Blue Water
 

When will this be a single??? It's so pretty and calming and beautiful! Stevie sounds amazing on this! She probably could get really good sales if Lady A helped her out



What do you guys think?

That would be great with Lady A.

Again Radio probably wont play it which I was hoping with her on the last collaboration with Lady A.

I really think this is the track that stands the best chance of getting radio airplay, The fact that the album ended Stevie's commitment to WB, however, doesn't bode well for it.

Well, it's still a product of Warner Brothers. If their support for the album is tepid, it's just business decision, not out of spite.

At this point, I doubt that anything Stevie does to promote the album (after she gets off the road with Fleetwood Mac), is going to have much impact. Perhaps Blue Water or another song from the album will get picked up for a movie or some other vehicle.

Let's face reality. Stevie, like a lot of older artists, are still fortunate enough to be doing what they. Yet, popular culture caters to a younger generation. Most marketing is geared to take advantage of that demographic. Everyone has their moment in the sun - that peak window of opportunity. Some will rise, fall and fade away. Stevie will never fade away, but it's unreasonable to expect her to achieve the level of commercial success she enjoyed decades ago.

BBC Radio 1 (however irrelevant now) has banned Madonna for being... well, old and irrelevant. She's only 56, and Stevie's older than that. I'm not too sure about American radio as much, but I know the XM stations might play something.

I think if Stevie really wanted, and really cared to be relevant again, she could do it. That would mean not putting out another album, but maybe that Rhiannon movie. Everybody knows that song, even super casual fans, and non-fans alike. WB also makes movies. :nod: Perhaps they could work something out to get that done. If she does really well on a song for a beautiful like that, that has a sort of alternative vibe (i.e. Florence and the Machine) type of vibe to it. It could be very successful.

That's sad. I actually heard some of her new songs on Spotify Global playlist and liked them. I listen to the Global playlist because it has more variety than the U.S. one.
