So do we all agree that the best bet would be for the John Legend duet to be the 3rd single through the spring and then Dear Future Husband for early summer?

Absolutely NOT should the John Legend duet be the third single. No way. She needs to go more left field with her release ("Title") OR go with a guaranteed smash ("Dear Future Husband"), not a ballad.

are you just saying this because of its itunes position or did she confirm it? because that probably means it's the next single here (which i'm surprisingly a little disappointed because a grammy performance with john legend would've been an amazing way to promote the duet. not to mention the samey-ness of the upbeat doowop sound). I don't think people and/or radio are tired of her doowop sound just yet. I think they should do Dear Future Husband next and save the "different" song for 4th single.

Also: Mr. Almost definitely feels like the hidden gem of the album. That song punches; so unexpectedly great and catchy. The whole song is a pop gem. Ditch the lame rap, add a proper bridge and I'd be sold on it being a single down the road. I've had it on repeat all week.

He No Good For You is the smash of the bonus tracks. OMG. One of the best songs on the album.

Every song has at least one hook that sticks in your head after first listen I feel.

I think they should indeed go with Title. It's closer to her genuine sound, it's less novelty but still extremely catchy, it's totally true to her lyrical content while not perhaps being a bit much (like "Wakashame"). Plus it already has a video.
Dear Future Husband has a higher chance of smashing harder, but the Runaround Sue and novelty comprarisons could be higher. It might not gain much traction with the GP since it's not her debut single, but it could.
I think "Title" is probably the safest thing to do.

3. Title 4. Dear Future Husband 5. Like I'm Gonna Love You
It's hard to decide just because it's risky to release the same sounding type of songs, unless that type of sound is just what's hot on radio in general. Because she's the only one doing it, it just makes her seem like that "doo-wop" girl but the songs are too good!

I've had "Title" stuck in my head AGAIN! I thought I was going to be less obsessed this time now that I've heard the EP already, but no... I am now re-obsessed. IT MUST BE A SINGLE!

Don't call me boo, like you're some kind of ghost (what you a ghost?)! Ugh I literally love her. Her personality seeps through the songs.

Yeah, I love this girl. I got my best friend hooked too. 3 AM should be a single. SO many single choices. Not sure what they will go with but the John Legend one HAS to be one. No question.

Mr. Almost is a SMASH. I have no idea what they were thinking putting it as a deluxe track. Hinders its potential to be a single.
The song with John Legend will flop so hard if released.

A lot of my friends that I've played the album for all seem to really like the John Legend song a lot.

How can you be incredibly right on Mr. Almost and so wrong on LIGLY? LIGLY should definitely be a single and should do really well. I was worried about the changes from the original version on YouTube but I LOVE what they did with it.

Just finished listening and was disappointed. I think she has massive potential and will produce hits for awhile, but I didn't care for much. The sound is great, with only a few duds on that perspective, but the lyrics are awful and hard for me to get past. They're sort of childish and cheesy. "All About That Bass" still holds as my least favorite song of 2014, which I skipped right off the bat. She also needs to stop that white girl rapping. It doesn't work on almost all of the songs that she did it for.
What I actually liked: "Dear Future Husband", "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", "Title", "Lips Are Movin". These ones are all smashes in the making (LAM is already one doe).

I love Walkashame, I can get how if you're not a college aged girl it's a bit...immature, but it's sooo catchy and fun.

Didn't listen to the deluxe since I didn't have time, but maybe I'll check it out based on what you guys are saying. I thought "Walkashame" was okay. I got the nature of the lyrics, but something about it didn't click with me.

Mr. Almost is great. Give it a quick listen on YouTube.
Credit is a little trite, but still really breezy and cute and I love the do-wop harmonies on it.

This girl totally robbed Cher Lloyd of her signature sound. The whole record has her sound from the rapping to the quirky lyrics.

"Title" (the album) debuts at #1 in Australia and "Lips are Movin" is on course to debut @ #2 in the UK!

If the US cared for her, she would be the Duffy to Meghan's Amy, because multiple artists of the same sub-genre CAN co-exist, you know, if both have that IT factor.

Imagine what she could have sold if they had dropped the album right before Christmas. I know they were going for the #1 album, but hopefully her numbers hold up in the Q1 slump.
