single JADE - "FUFN"

[smartalek22]

Tbh I was a little worried about the rollout this album was going for, but I think it's gonna work out in the end, she continues to serve bops / visuals which keeps the fans invested. I feel like Fantasy and maybe some other songs will see a resurgence with the album

The rollout has been very straight forward. It's not confusing in the slightest. What don't people get? We get a promotional single in between a single that's been pushed on radio. February is 8 weeks away. You're still getting a promo single next month before FUFN. You're essentially 6 singles deep. Most of the pop girls struggle to move past single 2. You're being fed. Enjoy the music. She's giving you an era 

I know where you're coming from sis but if you get an album and you've already heard half of it, it's safe to say something went wrong.

I miss the good old days when the girls would drop their first single/video then just give us the album shortly thereafter.  These multi-year lead-ups to an album just kill any and all momentum and often interest from the GP.

that's only true for already established artists which she obviously is not

we're talking about a debut album. we're supposed to get to know her more before that.

it makes sense to release that many single when they are doing well, which is not the case, unfortunately

I don't agree with you, when you have a hit single, that's when you should rush your album release to get all the hype. It's not the case with Jade, so she's building her fan-base before the album moment.

 

Perrie and Leigh-Anne released their singles before Jade and y'all ain't coming for them about not releasing an album

Jade is a Visual Artiste and I much prefer this roll out to the alternative which probably would have been the album being released after 'Angel…' and the campaign ending after 'Fantasy' flopped.

I don't understand how more content is a bad thing in 2025. Chappell smashed because she had a full album out and a lot of content pre-Good Luck Babe. They've done an amazing job to build hype around Jade and she's slowly crossing over to a larger pop fanbase unlike the approach her band mates did.

Can't think of any debut era with so many droplets before the actual album release. This is something I've only seen Shakira do with her last two flop albums.

 

Personally it upsets me when I've heard so many songs from an album before its release. When it's more than three it starts bugging me. Hopefully the album will have 14-16 tracks instead of 12.

I think this is much more fun where you get the 'First Single' excitement 5 times then don't need to worry about post album singles flopping and shortening the campaign/no more music videos.

 

if 'FUFN' was the last single, album is released then Jade had the 2nd albums first single out in July I'd certainly be fine with that.

The era is being fun so far ngl. Just a bit unconventional but maybe that's the whole point and it goes well with what she's trying to do.

 

Not sure if I agree with the post album singles thing you say tho. Post singles are meant to promote the body of work and make people check the rest of the record, which right now is like a castle in the sky. But if the next single becomes as big or bigger than AOMD, maybe it'll be worth it.

 

I don't know much about marketing tho, I was just talking from a listener perspective and how I enjoy music. When an artist starts dropping a lot of droplets I just stop listening and wait for the whole album instead for a better experience.

to be honest I'm happy with getting so much material before the album, the other LM girls have failed to generate any hype whatsoever

Would I have been happy to delay 'Bionic' and 'Lotus' release by 6 months and gotten 2/3 more singles/videos from each? YES!
 

Would I have been happy to delay 'ARTPOP' 'Joanne' and 'Chromatica's release by 6 months and gotten 2/3 more singles/videos from each? YES!

 

The albums will exist forever, but once the eras are over, you can't go back.

I think the key is making each single feel like a moment. Visuals definitely add up to the fantasy (pun intended). It can either be entertaining or incredibly insufferable.

 

She's handling it well, honestly.

Dua Lipa released six singles before her debut album dropped lmao

[Sazare]

I do feel like we really should've gotten the album by now (6+ months from lead single to album is ridiculous for any artist no matter how established) but I don't think it's exactly all that surprising nobody was rushing to release the album on the heels of Fantasy

That's because no one wants to hear an album from those two (especially Perrie)

Let's not come for my Per-Per, loved everything she has served for her solo career too (except 'MM&I which made my nose bleed and caused Demons to manifest in my house) and I'm excited for her Solo album too

not bad for the woman who used a Sheeran reject on her debut (which was the most anticipating from LM) as a solo singer

Let's not act like all the Solo Mixers aren't experiencing struggle and strife sis.

I don't even really care if the album comes and there's not 10 new songs. It just lengths the rollout which is a fine promotional tactic. Don't see why people have an issue with that… surprise releasing or releasing in bulk is more work to pay attention to and tends to last much shorter and is harder to upkeep. Makes no sense for an artist like her to do that. I like how they're rolling it out
