Do Ya Thing would be marvelous I'd say.

WE ALL WANT THAT... CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, ETC.

 

Complete it and make it the fourth single, just in time for Spring.

Where Have You Been? is the best choice for the next single but it needs a remix. It has potential but its a bit sonically weak.

every song on the album apart from TTT is growing on me a whole lot now. I'm hooked on 'watch 'n' learn' in particular, which was my inital least favourite! :o

She's finishing "Birthday Cake".

'Farewell' as a single next, please. I think it could have similar success to 'California King Bed'.

What? You mean a middling hit here in the UK and a massive flop over in the US? :heehee: But I think 'Farewell' would do what 'Fire Bomb' shoulda and coulda done! I'm still bitter at that not getting released :drama:

US aside, I think it did ok for a fourth single which is probably what 'Farewell' would be.

'We Found Love', the title track and 'Where Have You Been' are the only three singles on this album really. They should've just had those in mind and forget the rest ever happened.

I agree, TTT is far from my fave but along with WHYB it's really the only option. I really like Cockiness, Farewell, Watch N Learn and Drunk On Love too but they wouldn't work. Maybe Roc Me Out as a final single after WHYB if all goes well but she's a bit limited, which points to an inevitable re-release :drama:

I'm thinking it will surface on her birthday :D

Although I'm glad she's finishing it and we'll get to hear Birthday Cake in full, I'm still quite annoyed it wasn't finished for the album in the first place.

Without caring enough to find the appropriate topic I wanted to state that Talk That Talk (single) is epic. That's all really.

Heard 'Cockiness (Love It)' out last night. Sounds amazing in a club.

 

 

 

If they do have to push for a 5th single after Talk That Talk and Where Have You Been, I do think 'Cockiness (Love It)' would actually be the best choice.

If any of us handed in a work assignment this late we'd be fired. Not cool RiRi.

I think Birthday Cake will become fourth/fifth single. She has suggested it on Twitter and has asked about who we would like to feature on it. I've seen a few articles saying Christina Aguilera.

 

Whether Birthday Cake is fourth or fifth the other will be Where Have You Been.

 

After that I hope she takes at least a year's break because people will get bored of her if she is constantly releasing music and videos.

I think she also said on Twitter that she wanted a male artist to be on 'Birthday Cake'. I think Drake would be most likely.

Not Drake, please. I've had enough of them two. Anytime I hear of them doing a collab, I thnk of all the dirty things they'd get up to in the studio :P

Perhaps Tinie Tempah?

I actually don't think this album's that weak. There aren't a lot of stand out singles, bar 'We Found Love' and 'Where Have You Been' but Talk That Talk and Roc Me Out could work as singles if they have good music videos (Roc Me Out reminds me of her work from early eras but that's not a bad thing.) Drunk On Love may work at a push but all these tracks plus farewell are good, and I haven't got the album, nor have I listened to it a lot.

 

We'll see if she can recover after YDO with TTT. I think it might do moderately better and it is single material, but it's not a smash so I really can't call it!
