The Ghost album announcement

[BigAl84]

Nothing but eye-rolling from me.

I'm glad the concert industry finally gave her a trophy for the never ending cash-grab tours that so many in the industry have benefited from.

I know she was using the term "meet me" loosely, but she hasn't met fans in years. She did a DVD signing for IYD 13 years ago. She has no interest in interacting with fans. I've met Lindsey 3 times.

The ultimate snub would be to not include a single song written about Lindsey. Not sure she has that kind of emotional intelligence at this point.

Her new thing of demanding a reaction from an audience is really annoying/trite. The gestures, the bowing..it's all very strange. It makes "the act" all the more obvious.

The only thing she knows how to cook is hamburger helper, it's definitely not songwriting these days.

When she gives these acceptance speeches, they’re very much in orange rally style: sloppy, not cohesive, and looking for reassurance from those gathered. It was uncomfortable to watch.

When she said “meet me”, I think she was talking to concert industry folks.

The bowing and the pausing for applause is WEIRD.

What was with that fake throat clear before she started speaking? And then, "So..." Does she think that's what it takes to be a schoolteacher?

Very orange rally style. Good observation.

[BigAl84]

Yeah her speaking style is like a combo of orange rally and Miss Piggy.

The throat clearing comes across as a fake way of showing modesty, the same way she claims she doesn't know what to say, but clearly fills 5+ minutes with no problem. It also demands attention from the audience i.e. "excuse me, I'm trying to talk"

I also have no idea whats up with the lisp, I'm guessing she's had dental work of some kind that has caused it.

The exaggerated bowing that she does with a deep bend has driven me mad for years.
I don’t know or understand why she does it, often to a fellow performer..

And telling everyone her age, !!!.
So, you reached 77 (nearly)
And..

She is like a Vaudeville performer somehow.

@76 this is her shtick. Stevie has done exactly what she wanted to do. She built a brand. Lindsey years prior Mac ,her Mac years…her solo endeavors, the drugs the comeback it’s all her journey. If she wants to put out another album (most likely her last) I think it’s a great thing for her legacy. I have been “with her” since the 70’s. I don’t always support all of her theatrics but……she is who she is…Rock on Gold Dust Woman.

After thinking about this, I'm not liking this...

For the last 5 or 6 years, all Stevie has done has name-dropped celebrities such as Prince, Tom Petty, Harry Styles to try and remain relevant. Now, she is going to make an album and a lot of the songs are going to be about these celebrities. That means to promote the album she is going to have to rehash the Prince, Tom Petty... stories to the press throughout the promotion of this album. We have heard these stories a hundred times. (It's funny how Stevie barely mentioned Prince when he was alive.) Also, she says she is writing songs about the great men in her life. Does that include Harry Styles? If she writes a song about him and puts it on her album, does she realize how desperate she looks. Her association with him was an embarrassment and reaked of desperation. Also, is her new best friend, Taylor Swift, going to be on this album. Betcha she is. She is going to try to steal Harry and Taylor's fan to get it heard.

Also, loved the production on the Lighthouse. The song was decent and step-up from her usual stuff but it took 2 years to make. These songs aren't going to be perfected lyrically and sonically anytime soon. Maybe she can get some help with the guys who helped her write the Lighthouse.

What happened to the Vampires Wife song and songs she wrote for Game of Thrones. She wrote those a long time ago. Is she scrapping all that Gothic stuff for a "name-drop album" just to get some promotion? Bah..... I think I know what we are going to get and I'm not really interested in Stevie's evolution to always remain relevant. It's too pathetic.

Hi Jondalar,

I agree! It is sad but, only, too true! It would be better for her to just focus on the music, like Lindsey does, and not focus on all of the drama.

Stevie, please keep all of that private! You only bring your audience down, instead of lifting them up!

You have so many amazing songs that we would love you to perform live, eg: Sleeping Angel, Blue Lamp, Straight Back, That's Alright, and Think About It to name just a few. We want to see you happy, not sad!

Try Channeling Kylie Minogue for your shows. She always lifts her audiences up with her positive energy!

She barely spoke of Prince when he was alive because she knew he would be the first person to say “Get your facts straight. We crossed paths and spent some time together 35 years ago and have not spoken since. Thats not my definition of friends”

She also can’t rely on the Lindsey schtick anymore, now that he’s the big bad wolf.

There’s a clip on YouTube of Prince’s recording engineer telling stories to some folks at Sunset Sound and she tells this cringey story about Stevie Nicks doing everything she can to get his attention backstage after one of his shows. Prince is basically avoiding her at all cost.

It’s crazy that this engineer spent time with Prince in the studio around the clock and she wasn’t even aware that he helped with stand back. That’s how minor the event must have been. Best friend my a$$.

She's a delusional liar. She always has been.

Her best friends are paid, to be that.

[tothegypsy]

I'm not really expecting this to be all that different from any other Stevie Nicks album. The bulk of her writing has always been about relationships. Yes, she does seem to enjoy name-dropping, but I think it's silly to think that we're able to determine from the outside whether her friendship with someone like Harry Styles is sincere or not. She's apparently been close with Vanessa Carlton for years, and it's not as if being associated with Vanessa Carlton is boosting anyone's career at this point...

It hurts my brain to listen to her rambling.

Here is how I picture the scenario of Stevie sitting in this hotel room for 92 days…. I imagine as the fires were threatening her home- she had Karen (and crew) pack the SUV with every journal- every tape- every page of her writing in case the house did burn and took all this stuff to her hotel. These boxes and trunks sat in this hotel suite and Stevie (at some point of staring at this stack) took the time to sit down and sift through them for the first time since Dave Stewart went through them to try to put together a new album. I am glad to hear she has a few songs to put on this new album. I am grateful for any new music she puts out; especially if it comes from her old journals. Anything circa 1980s - 90s would be great.

I think she is calling it a “Ghost” album because it is not contractual with the record label - it doesn’t really have any organization to it yet- tracks aren’t being recorded - it’s just an idea right now- and its just kinda floating out there- like a ghost.
