This is much better than I was expecting. I do think the overall meaning gets lost but it's certainly catchy. Wish the verses were refined just a bit more. Let's add Aben to these sessions and I think we'll have a really solid team. Seeing her tonight and tomorrow!

I said this when it came out, but I much prefer a simple, but well executed, video like WHYB when the budget isn't there. The most egregious videos in Kelly's career have happened when they were trying to do too much with a shoestring budget.

Did we ever get more information about the second You+Me album they were supposed to start working on?

Are there any videos of her interacting with the crowd mid-song? I've really been enjoying her comeback and want these to be truly live performances, but I'm just not buying it. Even the assertions that she's singing along to a backing track aren't accurate. She's clearly miming to pre-recorded vocals, which is fine if that makes her feel more comfortable.

I really love Viva Forever. It makes me so nostalgic for the '90s.

Saw her in Chicago last night - the setlist was immaculate and the crowd was singing every word. I say this all the time, but Alessia deserves the world. She's so incredibly talented and down to earth. Whatever happens after this era, it's been a pleasure being her fan for the last decade.

Really like Easy and Clean. Acoustic Dead Man actually made me appreciate the song more.

Yeah, I agree. I was so impressed with her debut EP and album. She had seemed to hint that she was dropped, but she's still listed on the Elektra website. Hopefully she continues to be given a push.

I think this perhaps provides more evidence to speculation that they're likely recording portions of these shows - making it all the more vital that her voice be in top shape.

They've thrown everything at this project and it just isn't sticking with the public. I'd be surprised if he gets a push like this a second time.

I LOVE clearly. Can't wait to experience it live. I'm still holding out hope that something can break through from this album and have a viral moment. She deserves it so much.

Agree - I've been singing it all day. Has definitely grown on me. Actually love the simplicity of the video too. Would've preferred something like this over their attempts in the past to do more elaborate/empowering concepts on a budget.

I think they just uploaded the video a second time to her YouTube channel? Probably because it seems like the first one isn't monetized (have yet to see an ad on it). Not that Kelly's in a place where YouTube streams matter, but it looks messy. Obviously another growing pain of this indie era. Hopefully they're learning a lot. haha

Yeah, I'm a little let down by this. I think my expectations were high because I've loved so much of her material that never got released (Empty Handed, Close Your Eyes, DEGUOM, I Can't Lose and MANY others). I also know this isn't where she is in her life (she's been very open about not dating) - so I don't even have that to hang onto. Hoping this is the first taste of a full body of work.

Very happy with the setlist and the songs she included from ITM. Really wish she would forget about 'How Far I'll Go'. It sticks out like a sore thumb in her catalog and any of the kids who cared about her singing it have no doubt aged out by now. I was shocked at how many children were taken to her shows in 2019 seemingly just to hear that song.

She looks stunning in that clip. Can't wait!

He's proof that you can literally have all the ingredients - the right look, talent, label support, paired with the right writers/producers, etc - and it just doesn't hit.

It's maddening that an artist this talented is allowed to be ignored to this degree. I was randomly thinking the other day that if she had somehow managed to find a new label before this era and delivered this exact album to a team with some interest in 're-launching' her…I know it would've found success. Of course, leaving Def Jam would be risky since the only reason she's managed to stay signed is due to their weak roster…but I think it would be worth the risk for her.

US leg of the tour officially postponed. Not surprising. I'm actually relieved for her. Hopefully she reschedules with more appropriately sized venues.

Like many of you I would've loved for 'Let Me Down' to get a moment in the spotlight. I love it as much now as I did then. Did we ever find out who it was about? I believe I remember her saying she skipped a Pilates class and wrote it in the parking lot. I've always believed it was about her brother, but I'm not sure where I picked that up.

Which powerhouse vocalist has re-peaked (and in my opinion Kelly has surpassed her vocal peak) in their 40's?? She's incredible.

Love 'I'm Moving On'. Definitely brings back sentimental memories of downloading low-res videos of her performing it with Trey Graham during the Hazel Eyes Tour. Really wish they would've found a way to release 'What Hurts The Most' with her as it was originally intended.

Ticket sales for her Chicago show are abysmal. She should be playing a much smaller venue. Wanted to buy tickets but I'm not even confident the show is going to happen at this point. Opening night in Boston is a month away and the VAST majority of tickets are still available. Smaller GA-only dates seem to be selling well though. Rooting for her always.

It's honestly the song that's been stuck in my head the most, so let's see what happens.

I'll always say that the oversized suit she was wearing during her sophomore era really did a number on her career. Aside from it just looking ridiculous, her entire debut era she had fought to send the message that an artist's appearance shouldn't matter as much as it does in the music industry, only to then turn around and make a creative decision that drew attention to her appearance. The music on that album was great, but her wardrobe ironically ended up being a huge distraction. I'll never understand that move.
