You want a diverse album? It’s called LFL .

Or Bartender?

I fucked up, I know that but Jesus, can a girl just do the best she can?Always thought that line was for us lol

The album is finished and mastered. Plus here is no Papa Rick this time around to add a track last minute. Jack is a busy guy and is already working on something else

I doubt it: I have said a million times already: every song she previewed with a snippet, to the exception of RBFY, ended up on the album.

I think we’ll get those snippets a bit later?!? Right now, she teases the piano tracks, but I expect the guitar ones at the end of the pre-release period.

Probably confirming it on the album? But I also thought at first that Hope and Sylvia were two different songs...

She will, she will. I have said it a 1000 times : to the exception of RBFY, every song she teased with a snippet ended up on the album.

To the exception of RBFY, all the songs she previewed with a snippet ended up on the album, so it’s very unlikely they willl get scrapped.

Still from the September interview. It could have changed, obviously.

except this time, what is frustrating is that the album won't change. it will just sit there until it is released.

Nothing official, but one of the sources that explained the whole «fan track / lead single» thing stated that Universal was expecting NFR to be released mi-year. It was supposed to be based on an official press release. One of us posted it like 30-ish pages back. EDIT: there it is. http://www.umusic.ca/press-releases/84263/ Fucking hope they're wrong. Like I said before, she said in September she wanted to release the poetry book first . I sure hope she switched the two projects. You're right. I had already forgotten about that... I really prefer music news when it comes to her...

She said in September she wants to put out the poetry book first, then NFR. Don’t know if it’s still the case but it would explain the delay..

So gays and gals, if NFr is really released mi-year, let's all prepare for a second silent treatment, with no new music before what? March?

Yeah, I also wish that NFR will be released sooner than mid-year, but I don't have my hopes too high, to be honest. She said she wanted to publish her poetry book before, and she just finished it (don't know why she doesn't switch the two projects, honestly). If the mid-year thing is true, and it seems to be coming from Universal so it's reliable, I hope she stops teasing so much so soon, especially considering she teased HIaB in March last year :\

The lead single will have to have a “bigger production” like in VB, I think. Hope is a perfect fan track like it was called, and it is doing well, but the lead single needs something bigger. So, whether it is HIaB or another song, it needs guitar or synths.

Oddly enough, controversy works for her: remember when Get Free charted because of the Radiohead lawsuit? The famous line might have drawn more attention to the song. And let’s not forget it is simply majestic and stunning.

I wish!

I was wondering the same thing. Is the song “radio friendly”? Then again, i’m not so sure since all the lead singles are songs we never heard before its release...

Now that I have listened in full to Hope Is a Dangerous Thing, I prefer that title to Sylvia Plath. It embodies the song so much more, though she could have chopped the title a bit.

I know! It is super haunting ! Honestly, I wasn’t that thrilled about that song from the snippet, but I love it so much now ! Then again, snippets never do justice to a song like that, telling a long story and progressing into a beautiful melody.

Yeah like her Thanksgiving pictures, when we hoped it was for a new music video or confirming Yosemite on NFR.

The snippet of «In Your Car» is up again

The three singles she gave us are almost flawless. When was the last time she delivered us three perfect songs before an album? UV? All the singles from HM were incredible songs as well, but they worked better in the context of the album. But UV's and NFR's are excellent on their own.

Sure hope they're wrong... And I sure hope that HIaDT wasn't something she gave us to «buy time» with a dragging pre-release period that wouldn't end. Especially since the music screams winter release, with its introspective narrative.
