August 1, 20195 yr BS&T is OK, but she's proving to be a real disappointment for me after 'Sweet But Psycho'. :( Shame.
August 1, 20195 yr Terrible. She is fast becoming a one hit wonder, neither have even troubled the top 100 on iTunes.
August 1, 20195 yr ^ cause they aren't singles, have no airplay or promo and she's not a big name. People aren't checking for Ava Max, they just liked Sweet But Psycho. She's far from a household name, and even bigger names than Ava also struggle with promotional tracks...! She'll be fine with the next single. I think both tracks are good personally. They're definitely album track material, but strong album tracks in my eyes. Nothing's been a patch on Sweet But Psycho but that's a high bar to beat and I'm happy to bop to these until the single arrives.

I do love BS&T more than the average person it appears, though. Such a bop :wub: I'd be happy with having that as like a post album single #5 sort of single to end the era with etc.. 'Freaking Me Out' has some super cringe lyrics but luckily I can overlook that a lot of the time. So I don't mind the song.
August 2, 20195 yr Hmmm. I seem to be the only person really enjoying Freaking Me Out. Which is fine by me!
August 2, 20195 yr FMO is just straight up bad, glad it's not a single :lol: BST is ok but neither have anything on even So Am I, let alone SBP.
August 6, 20195 yr Author Her album is already shaping up to be very bland, generic noneventful and boring. A shame.
August 6, 20195 yr The issue she is going to have is that SBP and SAI will be old by the time the album appears - SBP was released in November last year and SAI 5 months ago.

This won't matter so much if she can keep the hits coming - Your Song being close to 18 months old by the time Phoenix came out didn't hurt Rita because she had a string of hits to pass the time.

That’s the issue though ‘If she can keep the hits coming’ - it looks like the buzz tracks are not going to do anything (assuming that is their plan - just to keep fans interested and get music out there), if she doesn’t release her next ‘proper’ single until November for example then that’s 1+ years since SBP and 8 months since SAI, for an act like Ava she needs constant hits to sell an album.

August 7, 20195 yr How beige. These are just further proof that she isn't the upcoming pop-messiah like some people expected. Edited August 7, 20195 yr by blacksquare
August 8, 20195 yr Yep I think this career is going downhill as fast as Psycho was shooting up the charts...
August 9, 20195 yr SBP was a hit here way over a year ago and globally it peaked in December (although in the US just a few months ago) so I think she's a bit unlucky that it has been such a slow grower in different markets and hard to follow up with promo etc. I'm afraid she won't get any more hits on her own but might get a good feature slot for another European hit.

August 9, 20195 yr I'm totally missing what makes 'Freaking Me Out' so terrible... I have to agree! I mean sure, the lyrics are certainly on the silly side, but I think it's cute for that reason. The melody of "So much so that it's freaking me out" is lovely. Overall... it's okay! Particularly in the context that it's simply a promo track / possible album track. I prefer Blood, Sweat & Tears and honestly wouldn't have been mad if it had been a single, but I hope it being passed on means that she has something great lined up for the next single.
