Isn't it a bit obvious? "The Way" was a big hit single in the US, and failed to capture the same success anywhere else, and she was unable to get another, the album has sold 376,000 copies in the United States which really isn't that great considering her exposure. Granted, lack of actual promotion from her was a key issue, but I couldn't go on a single internet page without some advert for her.

 

PS. I'm not hating, I'm actually a huge fan of album #1.

Yours Truly has sold 422k so far, i feel like last year was more about setting a platform for her, hopefully they really go all out this era, although i have little faith in her management team :(

The problem they have is how to market her... is she a Mariah wannabe? Is she the cutesy girl from Nickelodeon? Who actually is she?

 

I hope this era proves me wrong. I do agree with your statement of marking her way in, and her AMA performance helped her a fair amount. It's a shame that "Yours, Truly" was essentially an elongated EP. It's such a good record.

How much did Yours truly sell in the UK? And I think it will eventually go GOLD in the US once album #2 is out.

 

Tbh, Her album was only released in autumn last year. 372,000 or 422,000 is not bad at all

She just posted a snippet on her instagram, it sounds so good! :w00t:

It sounds very good indeed! :wub:

It sounds great, especially the bit right at the end when the bass comes in. I hope the rap verse uses that beat! This is probably her first single that people can say doesn't sound like Mariah Carey too much lol.

I agree it's good for one hit single but I think it's silly to try and pretend there werent 2 other singles for this era

 

But anyway "Problem" sounds interesting

It sounds too shouty for me. :( I won't just judge it on that, but that clip was a bit eek for me. (Although it's nice to hear someone actually sing shout as opposed to warbling and shrilling I guess.

I think it goes very sweet sounding (her voice) to very noisy in the chorus but I think it will grow on me.

 

Shouting, wailing, yelling, her voice always sounds very sweet to me :wub:

You can listen to another preview here which lets us listen to what I assume is the chorus. It actually reminds me of 'Talk Dirty'!

it sounds f***ing atrocious. massively oversung vocals, to weird male whisperings and a horn section. total mess.

 

disappointing given she has such potential which she isn't showing with everything but the spam sink productions.

It does aswell! Hopefully she can get a decent hit with it

I'm not going to go by the clips, as they do seem weak in comparison to previous material, and I am sure her team wouldn't be putting average stuff out.

Here is a low quality live performance of the song! It sounds amazing and it definitely sounds like a song that is going to be a massive hit this summer (in the US at least :kink:)!

 

Why does she shout the hook? It's the off putting thing about this song for me (and the fact there's no proper chorus)! Everything else sounds good though, particularly Iggy's rap!

Apparently the UK release date is July 6th! I suppose it's only just over 2 months away.

The pre-order is currently at #17 on US iTunes :w00t: , why is it being released so late in the UK? i was hoping they were going to focus on getting her recognition worldwide this era.

a little better quality

She looks so young tho
