[ALBUM] AL8 Speculation Thread

This looks so random. What is it and where did you find it and why is there a random word in my mother tongue hahaha

She's keeping the rule
Every month a new magazine cover

She's probably going to be vague again if she even mentions the album. Doesn't seem like she wants go give away too much this time

Idk if I'm necessarily concerned about AL8 because she's seemed "bored" in the few public appearances she's had. It's not exactly unheard of for her to seem bored when talking about upcoming music even when there's actually something concrete to promote. Promotion for AL8 hasn't even started yet. And her public appearances have been, what, a few surprise performances (most of which have been as a feature) and PFW? She's laying pretty low, and for someone who often doesn't come across as enthusiastic when she's TRYING to promote stuff and seem excited, I'm not at all worried that she seems bored when she's not even promoting anything. What DOES have me worried for AL8 is that she's apparently still writing. I think that's been the core issue from GL onward, regardless of whether it's because the label forced it or she wanted to keep going. It's like she writes the initial album about the breakup, and then as she seems to be wrapping up that initial round of songs, she gets in a new relationship and is like "well now that I'm writing about this, I need to include some of these songs on the album too!" Every. Single. Time. Rinse and repeat. She's always writing, which is fine cause it's clearly her hobby in addition to her career, but somebody should tell her that just cause she's writing songs she's excited about, doesn't mean they have to go on the album she was just about to finish.

I love her, but by the time she gets around to releasing the album we're lucky if she even still relates to half the songs. And again, it's fine that she gets bored easily and always wants to move on to the next shiny thing (relationships, songs, etc) but she's gotta release the album while she's still excited about the songs. In this age of streaming, it honestly makes more sense for her to put out like short 5-7 song albums as she writes them. And then tour every other album... might be a way for her to actually play the new songs too lol.

I love the way they both treat each other. How Whibley respects her today. And how she seemed so happy working with him on TBDT.

If GL was dedicated to Whibley, this woman loved it dearly.

But I'm also happy that she talking about "new music today."
