The Third Single Is Only (Only Only Only) “Traffic”…

Posted on December 7, 2022September 26, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on The Third Single Is Only (Only Only Only) “Traffic”…

I thought the song title was HUMAN Traffic? That’s how it appears on all the album’s artwork. So now it is being released as a single and being referred to as only (only only only) “Traffic”?

This is such a strange decision, and I can only assume that they thought that Human Traffic was too much sounding like “human trafficking” … ? I mean, I can’t fathom what else would have brought on this change?

I dunno.

Anyway….

It can be pre-saved to the streaming/digital service of your choice so you can listen to it first thing on Friday. Links available through SM social media.

No change in the listening to the album tally for me. Still at a trio of listens and nothing since early November. A clear month has gone and nowt listens in that time.

Let’s see if it changes over the weekend…

Final thought on the change of title: it feels like the song has, in a manner of speaking, been “dehumanised”.

The mind boggles…
