Your preferred title for a new "Songs from the Vault" album?

[BlueLight]

Entirely agreed that she should drop the "Songs from the Vault" title for any follow-up album. "Something Exquisite" and "Mirror Mirror" are both excellent suggestions. "Joan of Arc," "All the King's Horses," or "Sanctuary" could be great.

Relatedly, earlier this week someone on the Ivory Keys Facebook page posted a twitter conversation she had with Dave. She tweeted him, asking whether he would be working with Stevie in the studio soon. He responded something like, "yes, likely very soon," with a smiley face. So, we shall see!

The title of that album is actually Got Any Gum? which, though different, is also funny I suppose. I kind of like The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get.

Stevie - "The new vault album is going to be called 'Castaways!'
Camp Stevie - "I don't think that's a good idea, Stevie."
Stevie - "Well, I don't think you would say that to Bob D..."

I like your suggestion, PenguinHead - "Something Exquisite" would make a great title! I love the song!

Another thought is that she could name it from a demo that suggests a "group" or "collection" of things - "Night Gallery" or "The Charmed Ones" could be nice contenders.

Or...if she wants to record it once again in break neck speed, release it before the Mac records and tours again, and before she tours for both "Vault" albums...she could call it "Impossible Task"!

Ooo, I like that idea, "charmed ones", as if there was something special and unique about a group of songs that was destined to someday appear together on a treasured project.

is there legitimate proof of a new cd or was this based on something she said in an interview last year ?

I think the interview plus this is mustering up hopes: http://crystalline-.tumblr.com/post/...ingers-crossed

Yup, that's the Twitter message I was referencing; just couldn't remember the precise wording! Thanks for posting!

Impossible Task! Night Gallery is an excellent title, as it has a sense of intrigue. The Charmed Ones is a turn off for me; it sounds so cloying, or like the title of a sappy movie.

I believe Baby doll, Castaway, Joan of arc, Mirror mirror, Night gallery are the best contenders for a title or concept.

Baby Doll would be a very interesting title! (For reasons not fully articulated, Victorian imagery comes to my mind for the theme/graphics). Night Gallery is a strong contender too. Joan of Arc? ?She was a real person, - that would be too specific, weird and confusing.

If she repeats the process, harvesting songs from her "vault," the record should its own identity and have a title from one of the featured songs.
To name her next album 24 Karat Gold: Volume 2 would be redundant. The conceptual model is songs from her vault. 24 Karat Gold is just the title of particular collection; it's not a brand.

The supposed detracting, commercial- killing subtitle "songs from the vault" is superfluous (not needed). But the absence of the term isn't likely to influence the impact of its commercial success either way. 24 Karat Gold appealed to a "back to the underground" niche market of die-hard fans. Casual fans hardly bothered with it, regardless of the subtitle.

Stevie needs a universal break-out hit -- a song that resonates with the mainstream. It will drive sales of the album. I'd love to see have the chart success she enjoyed in the early years of her solo career; having the media celebrating what she's doing in the now, and not rehashing what she's done in the past.

Yes, but so was Alice and "The Other Side Of The Mirror". Not to mention Rhiannon, and the always up in the air Rhiannon project.
I've never been one to care about marketability or hits, I think that these projects would be an interesting opportunity for Stevie to experiments with something new and a bit more engagé now that is the right time of her career and she doesn't have to worry about hits anymore.

There are a lot of way in which media can celebrate her, critical success matters just as much as public success; a grammy for example would be a nice adding to her legacy even if not necessary.
I don't see Stevie bending to the last music trends, can you see her dueting with Taylor Swift, Skrillex, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez or a rapper? And besides, that song she did with Dave Grohl didn't do so well.
I think now Stevie should think more about the quality than the quantity of her work, then maybe she could enjoy a nice reception again like it's been for Tom Petty, Aerosmith and Elton John in the last years.

I'd much rather have an entirely new album off Stevie with, at most, four old demo songs included. It would be a much more cohesive album - I much prefer IYD to 24KG - and shows she's still artistically relevant. One album of entirely old demo songs is quirky. Two is lazy.

I both agree and disagree.

I disagree that two albums of old re-recorded demos is "lazy". On the contrary, the fact that she has such a lush back catalog of demos shows that (at one time) she was very prolific. The "mad songwriter" as Christine would call her. Simply and FINALLY getting them out there to the masses for an "officially released" album shows everyone how prolific she was.

But I do agree that she does need to release an album with at least 80% freshly written material. She can call it "First World Rich Old Lady Problems".

Seriously though. If she is intent to release a SFTV sequel, then she should do that and then go back to focusing on getting her new material (if she even has any) out to the public either with Fleetwood Mac or Solo.
