"I Can't Wait, I Can't Wait"

Maybe it won't be such an f around of an album to get out with Dave Stewart.. He's become increasingly revealing about it.. I can only imagine he was being coy earlier but now they're approaching the final stages.. I'm gonna say we're looking at anywhere up to a year away.. March? April?.. After the tour.. video it for this doco (dreamscape) whatever it is.. Put it together..

He done was it 6 or 7 (new?) songs with her.. The rest- A bit like SYW a la Running Through The Garden, Smile At You etc and re do un released material?

In no way am I predicting or giving what I believe will happen.. But I hope they get this out soon.. Otherwise it'll begin to get ugly for Dave Stewart lol..

From somebody who's been following Stevie a long time: when you start really hearing about a new album from her, start getting solid details, and it seems like it's truly inevitable, give it a year, and that's your release date. I predict late Spring of next year

. Maybe we should start a friendly wager thread on when Stevie's album will drop!

Spring here is Sept-Nov.. on the other side of the world I believe March-May?

If you mean U.S spring then I like the sounds of that

Yes... I predict a May-June 2011 album drop. It's still highly possible major delays are to come, or the project could be shelved altogether. That's the way Stevie rolls, yo!

Sounds good.. Well provided she doesn't set it back any further.. Seems like a logical time frame. I hope the movie is released with it..

Barring any unavoidable delays (like health issues), and assuming the project doesn't get mysteriously shelved (like 'Mirror, Mirror') or they decide to re-produce tracks (like 'Street Angel'), I don't see why they would want to wait another year for the release. Stevie isn't getting any younger. Unless she wants to mark the TEN YEAR anniversary of TISL with a new solo album. In which case, she might be close to matching Kate Bush's record (12 years!) duration between solo albums of new recorded material.

It took longer than this MAJIK projection just to release the Soundstage Sessions, which could have been available about five minutes after filming.

So, I'd say May-Jun is a conservative estimate of how long this could go on. Also, even after an album is "done," record companies try to fit everything into some algorithm they have for maximal public interest (e.g., the soundstage album probably dropped so late to coincide with Unleashed interest and promotion--speaking of, they really should have released an Unleashed dvd/cd). Another thing is that nowadays, albums don't get released until a single shows traction (e.g., The-Dream album was projected to be released last Dec in conjunction with the first single, but wasn't released until June-2010, three singles later). I had another point but forgot what it was, but yeah, at least a year for an album that's not even done yet.

(btw, I wonder if she's waiting until after the tour loosens up the vocal chords to lay down her lead vocals.)

The ten year anniversary of Trouble in Shangri-La? How about the thirty year anniversary of Bella Donna? It would be very poetic and meaningful and blah, blah, blah to release what could possibly be her last solo album exactly thirty years from her first. And I could honestly see that as justification enough for Stevie to sit on the record until spring 2011.

Still, I don't want to wait that long. I want it now!

SapphireSister · #**309** 07-09-2010, 09:23 AM

How cool would it be if there were a track a la Missionary Man? Dave is a master!

Jondalar · #**310** 07-09-2010, 09:35 AM

I think the album will be out early next year or spring. She needs about 8 more songs and then will wittle the album down. I'm excited though becuase I know Dave is an innovator and I bet this album doesn't sound the like the rest.

I've liked Dave Stewart through the years - obviously beginning with Tourists & Eurythmics... I had also always like Sinead O'Connor but when Dave produced her album 'Faith & Courage', I was quite blown away with it. I'm not sure everyone else was 'universally' blown away with it - but the production and songwriting (of which I believe they shared at times) was quite different (to my ears) than previous releases of hers. I know her star had all but gone out (to the general public) by this time - but looking at her objectively, Dave made 'Faith & Courage' more relaxed and a bit mainstream. Do I dare say, 'adult contemporary'??? Regardless, it wasn't the album that garnered her many new fans but the style and songwriting just sounded very different for her that time out. I thought it was one of her best overall records.

I know I'm babbling but with all these tidbits that we now know about Stevie 2010/2011 and her partnership with Dave - I am quite excited to see what becomes of it. I think the whole thing stands a good chance of presenting Stevie in a slightly different way than we might have seen before. Nothing radical - but I think his production will definitely be felt - by us here, anyway. If not a commercial success, I think it will be a critical success.

Possibly wishful thinking on my part, I know...

I'd love it if it was a critical success, it's always nice to read good reviews about Stevie xD

I still reckon it could be a commercial success though, it could peak in the top ten or top five through name recognition alone. Although, I think it'll peak high just cause it's a Stevie Nicks album, and then fall pretty quickly. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

I'm gonna go out on a major limb and predict that we will have this album before the end of 2010.

Given her history that is a very shaky fragile limb indeed..If there are none of her typical delays I agree with those that predict a spring 2011 release.

Dave and Glen are co owners of the studio, so that's not surprising he's involved too.

For those interested, here's an update on the details so far:

So, we have these players:
Dave Stewart - guitar
Mike Campbell - guitar
Steve Ferrone - drums
Mike Rowe - keyboard
Mike Bradford - bass
Waddy Wachtel - guitar
Mick Fleetwood - drums
Rickey Peterson - keyboard

Also: Ann Marie Calhoun - violin

These songs/titles:
Everybody Loves You
Italian Summer
New Orleans song / Vampire song (alleged but based on David Wild's visit to the studio)
Annabel Lee (alleged)

Producers: Dave Stewart, Glen Ballard

Also in 2007 she said she wanted to do Lady From The Mountain, so add that to alleged!
