publikcitizen Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Ugh not Taylor winning again. Getting sick of her now. 3
Sni2 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 We all know the Grammy results by now. But seriously, KC watched Annie Lennox paying tribute to Sinead O'Connor, Meryl Streep arriving fashionably late, Tracy Chapman singing Fast Car, and Joni Mitchell singing with Brandi Carlile, meanwhile sitting with Remi and Brandy Clark. I'm sure the queen is fine.
livelikemusic Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Now we just need her to walk at the Daytime Emmys where she will win!
MJ Boston Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Queen looked stunning last night. We stan this stylist. 👏
BravoTangoWhiskey Posted February 5 Posted February 5 What a look last night and how great was the Kellyoke recognition. shame she didn’t get the prize, genuinely believe that was a sales/moment influenced win rather than the best pop album, but call it rose tinted glasses given she didn’t perform and there doesn’t seem to be much traction for chemistry the album, I’m very much ready for a new era to be coming soon. People who released at similar times for mine/me are coming for new eras, I hope we get something for this summer if they’re done with the album 1

Is there talk of her recording / having an album ready? Crossing my fingers but I doubt it :/
BravoTangoWhiskey Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Seems like lighthouse is on its way out of the hot ac radio charts. Although its streaming has been consistently okay (comparatively), the big miss this era was definitely not releasing down to you as a single (lead joint with mine would’ve been perfect) as it has about the same dailies as the “singles” RFC, IHL and rock Hudson, despite not having any extra exposure at all. love the music we’re getting with Atlantic, and I do get the release strategy of the songs before the album (I actually think it is how you should play it in the streaming era), there were a few issues with visuals, attention grabbing and song choices. Hopefully lessons learnt for a future era that she wants to use as more than “let’s just get this off my chest and out there” 2

Hopefully lessons learnt for a future era that she wants to use as more than “let’s just get this off my chest and out there” Sad to see Lighthouse's run on radio already trailing off... it's so unfortunate that there is such high quality music, but there has been limited promotion efforts. I agree that DTY should have been released as a single, it was one of the songs that really stood out to me and some of my friends who aren't even Kelly fans as a strong Hot-AC/pop radio friendly ear-worm. I'm ecstatic that Kelly is so happy at Atlantic and that all 3 of her albums under Atlantic are Grammy-nominated albums. However, as a major record label, I don't think we can continue having Atlantic/KC's team use the excuse of learning from their misses for the next era cause they're a massive label and they should know how to market their artists better. I know it's not all on Atlantic given it's also equally on Kelly and her own management to be willing to be innovative and push the record/album more aggressively - which also seems to be an issue. The fact Kelly's version of HTE from Kellyoke has stronger daily streams over the Chemistry tracks says a lot given HTE got a lot more traction on socials especially TikTok. Her team really needs to get innovative when it comes to promotional efforts and her social media presence. Not sure what to expect for 2024.... Belasco show footage? Live Album? Kellyoke 2? Unreleased tracks? But I really hope Kelly's team can capitalize on her current star power, her new look and try and push some new music out to keep general interest up for her music career. It doesn't even have to be a full album - I think putting out some standalone pop singles as droplets to tie fans over until the next era would be great. Alternatively, it'd be nice to see Kelly be a bit more involved in collabs (ex. more country collabs, lending her vocals on a DJ's EDM track) as those types of songs don't require a lot of Kelly's time as those tend to have limited live promotional performances and don't always require a music video. A few ideas I'd like to see (probably unrealistic, but could be interesting for Kelly and her team to explore): - Duets / Covers album - have Kelly do a Covers album with reimagined versions of those songs, but invite the original artists to sing with her on them to make them Duet versions. If Luke Combs is able to get a hit with a cover of Fast Car, who's to say Kelly can't get a hit with a reimagined duets version of a cover (ex. think Elton John & Dua's "Cold Heart") - Country Album - now could be a good opportunity for Kelly to explore a brand new genre and finally release a long-awaited full country album. If done right, Kelly could have a huge Country era and she could have a critically acclaimed country album. Another option would be to explore doing a joint album with another country artist(s) (i.e. Kelsea Ballerini, Brandy Clark, etc.) similar to what Miranda Lambert did with the Pistol Annies. Doing a Country album could also work well with Kelly's schedule since her team seems allergic to any international promotion for her music these days... so she only really needs to focus on the US and Canadian markets (maybe a bit of Australia but we know she hasn't shown Australia any love since the PBP era) if she's promoting a Country album. 1
BoDaToe Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) She said she had an alternate album ready to go in case she didn’t want to release chemistry. Releasing that is the ONLY way I see her releasing an entirely new album and that material is all as old as chemistry so idk. Im sure we’ll probably get kellyoke 2 this summer and she’s hinted at a re-recording/re-imagined album as well. Both those seem like fan service tho and not actually going to be commercial projects. An 80s leaning record could be good for her commercially and it’s actually in Jason’s wheelhouse for production. Although Jason’s production on record is lack luster for me. She needs to work with Max and Greg again. Jessie is also tired and cheap sounding. I want something that sounds as expensive as Stronger. She talked once about doing a dance remix album of her older stuff. If she did it like Mariah does her remixes with new vocals and adlibs that could be cool, but again it’s fan service. She also needs real remix producers and DJs not just letting Jason produce it. Edited February 6 by BoDaToe 4
BravoTangoWhiskey Posted February 6 Posted February 6 All the above is so accurate for how I feel. I also somehow missed the fact she had another album ready to go! I know she’s had some country stuff recorded for a hot minute, I would love to see some of that released as a country EP (seems to be a standard thing to do in the country sphere so again no actual need for financial or time promotion). Country is a growing genre on streaming, and her country-tinged songs (Slow Dance and BYOH) have done well on their respective albums in terms of streaming. we have skirted around the desire to promote etc for a long time, and as you said, a DJ collab would be so perfect for Kelly’s discography and legacy plus would require little to nothing on her part. hopefully we do get some news of a plan to capitalise on the new attention. Linking to the 80s sound, the recent covers of aurora have been so good, I think a song like that from kelly would sound great! 3

BravoTangoWhiskey Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) Re a Kellyoke Classics EP/LP, what would you choose to go on it? For me, my first reaction would be something like: Miss Independent 2024 version Walk Away 2024 version Love So Soft chemistry live version Someone acoustic Never Again piano version (I guess they couldn't call it iTunes Sessions version haha) The Sun Will Rise acoustic Already Gone stripped version Sober 2024 reimagined Because of You/Behind These Hazel Eyes mash up (like the Idol medley but a full song) Cry reimagined Low/JMTT mashup I guess they'd include SUBG and Stronger too Edited February 7 by BravoTangoWhiskey forgot about the amazingness of Low + JMTT

BravoTangoWhiskey Posted February 11 Posted February 11 I’ve never seen a fanbase so insecure over a Kellyoke. Like it’s a totally different take on the song and both versions stand up. Spoiler It’s giving tokio hotel teas Spoiler That said, I hope a Kellyoke vol. 2 is coming soon before some stans of other artists try to turn a “enough of these covers” movement against her (although there seems to be such a good level of goodwill for her atm I don’t really see it happening) 1
Heartbeat Song Posted February 11 Posted February 11 I will be very satisfied this year if we get 1. Kellyoke Volume 2 2. Greatest Hits Reimagined 3. A short special guest role on broadway (longest shot) 1
