Agree with her?
I kinda agree with her though
This "6 month buildup".
It was a shot at Brandy, I heard.
she says a lot of pretentious things.
She's right
Where's the lie?
nmsgfds
She is fed the fck up with Rih
I agree wholeheartedly.
I hate that. It honestly becomes pointless to even buy an album when you've purchased 80% of it already.
Poor Rih
I mean...
if you're a fan of someone it shouldn't matter how many singles they put out
when the full drops, you should buy regardless.
g
shes mad at rih too
I think she feels cause she can drop one single and the gorls go crazy
and run out to buy her mess
it gives her the right to undermine other artists
be careful sis...
the faster they climb, the harder they can fall
she might wanna dial it back a bit with this "holier than thou" mess.

2 pre-album singles should continue to be the limit.

tears...no one knows who she truly mean! lol at some of the stans calling her pretentious :dead:
Yup. I think most artist wouldn't flop so hard if they stopped pushing back their albums. Albums should be planned out BEFORE you release and not determined by the first flop single

It's refreshing to have someone around that isn't so cookie cutter and politically correct. Especially when they don't operate that way behind the scenes lol

I agree with both these.
Three singles before the release of the album is enough. Really that's pushing it. Two is idle.
At the same time, of course Adele can say some shit like this. You can count one one hand the number of artists who can just release with little promo or one single and book.
Not every artist has that luxury. Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 tracks to have been released (not necessarily as singles, but put on iTunes like Chris did with a few tracks off Royalty) for the public to give a damn about your project.

Not a full 6 months of snippets, singles, and music but maybe two months and the rest of consistent appearances.

I had this discussion on another board. Yeah...she has hits but most of her music has little replay value for me. That's usually the case when you have little input on the creation of the music outside of recording your voice on the track. Very little connection to "your" art.
I could never stan...
& they all sound like the type of music that was released THAT year. "disturbia" is disgusting :dead:
But see, this kind of mess is an everlasting BOP

Well, she's absolutely right about that.
There's no reason why Rihanna should still be teasing an album almost
a whole year after the first single was released.
Either release it, or just go sit down somewhere.
LOL at someone in here trying to take up for their faves and their floppage.
Once you get to the 3rd single and your album is delayed several times over ...it's safe to say you're going to flop. You might as well scrap the project and wait a year or two to start anew.
I agree... and the ONLY artist I wouldn't hold that against is Bran but Thats because Im a stan!
Most of your buying public is not gonna be hard core fans. There will be a lot of casual listeners that liked your 1st and/or 2nd single that purchase your album. You need to get those buyers ASAP because the average buyer will get bored and tired of waiting and lose interest. They will play out the song or 2 or more that they heard and be over it once album release time.
I think there should be a 8-12 week build up. And during that time release a single (or 2) do some shows, make your promo rounds (radio and TV) spread it out with heavy promo the week before and week of album release. Make it feel like an event. get the causal listeners excited and hold their attention. Your fans/stans will be there regardless.

She's a cocky ass fat bitch
well, she's the new queen of soul, i guess. This is what yall wanted. Trash talk k michelle and dem but support fatdele lol
Adele has Gen' HOT.
It's true. Chris Brown and Rihanna are perfect examples. Rihanna is even having trouble releasing the damn album now....
I agree.
Too much emphasis is placed on first week sales that no one wants to actually work their project. But some of that has to do with the Stan climate as well...the Internet loves to argue sales figures and chart positions - all the while, failing to release some of the most albums and singles never went #1 or sold a million out the gate.
Releasing more than 2 singles before album release is a sign that you really don't believe in the album you put together.
Funny thing is, some of you are mad because she does large numbers and is saying this. You are the same ones who would be saying what right does she have to say this if she wasn't doing so well. It's refreshing to see a popular artist who isn't afraid to voice their opinion.

Where's the logic?
I agree with Adele 100%.... Just release they album and stop with all the pushbacks and singles. Release a solid single promote and a few weeks later just release.
she's right. few years ago, yea fans would buy regardless. but now you have even fans that don't buy if an artist takes too long to release. Bran is a perfect example of that. she has her stans who buy regardless and then her fans who will buy but who also lose interest quickly. it's human nature. our attention spans are very short now a days. Adele's timeline was perfect and part of the reason why she was so successful with album. you could take 7 years to drop a new album but when you're ready to drop it, DROP IT. have everything lined up ready to go.
]

Why do you all feel that Brandy is applicable to this situation?
For starters, she gets two-singles, tops, per era. Secondly, she's never released a single then had us wait a half year for the album. She mentioned she was gonna release an EP but it's not like she released a song then got scared, she just didn't release anything..
Quote from: BowDown on December 22, 2015, 09:56:08 AM
Secondly, she's never released a single then had us wait a half year for the album.
2/11 came out six months after PID did.
Wow
100% agreed with her. 4-5 months of build up, and wait and wait and wait, and divine timing and all that mess is just not smart. I totally agree with this and always have. Chris Brown is one example, I just didnt have any interest in his album, same with some r&b girls, with a single release and then the video 3 months later. Im not here for any of that.
And yeah, her words clearly have to do with Rihanna. And maybe Chris too, not sure.
But both cases can be used as examples.

adele showed how it should be done. Her timeline was perfect.
End of discussion. The proof is in the fucking pudding. Teasing doesn't work in music anymore. When you serve a taste, people want the full course meal not too long after.
I mean... I dont really see it for her like that, but I agree. Some of these artists release like HALF of their album before the official release. There's really no anticipation anymore.
