"Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass" Spoken Word Poetry Album - Pre-Release Thread

[necessary sacrifice 8,865]

So there’s a lead single AND it’ll be in album format on Spotify and Apple Music BUT people still don’t consider this an album? Lol

[Venice 6,933]

 

Hmm so then the time really was location-based, though I'm wondering why it was on Apple and not all the other platforms like Audible. And then just one "single" on Spotify so far. Not another messy release... WHY

its an audio book. not an album. pretty sure this is not going to count as a studio album in her contract, either. 

[UltraHeroin 8,803]

This is so personal and raw and up-front and confident and vulnerable and emotional and good  at the same time wtf 

[Venice 6,933]

"Plus I love Zac, so why did I..." not sax, I'm pretty sure.

[lustforlife 19,008]

[UltraHeroin 8,803]

I thought she'd talk a lot slower. However, since the song lengths are the same, it means the poems are a lot longer than what I thought

It is still eligible for Best Spoken Word Album at the Grammys though, so maybe this will be the one... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Spoken_Word_Album

Omg the serve

So... Doing some late night maths, the collector's bundle retails at £65

 

It includes

 

CD - £10.00

Cream LP - £20.00

Picture Disc - £22.00

Cassette - £8.00

 

In total £60 worth of goods for £65? Not really a bundle. The analogue bundle includes Cream LP and cassette which totals at £28 but retails for £35. My guess is the tape deck is 2 cassettes and retails at £16 and it is this that is included in the bundle also? Making up the additional cost and actually making it a saving

Ikr? This bundles are so stupid. It is more expensive when it is a bundle lol I ain't getting no bundles

[Terrence Loves Me 72,696]

I can’t wait to play this as i walk around the city alone feeling sorry for myself!!

[SuperMegaStan 9,985]

i think it's due to different publishers,

 

like the album will be published through Interscope

and the book (as well as the audiobook) is published through Simon & Schuster 

 

so what Interscope has is the right to release the album in digital, and physical format as well as via streaming platforms and that's why there's only one single released so far under Interscope's name

Not interested in poetry usually, but the snippets from instagram and now this have me intrigued. or I'm just a sucker for her voice lol
