Do we know how well the albums doing pre order wise? I do wish she’d stuck to disco tracks and build upon the success of the kitchen discos. I can’t help but feel this might flop a little.
Somewhere along the way, she must have realised this and recorded Hypnotized for everyone craving disco / dance-pop from her. It's tragic that both Jack and Betty did not promote their duets with Sophie. I think both those songs would have done extremely well, given the success of the Kitchen Disco. Sophie has never really understood how to capitalise on opportunities like these. And the sound that she chooses for every album is either too early or too late, as far as the general public is concerned. Given the less-than-lukewarm response that Hana is getting here, so far, I feel it might end up being her lowest charting album. But I'm still hoping her fanbase outside PopJustice supports her. There have been some nice comments on YouTube and Instagram, so far.
I have a feeling she'll switch things up after this album. Like
@Nunya B said, it hasn't been a long time since Hypnotized. She could still release go back to that sound once the trilogy is done. Sophie mentioned on one of her podcast episodes that her new album may certainly not be a "dance"-album but there's definitely stuff in it that one can move to. So maybe she is thinking about it - but wanted to finish what she was working on first?
It's sad that both new singles aren't getting as much love as they should! They are both stellar! I'm absolutely in love with Everything Is Sweet. Every time I play the song, I fall in love with it a little bit more - it's quickly becoming one of my favourite songs by her. I sincerely hope there's a remix that wins over some fans who are bothered by the production.
