Considering how similar this is to "Hummingbird" (one of my highlights of the last album), I don't know why I'm finding it so hard to click with this. It's "nice", but nothing more than that really. I can see why they'd pick it as a single, it's much moer cheery sounding than the lyrics/production of the rest of the album, but it's almost too boring for her. (but then I thought that about "Parachute")

'Under The Sun' is a highlight and an obvious single. Get out Aaron.

It is an obvious single, but I'd rank it about midtable on the album. I see that it's quite catchy, but it almost sounds lame in comparison to a lot of the album.

 

1. Call My Name

2. Screw You

3. Under The Sun

4. Girl In The Mirror

5. A Million Lights

 

That would be the ideal single release order, but I can see why "Under The Sun" would be released now, being summer and all. "Girl In The Mirror" could (and probably will) be skipped, but I think the others are essential and likely single choices.

'A Million Lights' would be lovely. It'd show people a new side after the dancier first 3 singles and show people she CAN actually release a damn good ballad. ('The Flood' obviously didn't connect with members of the public).

Considering her vocals on 'A Million Lights' are pretty dire, I doubt she'd release it as a single (although I may have mixed it up with another ballad). But then I thought that about 'The Flood'.

I think her voice is alright on "A Million Lights". It uses her lower range, so it's a lot more tolerable than a lot of her other ballads. I love the production too, I thought it was Alex da Kid at first, but he produced "Under The Sun" instead. If she has to release a ballad this era, "A Million Lights" is the only sensible choice.

yea i agree with you about her vocals on that track. The song would be so much better with a stronger vocal

01. Call My Name

02. Under The Sun

03. Mechanics Of The Heart

04. Girl In The Mirror

05. Ghetto Baby (Remix Feat. Lana Del Rey :kink:)

 

Perfect singles.

Great choice of second single, it's one of my favourites on the album.

 

A Million Lights has to be a single at some point.

She just tweeted that she is in rehearsal for the video! Such a shame, would have preferred screw you

I wouldn't be surprised to see Screw You as a single at some point in the future, TBH. I'd say the same if that was single #2 about Under The Sun.

 

Good choice I think, not as good as Call My Name (but nothing on the album is IMO ;)) but it'll most likely (hopefully) give her a top ten single.

Yeah, this has just been confirmed as second single on her website, just incase of any doubters.

Not impressed that it's not scheduled for full release until September 10th. :drama:

Well to be fair, that is only three months after "Call My Name"'s release, and it's obviously going to be high up the charts in mid-August, or at least once the video's out (which will be a few weeks before 10 September).

 

After a few listens of the album, it's definitely my preferred choice of next single out of the two fan-favourites. "Screw You" is missing something for me, but I'm sure I'll love it soon enough.

I'm not getting the hate for this. Obviously 'Screw You' is the fan favourite (which I do love) but I think this is a good choice for the second single, it has a great vibe.

 

I think 'Mechanics of the Heart' needs to be released at some point, I prefer it over 'A Million Lights'.

Single cover apparently :wub:

That's just the screencap of the YouTube album track video! The official video's apparently out on Monday, but I think that's just a rumour as it's far too early for a post-album single due for full release in September.
