Well the cover could be a placeholder just like in Cinderella's case and the tracklist can still change after so long, but I'll believe it for now.

Posted on Digital Spy, however, Diana has tweeted:

The article it was posted in (this one) doesn't seem to be the type of article Digital Spy write, using sources that are very vague such as the supposed iTunes leak. Very strange!

 

Diana says that isn't the artwork anyway, so that must just be a placeholder like the single artwork was! At least I finally have a high quality version of that artwork to use!

Diana has confirmed in a Twitter Q&A session that 'Music To Make Boys Cry' will be released on September 15th!!! :cheer: So so excited! :w00t:
Slightly odd release date. So 1 and a half months after the release of 'Cinderella' - can we expect another single before the album?

I think they will put out another single before the album, probably not with a music video or anything though. It'd be a great idea if her label made 'Music To Make Boys Cry' the iTunes free song of the week seeing as it has already been given away free back in December 2011 as well as giving more publicity to the album it comes from, especially seeing as its the title track!
Yeah i was thinking it was such a short time after Cinderella being released!! I wouldnt mind it being pushed back one more month just so the second single isnt rushed out straight after Cinderella

Just seen this as Digital Spy's Music headline!!! :cheer:

 

How is Diana Vickers's new album shaping up? - Review

 

The answer is quite good, judging from the five-track sampler we received in the post today.

 

Before we get into the songs, it's worth mentioning that as well as collaborating with synth-pop producer David Gamson (Kelly Clarkson, Ke$ha), Vickers has also teamed up with Xenomania lyricist Miranda Cooper - the woman behind Girls Aloud's biggest hits.

 

Here's what Diana had to say about it: "I met her when I was writing with Donkeyboy in London and they were writing a song called 'Cinderella'. I walked into the writing session and all I heard was the mega '80s pop going on and I was just like, 'oh my God'. I literally was going through the corridor and I put my bags down and they were all dancing, so we finished 'Cinderella' and it was amazing and the next thing I knew we were in Norway working on Music To Make Boys Cry. It went from there."

 

Brilliant. Now to the music.

 

1. 'Cinderella'

It's her new single so you've probably already heard it, but 'Cinderella' is proving to be one of those songs where you forget how good the chorus is until it's blasting out of your speakers/headphones/other listening device at that very moment. We're not sure what that means for its eventual chart position, but let's all have another listen to the song now.

 

See what we mean?

 

Rating: 4/5

 

2. 'Music To Make Boys Cry'

Another song that Vickers fans will already have heard after she whacked it online last December. It's since gone through all the usual mixing and mastering, but like 'Cinderella', it's another slice of twinkly '80s pop that generates a feeling of warmth and fuzziness inside that few could pull off without sounding trite.

 

Rating: 4/5

 

3. 'Lightning Strikes'

As the title suggests, it's a song about having a moment of realisation that you can do that thing you've always to do but haven't quite got around to doing yet. It's less '80s-sounding than the previous two tracks, but equally as feel-good and about five times as breezy. It also contains a ridiculously addictive hook not too dissimilar to "Hey-na-na-na-na" in Dario G's 'Sunchyme'.

 

Rating: 4/5

 

4. 'Dead Heat'

Stabbing synths, a wistful melody and electronic bleeps not far off something you'd expect to hear on the Drive soundtrack put Diana back in '80s territory. "Without you I'm just puzzle with a missing piece" she confesses, before suggesting on the chorus that she would give up breathing for love. It's just our opinion, but we'd say that was probably a bit much.

 

Rating: 4/5

 

5. 'Mad At Me'

Instantly our favourite of the lot. With its high-wired electro-swizzles, drum-thumping chorus and lyrics about kissing people you really shouldn't it sounds like a cross between '80s icons Samantha Fox and Tiffany. If this isn't a number one by this time next year, we'll be having words.

 

Rating: 5/5

 

The good news is that it's a very promising start to an album that, this time last year, we didn't think would see the light of day. The bad news is that it doesn't come out until September 16.

If you listen to Diana's interview on BBC Radio Derby here, you can listen to the following!

 

The numbers in bold is at what time in the radio programme each event happens:

 

1:11.20 Interview with Diana begins

1:15.50 'Cinderella' is played

1:25.00 Part of 'Dead Heat' from new album is played

1:28.40 Part of the new album version of 'Music To Make Boys Cry' is played

 

'Dead Heat' sounds fantastic and loving the slight changes that have been made to 'Music To Make Boys Cry'. :wub:

Yeah i wasnt sure about Dead Heat when she sang it live, but love the studio version and the lyrics are fantastic!!

 

"It's not a matter of life and death but if i had to choose between love and death i'd sacrifice the sun, i wouldn't have to think, forever's a hell of a long time without you"

 

Here's the snippet

I agree, 'Dead Heat' sounds fantastic! I can't wait to hear the full song! :wub:

She's playing at Party In The Park in Leeds on the 28th of July!

 

Went last year when it was free but they're charging £10 this year <_<

Diana is putting out a second single just before the album is released and with a music video :) she tweeted last week that she was shooting the second music video so I'm assuming her label aren't expecting 'Cinderella' to stick around in the charts for long (which is realistic of them) so it may be announced fairly quickly!

Yeah I read her tweet last week that she was filming a new music video! And it looks like it will be Music To Make Boys Cry, so its a great choice for album promotion and its good that they are going to try and keep the momentum going with a second single less than 2 months after 'Cinderella'.

Diana has confirmed that 'Break My Fall' which was written by Lana Del Rey will not be on the album according to this article. This means that the track listing we found a couple of months ago must not be true!
