.........screamin....... sssoooooo who do we need to write to in order to get this album sooner? Even she doesn't look quite happy with May.

Well… 

When will labels learn that constantly delaying and delaying albums in an attempt to chase a hit that may never come will *never* work? 
 

Artists cannot build fan bases and start touring if they don't have a body of work out there for people to consume. Hopefully it's not a significant delay and hopefully the plan of FUFN/album announcement next month hasn't changed. 

Not May... maybe if you didn't keep messing about with the tracklist it would be out by now...I am the **** girl indeed

I haven't watched the whole podcast (and this may be slightly off topic) but hearing her speak about Jesy was heartbreaking. You could tell she meant a lot to her and it was nice that she spoke about her own feelings rather than taking the opportunity to insult Jesy in any way.

 

I cackled at her response when he asked her about Boyz, that media training is impeccable 

 

 

 

Omg her label is a MESS  they messed up the drops, missed out on taking up the hype of IT Girl right after AOMD and now are pushing the album to nearly summer...

Of course the album doesn't have a release date  How shocking, RCA

Seeing as the interview was recorded in December and they updated the chatbot just last week to start answering questions about the album, I'm thinking a date exists now, even if it's May. Maybe the announcement will happen with FUFN?

Just because this strategy of constant delays ended up working somehow for Dua back in 2017 doesn't mean it can work for everybody 

 

Constantly delaying the album doesn't work in general, you're just killing off the hype for the GP. Dua was lucky to have New Rules which finally broke her into the mainstream but Jade may not have the same chance. Labels are so dumb these days i swear, they have no real strategy anymore, just hoping for a last minute hit so they can finally release the album 

Still hoping this is a slow burn smash. It's so good.

The only positive thing is that she's honest about it. Many many artists have been pushed back but they're not able to say (because of labels I guess) and fans wait forever without any sort of news. 

I'm quite worried but still can't wait hopefully May is actually the final decision.

My God 

 

I hate music industry really 

 

How can 3 girls from one of the biggest girl groups of this generation ( in UK at least )  couldn't sign a contract saying that the album will come out with the 1st single 

 

Releasing the 1st single in July 2024 and HOPING to release the album in May 2025 while having half of the album already out as droplets is really sad 

 

And what is even crazier is that Jade was the least pushed ( radio and live performances ) of the 3 and had the best results and still cannot get a date 

 

 

As for the Boyz comment i liked how she replied , seems like she had an issue also with Jesy doing all the blackfishing stuff 🤔 

I can't be the only one who hears Chaka Khan instead of you can con

May seems far away, but getting the release date when FUFN comes out in Feb doesn't seem that dramatic. As time went on it was obvious the album wasn't coming in Q1 anyway or it would be announced by now

IT girl is doing minus 3 streams as of right now so I can't say I'm shocked

 

It's not only that though, she said the deadline the label gave her to finish the tracklist was January 1st and they probably wanna have vinyls ready by release day, so she's to blame for that 

May is too far. Almost a year after Angel of My Dreams. They've already released 4 songs and to maintain momentum until May, they will need at least 2 more, if not 3. A drawn out rollout would make sense if she had no buzz to begin with but we were ALL gagged and perched the moment Angel dropped and she has the LM fans. I'm not saying the album would have sold 100k copies if it dropped in October/November, but... she was in a position to release earlier. Especially if the rollout was Angel -> It Girl -> FUFN. As much as I LOVE Cowboy and Fantasy, they clearly took some wind out of her sails.

At least the album will be out just in time for all the pride events, she truly is for the gays 

Also, A LOT of videos on Tik Tok using this sound are currently being pushed as Ads and it's so unclear to me whether it's the creators doing it, or whether the label is paying for it.. it's so random  the videos aren't actually promoting anything lol

It's overtaken Angel Of My Dreams to become Jade's top song on Spotify, which neither Fantasy nor MC achieved, so people are clearly streaming it.

I downloaded and listened to this EP on an airplane when i was traveling last week and fell in love. Angel of my dreams is perfection. The entire thing is really/

It's the label; I know people who run one of the fanpages and the label asked for the links for them to sponsor it. It was also notable that initially the only one they pushed was Chappell's.

I just hope that, regardless of how this or FUFN performs on the charts, she does actually end up releasing the album. 
 

I can't cope with a scrapped album or the "I'm going back in the studio because I'm feeling inspired again" bulls*!t pushed by labels. 

I. NEED. THIS. ALBUM.

Welp.

 

Can't say I'm particularly surprised, but it's still disheartening to hear it's aiming for May because it was "pushed back".
 

I'm so sick of labels doing this to bloody good artists.

 

Her chatbot now sends a random picture when you type in "May".

I tried it and got 'hi hun x'. But I type anything else and I get no response except a 'rude' when I type FUFN.
