Ooh, same! She did that with a few of the tracks on Bionic leading up to its release.
She knows she needs this album to be a success for her to still be relevant. I think she still has a few big tricks up her sleeves.
me too and i'm not really worried about her except for the AMA's performance, i don't want her to over-sing to be honest, she can control it if she wants to
I have a good feeling her team know what they're doing with this record. Although right now this album still seems totally unhyped I know that with the promo she has lined up soon that she is going to reel in sales and gain back old fans and gain new ones with her performances. Her voice is much better now, I think. During Bionic, Christina seemed to be a tad let down by her voice IMO.

I wasn't expecting the Lotus Intro to be that long! And I wish we got a 5 min long song or something longer than 4:13. Too many short songs too. But I'm SO EXCITED!
Damn, if that intro is over three minutes, it better start the album off on a good note! The intros for Stripped and Back To Basics were both only around 1:45.

That's what I thought when I first saw the time. But every mention of it has had "(Intro)" tagged along with it. Bionic (the track, not the album) never had that, so I guess it's just a really, really long introduction.
Tbh I'm just praying she'll deliver us another batch of KILLER bridges. Girl always knows how to SLAY a bridge. Especially in Bionic. The NMT, Glam & Prima Donna bridges >>>>. Also let's not forget iconic bridges like The Voice Within and Fighter.
Bitch needs to get LOOSE in this album and SINGGGG.
I'm thinking maybe it's mostly instrumental. I mean I know that Christina has said she sings on it but maybe she only sings for a small portion. That can be my only theory as to how its over 3 mins but still called an intro.
She worked with many unknown producers/songwriters (a guy from a british band, people who worked with M83 or maybe they were just credited by the sample etc), what makes me more excited
Yep, the intro is long. We knew it since Listening Party reviews
I would think the deluxe cover has to be slightly different but maybe not.
