Love seeing the support from the girls.

Is this the music video she shot in Istanbul? It doesn't look "Turkish". :???:

Having said that, I think the video is good. Might have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen all the explanations.

 

Pretty much the same - like, it's not bad especially for a former girl group member video, but considering how much she seems to dissect it herself to have a deeper meaning and all the talk of having a big budget, going to an exotic location to shoot it and none of that shows in the video so it's like... wut? :lol: I get that she's excited but she needs to calm down a bit.

It's a catchy enough song but it definitely sounds somewhat dated, not that that's a bad thing however.

Leigh on 'The Face Podcast':

 

-There was only so much of herself she could show in a band

-No compromising and doing choreo that suits her

-She didn't see how her and Perrie being moms and going by everyone's different schedules would have worked if they carried on being in Little Mix, she said it just wouldn't work.

-She loved every moment in the band

-The decision for Little Mix to end was unanimous and it was a gradual discussion over time that had been lingering.

-Leigh said she always thought throughout the years if the group ended she'd definitely still pursue a music career

-DSL was one of the first songs she got

-As we get each single it'll slowly get more R&B

-She wants her album to have something for everyone, a mix of everything and different genres (garage, r&b, afrobeats)

-It was nice in the studio on her own as there was no compromise and writing about what she wanted to talk about

-Leigh says her and the girls have kept their own music to themselves and haven't really shared much with each other as they are all perfectionists

-Leigh thinks not much has changed in the industry for there to be more racial equality.

-Leigh discusses how even after her documentary how she said she'd like more POC working with Little Mix and said this to her label she'd still have the same issue when going on sets with Little Mix. She said it was infuriating on the few videos after the documentary she made with Little Mix that there was still not much diversity despite her requests/concerns being raised.

-Leigh said she calls the shots now.

-There will be some exciting features on the album.

-The album is nearly finished.

-Leigh is hoping the album will be out early next year.

-The video for the second single starts with her rising out of the water - a continuation from the first video.

23,277 streams for Aus/NZ so far listed on Spotify.

 

Very intrigued for the full 24hrs!

Debuts at #54 on spotify

 

Still making steady progress on Apple, #44 on there now.

Good start on Spotify - the CDs and downloads will give it a leg up in terms of chart performance this week while streaming hopefully increases and starts to gain some traction on playlists.

So the band is definitely over then not just on a break as initially said?

They’ve been quite inconsistent with how they’ve phrased it since the first announcement but I think it’s the same case with every pop group. They’ll of course reunite at some point in the future because 99% of them do (besides The Saturdays ugh) but in the meantime they’ll just give vague answers like ‘never say never’ and ‘you never know’ and refer to the group in past tense.

There's a tune at the end of the video. The second single maybe?

Yes, the second single is supposed to pick up with her rising up from the water.

Ouch! She is gonna need the cds and downloads to do the heavy lifting for a decent chart peak this week.

I still think she’s going to be fine. Yeah the CDs and downloads will be doing the heavy lifting for this week/next couple of weeks and I really assumed she would have better play listing tbh because I thought her team were on the ball with that kind of thing. I do think they’ve got a plan in place, it’s just not the plan we expected.

^^ This, they obviously knew playlisting might not go their way initially and needs to build so they’ve gone straight in with the CDs and download to give it some legs in first weeks while streaming builds.
