New album titled Lindsey Buckingham spring 2021

[elle]

................. or whenever the pandemic subsides / life goes back to some normalcy and he can tour the new album.

he said it was supposed to be out already and he was supposed to be touring it right now, but now they don't have a release date set since it's so hard to know. and that probably in the spring.

he was very resolute that the title of the album is "Lindsey Buckingham."

many fans found that interesting when we talked after the webinar yesterday. a rebirth of an artist. it makes sense. i really hope there's a mixture of newer songs on it, and not just the ones he originally had in the can back in 2017 or whenever it was.

so what do people think? good and symbolic title? or just pure laziness? :laugh:

I’m cool with the title....I’m hoping for a double album. I also think it will be very Fleetwood Macish. He said it was more pop which is more his Fleetwood Mac side.��

[David]

The title is resonant. Luckily, his name is resonant (and not, say, Bob Loblaw). It reminds me of Mac's decision to call its 1975 album Fleetwood Mac so as to say "We are still here but we are also a new phenomenon." I think Lindsey wants to convey the same idea. He's a look-ahead guy.

[Murrow]

That's what I thought too. I think also it's kind of relaunching himself from a centre stage position (last time he did that was Out of the Cradle).

that's beautifully stated as usual, David. :nod:


so since it seems clear album is done and ready to go, he should throw out some teasers as other bands that are waiting to release till this all blows over. The Killers album is now pushed back all the way to January 2021. but they released Caution in late spring, and at least 2 more songs since.

so why not release some teasers? a song of it maybe?

[UnwindedDreams]

I think and feel he titled it his name because the material will offer the sound of who Lindsey is and what brought him to this point. I'm thinking we'll be treated to the prime classic touches of Lindsey with maybe modern flavor as well.

I'd bet the plastic wrapping will have a sticker on it that says "Formerly of Fleetwood Mac" to grab the eye of shoppers in a Barnes and Noble; Linds has no control over that. I don't agree with it because when a lot of people hear Go Your Own Way, I think they know it's not a lady singing the lead vocals:laugh:

However, I think it's a beautiful thing for Linds to have chosen this name for his album.

[UnwindedDreams]

There are those who say no one cares about who Lindsey Buckingham is and those who believe he should've been fired.

I've never heard anyone call him Linds. Did you issue your own personal license for usage?:)

[UnwindedDreams]

I heard Stevie call him that.

Well that explains it!:p:cool:

[michelej1]

I call him Linds in my head.

[bombaysaffires]

Stevie calls him that a lot in person; I've heard others around them say it at times to, though I'm not sure any of them have said it when talking about him to others, or put it in writing.

[vivfox]

I don't think he should wait. I think he should just release it and continue performing for his fan base from his music room. There will be no magic pill stopping this virus in 2021. It will still be too soon for audiences to gather together in crowds for concerts, IMO.

lol yeah they must have taken a weekend off, but today all of the sudden, iheart radio, google news, RS magazine, NME and all others all of the sudden exploded with the news of LB singing publicly for the first time. :thumbsup:

[jbrownsjr]

I love the title and the concept behind calling it "Lindsey Buckingham"

I totally agree. By the time the pandemic is over, he will have had time to craft another set of songs. I want to hear the 'Lindsey Buckingham' songs sooner than vaguely off in the future sometime.

Hmmm.. You and Viv changed my mind on this. I want to hear it ASAP!! You're both right.. shelf life...

[BLY]

He should release this album NOW. He can do more online promoting and tour later. If anybody should realize time is a ticking.

[TrueFaith77]

My first thought was also of Fleetwood Mac eponymous, but then... I thought that Linds' last album was titled

Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie

:shrug:

Anyway, super excited!!! Wish it were here now. I think his release plan is short-sighted actually.

oh completely agree. it's lazy and it's the same as EVERYBODY else under the sun is doing. almost everyone is holding their releases back and waiting for the tail end of pandemic to release and then tour. releasing a bit early and having some creative marketing and online promotion would be much better. but he's never been good in marketing himself, and we cannot expect that at 70 all of the sudden that will change - so he's just doing what his record company / management is doing for every other artist. here and there someone is releasing now or in the next few months and trying something different.

at least we'll have tons of new releases and tours when all of this blows over!

[vivfox]

IF all of this blows over. At his age he is wasting precious time waiting. Shouldn't he be able to do whatever the eff he wants at this point in his career?

[michelej1]

I agree. Every month someone integral to FM’s past dies. These people don’t have two years to wait around any longer. Tarantula walks by the window, no one takes it as a sign?

[elle]

what is your suggestion for him to do?

i think he should start releasing singles from the upcoming album to
1) hold us over
2) generate some interest and anticipation.

then again, BuckVie singles didn't really give us a good idea of what all was on the album and how much we will eventually love the album!

either way, i want some singles. and want him to work on some additional new music in the meantime that he can release shortly after Lindsey Buckingham rebirth album.

but like someone here says - he should do whatever he wants. this is what WE want, doesn't mean that's what he wants. he seems to be in a very relaxed, peaceful, gratitude-filled place in his life. it was so great to see that. :nod:

[michelej1]

I say keep releasing singles until the whole album is out. Yes I know he won’t have an opportunity to tour on it, but he can do a concert online. He can then make another album to tour on in 2022. It’s not like he won’t have the free time to create anew.

[jbrownsjr]

Release single in Sept. Announce a Soundstage concert where he plays the entire album in order (Oct) Release another single in November, and after Thanksgiving release album. Tour after Xmas.

[Jondalar]

I hope he writes scathing songs about Fleetwood Mac.

[HomerMcvie]

I hope he writes scathing songs about Fleetwood Mac.

On this we agree.

I hope he rips them a new one!

[TrueFaith77]

On this we agree.

That leads to the key question. Is this Blue Light rebranded? Something totally new—in response to Mac’s treason—with BL waiting in the wings? Or BL with new material responding to Mac’s treason?

[BLY]

That leads to the key question. Is this Blue Light rebranded? Something totally new—in response to Mac’s treason—with BL waiting in the wings? Or BL with new material resending to Mac’s treason?

My guess is Blue Light rebranded with maybe one track added since the departure.

that would be my by far preferred option.

and unfortunately, this is probably what it will be.

either way, i want it, as soon as possible! or at least some songs from it. :nod:

[button-lip]

I hope he writes scathing songs about Fleetwood Mac.

From what he said, he couldn't care less about them. They're not worth 10 seconds of his weakest song. None of them. :nod:

[brucewayne]

If he's waiting until after the pandemic, it'll be longer than spring 2021.

Unfortunately :(

[TrueFaith77]

Seminal 80s New Wave band New Order were supposed to be going on a big tour this fall. Although it was postponed, what did the band do, citing they didn’t have anything else to do during lockdown? Each member isolated from one another recorded bits and sent them around to each other to assemble a brand new single which they have released because they feel the world needs uplifting music. And, apparently, so inspired by the process they are now promising more new music. This is NOT a prolific band so... seems they are using the downtime of the pandemic wisely.

Lindsey, listen up! It’s a new era. It might even be HIS era (master of the home studio that he is).

Anyway here’s the New Order single:’ https://youtu.be/f6E6ugW7TOo

[Jondalar]

Any news on this?

[jbrownsjr]

I really hope it's the quiet before the storm.

[TrueFaith77]

Why is Stevie releasing new music during the covidpocalypse but not Lindsey?!

[UnwindedDreams]

Why is Stevie releasing new music during the covidpocalypse but not Lindsey?!
He could be waiting for a time when people feel more comfortable going to a store to buy a cd or an album.

Stevie's a mega-millionaire. She probably won't charge for Show Them the Way. It'll probably be on YouTube

[kenzo]

Why is Stevie releasing new music during the covidpocalypse but not Lindsey?!

My guess would be that he wants to be able to tour to support a new release so that it has maximum impact.

[michelej1]

Whatever Lindsey is waiting for, he shouldn’t.

[TrueFaith77]

Whatever Lindsey is waiting for, he shouldn’t.

Amen!

He needs to release something Friday! What a great way to ... start a conversation.

while i cannot agree more with you guys that he should be slowly releasing and dripping stuff from his new album, the way The Killers and others have been, during the pandemic / non touring time, i COMPLETELY disagree that he needs to do anything to counteract his ex. so no, now or this Friday? no reason.

that's her sick sad never-getting-over-his-role-in-her-life thing to do, to keep competing with him. he doesn't have to worry about anything she's doing anymore. she took herself out of his life and her trying to re-write that history with her interviews now ("i'm oh so sad about him leaving FM" bs) is not gonna change that.

I am sure you can appreciate that I am appealing to a marketing gimmick and the impulse for dramz to make the case to release something now.

I am grasping at straws.

But yes I am petty. 😝 Lindsey is not :)

Totally agree with all of this, but she has so many minions hanging on every word she says and will interpret her RIDICULOUS comment that his firing was his fault. She talked about divorcing a man she was never married too---that alone should tell you which one of them is hung up on the other.

well and the whole "divorce" metaphor is one she used back during the first band interview post-firing (with Mike and Neil present). She blamed fans for their reactions, comparing them to children whose parents were divorcing and being upset that mommy and daddy were splitting up and how emotionally hard that is for kids. Her message was that sometimes mommy and daddy (the grown ups) have to do what's best for them despite how upsetting it is for the kids (fans). Like, someday when you grow up you'll better understand why mom and dad split up and see that it was the best thing for everyone. I found it rather insulting then and still now.

Why doesn't he put something out? Aside from the great guitar on the Killers song, has he put anything out in a few years? He is back to his old pattern again?

edit: My mistake. He did one lockdown living room concert. Do a second one, Mr. Buckingham!

I fear he and his peeps don’t hear our pleas!

No time like the present — especially for music that’s been in the can for 3+ years.

ETA: Also, more collaborations please! That would be a great way for him to spend COVID.

[BLY]

Release the album NOW! Promote it in the “New Normal” A year from now will make no difference.

[sue]

McCartney has just released a new Album, it gets very good reviews.
I’ve only heard the single from it..”Find my way”, and I like it, a lot.

He has written, played every instrument and produced it.
Much like Lindsey...my point is.
If Macca can do it why can’t Lindsey?
Release now...

[UnwindedDreams]

^McCartney will always have global buyers so it probably doesn't matter much to him whether he releases it during a pandemic. He'll have a top 10 debut.

I believe Lindsey needs the opportunities of the promotion circuit a la performing on Jimmy Kimmel or Ellen. Just like Stephanie did for two years to promote In Your Dreams. I think his management believes this too.
He may be obligated to do this promotion but I think he enjoys it too. With the fun of a band or just playing alone before a room of people (even if just production staff!)

I don't wish for him to release new music until most of the USA is vaccinated.
I'll take another stream show with him doing UTS straight through!

[David]

You mean they ARE NOT in love!!!??? They are in love — kind of the way Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine were in love.

Lindsey needs to get this music released now or it’s going to be 2022 . If he is waiting to tour behind it,I don’t see it in 2021.

It’s stupid to wait at this point. He’s old dude from legacy band. Beyond his diehard fans who were already buying his album, nobody’s clamoring for a Lindsey Buckingham album. And waiting until every other artist or band tries to go back out on tour? Good luck with that. Lindsey is operating on a model that hasn’t existed in about 20 years. If he doesn’t release it now, he might as well overdub Mick in and call it Fleetwood Buckingham, because the “Fleetwood” name is the only way he wouldn’t get completely lost in what will be a completely oversaturated market.

That’s pretty harsh, but I think you’re right that Lindsey should release his album now or ASAP, because as you said, if he waits until the pandemic is over or until he can tour, not only will he be overlooked, but also who knows when those things will really happen?!? However, I have no idea if Lindsey has any control over the release of his album- I always thought the record companies made those decisions.

[Macfan4life]

OMG everyone calm down LOL
It will be released when he's ready. Tours promote albums so I think its too early to release. Nothing wrong with a late 2021 release and tour to shortly follow.

I have no idea if Lindsey has any control over the release of his album- I always thought the record companies made those decisions.
i'm not sure in Lindsey's case. we know he's really bad with marketing and advertising himself, which is partly why i think he trusts his new management / Rhino, and why he sold his publishing - including 50 % of any new stuff going forward - to a company that he hopes will place it better than he would.

when you look at some of the people he collaborated with lately, a lot seems to be coming through Rhino / WBs, and also Brandy Clark i think is a fan (there were pics of her and Lindsey backstage at some show he went to see and she was gushing over him at the time).

at M&Gs back in 2018, Lindsey told some fans that the album is done and Rhino is holding it back to add some duets with younger artists on it. that can go either way of course - Lindsey trusting WBs got us no original GOS and waiting for FM/SYW forever. but i would love to see some interesting collaborations and unlike LB, many of those collaborators are usually great in advertising and social media. which is nice for cementing his legendary status (it's not exactly what Mike Murphy did for SN with AHS on her edge of 70, but still very nice).

that all said i'm with everyone who is saying that either whole album - or at least several singles - should be released during this year / in the pandemic, instead of waiting for the flood of releases when vaccine herd immunity (hopefully!!) kicks in.

[ryan4136]

I'd love to hear new music too, but I'm not all that annoyed by him waiting so he can tour behind it, which very well could be 2022 now. I've had much bigger dissappointments the past year.

With that said I hope he's recording like a MF with all this downtime, I'd love to believe he's got 3-4 albums worth of material ready to go now.

During the recent Q&A, he said he has not been working on any new music, but that it comes in cycles and expected to get back in the studio soon.

[TrueFaith77]

Still think it is happening in Spring?

I’m still surprised that he had not been writing new material so I guess he can use the time.

[BigAl84]

Unfortunately, when we hear this album probably all hinges on whatever the heck is decided about Fleetwood Mac. I know, insert groan here...

I'd much rather they put a fork in Fleetwood Mac and if Mick still wants to make music with Lindsey, make Buckingham McVie II. It would be better than a Fleetwood Mac album anyways, plus 99% less drama. If John doesn't want to play bass on it, get somebody else. Just do SOMETHING.

I'm telling you right now, they'll (mick, promoters, legal teams) will spend the majority of whats left of 2021 and 2022 on convincing band members to partake in a big reunion tour...again.

At this point Lindsey needs to release this album. The recent press Mick speaks of a Fleetwood Mac tour inviting “everyone” is just promotion for his Peter Green tribute release. The ship has sailed. The live band show is done.

Wonder if he should just do digital release. I think you're right about live band show. Mick said in a new interview that he got himself into hotwater when he publicly expressed his wish for Lindsey to return to the band.
Stevie's done with Lindsey. He's just a subject for her conversations now. She's done with any FM artistry: no new music with them.

Second this.

Buck Vie is the best we can hope for. It would be my preference, anyway. But Mick wants his $tevie money. He'll never be happy with making a few thousand a night.

I hope FM is DONE as a touring entity.

[BigAl84]

Well it sounds like the “hot water” he found himself in came from Stevie/Irving so it definitely sounds like somebody is still burning every bridge she possibly can. I hope Mick let’s it go and they make a Buckingham McVie follow up.

[TrueFaith77]

Looking back through the threads I had forgotten this album was even called Blue Light or whatever.

My only problem with the title Lindsey Buckingham is that his last release was titled Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie. It’s starting to see like one big math equation (which is of course exactly what FM is so ... bravo 👏)

Do we really think the release is contingent on developments in Mac land?

As in: once again dependent on their touring schedule? Or dependent on a desire to potentially record and release?

These strange times....

This is where selling his publishing rights comes in. He clearly states in that interview that it gave him the cash infusion he wants/needs, and now he doesn't have to hitch his financial future to Stevie's wagon. As he said, he got the money now while he's still alive, and having that money will enable him to do some things that as he put it would otherwise have to wait a few more years which I took to mean possibly another tour or two. I'm sure his restaurant has done nothing but hemorrhage money the whole pandemic, and tourism to Hawaii may not pick up to pre-covid levels for some time.

he did say whilst the money has relieved the need for big "two year tours" again, he wasn't opposed at all to doing festivals... indeed it sounds like that's how he foresees the rest of their time. He did still harbor a personal wish to get back with LB but as he said he's gotten boiled for that so......But, with his cash-out, doing other stuff with LB like a BuckVie2 could be far more possible. :shrug:
Has John sold off any of his publishing rights?? If HE takes the big cash payout, forget seeing him again....:eek:

[moon]

So..the album is ok but WB needs duets?? Duets with who????
Come on, it's Lindsey Buckingham, and even with no idea about marketing and stuff, he just doesn't need to sing with another guy or girl to have some success. Younger generations love him and will love him for what he did with FM and as a solo artist. A SOLO artist...
The only thing I'm praying for, is to hear something really new, something different from the Say You Will-Gift Of Screws-Seeds We Sow sound, maybe less speedy guitars and more rock sound. We know our star is on his 70s, but he still can rock a bit. And for me, it would be really great to hear al least one song with the style of Out Of The Cradle or even Go Insane!

This is where selling his publishing rights comes in. He clearly states in that interview that it gave him the cash infusion he wants/needs, and now he doesn't have to hitch his financial future to Stevie's wagon. As he said, he got the money now while he's still alive, and having that money will enable him to do some things that as he put it would otherwise have to wait a few more years which I took to mean possibly another tour or two. I'm sure his restaurant has done nothing but hemorrhage money the whole pandemic, and tourism to Hawaii may not pick up to pre-covid levels for some time.

he did say whilst the money has relieved the need for big "two year tours" again, he wasn't opposed at all to doing festivals... indeed it sounds like that's how he foresees the rest of their time. He did still harbor a personal wish to get back with LB but as he said he's gotten boiled for that so......But, with his cash-out, doing other stuff with LB like a BuckVie2 could be far more possible. :shrug:
Has John sold off any of his publishing rights?? If HE takes the big cash payout, forget seeing him again....:eek:
Mick will ALWAYS be a greedy SOB. That's who he is. Did I mention that he's stupid to boot? :laugh:

From where does this come that there is an expectation of duets?

Incidentally, I listened to the latest Charlotte OC singles—every song by her has been really good—and I tweeted that she should work with LB. She liked and retweeted my suggestion.

As for the sound, yes it needs something fresh — I am hoping his work that synth band points the way but I’m open to anything new.
