@rileyhykes I wish I had gone into a live show sooner but it was the Jones Beach hometown show on the GSP tour

It was such a beautiful night and the boats came in alongside the venue to listen and chill which was so sick. It’s one of the coolest outdoor venues and I’m glad he practically filled the stadium!

@yeah123 oh good point — I thought it would be the full album announcement with the official release / first listen being on here but that makes sense!

@User12261990 the real question now is if the fandom / street team’s now called the Beautiful Hivemind cus WE ARE ONE

@User12261990 if it’s “Oasis in 2077” I’m so curious on approach lol

@User12261990 make it as high def as humanly possible, wanna see this video in 8K on an OLED screen

@Isaac lol he’s planning something big time ya just gotta be patient with the man

The lead up to the GSP rollout was AGONIZING until the drops started happening. Then it was like my favorite mangaka dropping weekly banger chapters of my favorite manga week after week, it never stopped lol

Check this video out, goes into the process of how Jimin cut the record, the demo was already put together when Jon got into the studio with him

@danpurcell YALL WHAT DOES ROSS KNOW

@GabbyW0205 I would also imagine since he said we’d “get everything here first” there’s a chance whatever new song it is might show up on here at some point officially before it hits streaming

@danpurcell I also don’t think he’d just remove Kid Again from streaming if he wasn’t at least announcing something soon

@jake.meredith_ if anything it’s an announcement of the album with then weekly releases following.

That’s how it happened with GSP, the announcement happened on a Wednesday during the day, we got nothing that subsequent Friday, then Conversations dropped the following week.

I’d assume when it starts it’ll follow this sort of rollout form.

Not sure if this means anything but And the Writer Is just posted this snippet of an interview with Jon way back from the post-GSP days hahaha

Not sure if Ross Golan has the inside track to something or what

In certain instances if US artists wanted a release to be a surprise, they’ll delay the release to 12am US time

I expected just an announcement maybe with the first single posted directly here in the forum, but never say never!

@User12261990 OHO SHIT YES LETS GO JON IM READY

@GabbyW0205 the weird thing is that it’s not listed under “singles” on his artist profile

I do wonder if it means whatever the new single ends up being will be sorted into the official track order for the album on Apple Music, and Kid Again will just show up under the name of the album + the new single

Spotify I think gives you a bit more flexibility in how it’s all organized

@user1234 for some reason I thought this post was about the game theory behind Sonic the Hedgehog

@Joe3822 i think you can only pin topics for like a week on here, so it expires a week from the point in time when he pins the post

Tangled Webs and PPD were posts on his old Twitter and IG accounts

The others I assume come from dbree, where random people who have access to demos / old versions of songs upload said versions online. HUVY & others repost it on YouTube and SoundCloud.

As for WHO the leaker is? Probably some assistant who works for an A&R tbh, I doubt it’s actually anyone on the Beautiful Mind side.

@Skitz I think that’s just how long you can pin something for, idk if we should read that far into it

When it comes it comes

@User12261990 tweaking the snare is the most mind numbing task and yet somehow you know when it’s EXACTLY right lmao
