'Fantasy' is fantastic and perhaps my favourite of the three.

This is playing out exactly as I expected. Jools Holland for her first performance shows they're thinking long-term — especially if the charts aren't interested. She can flourish with critical acclaim and build a dedicated fanbase to tour for.

 

You’re so right… things are really working for her in that respect ..

 

 

This is … huge for her..

Well this is some great news! :o Hopefully we'll see some more of this.

Move over Lana Del Rey and FKA Twigs…Jade is here

This is exactly how I’m feeling. Glad others think the same!

It’s interesting people compare this to Jessie Ware because she’s a big touring / festival artist and gets such critical acclaim. It’s a route for her to go down without feeling too throwaway which for example “forget about us” kind of feels like even though it was a top 10 hit.

Forbes, Vogue and now Pitchfork :o This is amazing for her honestly.

 

As soon as her Jools performance was announced it became clear to me what direction this campaign was going in. I really think it’ll pay off for her in terms of getting a critically acclaimed album with a dedicated fanbase that will sell out her shows etc

Totally agree. The Vogue interview passed me by until now.

 

To go back to the beginning a little, I read that you started writing and recording your solo material on your own dime, then started shopping them around to record labels. Did you always have that very clear vision of what you would want to do if you went solo?

 

I think so. I knew going into my own solo journey that it had to come from me. Everything had to be my choice, because I wasn’t necessarily given that option at the beginning of my career. I wanted to be able to turn up to the labels and be like, ‘This is my sound. You’re going to want it. Who’s going to give me the best deal?’ I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I’m a grounded person, but I do really believe in believing in yourself and knowing your worth, and I’ve done a lot of hard graft in the music industry, so I know I deserve to be here. And I definitely know what I want to be. I am, I guess, a very ardent student of pop, and I know what my references are. For this record, I wanted to do a lot of experimenting and let the fans in on the experience of figuring out my sound, which was very liberating. I feel like I don’t need to pigeonhole myself or put myself in a certain box. The songs sound very different, but why not? It’s my first album, so why shouldn’t it be a bit chaotic? There’ll be plenty of time for albums later down the line that are more cohesive. Right now, I want people to be invited into my erratic pop world. I like surprising people. I like that nobody knows what’s coming next.

 

Screams main pop girl energy. :cheeseblock:

Great that it's stable! I'm not going to hold my breath for an early HHUK add but I hope it can take off on Tik Tok at least. :lol: This is probably my favourite of the 3 now! :wub:

It looks like Jade’s covering BACKBONE by Chase & Status/Stormzy tomorrow. That’s unexpected!

Fantasy did 220,869 streams yesterday its stable but i'm worried for the weekend tbh we need a push

Capital have added this but only on evenings annoyingly.

Yeah Hot Hits didn’t add this again. It’s annoying because people who like the song less will be like “they chose the wrong song”, but it was never going to do much without being on the most important playlist here. (Unless it went viral)

Yeah I know what you mean. IMO Fantasy is the right single regardless of how it performs. The track is brilliant!

Are we not talking about how INCREDIBLE her live lounge was :heart: :w00t:

Can they upload the performance so I can watch!

Was working so couldn’t listen, will it be uploaded?

"Fantasy" has debuted at #52 in the UK this week. Hoping it was gonna be significantly higher than that.
