"Courage" album - Official Topic

[ajguerras]

For an album that is supposed to see the light in November...

shouldn´t we already have (at least) the date of the first single release?

I’ve been thinking the same thing. Both Taking Chances and Loved Me Back To Life (the singles) were released in September. Maybe because we’ve already got Flying On My Own, Sony doesn’t feel the need to release a second single yet?

I have a feeling it’s gonna come either next week(Friday), OR the first week of October - but I’m just totally guessing here(just basing it on tour dates really so no concrete evidence) haha

Adele... Westlife all releasing new album on Nov...

 

Since another 2 more months might as well we just wait... Don't release any single or sing any album new song during the tour...

 

Just drop the album on November.

 

We been waiting since LMBTL Era till now... We survived 6 years without new English material from Celine (set aside, recovering, how does a moment a last forever and Ashes) and I m sure we can embrace with another 2 months lol

Not familiar with "Westlife", but sounds like a mall. What an awful band name.

They’re an Irish boy band.

Yeah I mean I've heard of them, just not familiar with the music and always thought the name was awful.

Well, Westlife sounds much better than Eastlife…

Speak for yourself. I wouldn't say no to a single any time soon.

IMO it’s the most stupid thing she could do if she started the tour singing only old songs and only include FOMO as a new song, because nothing else has been released yet. I mean WTF? What kind of tour would that be? And they still name it Courage.

 

Well yeah, it takes lots of courage to make such stupid decisions...

 

From what I’ve seen so far, I’m not a fan of this „new approach“. It doesn’t look like an approach to me, but rather a big, totally unorganised mess.

I took it as the tour setlist when she said “ I wanna give them as many songs as they want to hear”

 

It was definitely in reference to the tour setlist

It's not completely crazy to do this. There's lots of artists who start a tour prior to releasing an album.

And anything's possible these days... it's not like the past anymore where it's like "lead single - promo - album release - promo - 2nd single - world tour".

still, I don’t want to hear her sing the same old songs again, I need fresh material for this new tour

There will be.

 

The better question is: how much.

I see 2 options...

Either the tour will start "all" the new songs that will be performed from the new album (let's say 7).

Or it will start with maybe 2 or 3 and more will be added after the album's release.

[comingback]

Well, Westlife sounds much better than Eastlife…

 

 

You mean better than East 17 ..

Well we will have some new songs at the tour hopefully, but again, I don’t want to hear them live first, I want a studio version ughh

[ryba]

I'm BTW so starved for new music I am even listening to the Miracle album. 😂

"What is the new facet of you or your voice that fans may hope to discover on your new album, Courage?

"I think I’ve always been the same person. It’s not because I dress differently, and I take chances, and I sing different songs, and I have different writers, and I would use different microphones, and try things with my voice differently. I’m not coming up with an AC/DC record, heavy metal songs, which I like, by the way. It’s like this photo shoot, for example. I mean, five years ago I would never let [a photographer] near up past my knee cap, you know? Who would go under my tutu? Nobody. I mean, nobody. My husband, that was it. But I was just like, 'alright, here we go!' The album is something for me that I’m very proud because I gave myself the opportunity to do so many songs that right now we have a problem because we have too many songs. And I think it’s a great problem to have. I’m very, very, very, VERY happy about 'Flying On My Own,' the way that the fans have responded to that song. I thank them because they’ve been supporting me for so long. And when you try something that’s a little new, and they embrace it so strongly, it gives me more strength and power to keep going and believe in myself even more. And let the camera shoot me from every angle.""

Where did she see the fans react to this song based off the 3 performances she did in Vegas ?! Lol

It’s not like she ever promoted it.

Well during BST lots of fans sang and danced along. Maybe there? Or maybe she's gone on YouTube and read some of the comments which are almost all positive.

 

I think this comment about noticing fan reception kind of supports the speculation we've had that she pushed for FOMO to be released as a gift to her fans. Maybe they are listening somehow, even if just a little.

[mirage]

Aaawh sounds like she actually did record many songs. I wonder what they will do with them

 

She really loves FOMO and I like that she 'knows' we really loved it as well.

Despite she told us nothing new it was a great read. She really seems to be tuned in with everything around her

At least they’re keeping her up to date! I’m glad she has surrounded herself with people who are great employees but also the balance of friends.

Yes many artists start a tour today prior to releasing an album (P!nk just did it with her last project) but they have released at least one official single, and a couple more promotional songs to create anticipation, release videos on YouTube and tease several songs or snippets.

 

Very few (not to say nobody but Celine) dare to name a whole tour after an album that is nonexistent almost one year before the start of the tour, keeps being nonexistent when the tour starts and hasn't had any official release date nor teasers released only 2 months before its supposedly release date

 

Because everyone is still taking for granted a November release, but yet no media confirms this anywhere still and they keep saying the album it's just "expected to be released later this autumn" Right, but WHEN??? To me, this just proves they are still unsure about a specific release date, and this can only get things worse for the tour.

 

Has Celine thought twice or has she second thoughts about releasing the album now in the middle of the tour, and having to commit an additional promo schedule on TV??? Have she regretted delaying it so much and starting a tour before the album has been released and promoted? Can they be more daring with it?

Edited September 7, 2019 at 11:41 AM by Javito

[fred]

Aaaww!!! I hope that helps her find the Courage to go even more daring than FOMO henceforth.
