The Slayer Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 1 minute ago, Cbreezy said: She apparently has. The CDs had me thinking they were going for a big-ish first week, as there are no guarantees beyond that point. However, a lot of her promo seems weeks away (like Live Lounge), so maybe the strategy has switched to slow and steady. Gonna sound like a broken record, but the fact they wasted the curiosity buzz on DSL over this is insane to me. I don't know she seems to be kinda 'begging' for people to buy on Twitter, so I don't get why they don't drop the Capital acoustic performance which has already been recorded as that'll go towards the charts.
tbhmatt Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 They’re surely saving any “promotional” performances for maximum chart impact. No point dropping everything in week one to end up with another frontloaded first week and then watch the song flop in to oblivion six weeks later when they’ve got no more ticks left up their sleeve. If they time remix and performance releases right, they can (maybe) prolong its chart run. I’m also going to need everyone in this thread to stop mentioning Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton too please, ddd. Neither of those shows are currently on air right now ffs She has a Radio 1 Live Lounge performance for next month, let’s all stop worrying about “promo” and look forward to enjoying the content and a live performance. What song do we think she will cover?

What song do we think she will cover? I am talking about the basics, like a TV interview. DSL flopped into oblivion after the 2nd week and we were waiting for something and nothing came. It is entirely reasonable to expect her to due TV interview during release week like most artists do. I'm still shocked there was no interview on This Morning/The One Show for her debut single... IDC about pointless interviews about Carnival months after DSL. 1

KKKIMO92 Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Just came here to say that this is a total bop, what a shame they wasted the buzz on DSL over this......Totally ruined her buzz.

Sharamee6 Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 I can't stop listening to this song. It's addictive.

Bless her she looked really nervous but she did good. I hope that she gets the opportunity to do a full production performance. The video and the dancing really elevates the song even further, so bringing that to life on stage would be epic. The forest scene at the end with all of the greenery and the trees surrounding her would be a brilliant staging concept for a live performance.

That would be amazing, I wonder if she'd have a shot at performing at the EMA's?

She got back at an IG user under the reel speaking about it. She posted the man talking vocal emoji. I doubt anything’s set in stone yet, but I do think there’s high chances.
tbhmatt Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Leigh will be on the Capital FM evening show tomorrow with Jimmy Hill Her BBC Live Lounge show is confirmed for October 10th
WERKER Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 I'm sure I have a very unpopular opinion based from that performance I need to see the energy you gave in the video on the stage Leigh because that Capital performance and the club performance we have for DSL is making me worry that she's too nervous without the other girls on stage

The club ones were a mess I do have faith she'll go out for an award show! 1

Cbreezy Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Good to see her booking things. It still feels kind of ad hoc, though, and not as well-oiled/strategically aligned with her release week compared to her launch for DSL. That said, I do think all these slots are good to build her up, as it's clear that the Little Mix goodwill can only carry so far and that she's effectively starting from scratch. I have a feeling a big production performance could be that "boom" moment that makes the GP sit up and pay attention. At this point, I get the sense that they are going for as high a debut as they can and are taking a slow and steady approach thereafter. Whether that was the "plan" initially or not.
tbhmatt Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Still N/A on Spotify. This sadly doesn’t really stand much of a chance without Spotify’s support. On a more positive note, she is about to surpass 100k subscribers on YouTube. She had under 90k before the song dropped, so she is at least building her audience.
