Posted February 25, 20196 yr The first song from the album 'Baby Please Don't Stop' is released this Wednesday February 27th. Written by Emma with Paul Barry and Patrick Mascall, "the song is a storming sixties influenced smooth pop classic, which is sure to delight Emma fans across the globe."
February 25, 20196 yr Her going 60s again was probably her best shot at getting radio airplay. The song will sound dated to start with as it is 60s sounding so she doesn't need to try to trend chase. I'm assuming radio 2 and Heart will be all over this doubt she can get Capital or radio 1 on board but that was never likely.
February 25, 20196 yr I know she’s not going to set the singles charts alight but I’m not here for a midweek release :nocheer:
February 25, 20196 yr I know she’s not going to set the singles charts alight but I’m not here for a midweek release :nocheer: The campaign so far seems very focused on the album, which is good I think! It is odd that they are going for a Wedsnesday release but that actually gives me a lot of confidence that charts positions of the track dont matter that much. FINGERS ALL CROSSED!!! :cheer:
February 25, 20196 yr Storming and smooth as descriptors is rather conflicting, so I’m not quite sure what to expect from this! Two days to go :D
February 25, 20196 yr I am looking forward to hearing this but am not sure what to expect. I hope it has a quirky vibe to it.
February 26, 20196 yr I know she’s not going to set the singles charts alight but I’m not here for a midweek release :nocheer: I had a feeling it was going to be released on Wednesday since she's on Radio 2 then. She wasn't going to chart either way even with a Friday release as the bulk of sales were going to happen the first two days with Spice fans downloading it anyway...
February 26, 20196 yr I rustled up some artwork this morning if anyone wants to use it? Kept it quite in theme with the album cover:
February 26, 20196 yr FIRST REVIEW: from Official Charts If you're an Emma Bunton fan, then you won't be disappointed with Baby Please Don't Stop, her first new song in 12 years. Premiering tomorrow (February 27) on BBC Radio 2 with its music video arriving shortly after, Baby Please Don't Stop is the lead release from Emma's new album My Happy Place, her first since 2006. Click here to view the album artwork, tracklist and collaborators. Opening with guitars reminiscent of her UK Number 1 single What Took You So Long?, the song clocks in at exactly three minutes, giving us 180 seconds of sensual vocals over sugary production. The track's bridge is our particular highlight, stripping back Emma's whispery tones which blossom around the track's bass guitar. Speaking of her voice, you could be mistaken for thinking Emma sounds a little like her BMG label-mate Kylie Minogue, with her warm tones slinking through the tambourine-led chorus like silk. Lyrics include: "I'm going out of my head, need to feel your love. Boy too much can never be enough, so baby please don't stop." This is a flirty, carefree and confident Emma who is taking control of the situation with the man of her dreams. The song's 60s-harking, throwback vibe follows in the footsteps of her previous hits Free Me and Maybe, giving nods to Petula Clark and Dusty Springfield, the latter Emma will actually cover on My Happy Place. Paying homage to an era past, Emma's new material sits nicely in BMG's catalogue of other zeitgeist-lovers like Imelda May, Jack Savoretti and Martine McCutcheon. If you want something to Spice Up Your Life before Baby, Ginger, Sporty and Scary reunite this summer, then this will whet your appetite. Emma's new album My Happy Place is released on April 12.

February 26, 20196 yr Well, this sounds like a nice addition to her singles catalog at least, even if I'm not remotely excited about the album itself.
