Given how 4 of her singles from her "debut" era topped the pop chart (1-800 was #1 in Mediabase, but not in Billboard) and reached Top 10 in the Hot 100, I really think her next album era would be huge. SourceSource

I’m definitely ready for her return. I really like her. I’m interested to see what direction she chooses. It felt like with all the collabs her voice got a bit muddled this last go around. I want to see if she can tighten things up this era, really make a strong artistic statement. She has it in her. Fingers crossed!

Here was one of the best debut singles in years but everything else she's released has been so bland. Hoping for the best.

Her single release rollout has been pretty all over the place so far, feels like she's kinda wasting the potential her career could have had
She never even released solo follow up to STYB

She might have been under contract not to release another single while Moana was being promoted. Then 1-800 came along and her label probably thought that'd be good enough to keep her name out there, plus all of that allowed STYB to become a major AC/hot AC recurrent hit. It wasn't ideal, but I do think all of that kept her name out there enough to put her in the position to really blow up with her next album without the need to pour more money into her own album.

Here was one of the worst debut singles in years but everything else she's released has been pretty solid, though fairly generic. Hoping for the best. FTFY. I do think her next era will be pretty big, but I can’t help but think that the streaming era will negatively affect her. I’m sure her singles will smash on CHR tho.

I remember seeing "Here" in yearend lists of some publications (Rolling Stone, NME?) back in 2015. I think saying that it's one of the worst debut singles in years is tad too harsh, but then again that's your opinion and to each his/her own. =)

Double posting here, but regarding single rollout, in hindsight it was kinda "messy" indeed.
"Here" - released summer of 2015, peaked winter 2015 "Wild Things" - released winter of 2015/2016, peaked spring 2016 Could have been perfect opportunity to release 3rd single since WT only reached 20 weeks on pop chart, but remix of "Wild" was released instead and it went nowhere "Scars to Your Beautiful" - released summer of 2016, peaked winter 2016 "How Far I'll Go" - slept on it (likely reasons already mentioned) "Seventeen" - music video was released but that's it "Stay" "1-800-273-8255"
Twas a mix of slow burners and side-projects/features that got in a way for a typical album run for her. But then again, 4 pop #1s and a Grammy BNA were a by-product of this mess. I wonder how a more efficient engine would turn out for her.

I love her voice and I’m rooting for her. That said, her brand got all muddled with the collaborations so I feel like this era really needs to be about establishing who she is as an artist and what her sound is going to be. I really liked her as this quirky, non conformist, baby feminist outsider type. I hope they don’t Meghan Trainor her and try to make her into a sexy pop tart. Even Lorde came back all glam and it just felt wrong.

Can't wait to hear it.
Really hoping she has more stuff like "Here" on the album. Still my favorite by her to date.

Album is called "The Pains of Growing" and is expected to drop in September.
Guess that's why Growing Pains is the lead...

Like, don’t love GP. I wasn’t expecting a Here retread by any means but it sounds like it was lifted straight from KIA, which is a double-edged sword, and doesn’t really exhibit much sonic growth (npi).

The video for GP really sold the song. I love it now.

We should be hearing about a second single already if they plan on releasing in November.
The Meghan/BNA "curse" comparisons irk me sometimes, but I can't help but reflect on the contrast in approach to their similar predicaments. Meghan got pushed back to next year, while Alessia's team is like 'we've barely got two months to make something happen, but fuck it, we'll put it out there and let it do what it does.'

I'm still surprised that they chose GP. If that's either the best or the most radio friendly thing they could come up with, that worries me.
