Self Esteem - A Complicated Woman (1 Viewer)

This one should really have a hit on it. It feels like it's NOW OR NEVER for her
 
I mean I like it quite a lot, but on the strength of that track alone, where's the progression? It sounds like it was lifted straight off Prioritise Pleasure.

Unless the plan is just to put that out quietly as a reminder of who she is, I suppose.

I'm not sold on this one yet. It kind of feels like an X Factor version of the big songs from Prioritise Pleasure.
 
She’s released a few things over the past year - Big Man, Love Second Music First - which sound quite a departure from PP

So we shall see

Enjoyed both of these tracks but they don't seem to be listed on the new album sadly
 
I prefer Love Second Music First of those two. They were different for her but I wouldn't say either are top tier.
 
No id agree, which is probably why they’re not on the album, but I think are evident of some experimentation.

Maybe this first single is a bridging track between projects
 
I don’t know if it’s META, the inauguration and the gradual rolling back of LGBT rights but this is HITTING this morning
 
It was GREAT:



This plus the interview Fetch posted have made me interested in the new album

Quite good on first listen

I absolutely LOVE THIS now. I hope it takes off, although the 59k views on this youtube are a bit of a worry.

6 Music seem to be caning it at least.
 
I really like her but I am very over the uplifting choir thing. I hope it isn't all over the new album.
 
The tour is selling pretty well. she had to add another night in Glasgow and a few other dates are low on availability. It's not as if she had a ream of actual hits from Prioritise Pleasure.
 
she seems to have enough of a fanbase to tour etc and probably the album will open well. but the last two singles having sub 200k on Spotify is awful. Sophie E-B's last one is almost at 500k after two weeks.

I do agree the music is mostly not very good this time
 
Not sure she did huge numbers on streaming last era did she? Having been to the West End theatre album launch show, it seems her audience there at least was largely 35 plus, so not likely tp be streaming the shit out of what she releases.

I was not hugely sold on the new material until seeing it live this week, and she sells the hell out of it (which is what got me on board last album tbh after seeing her at festivals). I am really looking forward to the album on Friday, stand outs (bar the singles) on first listen from the show were Mother, The Curse, The Deep Blue OK, and one that even feels like it could be a tik tok Hot To Go type Tik Tok hit, might be called Cheers To Me?! If you were a fan of the last album, I don't think you'll be disappointed with the new one.

Her biggest hit, I Do This All The Time, is just shy of 10m, so no she’s never been a streaming force. But still, her last album was such a slow-burn breakthrough that you’d think the hope would be that she’d be able to build on it. For her to be struggling to clear 200k suggests the new stuff just isn’t connecting…
