wraith Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Flop streams aside, the album slaps Like a Saviour, Easy Lover, Cure for Love are on repeat like it is crack to me
OhMyAlf Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Also was at the Birmingham signing solo today and she really was sweet although super rushed her manager (I assume) got funny with me asking for her to write something on the vinyl, although she low key just ignored him anyway Also got back to my coloured vinyl arriving and it's a stunning deep orange colour Edited April 8, 2023 by OhMyAlf
Cherish Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 This album isn’t that bad actually. I hate that Ellie revealed it’s impersonal. It kinda bugs me, idk why but it’s still a fun album. We needed her to keep the solo version of Easy Lover on the album. Big Sean just ruins the flow of the album.

Tbf all of her albums were really personal and had tons of lyrical depth. If she did that with Halcyon, BB or even Delirium it would've been weird, but with this one, it makes sense and is funny
Haze Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 I'm unsurprised but sad by the streams. Hopefully the decent reviews and good word of mouth will create some goodwill, because as a pure pop experience, it's actually a good album. Lyrically too, even if they're a far cry from her best work, she does capture the specific mood really well. I still maintain the absolute dreadful BB campaign killed the last of her fan base (and by that I mean all the EG.0 releases). By the time Power came around, nobody was checking her. And then this campaign was an absolute flop too.

nathanspears Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 These streams... turns out delaying the album for months, releasing half of it early, pivoting onto a single not associated with the album etc. was a bad idea

ARTPØP Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Just happy that the album is finally released, idc about numbers tbh! Good pop music is still good pop music and Ellie can simply do no wrong
TheseThingsHappen Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Better Man is really one of the best songs she's ever released. It's sooo good.

Psycho Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 AOTY trinity is Like A Saviour, Temptation and Tastes Like You but there are several incredible songs and almost no misses

Temporal Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 I mean god willing this album will have legs but christ those numbers are abysmal, especially for her IfJust For You got the video instead of Better Man she’d be smashing!

Sazare Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 Wanted to like this album more but it’s mostly just okay. Probably an improvement over Brightest Blue and Delirium but I’m afraid she’s never again touching Halcyon or Bright Lights. I’ll give it a few more streams for good measure
Delirious Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 I mean...this was exactly the number I was expecting so I'm not surprised in the slightest 💀
Delirious Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 Diamonds & dance floors did 5.7m debut streams so 1.7m is quite bad but I think its pure sales are gonna be better (or at least I hope so)
