Behind The Wall
Bonnie McKee: The 2010s Songwriter - Behind the Wall (Ep. 11)

But I remember like the label calling and being like, look like this pop stuff just like isn't happening anymore. Like Lorde is happening. Like you need to do something more like Royals. And I was like, oh, you mean like the song that stole my Grammy? Okay. Und die Sachen, die ich gemacht habe, waren maximalistische, sparklige Popmusik. Und sie sagten, ja, nein, die Dinge verändern sich.

Also werden wir nicht mehr Geld dahinter legen. Und ich war so, okay, aber ich habe schon dieses ganze Album gemacht. Und es ist großartig. Und, übrigens, es gibt noch ein Leben für diese Songs. Aber ich war so, okay, fuck this. Also habe ich meinen Manager angerufen und war so, ich will raus. Ich mache das nicht wieder. Ich hatte bereits einen schrecklichen Rekordeal.

Ich will nicht festgehalten werden. Wenn sie nicht die Vision bekommen, dann ist das nicht der Ort für mich. So luckily he got me out of the deal and I went and made an EP of four songs called Bombastic because I didn't own the masters for that American Girl album. So there's nothing I could do. So I was devastated because I love these songs. They were some of the best that I'd ever written.

So I went and made the Bombastic EP and it was my first independent release and that was super liberating for me. But I was still really heartbroken about those songs. So fast forward, I just in the past few years on TikTok, I would be, you know, talking about making new music and I kept seeing all these comments that were like, we want Slay. Wir wollen Forever 21, wir wollen Hot City.

All diese Songs, die ich auf der Tour gespielt habe. Und ich dachte mir, wie wissen sie diese Songs überhaupt? Es war keine große Tour, aber es gab diese Lore über dieses uneröffnete Album. Und dann habe ich ein Forum online gefunden, das 500 Seiten lang ist. Oh mein Gott.

all these kids talking about this unreleased album and they're trading demos and they're talking about the different writers and who they think the songs are about and all of this stuff. And I was like, oh my God, like these kids really care. And I still care about this. Like 10 years later, I still was just like so heartbroken that they never saw the light of day. So I was like, you know what?
