goldstargay Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I enjoyed all 3 tracks so hopefully an album materializes..... This is still such a chill bop.
tbhmatt Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Well, it's… a video, that's for sure. I was expecting it to be low budget and choreography based but there didn't seem to be much actual dancing? I think they could have done more with what they had but at least she's putting the effort in.
The Slayer Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I love the idea of doing a video like this but I don't think it translated well? It's just missing something, there's no spark? I do applaud her making the effort to do a video on an obviously tiny budget, atleast she's giving something. I think miming along to the song would have even made a big difference to the video overall... It's weird she's just jerking around to the song but no effort to lip the song? a choice.

I agree that the vision was there but it wasn't quite executed as well as it could have been. I am interested to see what the other videos are like, I assume she filmed them all at the same location. 1
Danai G Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Okay so the articles about Warner Music not giving Leigh-Anne the budget for a music video were wrong and right at the same time. This is a lovely video but as some people already mentioned, I don't think that the idea was executed that well. I also think that it's weird that she didn't even sing at least a few parts, although that would probably mean that this is a music video. It's clear that the budget is not as big as the previous two singles which is such a shame in my opinion. Had Leigh-Anne's label and team supported her more, they could create a cute, dramatic music video full of angst and interesting visuals. It could be minimal, not very expensive but I guess for now that'll do it.
Danai G Posted April 5 Posted April 5 1 hour ago, The Slayer said: Obviously not as I was not one of the people praising it to high heavens She's so going to brush this off as a promo single, despite her saying there will be a video. At this point, we should just be happy for her releasing the music she wants to and not build high expectations because we are going to be disappointed. 😭 I never had high expectations for Stealing Love, don't get me wrong, it's a lovely song, I love the vocals and the lyrics but it was obvious it wasn't going to chart... Let's just hope that the streams will continue to rise though. Unfortunately on iTunes it has been disappeared from basically almost all of the countries it previously charted...
WERKER Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I've been really quiet in this thread for a while now and it's because I don't really know what to say. I like the music and the visuals are cute but I just feel really deflated and I can't even pinpoint why. It isn't the lack of success, I guess it's the fact that everything seems lacklustre. I'll support Leigh no matter what but something hasn't clicked for me.

The songs so far are very interesting, the visuals are stunning but...I still feel that's something is missing.
Danai G Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Okay, this is interesting to hear and if it's true, then I expect more promo once the EP is out. More interviews, more budget, more shows etc.

I totally agree that My Love is superior by miles. As much as I understand why she'll go for something more minimal for the EP since she doesn't have the budget for something more expensive...what did she mean that promo will come again? Like, even though she's not releasing an album, shouldn't she and her team still promote her music? Isn't this another reason why she's releasing the EP, to gain a new audience since she cannot release an album yet? Oh boy, don't tell me that her label will do nothing to promote her music...

Exactly I'm so confused, that's why I think she's BS'ing. Surely it'd make sense to promote this EP and the songs and videos she's making for it, otherwise what's the point? How's she supposed to get a new audience if it's not promoted. To me it seems the label doesn't want to put in the funds on a big video/promo due to the underperformance of the other two singles. It's just so weird… Leigh-Anne would love to promote this stuff. It makes it sound like she doesn't like the previous singles to what will be on the EP and the promo will come with a more conventional song she doesn't like as much that she'll then promote? I think she's just saying BS to save face. I feel like idea/vision for this video was good but it's been executed so terribly, in my opinion this has not been a decent video or close to it. I hope the other videos are not like this… 2

Lady Claire Posted April 6 Posted April 6 I loved DSL and My Love, but this is extremely underwhelming and should've been an album track at best.
Sad Beautiful Tragic Posted April 6 Posted April 6 7 minutes ago, The Slayer said: So the music video got 40k views on Youtube in 24hrs. Do you stan her unironically? Because these posts are giving "Perrie will prove she's the Beyoncé of Girls Aloud"

Because these posts are giving "Perrie will prove she's the Beyoncé of Girls Aloud" I mean, i've repeatedly said her solo career has been disappointing and the songs have just been decent and this song has flopped. So i'm not sure what you're trying to achieve as i've been quite critical/honest about her? Also, it is not normal to spend so much time thinking about someone you dislike this much This is not normal behaviour, you spend a lot of time in Leigh-Anne threads, thinking about Leigh-Anne, posting about Leigh-Anne... I'll assume it is because you are not used to the ex-girl group member you stan releasing music so you have to get off somewhere else. Edited April 6 by The Slayer
