While other blogs can offer free downloads, and get EP's through the post to chat about, I have to decipher the record company from the outside in:
Shelly Poole, who has almost finished her new album, In Gold, left this cryptic message last week:
"album finished
am just writing a radio single,
bear with me x"
Why is it so cryptic? well I highly doubt, (though cannot be entirely certain) that Shelly is writing a song entitled 'Bear with me', about a night out with her favourite hirsuit gay, but is this really the way to make an album?
If this new song is for radio does this imply the rest of the album isnt good/pop/listenable enough? and is she referring to bbc radio 1/2?
Wont this 'radio' song on an otherwise more refined album standout like a groove-armada track on an ex-sugababes album?
Is it that easy to write a song that radio will love?
Why not write ten of them and call it an album? Like Mika's Life in Cartoon Motion? okay this question answers itself, cos the Mika album is teethrottingly catchy like a case of the [add ur own catchy sexual mishap here] but seriosuly, isn't 'give me ten singles' what record company execs tell their download era artistes?
Are popstars this ironic? and this is really a clever way to say keep waiting we've got a long way to go?
