Hammer is the next song to be released.

 

6 tracks released before the album :blink:

For me that's not a problem. Lauv currently has 7 tracks out for an album that isn't released in full until March. It's just the modern way of things!

 

As things stand there'll be 9 new tracks to hear when Louise's album is out, still plenty to look forward to.

"Hammer" video premiering tomorrow, so I guess it's a proper single:

 

I actually like the cover artwork for this one

So... Hammer has just been released but according to iTunes, looks like we will be getting the track Hurt before release as well..

LOL. I wonder why as it looks like Hammer is the official single since it's getting a video and all - it's less than a month and a half until it's out anyway.

 

Then again, I did bring this up earlier - is this a strategy to increase streaming "sales"? How many tracks from an album needs to be streamed for it to count as a sale? What happens with these pre-released tracks that are suddenly turned into an album on streaming sites - do they end up baking those pre-release streams as "sales" for the album?

OK, Hammer is clearly sampling someone or blatantly copying a song as it reminds me of something.

 

 

Honestly, considering this is just basically a brief extension of her career it's really impressive how well-produced this album is. I thought at best she was going to release a naff Mother's Day album covers album like Emma Bunton.

Yes I really feel Louise is throwing everything at this album. For her style of music and her singing ability (!), I am really really impressed with the quality of her new songs. I actually like all 6 of the tracks released so far and I stream them regularly.

I actually think her comeback should be getting more attention.

Best of luck to her!

I notice the deluxe edition on iTunes has 16 tracks but only 12 tracks on CD. Is there a deluxe edition on CD available to preorder from anywhere?

Her webstore I believe

I'm liking this, it's very funky!

It's a cover!

 

 

 

She’s doing an album launch show in Kingston at a small venue - tickets are £11 or CD/Ticket bundle is £15. She’s is really doing anything she can to make this a success tbh.

Hurt was released today.

Probably my favourite of the album tracks released so far!

HMV signings announced for London & Liverpool - really hope against the odds with the effort she’s put in that this does well on week 1.

Yes fingers crossed.

Ok this is a basic question but if I buy the album from her web store but I live outside the U.K., the sale is NOT counted for the U.K. charts is it?

I’m loving Hurt! The album is shaping up to be really strong.

 

Unfortunately your sale won’t count, diamondtooth! :(

Yes fingers crossed.

No it won’t count :cry: I hate the fact that international orders are lost sales that don’t get counted anywhere (Either in the country their purchased from or the country they are going to!).

What is the difference between the album version and the single version of "Hurt"?

The production is ever so slightly different. There’s more of a beat/drums in the single version.
