I'll spoiler my thoughts on the new songs, but lemme just say, don't let the snippets dictate your opinion on them cause wow..

 

 

 

Nothing But My Feelings is really cute, it's delivered really well. It's nothing spectacular, but it sorta makes a trio with NAPS and Holiday of being "chilled, laid back pop". Those two songs fit way better in with the album now.

 

Gloves Up is incredible. Baby Power. It lacks that ridiculous level of brilliance that power has, but Leigh-Anne shines so well in the song. She leads the second chorus and she really just belts for her life. It's too short, though. Definitely needed a bridge and a final chorus.

 

A Mess has way different verses to what you'd expect from the chorus, it's really catchy and it's delivered really nicely. There's a like a semi-rap in the middle 8 that Jesy nails.

 

My Love Won't Let You Down, this isn't my favourite ballad of theirs, it's not bad, but I feel like songs like Good Enough hit WAY harder. Their delivery and vocals are really nice throughout though, especially their lower ranges.

 

Rendezvous is really sultry, sexy and fun. Jesy nails her verse (seriously she is shining on this album, along with Leigh in new and different ways than before) you can barely even recognize the Sway sample. It sounds like if PCD released Buttons in 2020 and took inspiration from Motivate.

 

If You Want My Love is spectacular. The verses are quite subdued and the song gradually builds. Little Mix took that early 00s Boyband style and ran with it and made something even better. Probably my top 5 on the album?

 

Breathe is very cute. It's nothing too amazing, but with the production you and delivery you get a proper feel of how they're feeling and what they are trying to convey.

 

Overall I feel this is their strongest album, in terms of like sheer fun/personality? They have essentially taken the fun and personality of Glory Days and combined it with the mature undertones and confident delivery of Salute.

 

 

"Confetti" (album) is #1 on iTunes New Zealand.

Little Mix getting the #1 on iTunes and not Kylie is.. odd. I’m pleasantly surprised.

It’s up to 4 on Amazon digital albums bestsellers.

 

I’m so curious about how well it does on Spotify on release day.

 

I’d love BUS and Holiday to get a reset and have decent streams.

I would rather them try to get Confetti (as I assume that’s the song that will get the NMF push) to chart than reset Break Up Song.

On Spotify I can see Sweet Melody going top 10, Confetti going top 50 like Strip did, Holiday and BUS top 60/70, and everything else in the top 150.

I can low-key see BUS out performing Holiday.

Think this is spot on!

 

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love Confetti to chart but I feel like BUS and Holiday deserve a couple more weeks charting in the top 100.

Well Happiness still has to be a single, but I'd love them to push Gloves Up too, it's like Salute and Power had a baby.

 

Rendezvous and Breathe are highlights for me too.

Do we think they’ll release anything new?

 

I was really hoping we’d get a couple of new formats but I’m not sure I see that happening now.

If they don't have some tricks up their sleeve I think it's over for them since I'm sure Kylie will have plenty.

I cant see them not doing any more formats! I’m sure they will have something coming

Positive reactions getting me very excited. Hate myself for waiting until midnight.

The ballad is... a little bland. They're very hit and miss with ballads, but I wish they'd had something as undeniable as Monster in Me on this one.

 

Everything else is cute but they certainly gave away the best songs too early.

I'm the other way, I hate myself for always spoiling everything, hence why I banned myself from Reddit. I just ruin everything. :( :lol:

Wait, is there only ONE ballad?

 

Has anyone been over to Amazon digital lately? :lol:

 

LITTLE MIX TAKE OVER

 

ALL 6 released tracks in the top 10 and Album up to 2 :wub:

You guys always flip flop every day based on whether or not they're going to get the #1 lol. Kylie's Marble vinyl was limited to 4000 copies worldwide. Remember she's huge in her home country as well as moderate in other countries, I doubt all of those are for the UK. Given how Little Mix caught up to her pre-order numbers with having considerably less time as well as having the massive streaming gap to their advantage, I'd say there's nothing to worry about. And not to mention a lot of Kylie stans cancelled their original orders to order the newer packages she had in store. I'm guessing that was the issue with Amazon, as they seem to have had a stock issue with both Kylie and Little Mix's signed albums.

 

Even if there's a few tricks last minute, I don't think her physical numbers will be an issue, they'll probably be the same as Little Mix's. The physical sales climate is lower, not to mention the UK economy is garbage atm, not everyone has money for horribly priced albums, but they do have money for monthly streaming subscriptions. Personally think streaming will be what wins this for Little Mix. Kylie will probably only pull in 2-3k from streaming.

 

If they don't get the #1, hey, they don't get it. But the constant dread/doubt in this thread is dampening man.

After listening to the album I can confirm holiday is the best song on the album and they released the perfect instant grat songs because the album is a tad unwhelming

Holiday is the best? So far that's probably my second to least favourite ..
