Danai G Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Leigh-Anne's fans sharing the Forbidden fruit teaser from discord even though Leigh-Anne said "Just for you my discordian legion" 😭 Maybe I misunderstood it but to me, it's clear that this was meant to be a teaser for the fans who are on discord and not something to be shared on social media. I will obviously not share the video and if someone was planning to post it there, please don't do it 🙏

tbhmatt Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Of course, any judgement for the song will be reserved until the final product is released!

If she really wanted it to be exclusive she wouldn't have posted it on a public discord that anyone can join. 1
tbhmatt Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I stopped tracking the streams since it looked pretty hopeless but if this is accurate then it's not too bad? When I stopped tracking it was doing well below 100k

I expect minimal but sick choreo and good visuals too.
The Slayer Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Honestly, the second she posted that 'Forbidden Fruit' snippet I hated it I hate being so negative as I loved Leigh in Little Mix but it's not doing it for me, BUT the video did look the tiniest bit better than the crap we got for Stealin' Love. Also, I agree it's so stupid for her to say 'just for the fans in discord', like the user said she knew it would get shared.

Yes, all she needs is just better camera angles, better choreo, maybe an outfit change or two.. it doesn't take a lot to make a low budget video look interesting. I am looking forward to the video, hopefully I like the song. 2 minutes ago, The Slayer said: ddddd 1

tbhmatt Posted April 11 Posted April 11 1 minute ago, The Slayer said: the list, you're killing me fff I genuinely didn't mean it to come across that way I just meant that, with the material/resources she had, there's little things that could easily be done to make the visuals a little more engaging that don't require a big budget 2
Danai G Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Okay, kinda expected that we will not get the album this year but still, it's so sad seeing that her album got delayed/scrapped due to the singles' performances... I am still hyped for the EP, by releasing it, it will give more new music and it will show what we should probably expect from the album. Let's hope that everything will work out for her.
Danai G Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Actually, you know what? Now that I think about it, a debut album in 2025 won't be a bad idea. 1) Literally everyone and their mothers are releasing an album this year which leaves no room for competition, especially for new artists. 2) Leigh-Anne doesn't have a big fanbase in order to release an album because it'll most likely be lost. If the EP is good and if she's consistent enough, more people will become interested to her music and a potential album. 3) If she's planning to do more solo shows across UK and Europe, that will attract a bigger audience and will get the fans more excited for what's to come. 4) She will have time to perfect her sound, grow more confident into her performances and make the album even better. 1 1
The Slayer Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Yikes. Although an early 2025 release could be could as usually it is quieter.
alexaalto Posted April 11 Posted April 11 "hoping" early next year means it could come in may or in the summer or 1,5 years from now possibly if there comes any problems/setbacks etc. 2 years after the og album rollout started. but at least we got 2 singles and 5 track EP from her and in the meantime Pez's & Jade's projects/singles, Jesy seems to be quite off the radar so no hopes on that yet.

Jesy's been travelling again and recently got back from a month long trip to Australia. She's sold her house and bought a new one and a £250k car! She replied to someone when she'd work again and release music and she replied 'when I want to ❤️' - atleast she actually seems happy and healthy now.

I think that she could release it in spring or even summer of 2025, especially if the album contains more songs like My Love and Don't Say Love which are decent songs for the summer season 1
prézli Posted April 12 Posted April 12 This is her best song so far. It appears on my Spotify very often.
tbhmatt Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I still really enjoy this. She sounds gorgeous, especially in the beginning when she's in her lower register. Still missing some adlibs towards the end though. I've had this and My Love on repeat way more than Don't Say Love. All three strong offerings though, in my opinion. It's a shame this just kind of came and went. 1
glitch Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Q1, especially January and February, is a favourite time for labels to push out flop albums due to the lack of competition. Just thinking recently, Years & Years last album and Zara's last couple. So it's not that unrealistic

Glad to see she's still excited though and is finding a way to continue to get material out! We don't need a normani situation

We don't need a normani situation That's true. At least it's guaranteed that we will get an EP. No way her label will delay this too... Forbidden Fruit will most likely be her next release. The snippets sound very promising and the teaser she posted on her discord seems stunning. Edited April 12 by Danai G 1

They could start the rollout in fall this year, once the full EP will be out and then they could continue the promo in winter. But if her album has more songs like My Love and Don't Say Love, then a summer release would be also ideal.
