Appearance On Best Of Comps: 1 (Eyes Wide Open, 2017) (Do not get me started on his snubs, let's get the obvious out of the way EVERYTHING ON 2021 was snubbed HARD. Along with everything for 2024 & 2019. For 2018 both Rituals & Machine, Autumn Leaves for 2022, City & Empty Promises for 2020. For 2023 however I think I might have to go with So Absurd)
Fun Facts:
-BXU EP has a sequel called BXU 2 which was released off labeled
-Sophie Rose was uncredited on all platforms where "Eyes Wide Open was released, except Spotify. (Although she was uncredited on all platforms, on COTW177 and COTW178, her name was said by Angela Way when this song came on. Her name appeared again on COTW180.)
-4 lines of the lyrics are seen below the track title on the cover art for "Empty Promises" (The first line only shows the lyric "e conversations" that is not a full lyric. The full lyric containing these are "After all these conversations would result in nothing".)
-"Worst Behavior" marked the last song to have the Monstercat visualizer in the middle of the screen
"We Made It" is the 1500th single on the label
Initially the "microceleberty LP" revealed was shown to have 13 songs instead of 12 (my thoughts is that I think "We Made It" was supposed to be on here)
Me Personally...............If you were to show me a comparison between his whole discography I would have not guess that these would be all made by the same artist. Bishu is just one of a kind. His style still feels like it's evolving and he has made a fantastic name for himself on the label and even though i still crave for that 2021 feel to comeback, i still appreciate the effort he put in all of his songs. Til this day Fall To Pieces has always been one of my favorite songs for 2021. BUT what do yall think about Bishu.
(Idk y but the enemy that has been outta my head for the past few month got me thinking about a machine that was able to get to know you by searching your blind spots behind you eyes. Even in a do or die situation it felt like a habit to feel so lonely in a cage away from a city that spread the autumn leaves. But we made it happen and soon the worst behavior will fall to piece and not only hurt you but hurt me too aswell.) (HOLY YAP SESSION ok spot the amount of Bishu refrences)
