September 15, 20195 yr Have to hand it to her team - they are pushing this album as much as they can. A new pre-order has been added to her website (Deluxe version with signed postcards and alternative sleeve) - not sure it’s going to make much difference but they are trying.

Unfortunately it's not a new pre-order, it's just this version: https://louise.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=42723 (which was available to pre-order at the same time as all the other formats). I think this is the first time that we've seen what the postcards are set to look like though!

In terms of promo I’m not sure what more is left for her by the time the album comes out - lots of places don’t repeat their acts and she’s already done The One Show, Sunday Brunch etc., - apart from some radio and daytime TV there is really not a lot more for her to do when the album is released.
September 20, 20195 yr Not the Same seems to be the next song to be released as they’ve put the song length on iTunes. Thought they’d spread the release out a bit considering the delay 🤔
September 21, 20195 yr Probably wise delaying to January as it'll get lost in the Q4 madness...Although fans have been waiting ages for this!

September 26, 20195 yr Not selling as well as they hoped then - there is now 20% off tour tickets with the code LOU9TO5 at www.myticket.co.uk/artists/louise Edited September 26, 20195 yr by ___∆___
October 11, 20195 yr Seems like "Not The Same" might be the next single as they've bovvered to make a lyric video: Vk7Gpqt8rUE
October 11, 20195 yr How many is that now? I've actually lost count. Assuming we'll probably get two more before the album eventually arrives too. I think my interest waned around the time of 'Lead Me On' tbh.

Stretch Small Talk Lead Me On Breaking Back Together Not The Same One more track and she'll have put out half the standard edition album :lol: I wonder how this'll work out with streaming "sales" though. How many tracks from the album needs to be streamed for it to count as a sale? :coffee: Edited October 11, 20195 yr by tommie
October 14, 20195 yr The may as well put the album out. I mean they know their is absolutely no interest.
October 14, 20195 yr The may as well put the album out. I mean they know their is absolutely no interest. This and it’s tiresome Louise plugging it daily on her socials. I feel sorry for her but she must know as well as her management and label that interest is minimal - none of the singles have done anything on airplay or iTunes tbh, ticket sales must be poor for them to be offering 20% off deals and the album pushed back to 2020.
October 15, 20195 yr ^ Last week they changed Amazon's vinyl listing to be a signed vinyl, so as things stand they're going ahead with physicals. Apparently the physicals are already printed? I'm not overly concerned about how her pre-orders are performing or how she does on iTunes with each song. I wish some of her fans would relax about that. Focus on whether you actually like the songs, rather than fretting over it being #842 on iTunes or whatever. It's almost like they're letting the lack of public interest and lack of chart success colour how they feel about the songs & even Louise herself, which seems a shame to me. Yes, a high chart position & healthy sales = more of a chance that her music career will continue, but honestly if Heavy Love ends up being her final album then I'll be content with that. I'm looking no further ahead. This album era represents such an unexpected extension of her music career. I never thought we'd see the day that we'd have new Louise material, but here we are with 5 new songs already and there's more still to come! I'm appreciating the moment and glad that I'm enjoying the new tracks (Stretch in particular was such a serve). To me, that seems more productive as a fan, rather than looking ahead with dread re: charts & sales. It strikes me as odd to be concerned about her commercial performance & the possible repercussions it'll have on her ability to continue her music career, while seemingly not particularly appreciating that she's actually releasing songs right now!
October 15, 20195 yr Yes I don't really understand why there would be any big expectation of success for Louise. Its just so long since she released her last album, the market has completely changed. And she was never a really hugely successful act back in the day anyway. For me I am happy that the good songs keep coming, Louise gets some opportunity to promote (like she how she performed 'Lead Me On' on the One Show), and that the tour is enjoyable. Regarding the charts, I would really love if the album went Top 20. And I am not going to panic about its second week performance, I know it will plummet after week one. Its hard for me to assess how good/bad her streaming number are as she is not in a comparable situation to anyone else. I'm not sure what kind of promotion she would have around release week. But hopefully something will be arranged. Maybe she should go on 'I'm a Celebrity' or something! And after this album is done, I'm ready for an Eternal reunion!
October 15, 20195 yr It is likely this is her last studio album. The album, as we have known was never going to be a huge selling album, it is largely for Louise and her fanbase as she is not going to win over new fans. It is a slight musical career extension that should result in Louise achieving a 5th Top 20 album to her solo credits. Future budget releases of various Greatest Hits will come further down. A full Eternal reunion would be welcomed after this solo venture and Eternal could do a new Greatest hits release and tour.
