**New Single** - Secret Love

[camchristo]

The link is working, complete with a new promo photo and a snippet of the song! The photo is gorgeous - makeup dark and careless. Not so sure about the song. It definitely has the ooooh-weeee's, which I'm not crazy about. wwhtwas.

[TerraRhiannon]

OMG. the image & clip of the song are beautiful.

[RickRobert]

Reminds me of Bella Donna and Welcome to the Room... Sara. Not too bad.

Oh for God's sake, Landslide only hit in the 50s for Fleetwood Mac and it's their second gold single. Stairway to Heaven didn't even chart.

Maybe she made a real album. You know, like Joni Mitchell's blue, which really didn't have a big hit off it. But was a great album.

You're right, unless they can some airplay on Country Radio and Country Video, she has no outlet. Country music really respects their veterans and they have been playing a lot of rock n music. Bella Donna is what country is today practically.

OMFG

I may cry, the song sounds amazing!

[Artemis]

Oooh. That's made my day. It sounds stunning; is that picture the single cover or the album cover?

Also, is that Sharon and Lori doing backup? Lovely how they've been used, too!

[RockALittle250]

WOW...gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! The song and Stevie!

Stevie is finally getting the promotion she deserves! I wonder if the photo with the mirror is the album or single cover?

[sorcerer999]

Okay. I'm eating my words. That sounds GREAT!!!

I have been getting a sore throat for a few days now and today it's at it's worst. I called in sick from work and have been laying in bed feeling miserable. I figured seeing Stevie on Ellen today would cheer me up. I got up to check The Ledge and saw this. I ran to the site and the second I heard the Secret Love snippet my heart swelled. I've loved that demo since I first got it on a bootleg cassette at a record fair years and years ago. I recently found the mp3, probably here, and realized I had totally forgotten about it since I no longer play cassettes and was thrilled to have a much better copy for my iPod. But when I heard those 30 seconds of it today it literally brought tears to my eyes. Okay, I'm sensitive, I cry at commercials, and I'm always even more emotional when I'm sick, but I can barely put into words how beautiful that new song is. And when I read that this was going to be on the album I didn't think the "oohwee" part would work, because really that's kind of a classic country thing, but she pulls it off. And the way the music pulls back when she sings "my secret love secretly.... dies". My pulse is racing and I feel ten times better than I did when I woke up twenty minutes ago.

Oh, and Dave tweeted today that the Rod/Stevie tour isn't about the new album but that the two of them will be playing some dates to promote the new album. Yay!

[DashingDan]

awwww shucks...she can still make my heart race.

"Secret Love" is not appropriate for a lead single. I can usually hear the potential for a Stevie demo in my head- changing the rhythm, changing the instrumentation, etc. This is one song that I simply cannot see turning into a hit single, let alone a lead single. Yes, it's a charming, intimate little ditty. But it's flawed, e.g., "oooh-wee, listen to me..." . It's too low-key. It doesn't say "hey bitches, guess who's back?" Rather, it says "hey, um... did y'all miss me?" And if a vault song is being pushed out first, what does this say about all of the newly-written songs? I'm starting to not feel so good about this...

Warner Bros never botched anything. Trouble in Shangri went gold because of their marketing campairg and pre-order on VH1. Street Angel flopped because it was a bad album.

I agree the pictures are gorgeous and I really like the production of the song but the song itself..Odd choice IMO.

[kak125]

ooh me likey alot!!

[Musicman408]

Hell Yeah!!! This is great. It got me thinking- the types of music I've been listening to lately for the past year is 80's arena rock, and lighter feel good stuff like Regina Spektor and that type of thing. Maybe Stevie's new album will fit along those lines, like this single- I'm totally loving it!
