Guessing about the preview clips

[HoursAndHours]

What song do you think the first preview will be?

I'm betting on a longer sample of one of the clips we got from Dave Stewart, or of the first single (or both, if one of those songs turns out to be the single).

We could keep this going even if we get the tracklist... :D

The Dealer

[HoursAndHours]

The Dealer

If The Dealer is the lead single as some have suggested, that could be a great way to market it. Release the clip of it today and then the single when the preorder becomes available (presumably around midnight). Maybe it'll even chart. :)

On the iTunes Rock Charts it will (my guess) go to the top 20

It is not uncommon for the first track (FM77 has said The Dealer is the opening track) to be a single (Rooms on Fire, Secret Love, Blue Denim, I Can't Wait)

Right, I wasn't talking about album sequencing though (you're entirely right about the sequencing). I was suggesting that today's preview clip could also be the single. ;)

Mabel Normand

[DauphineMarie]

Mabel Normand

:nod: Let's hope so :nod:

I think it might be The Dealer as well

[pattyfan]

I'm going to go with Watchdevil, just because that's the one I would love to hear the most. :)

[HoursAndHours]

Mabel Normand

I'm going to go with Watchdevil, just because that's the one I would love to hear the most. :)

So, other than the clips we've already heard from Dave Stewart, we have votes for:

The Dealer
Mabel Normand
Watch Devil

Any of those three would be interesting, though I will add to the hope that it's Watch Devil. That would be soooooooooooooo cool.

[louielouie2000]

Blue Water? :D

[sorcerer999]

Blue Water? :D

Yes pleeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HoursAndHours]

Blue Water? :D

Yes pleeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. Ok - updated guesses:

The Dealer
Mabel Normand
Watch Devil
Blue Water

[vivfox]

Blue Water? :D

This song is my number one request and the ONLY demo(besides Mistaken Love) I want to sound as close as the version we know as possible. Ann Marie Calhoun's violin would be a nice added touch. It may sound corny but I'd even be happy if Stevie and Dave recorded the sounds of the ocean and incorporated it into the song.

The harmonies and vocal performance on this song are absolutely stunning. If they did record this song, I really hope they kept some of the choral feel to it.

[gldstwmn]

I think it will be 24 Karat Gold.

[GavinBrown]

Blue Water is the PERFECT closing number to this album....unless it is China Doll :nod:

[Christopher]

I think it will be 24 Karat Gold.
This would be my guess too. Although, I'd like it to be a song that we don't have ANY confirmation about. A song that will just blow our minds and make us squeal for more, more...MORE!! :D

..Only if they're smart PR blokes :laugh:

One (?) more update of guesses on today's preview before the announcement:

The Dealer
Mabel Normand
Watch Devil
Blue Water
24 Karat Gold

[markolas]

I was kidding about Mabel Normand. I'm completely shocked that she actually recorded it.

I am too, tbh. But hey, it's not like it's a bad song, so why not?

[HoursAndHours]

So... where is the official announcement that the preview was moved up to the 4th... anyone?

I'm wondering if we're waiting and no one is doing anything because it's still planned for tomorrow. :laugh:

But they've really dropped the ball before it even got rolling. Someone on another thread (forgive me, I forget who!) hit the nail right on the head: "Talk about being late to your own party."

The single, album artwork, and track listing are now all over the internet - not just TL, but Instagram and Twitter, too. And still nothing from Camp Stevie!? They've now missed all prime opportunities to post, timing wise. I'm just trying to wrap my head around what exactly their strategy is (that is, if they have one at all...)

If there is one thing I've learned about Stevie's marketing, it is that they are the queens of missed opportunities.

[sorcerer999]

It's all Karen's fault. :laugh:

Oh good, an official source. That means they're really just late. I suppose they could be waiting until the pre-order is available (aka midnight on the East Coast) so people can see it, and then go pre-order the record. That could make sense, right? :shrug:

midnight monday night isn't really monday is it? it's tuesday

[f2theox]

So much for Instagram. :] Anywho, just a heads up... the pre-order is already available on US iTunes. Just pre-ordered and received "The Dealer".

Yeah, this is definitely not happening today. :(

But extremely grateful for what we HAVE been given today.

[BlueLight]

I was excited for an Instagram snippet. But am FAR more excited to have the track listing, cover art, AND the first single. :blob2:

[sorcerer999]

Well...You Pacific Time folks have two more hours before the day ends. Think they'll be able to put up the Instagram Snippit in that time?

The answer is yes but the outcome will be no. :laugh:

It's been an exciting day! Lots of great new info and a brand new track downloaded...but I'm off to sleeeeeeeeep!

Here's hoping they give us that Instagram snippit tomorrow...preferably before nightfall! :D

[HoursAndHours]

Yeah, some of us have actual work to do, lol. If I'd known it wasn't going to post until today, I would have worked all day yesterday and hung out online today instead. Now I have to do a bunch of reading and be anxious. :laugh:

Anybody have any new guesses as to what they'll preview today? The current guesses are :

Watch Chain
Mabel Normand
Blue Water
24 Karat Gold

(I'm omitting The Dealer because it would be dumb to preview it now, which means they probably will, but here's hoping not...)

[welcomechris]

The Dealer (i know but they will sadly)
Blue Water
24K Gold

[markolas]

I'm dying to hear Mabel Mormand. The demo is such a steaming pile of crap, I cannot imagine what they did with it.

LOL. I'll be interested to see what they did with it too.
