March 26, 20232 yr I kind of expected these "reworks" to be "acoustic" versions; glad to hear I'm wrong because it's a bop and a half now. :music:
March 26, 20232 yr The new version of naked is really good, so good to see someone do a new version that isn't acoustic/,slowed down as that never works for me.
March 31, 20232 yr Author @1641510594485313565 9 weeks to go until the album is out. I hope the preorders are good so far, but it’s an interesting choice to not have it up for pre order on iTunes. The reimagined versions haven’t been made available to buy there either.
March 31, 20232 yr I wish they’d stop with these reimagined albums and leave the songs as they were. Take That, Robbie Williams and U2 did it which is why I didn’t buy their GH albums Edited March 31, 20232 yr by Hadji

April 3, 20232 yr Not really feeling the reworkings however, that being said I hope the album manages to chart Top 10 on release week - she’s putting a lot of effort into signings, launch shows etc., - I’m sure they’ll be more to come and there are plenty of formats available too.
April 27, 20232 yr I'm in love with everything so far the reworked versions are so amazing and High Hopes is good and it sounds so Eternal yeah
April 28, 20232 yr Weirdly, High Hopes seems to be available for streaming but not for download - it's on Apple but not iTunes, and Amazon Prime but not the MP3 store :unsure:
April 28, 20232 yr They've missed the boat on the 95% of its 50 sales they'd have got with that error 🤦♂️
April 29, 20232 yr Author @1651907941497274368 https://www.euphoriazine.com/blog/2023/04/interviews-louise/ Great new interview, with mentions of unreleased music and doing something with it. It's slightly vague, but I'm wondering whether she's going to "do a Steps" and release digital albums with rarities, to help boost Greatest Hits download sales? Excited about the possibilities. Her fans have been wanting to hear more from that scrapped 2004 album for so long. The unreleased music part of the interview: What about “For Your Eyes Only?” That was initially planned to be the third single from Elbow Beach, wasn’t it? Yeah, that was a little bit kind of Five Star moment, wasn’t it? Yeah, that was going maybe more so in that vein of where the next step was and the whole photoshoot was kind of a little bit naughtier. But yeah, it ended up obviously not being a single. It was going to be released with a Chic remix, right? Yeah, I think by that stage, towards sort of the Elbow Beach time, I actually recorded a lot of music after it, which I have dug out and there are going to be little surprises along the way of this whole greatest hits journey. By that stage, I was starting to really have a bit more sort of involvement in the writing and element of the music. We talked about Janet, I loved Motown, and I loved the whole Chic sound. I loved anything that was a little bit of old school and I think “For Your Eyes Only,” the remixes and the way that was gonna be put out definitely went down that road. You mentioned digging out unreleased music. Are you referring to the songs that were going to be a part of your unreleased 2004 album? Yeah, there are a few little songs that I worked with some great producers in America. So yeah, down the line, I’m sure over the next few months, they will get a little air in just for good time’s sake.
April 30, 20232 yr Weirdly, High Hopes seems to be available for streaming but not for download - it's on Apple but not iTunes, and Amazon Prime but not the MP3 store :unsure: Aside from Super Magic, none of the songs she's released so far are available to download. As far as I can see, even the album itself doesn't appear to be up for download on MP3 stores. Very bizarre strategy, but I'm assuming it's a way to try and push people into buying a physical copy.
May 2, 20232 yr High Hopes is a brilliant track, actually my favourite by Louise since 2 Faced. It sounds timeless and uplifting, with a nostalgic vibe to the melody but slick and full sounding contemporary production. She sounds great on it and I love the gospel choir at the end too.
