I wonder if it's just a digital EP?
Oh, and a Megan Trainor co-write. That bitch is everywhere.
This is currently 85 overall, and 16 on country iTunes?
What do we make of the digital performance so far? Is it bad, good or middle of the road for someone of her caliber?

Thrilled for the EP, especially since we haven't heard any of the other 3 songs on there barring this one & "History". Also, eh @ them including "History", but I guess it makes sense, all things considered.
I'm thrilled that this has gotten into the Top 100 all-genre on iTunes. That's pretty huge when you consider how out-of-the-limelight she's been for the past few years. Her voice is too, too good to be ignored this time around.

When do we find out the next on the verge song or is that program over? Shouldn't it have been announced by now?
I would really love for this to get it.
81 overall now btw.

I would agree that for very little promotion for the single , it is charting much better than I expected. I was worried that the American Idol buzz would be long gone by now. Which, it is. She's not "hot off the heels" of the show, if you will. Yet, she has managed to already climb beyond the top twenty on iTunes Country and beyond 100 overall. It does lean more to the pop side for me too. It's not as bad as "Barefoot and Buck Wild" or "History." I do thoroughly enjoy this song. I am excited to see that we will at least be getting an EP before year's end and an album next year.

It might be just me, but does anyone else hear "Ex to See" by: Sam Hunt in the verses?

It might be just me, but does anyone else hear "Ex to See" by: Sam Hunt in the verses? "Ex to See" is my favorite song from Montevallo and I definitely hear it too... I hear it in the vocal arrangement and beat. Anyway, as for this song, I really love everything about it. The melody is gorgeous, it's perfectly produced, and is immaculately put together. I really want this to do well. I definitely hear crossover potential here and I'd be surprised if this doesn't eventually get pushed to Pop and/or HAC. The song has country elements, but is overall definitely more pop-leaning. I love how polished and smooth this is. It just sounds great all around. Loved the acoustic performance and love the studio even more!

Awww I'm sad that "Breakdown" isn't going to be on the album. That song was incredible. What a travesty. :'( I'm glad "Same Day, Different Bottle" will be, but still. Looking forward to hearing three new tracks very soon though! I like the EP idea much better when it's being released early on instead of at the height of popularity for the lead single in lieu of an actual album release.

It's right along the lines of "Love Me Like You Mean It", but not enough to be deemed a copy-cat. I've already expressed my adoration for the song itself, as well as her, and I'm just so happy that we're finally getting new studio recordings from her. Related to the album, for those of you who are interested: "Same Day, Different Bottle" will be on it. "Breakdown" missed the cut, unfortunately.

Reported from the horse's mouth herself; I met Alaina a few months ago and asked her about it in our conversation.

I actually like the daily updates. They're frowned upon in the country forum (discouraged). It's okay to have them every once in a while but I rather not have them every single day.

"Next Boyfriend" sounds like it comes straight from the Kelsea Ballerini playbook, which is, of course, a chapter from the pop/R&B playbook developed by TLC and consulted in the 2000s by Destiny's Child/Beyoncé, JoJo, and Rihanna at times. I'm indifferent to the song and the style is not one that I'm inclined to root for on the country format, but I am interested to see if this is a formula that's going to work for younger females at country radio.

I am curious to see how many adds this song gets this Monday I am because that radio tour happened a while ago and I imagine how it's still im the Top 40 for country music on iTunes that Lauren should get a decent amount of adds. sabre14 how many adds do you think Lauren will get.

sabre14 how many adds do you think Lauren will get. Perhaps Lauren can pull in 30 adds or so but she's never had a big add date. "Barefoot And Buckwild" only got 12 adds and her highest charting single ("Georgia Peaches') only got 11 adds. Thomas Rhett and Dustin Lynch go for adds on Monday as well, so my guess is somewhere between 20-25. She's been off radio for over two years, so it's tough to get a good gauge.

A great number but remember that many adds doesn't mean anything if it's just added but not actually played.

Sadly true... Mickey Guyton :'( :'(
But this is radio friendly and it showed early signs of connecting with buyers, so hopefully radio does get on board with this.

I agree that a good impact day doesn't mean it will amount to a successful chart run but I will say that it is reason to be encouraged. "Barefoot And Buckwild" (her last single) got 12 adds on impact day. Lauren's recent radio visits over the past few months have done wonders for her and the track is tailor-made to be radio friendly on 2015 country radio.

Anyone peep the new EP yet? Yes. Vocally, it's stellar. Nothing spectacular about it, but "Painting Pillows" is something special. Like, really special. If they release one more single from this EP after "Next Boyfriend", it should be this. The other two, "Holding the Other" and "Road Less Traveled", are good, but really heavily-produced. They follow along the same line as NB, but to a louder extent. "Painting Pillows" is gorgeous, though.
