At least, that's what I took from it. I'm obviously a huge fan of M&P and I adore Adele, so I hope there was no derisive intention.

To Mezzoforte:
I don't need reason to believe. . I've watched her career from day 1, i've read the lies she was forced to spin for the likes of Q magazine to give her an edge,i've seen her go from ' indie underground' queen to walking the red carpet . . .all off the back of one record.
When I refer to FW it's more a they-the management and business people telling her what to say,where to go and what to do. . .very little of what I say is aimed at her the person,because she hasn't even got control over everything she's become so far.In fact it scares her,she said that once.

I love Adele, love Florence, love Stevie.

End of.

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately this seems to be the case with many people now. Lady GaGa!! While the songs may be great, such huge fame and hype after one album is a bit ridiculous. Come on. Let's see where you go from here and if you can maintain a career.

Exactly!

Always been a fan of 'catalogue' artists that you can follow up their careers and go to the shows and actually have memories attached to the songs you're hearing live rather than flash-in-the-pan artists

The album hasn't even been out 2 years yet since it was released in July 2009. It's not exactly out of the ordinary for an artist nowadays to tour and promote an album for that long, especially one that has taken so long to break into the public's conciousness.

They've actually been working on the follow up since 2010, it's just that "Lungs" only broke in the US at the end of last year and that's where their focus has been. It makes sense for them to get out there and promote it while they have the chance and while the record is hot. It never really took off here in the UK until about 5 months after release, it also took time to break in countries such as Australia, New Zealand and several others in Europe.I don't think there is anything ridiculous about them going out on the road to tour and promote a record for a couple of years. It would be stupid for an artist to drop promotion for their current album that's slowly breaking through in order to go and record and release their second just because their first has been out a year or so. Might as well lay the foundation down, build up the fan base and then release the follow up.

I agree about her having a lot to prove on her next album. Apparently it's going to be more dance based.

Much of it had been around since '08 I mean..the singles started coming,the videos and that, the promotion started way back then around Summer.There were around 4 videos out by the time the album even dropped.
But yeah I hear ya, she did lots of the festivals in '09 and then repeated it all 2010 then there were the re-releases,redone video(s) and more.. it's all a bit tiresome when you've been watching from early on.
The biggest fail for me is the potential loss of momentum..the promo stretches so far for some artists it's though they've forgotten who they are by the time all is said & done.
Word has it she/they have only just this week/last week entered the studio to properly record..album will likely not be out until 2012, now that's a stretch.Hope the fans stay interested in her,it's a fickle industry after all.
Anyhow a dance based sound would be great!

I couldn't disagree more. What is your definition of an artist? Aren't musicians artists and artists musicians? I think of Linda Ronstadt, who doesn't write any of her own songs but is amazing at interpreting those of others. And she's not the only one, the list goes on and on and on...

its just me, they didn't create the words, the song wouldn't of happened, Linda Rondstadt is a great interpertar, and that's all in my book, I still buy her music.
