QUOTE(Juan Carlos @ Jul 9 2020, 01:06 PM)  "Teary Eyes" is track #3 on the album and it's scheduled to be pushed as the next single (after "Smile") in September. Is 'Smile' a promo single between that? |

I really don't like the cover. It's probably only an issue for the UK market but it just makes me think of Red Nose Day. Orlando shoulda said something!

Red Nose Day was the first thing I thought of when I saw it
 That and Take That's 'The Circus' |

Release date is 14th August, which is the same day as Biffy Clyro so I think she'll miss out on the #1 here
Biffy's last album opened with 37k, Witness opened with 16.1k |

All the tracks' lengths are up on iTunes, and guess what? They are painfully short (bar Never Really Over, of course). The closing track clocks at 2:12. Eek!

They're really not particularly short for pop album tracks in 2020, 8/12 are over 3 minutes which doesn't say anything these days. |

I personally don't have any issue with the time lengths right now, given that we've not heard them yet to be able to judge whether they make sense being the lengths they are. Sometimes a song is great for being short and sweet!
~ I've pre-ordered the Deluxe CD (Lenticular Fan Edition) and the Spotify Exclusive vinyl

Despite not having Spotify for five months I am also classed as a top listener :') I deffo prefer the picture disk over the Spotify custard vinyl and they're the same price so yeah, if anyone wants the 'Spotify Exclusive' in my place the link is here x

It’s kinda the new norm now for tracks to be shorter for some reason! Arianas thank u, next and Gagas Chromatica for instance have tracks which are kinda short in length. It’s better for streaming sites supposedly but it’s unfortunately just the way music is at present. Maybe they’ll be good tracks though who knows. What’s on the deluxe what isn’t on the standard? I may have missed this. 12 tracks feels quite good for an album tbh. I’m still not sold on that cover I like the concept behind it though I just keep picturing Red Nose Day though the font is worst thing though that Smile text in huge letters on the bottom. I’d like it more as a textless cover but trying not to focus on album artwork as sometimes fantastic covers doesn’t mean great albums and then there’s cases of brilliant albums with meh covers. Not long to go until this is is fully out though! |

I like the artwork - while it appears sub-standard it's clever but it's hardly offensive.
She's more or less proven her point already going by some reactions :')

I like the album cover too! I think the use of font is very bold - it commands your attention and it's different to the norm.
Here's another photo from the shoot: |

"Small Talk" and "Never Worn White" are included in the Fan Edition of the album.
QUOTE(Tawdry Hepburn @ Jul 9 2020, 08:17 AM) Is 'Smile' a promo single between that? Not really. The title track is going to be the third single and "Teary Eyes" will be the fourth.

I wouldn't be mad if they tacked 365 on there too.

I think she should be able to get a top 3 debut tbh. Sales will be around Witness or slightly lower which would be enough for top 3 in today’s charts.
Can’t see her missing the top ten. |

Witness included a top 5 hit, was following a much more successful era and was released in a better time. But even if her opening week sales halved, that would still have been enough for top 3 last week so fair do's.

Yeah you need 4k to get top 10, if Katy actual Perry couldn’t get that through Buzzjack sales alone I’d be shook
 IIRC Witness was only on pre-order a few weeks before it was released and far less fan bundles. This has a good month of pre-order and all the bundles should hopefully mean she can scrape 10k at least.

I think she’ll be on around 12k this time. That’s my prediction.
I think there’ll be some people buying multiple copies with the different formats what will help her and she should also stream quite good too. |
