Apparently the audio has been “fixed” with more Britney ?

[everybodygoesdown]

Just get real and make the demo the official one. So frustrating that it’s the better version.

Same. It’s crazy how 3 more ad-libs could really make a difference. The first “ooh baby” sets the mood, the second one says “I’m back”.

Then you look forward to the “tiny dancer” part that is very Britney but Elton gets in the way too. And the AUDACITY to add more of his vocals on her solo lines in the second verse while his lines stay solo… ugh.

The version on YouTube does sound better, or maybe we’re just crazy. 

Elton gets in the way...of his own song?

I don't hear any difference? LOL

OK-

I bought the WAV track on Qobuzz today and compared it to the WAV track that was released on Friday. There are SOME differences:

• The waveform on the new one looks like it was mastered at -1db whereas the old is mastered at 0db.
• I matched the loudness and inverted the tracks together and got a pretty interesting result. Not sure how to explain it, but essentially I think it was mastered differently.

Is that just a way to give more streams to the song? If that’s the case, I took the bait and to me it sounds exactly the same… ;-)

I don’t hear any difference. Still a bop tho

Yes, it is different. I can totally hear it too

Where are the remixes? 

[Claire MJ]

I can definitely hear the difference. Love Elton, but I was disappointed in the previous release because there was so little Britney. You can definitely hear her voice better now and overall, the song sounds better for it.

Are you referring to Spotify?

Sadly it’s what it’s happening lately with everybody - Apple Music has different standards than the others platform, and it’s very typical to have at least 3 different Masters (1 for Atmos, 1 for Apple Music, and another for the other platforms). So it makes sense that the LUFS are different and the overall master. Especially if it has done by different master engineers.

same for me tbh

Has anyone done a deep-dive assessment for the purchasable version on iTunes and if that one has seemingly changed? I'm definitely down to re-buy it (unless maybe deleting it and re-downloading it from the cloud would get me the "new" version?)

[DenisMarquina80]

I'm so happy 

[jennyj]

I didn't believe this at first because I've been hitting that replay button so much now. So I finally blasted the YouTube Music version (in the OP) and Spotify version (after clearing my cache).

I can confirm, the YouTube Music is a million times better. Not just the quality, but it's true her vocals are more prominent and even Elton sounds better during his verse. It doesn't sound like they are singing over each other. I'm guessing this is the one that Britney tweaked last minute?

But the Spotify version is still the same old one where they don't sound as good.  I even changed the setting to disable normalize volume, and cleared cache.  Sigh...

Can everyone please push them to upload the better YouTube Music version to ALL streaming platforms???
