I would have to see the receipts for those final sales to truly believe them :D

 

The only positive is they got a 2nd top 100

If you're going to not believe those sales then why do you believe sales from any other outlet? Is it really that hard to believe that a few thousand fans bought from their website?

I’m pretending I have something of note to say simply because I don’t want discussion of this album to die a death... not sure why it’s suddenly floundering on page 2 when it was so active yesterday!

That would be my fault sorry. :lol:

You need a Wardy's new tracks of the week thread each week, that would possibly be easier for everyone to follow than having lots of individual threads too maybe?

'Lido' has really emerged as my favourite album track. The Enigma influence is particularly jumping out there with the calming production and chanting sample :heart:

Finally listened to this now - I think the singles bar 'Apricots' (which has eventually grown on me but I still stubbornly think it's by far the least enjoyable of the singles) have probably remained my favourites on this but 'Cazenove' could possibly be up with them as well with more listens! <3 'X' and 'Hawk' are also solid highlights (the latter kind of suffers from a slightly overly repetitive vocal as well which was my issue with 'Apricots' but it's not quite as overbearing this time so I can look past it more easily, the instrumental is a bit more exciting than 'Apricots' as well) and 'Lido' is a lovely transitional moment on there too. The other 2 songs haven't grabbed me as much on first listen but 8/10 is a pretty great hit rate (well, 7/10 accounting for 'Apricots' being a pretty slow grower) ~

 

(and with that, between me and Jade alone every song except poor brave 'Rever' has been named as a highlight - at least lewistgreen covered that one :magic:)

Interesting choice of next single

 

Very unexpected indeed! Although it is one of my album highlights so I'm not disappointed, plus it will be interesting to hear the remixes for it

Interesting video to go with it too!

Very unexpected but my that was my favourite remaining album track, so come through :cheeseblock:

X now has a video too, taken from their recent live stream last week :wub:

 

E1. Siena (feat. Clara La San)

F1. Meli (I)

F2. Light

 

These tracks will be released digitally on April 20th

Will one of those be pushed as a single or will a single be coming from the main album? I’ve heard X and Lido both being played on Radio 1 and then Cazenove was played on Radio 2 tonight!

Ooh good to know the extra songs will be coming digitally! (I presumed they would be eventually but you never know). Excited to hear a third Clara collab as well.

I want to think X is the next single but who knows :kink:

Their full 30 min set from the 6 Music Festival is now available on iPlayer. I love the visual aesthetic they're bringing with their live shows right now

 

X has now been playlisted by 6 Music

BRIT Nominated for British Group and British Breakthrough!

A bit odd the Breakthrough nom as it's their 2nd album, but yay.

It charted a lot higher than their first album and gave them their first charting singles though - I think it's fair to call that a breakthrough, it's not necessarily a 'new artist' award.
