Wonder if she'll perform it on the Rod tour.

Also if it's Cheaper than Free to cross-promote... i'm bummed cuz isn't that the last song on the album. last songs shouldn't be pre-release singles.

When David Wilde said "there's blood on these tracks" I wonder if he was referring to the fact that one song is about Vampires?

Dave's album isn't expected until the Summer according to Rollingstone a couple of weeks ago.

I think it's a video... Normally you catch wind of new singles before hand.. Plus I don't think Secret Love has run it's course yet... Dropping a new single right now might kill Secret Love at radio... But you never know.

If it were the video, are they going to sell it on itunes? Would seem weird to debut a video there unless they were going to sell it. Would actually be a smart move if they did sell the video and debut it on itunes, then the next day on Oprah show the video on the program.

If the IYD version of "Cheaper than Free" is released as a single then I'm totally at a loss to imagine where on radio it would get airplay..It sounds like 1950s/1960s country western which is fine but country radio does not play that anymore and of course rule out rock .AC triple AA stations etc.

Like Johnny Cash or Hank Williams? The Carter Family? To me, that sounds awesome! I haven't listened to the clip you guys are talking about, but 50s/60s country is great!

I don't know if this is old news or not, but Dave Stewart just tweeted that there will be a 'surprise' from him and Stevie on iTunes on April 12th.

I'm guessing Secret Love video.

Hey everybody, a SURPRISE is coming!

(Nobody got that, right? Wasn't expecting anybody to.)

Idk, theblackbirddiaries.com says it will come out May 2011. And I think it is the SL video too, but why they are releasing it in iTunes baffles me. It seems you would want people to see the video and spread it around, not make them buy it. That is why I think it may be a new single.

I'm guessing you're right. Why in the world would they drop another single when the current one is still rising in the charts, and they haven't even released the video which was recorded for it yet?

The surprise could also be the trailer for the In Your Dreams documentary which GoldDustOrphan has posted a snippet of.

I'm sorry - it doesn't sound THAT country! I like it "ok" - but it sounds like Nashville cats backing Dave Stewart and Stevie Nicks and nothing else. I'm not able to compare it to any other country music and I've been an avid fan and listener all my life. Maybe once we hear the entire song ...

Carter Family - 1920's and 1930's (original), Hank Williams - 1940's primarily (died in 12-31-52)...

MacMan · #59 04-05-2011, 05:50 PM

Maybe the big surprise will be that the album will be made available for pre-order on itunes... which at the moment it isn't.

Completely agreed. If they're looking for a way to promote the album in a contemporary and eye-catching way, I think releasing "Cheaper Than Free" as a single is a big mistake.... especially now that we know how many other promising tracks lay hidden in that record.
