Lelewlovebird

Interesting take! I always thought Naked, Can't Breathe or My Hands would have been better singles than I Got You. And I'd probably lowkey swap Love Letter with Let It Rain or Lost Then Found (not to mention scrapped songs like Scene of the Crime or Save Myself that could've made the album).

It's been mentioned a couple times here but Fefe Dobson's Firebird is an interesting album (did a run through it for the first time in a while earlier). Pretty sure she said in the lead up to Emotion Sickness that she herself pulled the plug because she was afraid of how people would view it compared to Joy (and specifically that they would think Firebird wasn't as good). Honestly I don't think it lives up to Sunday Love or Joy but it's interesting that after label struggles and whatnot, that she would cancel it herself. I'm sure the label was hesitant as well though since the singles didn't make much noise. Still pretty good as an album, some cool atmospheric stuff on the title track and Charge, good pop moments on Cloud Nine, In Better Hands, Save Myself. Fefe probably has a very limited amount of fans here, but I had some thoughts after not hearing the album for a while.

Potentially, yeah. I'm not sure how many circles her unreleased material is in, but I think compared to a bunch of other artists, there's not as much floating around. Insiders here or there and people connected to them have access to more but I don't think there's a huge amount of people with her content to even hide it. I'm also not consistently on here/other similar forums so maybe you've run into more of these people though lol

And to think that Leona actually had a pretty good run (4 albums under them). I'm sure there's other reasons but they'd always put their attention on the recent winner and see if anything from their first album after winning stuck. As time goes on and they get more winners and runner ups (like 1D, Olly Murs, Ella Henderson, etc), everything just got clogged and they didn't seem to care to promote Leona the same way they did at the start. They asked her to make a covers album right after an Xmas album that was mostly covers so it seems Syco didn't really care to invest in the long term or after any dip in someone's career.

Is this ballad the lead then if her album is done? Or is it attached to something else? Either way I hope something comes to fruition, I feel like there have been whispers of her recording and possibly signing deals/releasing music for a while but it's all been pretty quiet in the end. I know some things are out of her control but still...

Yeah I don't blame her or anything, she got married, had a kid, has been dealing with some health issues that have seemingly affected her voice (both physically and in her confidence) so I understand why she might not feel motivated to create new material. But it would be nice if older unused tracks surfaced more often so we could "hear from her" more. It's a strange place to be a fan of someone who hasn't released in so long apart from the random soundtrack or collab. Her last "proper" singles and album are almost 9 years old which is crazy to think about considering that all of her albums are from the first 9 years post-X Factor.

I was hoping after all these years we'd have more to show as far as Glassheart demos, but we really only have a few (Burn, Mountains, I Miss You Missing Me, Love Killer, demo for Trouble, maybe something else I'm forgetting). I know she had a bunch of demos leak in like 2009 that gave us a bunch of Spirit/Echo material, but Glassheart has virtually nothing in comparison. She also barely releases anything so it's a real drought since nothing of hers really leaks either lol 🙃

tbh anything from Leona but especially Glassheart era material, Kelly, Avril

I don't necessarily have an order but : Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour Jessie J - R.O.S.E Bohnes - 206 Mariah Carey - Caution James Bay - Electric Light Ella Mai - Ella Mai Panic! at the Disco - Pray For the Wicked Florence + the Machine - High As Hope Alessia Cara - The Pains of Growing Muse - Simulation Theory Halestorm - Vicious Carrie Underwood - Cry Pretty Toni Braxton - Sex and Cigarettes + I liked some of Shawn's ST and Charlie's 'Voicenotes,' a few rap albums (usually only like 50% of them), and a few Japanese albums

I love The Cab and their voices blended really well together here tbh

it’s really sad that they’ve probably recorded original material as Dami may have had another album’s worth with Smile or Fighting For Love, and Sammi definitely had a lot. I love both of them but I was disappointed they both announced cover albums (especially Dami since it’s her third)

the song grew old kinda quickly, the photoshoot is perfect, and I appreciate the experimentation, but her voice suits some of her material better imo

she still hasn’t addressed anything I really hope she didn’t lose the 3 1/2 years or so of material

that’s true! we seem to have a lot more information on the other two so I guess more people invest in those, where as we basically just have the title for DKOC and we knew it was another country project after ECAG was slid out as an EP

most of the tracks have leaked but Michelle Branch has West Coast Time, and Everything Comes And Goes, as well as the album with vague details, Different Kind Of Country Fefe Dobson has her Firebird album that some people have but is mostly unreleased, and I assume she has a lot of scrapped material for Joy’s incarnations over the four years it took
