JADE - "Fantasy" + Debut Album

Weirdly, my Spotify has had the ‘freakiness’ version on there since release but has today updated to the ‘freaky shit’ version. Has this changed for anyone else?
 
I don’t have any other versions than the original on my Spotify…?
It shows as only one album but if you click here it alternates to the non explicit version.

I'm curious to how they're going to do that with FUFN since the snippet I heard last year had a lot of cursing. TUFN (Thank U For Now)?

Yeah I’ve only ever had one version on mine too, I just assumed they’d only put the clean version up and that the explicit version was exclusive to the video. But when I listened to it today, it was the explicit version!

I hadn’t changed anything in my settings or picked a different version, it just swapped over. I used the Spotify app that’s built into the Tesla software, I’m not sure you can even switch versions using it!
 
I find that with my spotify at least it presaves the clean edit of songs.

I didn't realise for ages that Maisie Peter's Lost the Breakup had swearing in it.
 
Oh my, so much reaching here I’m genuinely worried for your back.

I don’t think one nu disco tinged single, a Jools Holland performance, and some butt plug merch is enough for the middle aged gays to suddenly collectively proclaim Jade their new Jessie Ware or Roison Murphy.

Furthermore, to suggest the single flopping is ok because it’s all part of a much bigger meticulously planned strategy that will capture her this market is, respectively, fanfiction.

In the JADE thread?!
 
So much reaching in this post I’m genuinely worried for your back.

Furthermore, to suggest the single flopping is ok because it’s all part of a much bigger meticulously planned strategy that will capture her this market is, respectfully, fanfiction.

I didn’t actually say that: I simply don’t think the song is actually flopping, but rather keeping things ticking along towards a planned album release next year.

I suppose the difference between my ramble and what I think of as “Little Manager” chat is that - to my mind- there are a heap of reasons that the actual paid professionals who have done a fairly excellent job executing Jade’s campaign so far are unlikely to be going OMG PULL THE ALBUM at this particular moment?

Meanwhile this very thread was replete with commentary on the significance of her live launch being on Jools. Chuck in David Lachappelle, Edward Enniful shout-outs , *that* exceptional choice of Live Lounge cover... Sorry if it’s in some way a stretch to say these things all point to a specific priority demographic; and that the other artists who are known to occupy that space aren’t dependent on hitting the Top 10 to get an album out.

By all means, people can crack on comparing her to Amelia Lily though ‍♂️
 
It’s being claimed on ATRL that she’s filming her next music video on November for the last pre-release single, which is supposed to be released on January.
 
He/Him
It’s driving me insane that all the clips from the Fantasy video look immense but the whole thing doesn’t have the same energy until the 2nd half. It really needed something else in the first half (like a sabotage that didn’t go to plan, or an audience member being on an electric chair - something)!
I feel the opposite. The first half lulls you into this false sense of security. The way it completely unravels so effectively is partly because the first half is so safe and expected. It's also filmed so, so well and the grading of the visuals absolutely nails that Soul Train look. It's sad that more people don't appreciate what is a rarity these days; a cracking pop video.
