February 5, 20169 yr It doesn't make sense for the impact date to be next week as we have no music video and no Radio 1 playlisting, Radio 1 will at least C-list it if not more - Sax was one of the biggest singles of the last 6 months whether they like it or not. So Capital are way too quick to drop it, I still think Radio 1 will playlist it at some point. I know this thread is pretty apocalyptic already but I don't feel like it's particularly out of character for Radio 1 to go from hammering one obvious success to ignoring the followup straight away? No examples immediately come to mind but Radio 1 tend to ignore an obvious flop no matter what's came before it, unless they are particularly fond of the artist. And I don't get the impression that they care about Fleur at all.
February 6, 20169 yr I wouldn't say More and More is an obvious flop, it keeps popping into the iTunes top 100 on the back of just Capital airplay and while that isn't the sign of a future top 10, it could be in contention to be a future top 40 at least on iTunes. But the thing for me is that it doesn't make sense to have the impact date being next week yet the music video is only being filmed now? That says to me that Syco have got their release strategy horribly wrong, or Capital have got the wrong impact date in their head. It seems to me that the impact date should be end of February/beginning of March where the music video should have been out a couple of weeks by then, Radio 1 would ideally have playlisted it in the next week or two to be reaching B/A-list by then and Capital should have it on their highest list. Capital have just playlisted it way too early it seems, possibly due to Syco giving wrong/stupid impact dates to them, and therefore aren't letting other radio stations and TV music video stations catch up before declaring it a flop. I'm pretty sure Fleur would be on TV shows in the next week or so too if it was the impact date, yet as far as I know there is no news of any. She was on every single TV show possible during the release of Sax, I find it hard to believe she would be on absolutely nothing - bar the TV awards which obviously was nowhere near what the impact date is so doesn't count - for her second single.
February 6, 20169 yr This is such a happy song, makes me feel all cheerful and upbeat when I hear it. It's not necessarily anything special but it does its job and I do wish this would be a success.
February 13, 20169 yr Hello just to say Fleur video is out the 15th and impact date was changed. for anyone who wants to know shes on sunday brunch tomorrow maybe this is where promo will properly start.
February 13, 20169 yr Radio 1 still playing Sax and yes they care about Fleur, the problem with capital is they playlisted it to early and there was quite probably a cock up.
February 17, 20169 yr The editing at the start of the video is so bad. Let's show a second of her lip-syncing, particularly when she's inbetween words. It's a nice video though, nothing amazing but thank God she stayed away from the green screen this time.
February 17, 20169 yr there is no way we are going to get another video payed for by syco for this song the way the campaign is going so i have no idea why they wouldn't just call it the official music video. they should just change the title of the youtube video and go with it. it is hardly amazing and is pretty shoddy in places but it does the job and is rather cheap and cheerful. reminds me a lot of the video for 'flatline' by MKS.
February 17, 20169 yr That new mix of it is horrible, a ruination I would say. I like that video though, they made good use of what is an amazing location.
February 23, 20169 yr Hopefully most of the album will be gone from Spotify too. Put out 'Baby Don't Dance' for the interim and get recording some House tracks for the radio pronto.
March 9, 20169 yr What ever happened the release of More and More. Is its impact week still coming or has it flopped really badly already?
March 13, 20169 yr I feel like its over with. Re-release or new album or maybe small tour. Really surprised shes not opening for Little Mix.
March 14, 20169 yr Yeah, I think the impact week being a while back as in fact correct, I can't see this still being a thing, looks like Radio 1 snubbed it. I think she MIGHT get a third single, for the sake of Simon wheeling her out for a BGT performance though. But alas, as I've said when I first heard Sax, I see her being a bit of a one-hit-wonder.
March 14, 20169 yr How to go from an extremely well-executed release to one of the most botched "releases" of recent times :lol: That said, I still don't think Sax will be her only hit. She has the Syco machine behind her to guarantee XF/BGT slots and "Breakfast" could do pretty well if that's pushed as the next single
