August 25Aug 25 Author I didn't realize this (until now, lol!) that she posted that same picture on Instagram, but she posted two instead. However, the second one has only nine tracks in the tracklist ("For Your Entertainment" isn't included), so I'm wondering whether this is a physical-only release or not.It should be noted that her site hasn't updated that the tracklisting yet.https://www.instagram.com/p/DcT4kmHgsxt/
September 4Sep 4 Half of the songs she released prior to this didn’t give me much hope but it’s actually so much more solid than I was expecting!! Jealousy and Nobody Dances especially are bangers!! I also love the slower songs like I Know Too Much, Misremember You and Always Think Of You, I don’t know why I always forget how much she delivers on a ballad.
September 5Sep 5 I enjoyed this as a first time listen. Ravers felt tacked onto the end and doesn’t necessarily to me fit what the rest of the album offers but it’s a great track nonetheless!I think as a whole album it is quite strong so I hope it does something. I often find Ellie’s albums all have Individual tracks I enjoy and this followed that path.
September 5Sep 5 Author Apparently, it's a digital and streaming deluxe version of the album. I don't know why she tagged Beau, her boyfriend, on her Instagram post, but here we are, lol! 😅ETA: He probably took the picture.https://www.instagram.com/p/Dc6VSyVKOyM/ Edited September 5Sep 5 by Juan Carlos
September 5Sep 5 Author I listened to the album yesterday and I really like it. It has great moments and I think that the pre-releases singles didn't do justice to be honest. "Ravers" is definitely a left-field and, sort of, an outsider, there and it makes sense why it's the last track. I echo that "For Your Entertainment" is great and I will add "Nobody Dances" too.I think it's notorious that there's a conflict between her and her management (and this could also lead into her label, I don't know) because of the repetitive mess in the roll out during the promotion and how silent she has been in these days before and after the release of the album, aside of that post in her socials of course. Even, as far as I know, some of her shows were cancelled too.I'm wondering whether she's planning to go independent or trying to renegotiate her deal with Polydor at this point. I mean, she knows too much more than we do.
September 5Sep 5 It is a solid album, although I was there were more standout tracks to make me want to come back and listen more. It does put a downer on the situation when it feels like the artist isn't even bothered to promote the record, but it seems like there has been disputes with the label. Very intrigued to see what is coming on Monday.
September 5Sep 5 If it is a deluxe I’m relieved I didn’t get around to pre ordering!! I might throw a digital deluxe buy in if I’m impressed enough. I do kind of feel cheated when artists do this though but it’s a way of getting in additional sales and it might as well count towards the debut week. Speaking of the chart debut what are we actually expecting for this. She’s managed #1 with all but one of her albums (and iirc Delirum did decent sales but high sales period so ended up at #3) but for some reason I think she could lose her top 3 streak here?!
September 5Sep 5 Author Revealed by a reliable source that there will be six new songs attached and they're the following. Poor "Destiny". 🫠Song titles11. "Nice Things"12. "Sweet Delusion"13. "Right Hand"14. "All the Time"15. "Fields of Love"16. "Ways to Hurt"

The question, I guess, will be by how much. Obviously, I think that we will get much more details with the midweek update (despite that they're front-loaded), but with the nonexistent promotion and the lack of (or not much) streaming the album is getting, I don't see how much Ellie and her team could do to keep that.
Sunday at 10:425 days I enjoyed it on first listen , its a pretty solid album hopefully it can go keep her top 3 streak alive. Just over 10k was needed last week 🙏I agree on the deluxe thing, like fair enough if the deluxe is released months after but the literal same week is frustrating also .makes you wonder if its worth reordering an album anymore

Sunday at 15:295 days Author 17 minutes ago, pavi said:We already have a Tame Impala thread xJokes aside, both of them can co-exist to be honest.I assume that all the plans were put on hold (due to her issues with her management and, probably, with Polydor) if it's considered that "Loser" and the title track were expected to be dropped before the release of the album.
Sunday at 23:325 days Other then ways to hurt and all the time the deluxe tracks are superior to the og tracks
Monday at 02:104 days Author I seriously want to know why Elena Jane didn't include "Ways to Hurt" in the original tracklist of the album. I mean, c'mon! This track is one of the best she has ever done.
