Posted March 9, 201510 yr Lena has confirmed today that 'Traffic Lights' will be the first single from her upcoming 4th album 'Crystal Sky' and it will be released on May 1st, 2 weeks prior to the album release. How exciting!! :wub: :cheer:
March 9, 201510 yr I do love lena! Can't wait to hear this. 😁 here's to hoping that she releases in the uk annnd promotes. Won't happen but you can dream! She's such a good popstar to waste!
March 11, 201510 yr Author Song in full (in low quality for now)!!! http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/lena-anti...ights-premiere/ Very Ellie, Lena has never gone this electronic before - suits her very well though. Can't wait for it in better quality :wub:
March 12, 201510 yr This is gorgeous! The Ellie comparison is so strong, there are parts where her voice is actually identical to Ellie's which is really funny but when her voice gains its distinctive "Lena-ness" the song really becomes fabulous. Musically it's very Halcyon Days Ellie but a lot better than anything Ellie's done from that period onwards. Much more instant than 'Stardust' and between this and the clip of 'We Roam' we've heard this album sounds like it'll be incredible :wub: Very happy with her taking an electronic direction.
March 12, 201510 yr I do like this new song but to be honest it sounds like it is Ellie singing and i don't think that is a good thing as there is a fine line between inspiration and sounding like a tribute act... I'm not sure which this is from the first listen but it's sounding like that latter & I'm enjoying the electronic direction but i do hope she doesn't sound like ellie on every song. Also the song has been played on radio already and it isn't on itunes until may?!
March 12, 201510 yr Author Germany are the only other country to have a similar way of releasing singles as the UK as far as I know, so they have to have a radio build-up for the highest peak possible.
March 12, 201510 yr She covered Ellie's Not Following on her debut album (and I turned it into a duet and sent it to BJSC *.*) so it's not the first time she's been inspired by Ellie.
March 12, 201510 yr She covered Ellie's Not Following on her debut album (and I turned it into a duet and sent it to BJSC *.*) so it's not the first time she's been inspired by Ellie. Also "Who'd Want to Find Love".
March 20, 201510 yr Oh wow, I'd not actually got round to listening to this when I made my last comment...it's practically an Ellie parody in the verses, is she/her producers serious? :lol:
April 2, 201510 yr Stunning art, and really happy 'We Roam' is confirmed! Wonder if it'll make the album.
April 5, 201510 yr Author Absolutely obsessed with this single now, and that's without hearing it in good quality! Could potentially become my second favourite Lena song ever, can't wait for a whole album of this electronic direction. I do wonder how big her profile still is in Germany, I hope that she will still have success. There's no pre-order or anything up on iTunes yet so there's no way of judging if she's getting any airplay or not.
April 5, 201510 yr Yeah it's so tough to try and judge stuff in Germany. I mean there isn't even official audio on YouTube but it was the exact same for 'Stardust' - I remember after two days of listening I went over a month before I could hear it again. All I know as regards her profile is she's a judge on The Voice Kids at the moment, but I've no idea if anyone actually watches that show.
April 7, 201510 yr Author I saw a German airplay chart which I think is like the main one and 'Traffic Lights' was at #52 which I guess is pretty decent for a track with 4 weeks to release. Hopefully this is a sign that the song should do well despite Lena's relatively long gap away since 'Stardust'.
April 18, 201510 yr What about its airplay now? :o German music labesl are ridiculous, there is nowhere on the internet to listen to this song right now.
April 18, 201510 yr Author I think this was the website I used: http://www.musicdna.com/de/charts/index.html It is showing Lena up 2 last week to #50. She's #59 on German Shazam chart too :kink:
April 29, 201510 yr Author The music video is released tomorrow, there's a teaser on Lena's Twitter page!
April 30, 201510 yr Author Music video! :cheer: 673WmFm8w_o Curiously, I believe that technology they use at the end of the video (with the circular things going up and down) is what they will be using in Vienna in a couple of weeks!
April 30, 201510 yr It is such a gorgeous video. Like amazingly made. By far her best video, and the ones from her last era weren't bad at all. Hope the single does well tomorrow :cry:
