Pretend

How unfortunate that @@letsescapelizzy reps Halsey and Taylor - if you can't tolerate the "gays and bitches on this tiny site" that can see through her blatant act there's plenty of other places where you can sing your praises about her

Got the vinyl yesterday - other than the amazing liner notes, I finally noticed that there's an exclamation point in the title (probably the reasoning behind the embossing?) On another note, do I have to start mentioning people so I'm not talking to myself @

I'd be fine with Be the One getting another push to be honest; IIRC Radio 1 didn't get behind her until Last Dance was released and hardly any other stations played it, so with it having decent stats now and HTH being a hit in the UK it might still have a chance. Funnily enough I heard it used twice on programs in the past few days so maybe that is the plan

Her German label were probably told about the delay last minute so didn't have time to stop the preorder going live; I bet it'll disappear next week though and the six month wait will officially begin

Yep - she's signed to Universal in Germany (as well as Austria and Switzerland) instead of Warner, but they merely act as distributors of her music so Dua's team would have the final say on any release, i.e. it's probably not going to happen

I've seen three different titles for it (New Year 311215, 31122015 and 311215) but the booklet refers to it as the latter, so that's its "official" title I guess.

Warner can be unreasonable at times but I highly doubt they'd push the release back by 4 months to change artwork that hasn't even been printed yet; also, we still have over 8 years to wait for Tinashe's album if that site is to be believed

I probably should have included the iTunes link in the OP, but it's official - https://itunes.apple.com/ie/album/anarchy/id1129887190---- Just listened to Please; it's nice enough but not worth the weeks-long lead in to be honest.

Her Spotify session is out today: https://open.spotify.com/album/3NW16XZ8U99Qm8E9v52UTz

Is it just me or has the preorder disappeared from every iTunes store it should be live in? I think we actually forced her to change the cover...

"Take Her Up to Monto" is Róisín's new album out on Friday - album sampler below:

Can someone start a petition to stop Nicole from retouching her own photos/fire whoever does it for her? I still can't unsee the shoddy faceswap on the Be the One cover...

Here's UHQ versions of both covers anyway: standard, deluxe

...so who's making a better cover than this 30 second paste-logo-on-photo job?

@@Sucker - two questions for you: would you mind uploading a HQ version of the IWTF radio edit if you have it (I only have a 128kbps MP3), and do you have any idea why the Conqueror remixes were never released officially or promotionally?

Not sure about the standard (all four singles are on it however) but there's 17 on the deluxe, which is kind of annoying since the vinyl pressing is most likely just the standard edition

You actually predicted it in an earlier post (thankfully it's out on October 7th and not next year though)

The album pre-order is probably going live on Friday with Room for 2 and Blow Your Mind (Mwah) as instant grats at some point; Spotify sessions are on the way too (Be the One, Hotter Than Hell, New Love, Thinking 'Bout You, I'm Not the Only One cover)

Hotter Than Hell is finally top 20 on iTunes in Ireland and one spot away from it in the UK

@ - there's also alternate versions of Break the Rules and Famous (video mix and single version respectively); if you want to add those to the masterpost aswell, let me know and I'll upload. Thanks so much for putting it together though - I think the last leak I actually downloaded was Angry All the Time and I've completely lost track of what's leaked since then

The Be the One stems were released (over a month ago but no one noticed ) by Warner Music Russia here: http://promodj.com/WarnerMusicRussia/music The bass stem is missing so the instrumental isn't complete - I'm trying to remake it though so I'll post my version once finished.

Body Talk is a year old tomorrow (it's technically on Sunday but the song was accidentally released on iTunes Canada on that day last year)

Update on her two current singles: The queen of Britain's Got More Talent returned to grace the audience with Cruel and - much like Amazing's performance - she sang about 10 lines before the credits rolled In marginally better news, Scar is still B-listed at Radio 2 and is receiving decent airplay; I still don't get why they're pushing two songs simultaneously when she's struggling to get a hit as is...

It wouldn't let me post it directly for some reason so I attached it to the smiley. It's definitely worth listening to purely due to how ignorant Ebro sounds - those quotes were only from the first 90 seconds
