Why does it matter what record label she's with?

Her album is going to be a big hit, no matter what. The world is primed for a Stevie Nicks Revival.

Was that in your tea leaves today?

Surely there were leaves involved, but I suspect they were not of the tea variety.

Despite that, Stevie still has the braggadocio to call herself prolific. In the meantime her live performances have become increasingly indifferent, and riddled with cover songs no Stevie fan is interested in. Then Stevie lashes out at her fans saying they no longer buy her music and rails against trading her unreleased music. But when she gets around to recording something which is half written by another artist, we're supposed to just lap it up and be grateful? I adore Stevie, I truly do, but being a fan of her for decades just really pushes my personal allegiance to her.

For what it's worth, I hope this album comes out on time, I hope it surpasses all our wildest dreams, it sells remarkably well, and she finally gets the industry recognition she deserves. I really do hope we all get our Stevie cake, and can eat it too.

EVERY word of this post, especially the highlighted parts, hands down, wins for my post of the year.

This is intresting!! Sorry didn't copy the entire post, its at FM News & reviews.

Monday, 27 December, 2010George and Dave in conversation....
I think it's safe to say there will be a forthcoming video of "Cheaper Than Free" ft Stevie Nicks
from Dave Stewart - according to this recent tweet.

Agreed.

Good. If he is smart, he'll try to capitalize on the anniversaries in 2012 (45th for Mac/35th Rumours/25th TITN/15th The Dance.) I'd say he should push it to 2017, but I'm being realistic here.

Heart supporting? I don't think so. But it's not like Stevie should support Heart either. I think Stevie & Heart co-headlining would be a huge draw - they both have relatively large fan bases, plus many casual fans of both who might not pay to see 1 or the other, but would pay to see both on 1 bill.

You guys can laugh at me, but I'm telling ya---this album will be huge for Stevie. The world is ready for what Billy Corgan predicted a long time ago: a Stevie Nicks revival.

She's going to have everything next year: a Grammy, a hit album, acclaim, accolades, & accolytes.

A few years ago? Maybe. Critical acclaim and a Grammy are possible. But there is no way it will be a highly successful album. Ever since the Lady Gaga explosion, only artists similar can reach the top these days. The only way it would be possible is if she became associated with a top artist, similar to Sheryl Crow and TISL. I don't think Stevie is after fame anymore, I think she is doing this album for her own sake, and to continue her tattered legacy. Stevie hasn't been popular since the late 90s, I think it's too late now to do much of anything to regain that fame.

And now that she's more of an underdog is why I'm guessing David will be right about at least the critical acclaim/grammy nod. And you're right, Ant... she knows her big selling days are over. So perhaps she'll do everything with the highest artistic aims possible vs wanting to be commercially friendly. I'm not really buying that after hearing "Everybody Loves You," but one can still hope . If Stevie had any hopes for a decent seller, WB would need to be marketing the sh!t outta her right now, hard core prior and after her release date. Obviously that's not happening, tho. Long live the WB!

Yes but what would they be "Marketing the sh!t out of "? there is nothing yet to market. So what should it be? tv commercials yelling STEVIE! STEVIE! STEVIE!........COMING SOON!

It could still be a "Successful" album without being a "GAGGA SIZED" "successful" album.

But they have a completed, mixed album in their hands. They could be advertising Stevie at least has something in the pipeline. Or do a press release announcing a title/release date. Why on earth are they just silently sitting on a completed album that's supposed to be dropped in 3 months?

I agree, I've never really experienced this and it's so exciting Duran Duran have been teasing their fans for months with their new album. I didn't keep up with it all, but there were lots of blog posts and teaser videos and music clips. The hardcore fans must have been rabid by the end of it all.

But thats what im saying, advertizing WHERE? in what exactally, tv commercials? adds in Rolling stone? AARP? what? What are people expecting? I do agree that her useless official web page should have more news, but i gave up on THAT YEEEEARS ago. Davee Stewart keeps saying "wait till 2011", if after the first few weeks of 2011 has past and we have STILL heard nothing, then i will join you in rolling my eyes. But i do wonder, what kind of promotion would be good for her? what are people expecting? "myspace exclusives" it would attract attention yes, but really?
