I think it's not always a cheap trick. I think it's fine honestly. Like, why orphan a great song? I do think it's sad if a song is forced onto an album it doesn't fit, but that's not always the case. Sam also had their album very delayed which makes it seem worse.
Anyway, super excited for their album cause I loved all the others.
I'm a little nervous it won't be too great (relatively) because Ari has so many other big songs, but hopefully it's at least a 200k-300k boost.
