  1. Stans, please help!

     

    I need the original pictures used for the True Romance and Super Ultra covers. Does anyone have them? Can't find neither.

    I don't think either of them were ever released, but these two photos are close enough to the True Romance cover:

    Hope this helps! Also is there anything missing? :)

    I added a few instrumentals we have/still need - there's also unmastered versions of Hotter Than Hell and Be the One if you want to add those to the demos section.

  3. Blow Your Mind debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #72 this week - I have no idea how considering its airplay, sales and streams are basically non-existent so it's probably another HBTB-like mistake but if not, good for her :legend:


  4. My friend's making me it (I don't know what to use lmao). I'll convert it to ALAC (from WAV) and send it soon. Do you need Hotter than Hell instrumental? I don't have it in lossless, but I have mp3

    I have that one already, but thanks for offering! I don't have a lossless version either but I do have the unmastered instrumental in .WAV if you want me to upload it?

    Sweden's Sabina Ddumba is a soulful, gospel-influenced vocalist with bent toward contemporary pop and R&B. Born in Fisksätra, a suburb of Stockholm, in 1994, Ddumba grew up in a religious family with parents who emigrated to Sweden from Uganda. Subsequently, some of her earliest musical memories are of hearing her mother sing Ugandan nursery rhymes. In her teens, she joined the Tensta Gospel Choir and performed with the ensemble for six years. Also during this period, she began listening to a mix of modern and '90s R&B, including The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which inspired her greatly. In 2012, she briefly competed on Sweden's version of The X Factor and made her professional debut singing on Adam Kanyama's track "The Golden Child." The following year, her career gained another boost when she supplied backup vocals on Katy Perry's single "Walking on Air," from Prism. In 2014, Ddumba released her debut single, "Scarred for Life," which helped land her a recording contract with Warner Music. Following her signing, she released several more singles, with "Effortless" and "Not Too Young, in 2015; the latter achieved platinum status. That same year, Ddumba performed at the Swedish Grammy Awards. In 2016, she released her fourth solo single, the Wolf Cousins-produced "Not Too Young, Pt. 2."

    Bucking the trend of hyped female artists taking an age to release an album, hers ("Homeward Bound") is released next Friday - use this week wisely to get up to speed  :oprah3:


  6. This troll... :crossed:

    Maybe the actual single is coming out on Friday since she hardly switched labels/revamped her site/took new press photos solely for an album of background music?


  7. feel the need to bump this because he released his debut album this year and no one talked about it...

     

    any fans? i love the record

    I've been meaning to listen to it for ages and then completely forgot it was even released  :deadbanana: I'll definitely play it in full sometime this week though


  8. She definitely hasn't been dropped; the new single which is actually Little Psycho and not Find Your Peace isn't released under Island like the rest of her songs but through another UMG division at least (most likely Interscope, as mentioned in her video descriptions as of late). 

    Another fun fact: it was also ready for release over a year ago (pre-dating Lowlife)  :creep:


  9. Norma-Jean-Martine-2016.jpg

     

     

    Originally from Middletown, New York, Norma Jean Martine moved to London in 2011 at the tender age of 20 to study at Queen Mary University. She decided to implement what she described as "the Lady Gaga plan," taking a year out from her studies in order to devote more time to kick-starting her career in music. This decision proved to be a good one as she signed a publishing deal with BMG/Chrysalis exactly one year later. Influenced by childhood trips to the blues bars of upstate New York with her mother, her emotional bluesy style draws inspiration from the greats -- Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Etta James -- and, combined with a pop sensibility, has led to comparisons with Amy Winehouse and Adele. Subsequently dropping out of college altogether, Martine racked up a formidable list of songwriting credits while simultaneously honing her own craft as a performer. She co-wrote Italian singer Giorgia's 2013 Top Ten hit "Quando una Stella Muore" from the Italian number one double-platinum album Senza Paura, followed by "Lonely Nights (Hey You)" on former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts' 2014 album, Butterfly Effect. She also co-wrote two songs from Marco Mengoni's 2014 triple-platinum album Parole in Circolo, as well as "In the Light" for German Eurovision winner Lena's 2015 album, Crystal Sky. Finding the time to appear at major festivals, such as Montreux in 2013 and 2014, Latitude, and the Calling Festival in 2014, sharpened her talents as a solo artist, further developed by supporting Gaz Coombs, Lissie, and Tom Odell on tour. Her 2014 single "No Gold," co-written with Joel Pott of Athlete, was used for The CW Network in the U.S. and Fox 8 in Australia. The single "Animals" was released in September 2015, and her debut full-length album followed almost exactly a year later; entitled Only in My Mind, it was recorded with Coldplay's X&Y producer, Danton Supple.

    Her debut album Only in My Mind is released January 20th (this Friday, the 14th, in the UK) - hear the three singles below:

    Worldwide link for signed copies of the album on CD or vinyl: http://shop.virginemi.com/normajeanmartine


  10. Did the unmastered/demo version of Primadonna ever surface? I've had that (and the How to Be a Heartbreaker acapella) for ages but they still haven't cropped up anywhere, so if anyone wants them let me know and I'll upload  :hooker:


  11. Is there anyone in Europe on here who has the vinyl already? Apparently it's not out until next Friday outside the US but my local store has it listed as being released with the CD yesterday.


  12. btw is her best album are you kidding

    I second this - I listened to it in full for the first time in ages a few days ago and if Joanne even comes close to it, she'll definitely win me back. I did actually love ARTPOP when it came out but save for about 3 or 4 songs, it's aged horribly which - combined with the jazz album and OTT public image repairing - kind of made me lose interest in her  :poordat:


  13. Just read that Galaxies and Stupid Boy leaked, could someone please send me a link for these and Turn The World Upside Down, I want to hear them <3

    Here's Stupid Boy, Looking for Love and Last Thing: https://soundcloud.com/user-153436151

    I can't find a link for the other two right now but they've probably been re-uploaded somewhere else like VK.
