September 11, 20195 yr Author I really don't know what demand there is for this. As Bal pointed out, the record company already have the Billboard Club Play #1 if that's what they were aiming for. They advertised this as some sort of "anthem for the gay community" but the reaction to the song really hasn't really matched their expectations. 'God Control' or 'I Don't Search, I Find' would be much more suitable, either that or start giving a proper push for 'Crave'.
September 11, 20195 yr I Don’t Search I Find has such potential for remixers! I really hope we get a bundle for that.
September 11, 20195 yr I Rise is my 3rd least fav on the album. They obviously thought it would be a lot bigger. Some amazing videos this era but not for the commercial songs. Where are the god control remixes ?
September 11, 20195 yr I have really grown to like I Rise especially as an album closer after the experience of listening to Madame X, but it needs to remain an album closer. A huge anthem worthy of this pushing it is not I'm afraid.
September 12, 20195 yr I don't get the general consensus that I Rise isn't that good! For me it was extremely instant moreso than Medellin on first listen and sits in my top 3 from Madame X. I think it's stunning!
October 8, 20195 yr Author Link to the release on the Record Store Day site here: https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/11766 4,000 copies available. Also, as Juan Carlos revealed in the Madame X thread, this has been sent to Italian radio as the third single. Hopefully this can be sent to UK radio too, I mean there's a handful of other songs I'd rather were pushed as a single but I just want something!
