celeb news Selena: Love On and Single Soon doesn't sound like the album. Not focusing on it tho.

[Selegend]

Soon to be billionaire, miss Gomez is busy with OMITB (started filming last week), Wizards Reboot and Linda Ronstadt biography (reading for the role already started). 

Not retiring music, but for sure focusing on acting more and more. 

Hopes for a 2024 release but doesn't know if she'll be able to do so yet. 

 

 

Full interview for Rolling Stone: 

Selena Gomez ‘Hopes’ An Album Will Come in 2024
Just don't expect it to sound anything like her new single "Love On"

 

 

Last spring, Selena Gomez lived in Paris for two months to film the musical Emilia Perez with Zoe Saldana. The multi-hyphenate couldn’t quite shake how good her life felt there, and she infused her love for the city into the rollout for her new single “Love On.”

 

“I felt like I can be a normal human being there,” she tells Rolling Stone. “I fell in love with everything about it and the life that I lived there for two months.”

Gomez had begun working on “Love On” before she left for Paris and felt the song “solidify” while she was in the City of Love. “It just completely inspired me,” she continues. 

 

 

“Love On” is Gomez’s second single to be released in the last year, following up August’s “Single Soon.” For the star, both songs are reflective of where she’s been at in her life over the nearly two years of recording new music. Where “Single Soon” doubts the potential of a new romance, “Love On” is thrilled by the possibilities of everything it could be. 

“Both of them stand alone in their messaging but I stand by each of them for sure,” she adds.

 

In contrast to fan speculation that one or both are singles off her next full-length album, Gomez says they also stand alone musically, as well. 

“I guess it’s safe to say that ‘Single Soon’ and ‘Love On’ might not be really reflective of the project that I’m working on,” she teases. “They are in spirit, but I’m excited to explore more styles of music, and I think people will hopefully be surprised by the contrast. I like releasing songs that I love and I care about. I just released them into the world and later comes the full album.”

 

 

As for when the next album will be released, Gomez “hopes” it’ll come in 2024 but she’s not sure yet. She does add that the new music is coming “from a place of confidence,” reflecting the “joy and curiosity” she has at the moment. 

“Part of me feels like I’m finally at a good place with everything in my life,” she explains.

 

Gomez’s uncertainty of when the album will come out may be due to how busy she has been outside music. On Friday, she went back to filming her hit series Only Murders in the Building alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short. Recently, it was announced that she would be joining a reboot of Wizards of Waverly Place, the Disney series that launched her career. She will also be playing Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic, for which she has been immersing herself in research completely in the months leading up to filming.

“I’m stepping into someone’s life, and that can be really intimidating,” she says. “But I’m beyond inspired by [Linda], and I know too much about her at this point.”

 

If it seems like Gomez’s focus is currently on film and television, that observation would be correct. She commented on a podcast earlier this year that her next album may be her last. She’s softened her view on the finality of her music career, but it remains true that she is more inclined to put her energy into acting in the immediate future.

 

 

“I think it’s natural for people to take breaks, but I think for me, there is a whole other aspect to my life, pride and joy,” Gomez explains. “I love film. I love TV. I just feel like I haven’t done a lot of the things that I want to do in that space. It’s not that it’s ‘no, never’ [to music], it’s more that I would like to explore that world a bit more and have the time to actually do that.”

 

The Golden Globe nominee was nominated earlier this year for her role on Only Murders, and she’s looking forward to taking on more challenging roles. “I love being able to take roles that I have to fight for, not the ones that are being handed to me,” she says. “I’m going for the stuff that really, really inspires me.”

 

Still, that doesn’t take away from her excitement to have “Love On” in the world, and she’s hoping the joy she felt while I recording the song and shooting the video is palpable to those listening and watching. 

“All I want to do at the end of the day is make people happy.”

all your music sound the same generic julia michaels writing camp h&m playlist whisper vocal pop selena girl... she can not be serious about 'experimenting' more styles of music 

[Selegend]

me as a stan is glad that she's in a better place and is enjoying releasing music for fun and i'm also happy about the way the album will be different from it

 

a great interview in my pov, always knew she wouldn't retire, just not focus on music anymore. 

she really enjoy being on the studio, filming videos and stuff, i think she'll never 100% stop but it's her right to focus on other ventures and it's not only her right -- it makes sense in a career pespective way! 

Only Murders in the Building keeping that stellar cast is amazing for her and i'm very excited about the Linda biopic too!

but how can it be damage control if she's really filming OMITB (it started friday) and she's really working on Wizards Rebot and the Linda biopic? 

like, those things were already scheduled. 

 

the only explanation would be ZERO (but like... ZERO) promo for it. 

she didn't perform Rare but it had some promo tbh... 

 

[k4rmabutterfly]

I think the album is scrapped tbh. She clearly wanted the album to be fun pop as she’s said multiple times, but the public said no. 

[MonsterNavy]

another quality album coming  

 

Revival

Droplets era

Rare

Revelacion

 

SS & LO were cute but couldve been released years ago. i'm glad the quality of the new album isn't leaning towards these two tbh

[XDNA]

Glad to hear. Selena has so many exciting projects coming up.

[wish]

At this point I'm kind of losing hope in this album. She can't just keep delaying it while giving us the same quality of generic pop. 

 

I'm hoping the third time's a charm & the next single is the one to truly kickstart the era.

[hallucinate]

yay

bring the sultry bops back please

[Bussea]

I liked both singles tbh but I know she can do better. 

 

I’m still excited for a Selena album and hope she works with different writers and producers. If she can give something like this….
