JADE - "FUFN" (TBD) + Debut Album

I feel like she’s telling a story with the music she has put out already. Each song definitely feels like it has come from a cohesive body of work but they also have enough differences to keep it sonically interesting.

Angel Of My Dreams was obviously a total game-changer. A pop moment. And Fantasy has the disco influence, which sets it apart from the other three songs released. Midnight Cowboy and It Girl really fill the gaps in between and help us to understand the sonic world she is creating.

From everything we have heard of Fufn so far, it sounds as though she is going to do some completely different from the four songs released so far.
 
It's fun, definitely feels like a buzz track. Like I can imagine this being a good album opener, but I definitely don't hear this as some big single.

Angel Of My Dreams
Fantasy
It Girl
Midnight Cowboy

would be my ranking. The proper singles have been the correct choices thus far, for sure.

I think "Midnight Cowboy" and "IT girl" are my favorites out of all four, with "Angel" and "Fantasy" being tied for next. They all offer something vastly different from one another (power vers teas), so even listening to them as an EP is satisfying until we do get the album itself.

She's 4/4, holy shit. What an excellent set of singles.

My ranking would be

Angel Of My Dreams
Fantasy/IT Girl
Midnight Cowboy

Although IT Girl is repetitive i am getting my life to it when the speakers are way up!
 
I think “IT girl” is great but I think “Angel Of My Dreams” does everything it does but better. More elegant lyrically, structure fucking is more satisfying, its version of the slow, showboaty chorus is stronger, and generally hangs together a bit better as a song.

I think everything has been good, but I feel like she’s favouring choruses as tone resets in these songs rather than treating them as the apex. I think every song so far has had better, more interesting verses. “Fantasy” is the biggest offender of this, where (while still good!) it feels like the air is sucked out a bit when the chorus starts. It feels like pieces rather than a full song.

I’m hoping… the album plays things a little straighter in terms of song craft. These tracks are exciting but I think “Angel” might be the only one with proper meat on the bones.

Some notes:
IT Girl (visualizer) is part of the AOMD Universe, which is why the aesthetics resembled 'Popstar' JADE
FUFN is the official third single, release date February (so far) alongside the album announcement, 'That's Showbiz Baby' is so far, the album title, but things can change like we saw with IT Girl
Two more official singles are planned for the project, including a ballad.

Midnight Cowboy and IT Girl ARE NOT OFFICIAL SINGLES

FUFN + Two more singles (so far)

When she meant a full era I didn’t expect 7 “singles”!
