This is only my 2nd listen to these songs, I listened to them once when they were initially released on Soundcloud but didn't really pay much attention to them. Here's my ratings based on the 2nd listen where I paid more attention to the songs.

Fever Blisters - 9/10

Razor Baby - 5/10

I've Got My Problems - 8/10

Southern Girls - 8/10

Give It All To You - 8/10

Keep Me Satisfied - 7/10

So Sad About Us - 8/10

I Can't Make It On Time - 6.5/10

As Tears Go By - 6.5/10

Million Miles Away - 7/10

I Am Rock - 8/10

Everything's ok on Spotify here, just listened to the eps

What the hell the ep shows up in your link but the play button is greyed out and there are no tracks listed. I search the eps and see a title but when you select it says playlist is empty. ☹️

If they're not there for you, then they might be after midnight

Anyone else reminded of Angel Blue when listening to I've Got My Problems? What a little gem of a song. Such classic Billie with the "I (the man) am a mess, she (the woman) has it together and is my saviour" thing haha.

Similar to "I'm a mess and you're a work of art" line from Fell for You.

Totally! And "you're a princess I'm a fucking clown" in Angel Blue. And "I'm a curse hanging around you" in Jinx, "well now you're stuck with me" in Do Da Da, "I'm a rough boy round the edges...she's my weakness, fucking genius" in Youngblood etc, there's probably loads of examples of it.

Well, I'm a girl, still a mess, and I'm waiting for my prince to come... :rolleyes: and if I comprehend well from Billie's example I should be seeking for a prince that "has it together". Not easy, they all seem to be taken!

I'm loving the songs even more after several listens. Same as what usually happens to me with GD (and all Billie) songs. 

My favorite is definitely Give it All to You. The way Billie sings "and give you all I have" (at the end of the first verse) really crushes my heart :cry: :wub:. Amazing Billie can get us addicted with some of these songs that are so short (I'm also notably thinking of Fever Blisters and Keep Me Satisfied). It's an incitement to hear them in repeat. Therefore, as they're short, you get to listen to them a greater number of times in the same amount of time, compared to most GD songs... that being said, the only songs I can listen to in repeat indefinitely (there are not so many!) are some GD songs. Give it All to You not being very far from it. 

As for Razor Baby and Southern Girls, they would be among my least favorites, and from what I've read I'm not alone here; but while they may not be as emotionally moving as the others, they're still very enjoyable. I could fall asleep while listening to them in repeat; that being said in a positive way. :P

Oh I love Southern Girls! Interesting choice of cover, totally different from anything else he's done. I like the sultry way he sings it :D, I think someone said it reminded them of T.Rex and I agree.

Yeah I agree.....I love Southern Girls.....I know it’s a cover but I actually think it has potential as a single or would sound good on a tv/movie/advert soundtrack.
