't even trash pop bad, it's just flat and poorly mixed.

It's different but not all bad. Catchy. I'll be listening to the solo version though!

I really like the song itself. No idea what that feature verse was.

One of the most annoying things I've heard in a while. Sounds unfinished, lyrics are bad, vocals are worse. The rap doesn't fit to this song. Go back to generic pop music, pls.

im having fun laughing at it, though, which perhaps makes it better than if she had dropped something boring.

I like this as a whole. Definitely better than what I expected from the snippet.

This is really different for her but the song is so damn catchy. The I Luv It verse gets stuck in your head and so does the Gucci Mane sample part. I love the end of the song after she says Slow Down Baby and of course the Carti rap verse.

I like the vibe of the video, and the song is really fine, but that 'I Luv It' part is just awful.

It's grown on me since the leak (preferred it solo tbh) but it still sounds like two songs are playing at once for me lol
Great visuals though.
