Danai G Posted April 16 Posted April 16 I just love the fact that we had so many theories and plans about a new album after Eurovision, a new single for Melodifestivalen, a deluxe version of the album after Eurovision...only for Loreen to release an orchestral version of Is It Love and call it a day 😭
Kylie Jenner Posted April 16 Posted April 16 She is either very lazy or has the worst team in the history of the world. I hate it

She has a CRAZY festival season after Eurovision, she's been on the studio for the past year and she seems to prepare for her interval act (maybe).
Danai G Posted April 26 Posted April 26 The new snippet of the upcoming song seems very, VERY promising. This seems like the perfect summer banger and the synths are siiick. I need Loreen's management to be clever with this one and promote it even harder than Is It Love. This seems to have more replay value and it's going to be a banger. I really hope that they have big plans for this. 1
nathanspears Posted April 26 Posted April 26 New snippet is incredible https://twitter.com/LOREEN_TALHAOUI/status/1783917318956781803 So glad we're getting another upbeat song
nathanspears Posted April 28 Posted April 28 The streets are saying the new album is very much Heal and I'm so excited If she can just give me 1 more upbeat/high-energy album to make up for the loss of the OG Paper Light album all will be forgiven. 2

Sounds good and I hope it is true, I would love upbeat electro/ethnic/dance album Personally I dont understand her management, as a two times ESC winner she should have been a huge household name all over Europe. Choice of singles and no release of album etc. is really ridiculous.
Hurem Posted April 28 Posted April 28 How do you win Eurovision twice and fail to capitalize on it both times?

I was expecting the single earlier in the year and then the album around now. They keep ruining the momentum by taking extended breaks and that's a killer in the modern music industry, most artists can't do that and shouldn't The tour was massively successful but again, they didn't capitalize on it. I believe they shot some pro-shot footage of the tour but it's never been released. One theory I have is that we might be getting a documentary of some kind and it might be in there.

Was there more singles? I know just about "is it love" and even that is like "half a song" for me tbh They completely f*cked it up in 2012 and again last year.

Is It Love was good but a bit too short. They should have kept up the momentum after the tour and Is Is Love started to pick up again in numbers.

OK, I thought singles after Tattoo, cause that one I consider the ESC track and not necessarily an "album" track if that makes sense haha However lets see, if she will deliver full album and if it will be good, or just another single and then nothing
AlexLockhart Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Just imagine if she re-record Neon Lights for the album like she did with MHIRM and Sober in 2012 *delulu*

I think that the problem right now is the lost momentum. Don't get me wrong, I know that Loreen is signed to huge labels like Universal, Island Records, Polydor Records and her management team is frickin TAP Music, but I still feel like they didn't capitalise on anything. They could have promoted Tattoo in US or Brazil (thanks to the brazilian version), have Loreen do more appearances and interviews around Europe (and even other countries), release more music etc. I truly support Loreen's strategy by releasing music when she feels like it. It's better to release good songs even if it takes more time than releasing bad songs often. But come on, I really doubt she has recorded any bad songs during the last year, she obviously has many options. It's just that her and her team couldn't capitalise Tattoo's success which is a pity imo. I really hope that her new single will make more noise in Europe, Is It Love was cute but I wouldn't describe it as a European hit.
Mordecai Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Loreen has to be up there alongside Azealia Banks when it comes to the greatest missed opportunities I've seen in popular music. She at the very least should've had a Zara Larsson sized career. Could you imagine if she did a collab with Avicii? The absolute collapse that would've been I hope she's got something new to give us at Eurovision next week
Danai G Posted May 5 Posted May 5 The new album will come next year...There go my hopes for an album announcement during Eurovision and album promo in her festival tour this summer. 🥲 Oh well, we should be a little bit more patient. A new single is coming very soon and Loreen will most likely perform in the Eurovision Grand Final. So, at least we have some things to look forward to!

Her new single is being released by Promised Land Recordings - an indie label in the UK.

Her new single is being released by Promised Land Recordings - an indie label in the UK. I saw that. Omg, this is soooo confusing. Like, why did she change labels all of a sudden? I doubt that Universal or Island Records didn't give her any freedom. Is It Love was a great tribute to her roots and heritage and I don't think that they limited her in terms of budget. Oh well, let's wait to see if we'll learn anything new. Although to be honest, it's sad that she signed to such a smaller label. I doubt that she'll receive the promotion she would had she stayed in Universal but maybe I'll be proven wrong.
Gwendolyn Posted May 12 Posted May 12 I don't think the Eurovision performance will do anything for the song, I saw more complaints than praise. This girl should've been a star in Scandinavia at best after her 2012 win; they forgot about her and they're going to forget again if she doesn't get moving again.
