Little Mix - Sweet Melody + New Album Confetti

[Jark]

Who was it that was saying that they were done and would struggle to get a hit again? Was it @Jark ?

It might have been to be fair it did look quite likely for a while. And they hadn't produced a banger like this in a very long time!

Happy to eat my words though Reet!

I just remember thinking it was such a strange comment to make at the time. As long as you FALL ON YOUR SWORD Jarky, I forgive you.

Can a mod lock this thread?

it’s a chart battle between this and steps

we must choose wisely

[Jark]

officially in at #8!

 

[Devil]

That’ll do nicely

 

[SDF]

How’s it holding up?

8 is a good start though, they really are the true success story of the X Factor

 

[Loufoque]

Harry Styles says hi.

 

[SDF]

Well given they are together as they were produced on the X factor

 

[SDF]

Confetti song is awesome, it’s very PCD

 

[Berly]

I’m about to go in

 

[D5K]

Confetti song is awesome, it’s very PCD

I'd never spotted the PCD angle, you're right!

I wasn't thrilled about the song the first time but I keep coming back to it.

 

[Jark]

not mad about Confetti. I'll take a listen through the album later

 

[Berly]

If You Want My Love is quite

 

[dUb]

If You Want My Love is quite

Yeah I enjoyed those STABBING SYNTHS!

First listen to the album... it's fine. Dunno if I'll keep anything.

 

[Berly]

It’s better than LM5 for me, which I don’t think I listened to more than once (apart from Wasabi obvi)

 

[SDF]

I can confirm Confetti works in the shower

 

[Devil]

As much as I like them, and their albums are always shades of decent, I just don't ever need a full album from them.

I will give it a whirl, mind.

Be interesting to see what happens with streaming - Sweet Melody is #7/#8 on Apple Music and #18 on Spotify already on its own. Being album release week it should get a big boost, so could well fly back into the singles top ten again next week.

 

[AlgoAlex]

If You Want My Love is quite

YES ! Was just going to post that, standout for me !

 

[RJN]

I haven't listened to the whole thing, because of Disco, but between Break Up Song, Holiday, Happiness, and Sweet Melody, this already seems to be going down as one of their best for me. 2020 has been such a good year for music

 

[Devil]

Single only drops #8 - #12. With album release it's already up to #3 on Apple Music today.

I'd say it should easily boom back to the top ten next week, possibly a nice new peak.

 

[Pipo]

Confetti (the song) is quite a bop

 

[Berly]

I’ve listened to the album three times today, it’s really quite good. I think A Mess is my least favourite, the rest are stellar. It’s back up there with Glory Days and Get Weird for me.

Slightly concerned about Jesy though...

They posted a video about the album coming out and she looked SO sad and over it :emoji_pensive:

 

[Berly]

 

[Jark]

OMG

Jesy ALWAYS looks OVER IT. she notoriously DESPISES PROMO. that's my workshy queen.

 

[Jark]

if I was sporting THAT HAIR I'm sure I'd look MISERABLE AS SIN TOO!

 

[lolly]

Jesy 'unwell' and out of the live final of The Search tonight (I suppose I ought to post it in that thread, but WHO CARES?), and also of hosting and performing at the MTV EMAs tomorrow.

 

[SDF]

Get well soon Geri xxx

 

[lolly]

Meanwhile, from the show last night

 

[dUb]

Jesy 'unwell' and out of the live final of The Search tonight (I suppose I ought to post it in that thread, but WHO CARES?), and also of hosting and performing at the MTV EMAs tomorrow.

If I were a MIXER I'd be worried about all this

And it's not just the promo, she's also got zero writing credits on the album whereas the other three have a few each.

 

[SDF]

Yes I think they are about to split

 

[Devil]

I know a lot of the last campaign was, well, never actioned and they put that down to leaving the old label etc. But it does feel the last two years they really have just being going through the motions.

 

[lolly]

When is the tour that this band from The Search is supposedly supporting them on?

 

[dUb]

April!

 

[Jark]

It's Jesy's MWAH that really KILLS ME and the look of "GET ME OUT OF HERE" passing through her eyes as she does it.

 

[Rita]

I don’t think ANY of them would do anything as a solo act. I suppose Jesy does have the highest profile.

 

[POP!]

This kind of washed over me the first listen, although I love at least three of the singles now. (Holiday, Happiness, Not a Breakup Song). Will give it another try later.
