Foxes - The Kick

I just cancelled my order from her store. Delivery was costing around €10 but I noticed Amazon have the CD + EP plus I get free delivery. God knows when it will be released at this rate but at least Amazon won’t charge until dispatch.

Apple Music still shows Feb 11th so maybe digitally it will go ahead as planned.

Wait.

So the digital version is due on the 11th of February, with the CD coming on the 25th and now the vinyl in July? Yikes.

I think everything except the vinyl has been moved to the 25th. I don't think the they have updated iTunes, etc. yet to reflect that.

The CD being two weeks later makes absolutely no sense. At the very least she could do album signings/sell them as merch on the few dates left of the tour in release week! The only thing that would make any sense is the full release being delayed until the 25th but DSP’s haven’t been informed yet? But then this will make the tour a bit odd if the album isn’t out yet!

Well even her official store had the digital version set for the 11th?

Ahh yes, it’s a Foxes era! She’s yet to prove us wrong!

Surely she’s feeling the frustration? She needs a new label.

But scream if she does something irrational and leaks it.

Oh yes, I think this is now the clarion call for the girls who have HAD it with their contracts!

This is a new label from her last endless album campaign, isn't it?

Such a weird campaign, her website is still promoting the EP from last year... Nothing about the new album.

Oh you’re right, it is. She can’t catch a break with labels.

It’s starting to give… last minute album cancellation.

You'd hope not, the vinyl should be being pressed already.

Honestly it's so frustrating to see so many incredibly talented women get stuck at the mercy of these shitty labels (both big and small) while there male counterparts seem to mostly just coast by - with much more support and less expectations and worse music.

Vasilios · Feb 1, 2022

psss... you will never find a perfect label.
A lot of the label issues stans complain about are caused by management or / and the artist.

Forgive Yourself is giving the best song of all time…

The snippet of "Two Kinds of Silence" has me in a chokehold right now. Based on the songs we have and the snippets above, this is shaping up to be my fave album from her.

This is kind of hilariously a spiritual successor to all the Brit pop albums in the 00’s this forum was built on.
