New snippet of a song. Don’t know if this is the lead or just an album track but it sounds nice. Supposedly called “Woman Like Me” written by Ed Sheeran, Steve Mac and Jess Glynne but that could just be a different song registered under a name similar to what they’re singing

Can we update the Forum thumbnail please? "Power" is so LM4!

 

I'm predicting a 23rd November release for this as I'm pretty sure they're on episode 2 of the Michael McIntyre show as there were two episodes filmed on the day that I went to and there are still two dates of filming on 21st/28th October. The last two series premiered on the third weekend of November and assuming this one follows the same broadcast schedule, their episode will be shown on Saturday 24th November - perfect promo if the album is out the day before!

My friend who works there said it's the 3rd episode of filming but they can swap and change the performances for any date. I had a feeling they'd go up against Rita (not like she's competition but still). Do we know when the show starts?

Oh okay! Well I know that Michael McIntyre also filmed an episode featuring Michael Bublé on Sunday before the episode that I went to started filming. His last two series have been six episodes long, concluding with a Christmas special on Christmas Eve - which this year falls on a Monday - so assuming they stick to the same schedule, episode 1 will be 17th November.

I’ve seen some reports that the show was upgraded to 8 episodes this season which means they will likely start airing on November 3rd. If they they truly are the 3rd episode that would put the album out on the 16th with their performance airing on the 17th

If 16th November is correct,

I think Mumford and Sons will be their biggest threat for #1 album.

Think it will be a close race between LM and them.

Yeah, they did 80k in Q2 last time.

I think the difference between the two is that Mumford & Sons have gotten less successful with each era. Their first album is 5x platinum, their second is 3x platinum and their most recent is only platinum. On the other hand Little Mix keep doing better with each era. Obviously anything could happen and I think they’ll both have strong openings but if they play their cards right pushing the lead and promoting the album, I think Little Mix could take it.

 

Michael Bublé could go really heavy handed with promotion and beat both of them though. I think we’ll have a better idea once all the albums are on preorder and we see who’s leading consistently

Remember when they went up against Bruno Mars and whoever else it was?

 

They obliterated them. They are huge in the UK.

RAYE has said that she's written a female empowerment anthem for the girls' album. Something like "Confidence" from her last EP would be great for them!

 

‘I have done a few [for their new album]. I’ve done one they really love that I think they’re going to use on the album so that’s good. One is slightly more vocal in terms of they get to show off their voices a bit more, it’s got a bit of an R&B edge to it. It’s really lovely and special, I can’t wait for everyone to hear it. It’s basically about being there for your girls which is about girl power.’

They've done an interview with Vice (which itself is well worth a read) which has confirmed two new song titles: "Strip" and "Woman's World":

 

"I'm lying on a sofa with my eyes closed. Some very loud music is playing through my headphones. It’s a bouncing, maximalist pop track with lyrics about loving your body and jiggling your tits."

 

"For one of their videos, for a new song “Strip”, they spoke to different women to gain a more intersectional perspective, so it wasn’t just their voices in the clip. “We spoke to someone who does the Daughters of Eve foundation, which helps those who have gone through female genital mutilation. We spoke to Christine, a woman who runs a charity for breast cancer, we spoke to a trans model."

 

"The others are nudging Jade now, whispering for her to tell me about something called “Woman’s World.” For a moment I think they’re referring to that Kate Bush song, but it turns out they’ve got a track on their new album which goes by a similar name. “So we wrote this song when the whole #MeToo movement was coming about,” Jade says, putting her tea down on the table. “You know… I was so angry about what was going on. It was important to write it with Jez, [a songwriter] who’s a man. It holds an important message. We haven’t written anything that’s too controversial before, and now we’re starting to write things that are slightly more honest. We want to be a bit more ballsy and say ‘yeah, it is hard to be a woman’.” What are the lyrics like? She reels some of them off: “If you’ve never had to struggle to be heard / you haven’t lived in a woman’s world.”"

 

"I think back to the songs I was listening to on the sofa, before our conversation. They were anthemic, full of hooks, but also very American-sounding in their flow and intonation. Some of them could have been Beyonce tracks from 2008. “I don’t know if I had any expectations. I don’t know how to answer that question,” I reply, unused to being put on the spot.

 

I tell them it wasn’t my favourite, I liked their track “Strip” more. The lyrics – about body positivity and embracing parts of yourself that you can’t change – felt positive. I like the idea of young teenagers hearing those words and absorbing them. The fact there’s a band like Little Mix – loud, funny women, with pop songs that make you want to stomp down the street and kick wheelie bins over, pop songs that give you a sugar rush – is a valuable thing.

 

“Yeah, OK,” Perrie says, mulling over my answer before Jesy jumps in: “But did you like ‘Strip’ more because you feel like it was interesting to write about, or did you like listening to it as music, because, like, it’s what you prefer listening to?” They snort, hearing themselves. “Now we’re interviewing you!” says Leigh-Anne."

 

I'm guessing "Strip" is the second single if they've already filmed a video for it!

I'm liking the sound of that! I'm hoping now they've spent more time on this most of the songs won't sound like they were knocked up in 5 minutes like last time.

Not just a Nicki collab apparently! They have some more (not sure how many exactly) on the album and it's only women features.

 

 

Intrigued to see who else they have collabed with!

I'd say it's quite likely that they could lose out on #1 to Mumford & Sons.

 

We should never underestimate their power in the UK

I'd say it's quite likely that they could lose out on #1 to Mumford & Sons.
Remember when everyone said they'd lose to Bruno Mars & Metallica?

And how they wouldn't stand a chance against Ellie Goulding?

 

People write them off so quick. I'm not saying they will beat M&S but I wouldn't go around saying it's a done deal yet.
