The Ghost album announcement

[Jondalar]

So It is being reported that at the Pollstar Awards, Stevie just announced she is releasing a new album called The Ghost album. It was written while away due to the Palisades fires and the songs are about her memories of the men who have been in her life. 7 songs are written so far.

There's a picture of her with Jimmy.

Here’s the Pollstar article about it.

I don't believe this will happen.

Her tour begins in august. So theoretically there would be time to complete the project. I'm not excited about it, but it's interesting to know that there is something coming.

She is going to have to write a whole load more than seven songs, about the men in her life…

But having said that I hope this happens , new music not about historic actions in the World, just plain old love songs…..nice.

It will come out after the Rhiannon ballet and film and soundtrack.

The premise of it sounds intriguing, but if the writing is in they style and caliber of stuff she's written in recent years....

A whole album of songs in the style of the Kennedy's/MLK song or even her abortion rights song (I can't even recall the titles off the top of my head any more since they came and went so fast....) then it will not burnish her songwriter reputation in the least. People will be buying it for the gossip aspect of it, which she is clearly teasing with her speech, hyping it up as some great revelation about her love life. Fair enough; maybe this is the best way for her to put out a "memoir" versus having the discipline to write a real book, or let someone else write one.

I wish her well, but....the ship carrying her musical talent sailed a long time ago.

ETA: Re-reading her comments about not pulling punches anymore...and it being about men in her life...makes me think there's gonna be a LOT of Lindsey in it..... I mean, even after firing him she couldn't go for a single interview without saying his name and talking about him, so.....

I have a faint suspicion that it will be a troubled project with a possible non-release.

The idea of a batch of songs about her exes is intriguing. But once again the fabled RHIANNON album withers on the Vine of Unmet Expectations and shrivels on the Bloom of Professional Duplicity, while the Weeds of Empty Promises threaten to overrun Stevie’s Garden of Unearthly Delights.

(Sorry, I am speaking in allegories today.)

They sound like intriguing song titles

The Bloom of Professional Duplicity -- not a nice place to be!

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...
