ZIVERT Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Her 2012 dance album "Heartbreak on Hold" popularized the expression "there's an elephant in the room" in the UK, but the album was essentially a flop. With a dance revival upon us, was the Let It Go songstress ahead of her time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NausAllien Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Her first two albums were amazing. I don't understand why "Heartbreak on Hold" flopped. I wish she had released the title track as single instead of "Elephant." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyride Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 she was TOO good. I wish with all my heart that the public hadn't dropped her like that. so much talent wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should have pushed Tonight as an official single, it probably would have smashed in Central/Eastern Europe since it samples one of the biggest Russian language dance hits.

pavi Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I loved this album back then and I still enjoy it from time to time, but let's not pretend she was ahead of her time here That sound was overdone and dead on arrival when it came out and it still sounds very dated and of its time (and not in the 'it's cool, let's revive it' way) Title track, Let It Go, Oh La La, Beating Still, Elephant, Fire all still bop tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theshigo Washidu Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I guess with the Elephant phrase, yes but the EDM sound was popular at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
