May 12, 201510 yr I don't like the title or the cover but I love Hold My Hand and I liked her features on the Clean Bandit album, so I'm very much looking forward to this. :wub:
May 12, 201510 yr Pretty sure that every song will be a happy song about being on love over some generic Clean Bandit like beats. She is like a Lidl version of Katy B. I'll take that in an era full of drippy/depressing ballads thank you :)
May 12, 201510 yr Pretty sure that every song will be a happy song about being on love over some generic Clean Bandit like beats. She is like a Lidl version of Katy B. Thank god someone agrees!
May 12, 201510 yr I will definitely be interested in buying this. I have liked all her singles so far but hold my hand is my favourite.
August 17, 20159 yr This, presumably by accident, is available to buy on Irish iTunes! I've just seen the lyric video for latest instant grat 'Gave Me Something' on Jess' Facebook page, so gorgeous. :wub:
August 17, 20159 yr Reading through this topic, I like the title of the album. Before it was revealed I saw one of those in between ads interviews on 4music where they asked her to reveal something about herself that we didn't know. And she replied "I cry when I laugh". To see it as the album title makes me more fond of it. It feels like she's a friend which I'm sure was their intention. DBSHOY has been growing on me too but I'm curious to see what else she has to offer.
August 18, 20159 yr I'm not impressed by either the title or the artwork to be fair, although I will definitely listen to this. Don't Be So Hard On Yourself's artwork is much better than this one in my honest opinion.
August 18, 20159 yr This album is brilliant. Love all the tracks we are getting when you pre-order on iTunes. Hope Jess gets the record #1 on Friday aswell. :)
August 18, 20159 yr judging from the preview tracks this is going to be one of the albums of year for sure~ :heart: ^_^ Edited August 18, 20159 yr by Ethan
August 20, 20159 yr The Wikipedia page for this already states DBSHOY is a #1. Very strange. Wikipedia is therefore psychic. Edited August 21, 20159 yr by Dobbo
August 22, 20159 yr Saddest Vanilla :wub: I have in my head a single release for this with a November X Factor performance that sees Jess and Emeli standing back to back looking away from each other while performing this song before it duly rockets up to No.1, giving Jess that sixth No.1 and smashing Cheryl's record once and for all.
August 23, 20159 yr Listened to this yesterday (just as I did, Nottingham got a big downpour with rumbles of thunder, which I found amusing) and tbh, barring the singles, nothing really left much of an impression at all and I can't see what else will be a hit?. Rich's proposed 'Saddest Vanilla' situation could actually work out, I guess and maybe 'Gave Me Something' will do something, but I'd be surprised if it was as big as her previous singles. But yeah, overall very average. Which is a shame as the singles were top notch (well, most of them). DBSHOY is really hitting the spot right now though! :wub:
August 23, 20159 yr Ain't Got Far To Go jumped out to me as a strong candidate if given a proper commercial push.
August 23, 20159 yr This album is disappointing. Was hoping for more house-y tracks like 'My Love' (which is still my favorite thing which she has done - even if it's not REALLY hers) but instead all we got is tracks that are even poppier than 'Hold My Hand' and 'Don't Be So Hard on Yourself'. Nothing stands out for me. I do love the cover. One of my favorite covers of the past few years. I just wish the weird thing coming out of her eye wasn't there.
August 27, 20159 yr I quite like the album, although it's not what I expected. I was hoping for a more dancier feel to the album. I think "Saddest Vanilla"/"Ain't Too Far To Go"/"Why Me"/"Gave Me Something" would be my pick for singles at the moment. Really like "If It Ain't Right" though.
August 27, 20159 yr It's OK, at best. Some female singers are best remaining as guest vocalists as opposed to outright mega stars... although the two solo number one hits may mean I stand corrected!
September 3, 20159 yr This is all too samey and boring. She IS the saddest vanilla of the UK music scene at the moment :magic:
September 3, 20159 yr I thought the album would be more dancier - she has definitely released the strongest songs as singles so far. Take me home is a lovely ballad and crying out for release.
