professor2000 Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 It was clear after those clips that she needed to go back to the drawing board. I was rooting for her. But this is giving me Normani teas.
popularmoonlight Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Labels are honestly destroying the music industry. They expect artists to get huge hits - but they simply refuse to do anything for them to get those hits. Like? Heavy promotion, interviews, like old days. They want an easy hit without actually trying. Maybe if they let all these girls release their albums, a hit would come out of it. How do you expect to have a hit if you don't have a catalogue? Makes no sense. Poor Chloe.

Makes no sense. Poor Chloe. She had heavy promotion. What exactly do you mean? This is how most labels would operate back in the day. She’s lucky because back then, if you couldn’t sell your first few singles, the label would drop you.

Artists would perform their singles a hundred times in different places before they became smashes. She did get a good push when released Have Mercy - and then I wonder, why not release the album at that time? There was hype and there were people checking.

Was she not on every red carpet from then until now? She performed at the VMAs, AMAs, and the BET Awards. Let’s not forget all of the platforms she was featured on including an international Hulu ad and all of the interviews. She should’ve had her album done and then presented it to the label. You don’t make three songs, release one, and then say ‘Oh, I want to release an album! Let’s work on more music’ That’s not how it works. What Halle is doing is what Chloe should’ve did. Record a lot first.
fauxtography Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 I feel like labels are still stuck in this gray area where they still wont fund an album rollout by a new artist without a smash hit, but we're in the day and age of streaming where hits are less instant than they used to be. RELEASE IT BEYONCE

Well, if no smash hit came from the songs released then they probably think nothing else is worth it 1 hour ago, fauxtography said: I feel like labels are still stuck in this gray area where they still wont fund an album rollout by a new artist without a smash hit, but we're in the day and age of streaming where hits are less instant than they used to be. Utter dumbness to be honest. They should put these albums out and make them work to get the money back!
Maestro Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 9 hours ago, Rotunda said: I only say this because it seems like Chloe and Halle have not had a hard time getting their previous albums out without hits (The Kids Are Alright had none, Ungodly Hour only had Do It which did worse than Have Mercy, and there were two projects the girls had before these two). Yeah it is a little strange they’re not following the same method as the Chloe + Halle releases
Scandalous Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 i like Chlöe and am excited to hear her stuff but this overly sexual image/music she’s trying just comes off as so inauthentic
La Reina Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 Labels are so backwards if they're waiting for a "hit" to release an album because it costs zero to upload an album onto digital and streaming platforms. From there, the album can gain some streams and traction, the artist can promote it, and a song or two could even get picked up on TikTok. The most they'd have to spend is on playlisting. Then if it's doing well, they can print CDs, vinyls, merch, etc. to keep selling the album. What's important is that the music is out there so people have something to stream. Waiting on a "hit" is not sustainable because a hit doesn't guarantee a successful album nor a music career.
