New Stevie Nicks CD

vivfox · #1 02-28-2009, 02:02 PM

It's driving me crazy! I can't take it anymore! The waiting is killing me! Is she EVER going to make a new solo album?
For me, she finally did. It's called Trouble In Shangri-La. After all these years of only liking three songs on this CD I decided I needed new music from her and a few weeks ago I popped it into my cd player and strangely enough I love absolutely every song on this record now. It only took eight years. Even the songs I totally despised( I won't say which ones) I really, honestly can say, I love all of 'em now.

Can you write this for me? He said, "no, you write your songs yourself!"

As Christine did with touring, Stevie has retired from studio recording.

Glad to hear you are now hallucinating in order to assuage your anguish over not having any new Stevie music.

By the way, you've gotta check out the "new" Fleetwood Mac album. I think it's called Tusk... I think you'll really like it. It's kinda different though...

I didn't like TISL either for the first couple of years. I thought it was tuneless and droning. I actually think TFFT was one of the only songs I enjoyed. Then, I listened to it more a couple of years down the line and suddenly thought it a masterpiece.

With Wild Heart and even OSOTM, I loved them immediately, the first time I played them.

Unless you become excited about The Soundstage Sessions, and the deluxe edition CD/DVD, than the answer is probably no. Technically, it is a "new" album, but just not in the conventional way ala a studio record. And if you want something new new, than Crash and Circle Dance should be pretty satisfying for a little while.

Agreed.

It speaks volumes about them both.

I hold the belief that we will get new music from her at some point.

I wish everyone was as optimistic as you, but people are so quick to write her off.

I don't remember her ever announcing her "retirement" from studio recording...because she never did. I for one am glad that she's taking other avenues and roles, including this new live record, and wearing the producer's hat for Vanessa's record in 2007, and being influential and supportive of other female artists of different genres (Mary J. Blige, Michelle Branch, Mariah Carey, etc...).

I do too.

It's not an issue of writing her off. She still performs, which is great. But recording solo albums is no longer a priority at this stage of her career. I don't think she ever really liked being in the studio in the first place. I don't doubt we may get a track or two from a FM or some charity project. I just don't see a new solo album in the near future. There doesn't seem to be enough incentive.

Thats because she still seems to have it built up in her head that "recording a new album" is = to years and hours and hours in the studio. Stevie its 2009, joe shmo, can record an album in ten minutes in his basement.

ALSO
She needs to have a GOOD experience with the internet. She has NO IDEA how much money shed make it shed even upload ONE new song on like

the nixfix

and charge $1.00 for the song. I think shed be pleasantly surprized how
"Successful" it would be. I love her and cherish her music, but THIS is the kinnda crap that keeps me endlessly frustrated as far as Stevie goes. Im thrilled shes still going, but, nearly a decade is a long time to wait for new songs. At least the soundstage sessions cd will keep me satisfied for a little while.

She may record with FM again, but I don't think she's interested in recording solo. I think if she does it will more than likely be something she wants to do (like the standards or the remakes) and not something that would be considered a commercial thing ... sort of what LB did with his UTS cd. At least, I would hope if she did another solo cd it would be 100% a project she wanted to do and that she wouldn't worry about the commercial success...because honestly I don't think the radio play and promotion would really be there for her at this stage in her life.

That has to be one of my favorite cds... ever. I love it! I love every song. Totally feels like she found my journals, or old love letters and put them to music.

Yea, that's so true. Today i heard Rhiannon on the radio (1975 version), and i thought they could just as easily play the CV version to showcase her voice now and how much the song has evolved, but unfortunately, classic rock stations aren't interested in that.
