GOD I LOVE HER

[Suomi]

god i love 110%

[ameraal]

you can preorder and preview the tracks on devotion
i haven't but ever since i saw the video for wildest moments i've had a feeling she is going to be huge

it's not up there with the first two but it's a mega hit in waiting if i ever heard one

love her

[funky]

I am FEVERISH for this album

She's actually overtaking SS on my pop queen radar

[Crash]

It's also Grimmy's RECORD OF THE WEEK on Radio 1

[Johnkm]

[funky]

"Sweet Talk" and "Taking In Water" sound SUBLIME

[Kevin]

Live performance of Wildest Moments.

[Kevin]

Did Wildest Moments flop?

[funky]

I doubt it will do anything anyway, but it's only just been added to the Radio 1 playlist.

I imagine the album will do quite well.

[Johnkm]

Did someone call for another single?



Once again, she strikes gold. I need the album RIGHT NOW.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

I actually think the album could do REALLY REALLY WELL. In a similar way the Rebecca Ferguson one did. It's not really aimed at people buying the singles but most of them will be intrigued enough to investigate in the album based on the strength of the material so far.

[funky]

Wildest moments is now charting on ITunes; it's about #40.

I'm sure it'll go top 75 on Sunday.

[Win_the_game]

The Guardian is currently streaming the album for free folks - http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musi...n-album-stream

It's fucking fabulous.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Yup, it's MARVELLOUS.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Let me rephrase that. It's BLOODY MARVELLOUS. The attention to detail in production is heartwarming.

[POP!]

"Wildest Moments" and "110%" are stunning

The production is so rich

[funky]

I don't think there is a song on this album I don't like.

Definitely a contender for album of the year, in a year of great albums...

[Apocalypt_flyer]

God I've listened to this album at least 7 times over the past 2 days. It's magical.

08 Devotion
10 Wildest Moments
09 Running
07 Still Love Me
08 No To Love
06 Night Light
08 Swan Song
10 Sweet Talk
09 110%
09 Taking In Water
08 Something Inside

There really isn't a BAD TRACK on it.

[Kevin]

Night Light a 6? It's my favourite and I hope it'll be the next single.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Yeah, I didn't want to give everything a 10 or a 9 and realistically is the one that's clicked 'the least' with me. So far anyways. Ask me again in a few weeks.

It's all about Sweet Talk if we're talking possible next single. One of the songs of the YEAR and NO MISTAKE.

[Molicious]

<3 THIS BITCH

[COB]

Having my first listen just now, so far I'm loving it - now admittedly I'm a bit FRAGILE tonight but Night Light made me cry

[COB]

Taking In Water... CHRIST, I think this might be too much for me to handle tonight

[funky]

this album is miracuous. I have no words.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

It's been Top10 on itunes all day. So FAR so GOOD. #6 for the basic version, #7 for the deluxe edition.

[lolly]

Downloaded this last night. Almost too for words. I think Wildest Moments is my song of the year.

Are the bonus tracks worth downloading individually? I bought the standard version for a fiver from amazon, so don't have any of them.

[lolly]

Did we know she's on tour soon?

Wed 7th Nov
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut
Glasgow

Thu 8th Nov
Sound Control
Manchester

Fri 9th Nov
The Cockpit
Leeds

Sun 11th Nov
The Rescue Rooms
Nottingham

Mon 12th Nov
Concorde 2
Brighton

Tue 13th Nov
Electric Brixton
London

Wed 14th Nov
Thekla
Bristol

I bet I won't be able to find anyone to go with me. And it's not the sort of venue (a fairly small room on a boat) where I'd be comfortable going on my own

She played Rough Trade East today as well.

[COB]

Are they all TINY venues? I know King Tut's is, so I'll be booking that quite soon I think

[lolly]

The Bristol one certainly is. It's a downstairs room on this boat (complete with a Banksy on its side)

the acoustic tracks are gorgeous but you're not missing too much. The other track is a cover which I'm sure is available for free in various corners of the internet. They've been quite generous in their pre-album seeding and it seems to have worked.

There's also the Disclosure remix of "Running" which is very different to the original but totally works in its own completely unique way (which is exactly what remixes should do)... it's more like a Juliet Roberts / Alison Limerick number from 1991.

[Molicious]

OMG - need to go to this !

[Molicious]

(the LDN one)

[Apocalypt_flyer]

l'll pray to God she'll do something as low key over here.

Bonus download only tracks get right on my nerves. Acoustic stuff and remixes are fine, but Strangest Feeling was a bloody single.

I thought Wildest Moments might do a bit better, though for some reason I had convinced myself that Running had charted too.

[bypass]

Album #5 in the midweeks.

Sales might be dire at the moment but still, not bad considering the lack of a proper hit

I really hope she sells well in long run.

[Johnkm]

I am loving the album

Still Love Me and No To Love aren't really up to the same level as most of the rest for me, but still perfectly passable. I would LOVE to see her live at some point.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

I think all those little live/acoustic things she's doing (in store, radio two with jo whiley last night etc.) are REALLY keeping the album afloat. And word of mouth of course.

[lolly]

Is it really afloat, though? It's already dropped to #12 and #21 on iTunes from both being comfortably inside the top 10 at the start of the week. I very much doubt she'll hold that midweek position in the final chart.

I think she'll follow the recent Ren Harvieu/Lianne La Havas/Delilah fall of a few places from the midweek, and then significant to BIG drop the week after. And off the chart completely relatively quickly, unless a single really crosses over.
