  1. I don’t care either way if she performs at ESC - a great perf to watch if she does, no loss if she doesn’t. I personally doubt that it will have much promo effect (see Super Bowl vs gmayl and MDNA).

    My issue is that it’s in Israel and that this particular ESC is already contentious. I fear it will play into negative connotations of her tone deafness with certain issues that are already widespread about her.

  2. I kind of wonder if she changed direction with the album again like the trajectory of RH. All those political demos (freedom, revolution, god is love) and Avicii and then a shift to ever changing, contemporary sounds.

    I believe that via Vogue Italia, music was pencilled in for 2018 but then she’s changed gears hence the delay... it’s happened before most notably with ROL.

    Of of course this is all based on drips of info and a whole lotta presumptions from my rear end.

    i was literally creaming myself at the thought of a cool, dark Mirvais Vs Portuguese opus but I feel like this has slipped far away. If it even existed at all.

    If she's looking to sell albums and concert tickets, and I'm assuming she still is, then she could/should do every single show going. A few months of hard graft promo won't kill her. Get on it Madge!

    Yes! A proper PR campaign and some smart whoring et voila!

    No one is above tv shows these days. The way they are reformatted to be streamed via YouTube shows that.

  4. Some of you talk about the leaks like it’s a thing of the past. If indeed the album is due to be released in April (🙄)  then there is still plenty of time for the campaign to be sabotaged... its 4 months away. 

    I don’t mean to sound like a negative nelly but I’m not convinced her team has suddenly changed on that front. Perhaps I’m burned by RH but the closer we get to the release and the more publicly she talks about her music, the more paranoid I get about the album or demos being leaked.

  5. Not really a fan of this type of music but this is EXACTLY the type of features she should be doing, and should have been doing for years instead of having her lead singles as collabs.

    i agree with what others have said - her part is really catchy, which is great.

    I didn’t know what to expect before I listened but honestly, my heart swelled hearing her sing something brand new... the hunger is real!

  6. Not to mention it’s for a horse race... which to many equals animal cruelty considering all the dodgy shit that happens to those animals.

    I was disgusted. It’s not time square. I’m so sick of how marketing/advertising permeates so much of our visuals and people just accept it.

    im glad the protester crowd were out in force but unfortunately it’s a case of conservatives just thinkining they’re all ‘snowflakes’. And they always flip this narrative into how city people and the art crowd are elitists. We live in such an anti intellectual world it scares me.

     

  7. I don’t think a surprise release would work for M. It could actually work against her in terms if she dropped it out of the blue and it sold poorly.

    She needs a bit of a buzz campaign... Not a long drawn out affair, but at least a month worth of proper hype for the GP ala ‘Madonna is Returning’

    It’s been a rough few weeks, I think we all need to refocus on the fact that she is working with MIRWAIS on this album and it’s going to be amazing...if it ever comes out. 

    Such a shame considering the weeks preceding her 60th were so publicly and critically joyous. If anything it shows that people WANT to love her but for whatever factor they hold back. Although if she released something amazing...

    And let’s not beat around the (Maureen McFarland) bush. We loved our girl getting the kudos she deserved in most of her ‘60th’ articles... and we would love to see the same type of print focused on new music too. There’s no shame in it.

    That type of press and general consensus is what made her renaissance era (1996-2002) so fucking amazing as a fan.

  9. Don’t get me wrong, I really want her to release the album this year but I don’t understand some of you holding on to the Vogue Italia quote as verbatim.

    Didnt she do an interview in when Rebel Heart was being recorded saying the album was going to be political, and then that completely changed?
