How interesting that she can sell 1000 of this within an hour and a half, but can’t sell 500 of the Amazon one in over 2 months?

I’m honestly so confused with all the formats she’s released.

At first I wasn’t planning to buy anything, but in the end I ordered the cassette, CD and the orange vinyl from FNAC… and today I also picked up the limited one from Blood Records they just announced.

But honestly, I have no idea what I’ve missed at this point. There are multiple CD covers, vinyls with and without postcards, so many different colours… I’ve completely lost track.

And it’s crazy that the 1,000 limited Blood Records copies sold out in less than two hours!

Anyway, I’m sticking with what I’ve got now and I don’t think I’ll be buying anything else.

Her official store now has bundles including 3 post cards!

I am sure I bought 11 versions but I do not remember from where (website, countries etc etc) lol

Any idea if the signed copies on her store are inserts or jackets?

Also how is the personally signed still in stock? Ugh. Gets me nervous.

Now 12.

Sweat is Radio 2's album of the week!

Its out in Australasia Pressure and Drum Machine are getting good reviews

I don't know if it's just a fan putting their own spin on it but apparently someone on Mel's team have said she is challenging for a #1 album! 😶🤯😶🤯😶🤯 I'm not even contemplating that myself keeping focused on top 10 with top 5 being amazing.

She is being advertised on the London Underground! 😍

This must be the benefit of being with Virgin again!

She said tonight that it is doing so well. Encouraged us to buy lanyards!!

The queue was long lots sold!

She also thought that that she was in poor voice , i didnt hear it!! Also big props to Ricki he was on fire tonight!!

OK It's midnight here now so I will give this album a full on stream! Let's see how it goes, I'm excited😀

Jesus, Sweat continued to be terrible and empty, Truly one of her worst so far. Only seconded by Rock Me and I Want Candy lol

Like, I understand why it was the first single (~marketing~) but I wish it had just been like a promo single rather than the main one to launch the era.

Drum Machine is... interesting. Her most 'experimental' single in a long while, good for her for having a go at this. It is no doubt the best single of the era so far.

Some of the lyrics are clunky and the production is strong but a bit messy. It could do well in the clubs though, for sure (but does anyone still go clubbing lol)

I would say it is the best single out of her 'eletronica' eras so far, since she started dwealing in it with Version of Me.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong is terrible, sorry.

The production could be fun but the lyrics and vocal production are so bad... There is a good song here somehow, and it does sound a bit like an older Mel C song just with dance elements throwin it.

The end of the chorus where she sings the title is her worst vocal moment in a long while, it is clunky and too slow for what the song itself seems to demand everywhere else. I think she was trying to be snappy and quirky but it doesnt work.

The rest of the chorus works well though, I wish she hadnt ruined it with the title lol

Till It Breaks

Hhhmmm... this is fun, I like it and seems like one of the tracks that has one of the best melodies here so far... I like this style of music, it's a vibe and she does it well. Good for her!

Main gripe: again, some of the lyrics could be a bit better worked on but alas that's Mel's main downfall across her discography if you ask me...

Overall, it's a good song!

Pressure - ok now we're talking! This is fun and club-ready. I think this could have worked well as a club and dance-radio single only ahead of the album. It's like pop-rave and works well.

I see my husband Theo Hutchcraft has worked on this and you can see the Hurts influence on this. Great work!!

Emotional Memory - the melodies sound like old school Melanie again, with a dance-touch! It reminds me of another song, maybe Robyn's Tell Your Girlfriend or something from that era...

It's a good song though. Could have been better with better verses/lyrics on the verses and a proper chorus. Not the best but this is a good lane for her and she does well in it.

(yes I am doing a song-by-song instant review! Buckle up bitches!)

Attitude - I truly hate this song, I'm sorry. It's dumb and trying to be 'camp' but it just sounds cringe. Wasted an opportunity by doing this a pre-album single instead of much better songs.
