Cbreezy Posted August 23 Posted August 23 I'm admittedly flabbergasted that this is actually coming out. Positively so. Labels are ruthless, so them not having a charting single so far this this era didn't fill me with hope. IMO, they are not totally out of the woods, as something from the album will need to stick for them to stay on the label. Hearing all the notable/big names they've worked with all sounds like $$$$ to me. Meaning there's a need for them to make it back. But knowing there's so many tracks on the album is encouraging in that it gives them a lot of opportunities for something to catch on organically. They may also debut a unique trajectory where they sell albums and tours but aren't single smashers. Again, I'm just glad it's actually coming out. It's refreshing to see a label just go for it and I hope it's a case of them having it as a clause in their contract that the album has to come out legally. As it's been proven over and over to be a fruitless exercise delaying albums or throwing out endless "first-singles" when **the** breakthrough song may be one no one even thought of on the broader project. 8
goldstargay Posted August 23 Posted August 23 NOVEMBER?! ugh -- i am so rooting for them but the album should have been out! i can't wait to see the tracklist, i hope this is full on 90s/00 r&b
ChooseyLover Posted August 24 Posted August 24 Now that Jorja confirmed that Caught Up is part of the tracklist (ugh)... Does anyone know if Fly Girl will be too?

My outlook is not as positive considering the label should've let the album come out years ago but I'm also glad it's finally happening. 1

So November makes sense IMO. UK album sales are really not **that hard** to accumulate in terms of charts, so they could possibly scrape a top 10 with literally 7k-10k. So, for optics (and for a group with no hit singles from the era) a well-charting album debut is really the move. Plus, once it's out it's out. So they by default would have a ton of new music to promote, can tour, do festivals etc. It'll keep them booked and busy. The label will still want to recoup on album spend, so they aren't out of the woods yet (IMO) but this at least keeps them working through 2025.
Alex Posted August 24 Posted August 24 very happy that all the singles post Walk Like This are on the album I really hope something catches on for them, Check should've been the one.

kyliefever2002 Posted August 29 Posted August 29 16 tracks track 4 - walk like this track 7 - check track 9 - bending my rules track 11 - caught up https://music.apple.com/nz/album/access-all-areas/1764571525
alexaalto Posted August 29 Posted August 29 weird not to include Fly Girl, one of their most streamed song on Spotify
hallucinate Posted August 29 Posted August 29 (edited) ugh i really wish fly girl was included in the album… Edited August 29 by hallucinate
ariesgroove Posted August 30 Posted August 30 the 4 songs we've gotten from this album already are INSANE beyond ready for nov 15!! 3
Bandito Posted August 30 Posted August 30 If the deluxe is where the features are going, surely Fly Girl will be tacked on to add to the album's streaming numbers. 2
ChooseyLover Posted August 30 Posted August 30 I love how straight up R&B sounding this project is gonna be. Probably the first time since Craig David that an UK act has tried this hard to make the genre cool again. They've got me on lock fr fr.

ToraeGilt Posted August 30 Posted August 30 These snippets are HITTING!! I am ready for this album. I really need something to take off once the album drops. These girls are too talented to to waste. And you can see they are hungry for this. 1
