he's just talking about his own submission, he never once spoke about the album as a whole, that's a conclusion that either Capital or Popjustice came to based on what Ryan said about his own work.
why is everyone acting like he's trying to put words in Beys mouth or act like he knows everything?
Not surprised to hear this tbh. There was obviously a reason why we haven't heard anything concrete about the album after that window of massive promo passed, this explains why.
