If it's like her EP then I am here for it. Her EP low-key slapped.

I'm really proud that I mentioned Alessia over in the "Artists Due for a Comeback" thread. Like I said in that thread, I think she'd be a natural fit for the current pop scene, and Growing Pains remains a really good album to this day. I can't wait to hear what she does next.

I’m hoping she can at least get a minor hit this era, both "Out of Love" and "Ready" did decently well for her last era.

Cute for the fans. Commercially, bad move. It completely derailed Camila's era and she was on much stronger commercial ground.

Growing Pains is not a bad album, it's just boring. I hope this new era will bring out more of her personality. I'm ready to root for her again.

Cute for the fans. Commercially, bad move. It completely derailed Camila's era and she was on much stronger commercial ground. It failed for Camila bc Epic sent both singles to radio with a first-day-airplay deal, then immediately started pushing one song harder at radio while the other song had better positioning on streaming playlists. It was confusing and neither song was strong enough to be an overwhelming favorite over the other so both failed. This is almost undoubtedly a moot concern for Alessia just due to where she is in her career right now. I'm not expecting an airplay deal or big playlist positions immediately, and I certainly do not envision Def Jam being willing to shell out the $$$ for two simultaneous single pushes. Most likely only one of the songs will get the official adds date while the other will be a mere bonus/early treat for fans (at most, being put under CNM to draw some extra eyeballs to it), and won't intrude on the promo plans for the 'main' single.

Hell, with where she's currently at in her career I wouldn't be shocked if neither goes to radio immediately and they just do a wait-and-see approach and wind up pushing whichever one gets more attention. (Oddly enough, much like Camila Cabello again, but from her first album, where OMG was left in the dust for Havana.)

I hope at least one of these songs can do well for her. A chart performance similar to how “You” is doing right now would be stellar and, quite honestly, realistic for how she’s been performing lately.

I think the problem with Camila was the material itself, cause both Ariana and Bieber pushed multiple singles at once and both got hits. I don't think Alessia has much to lose here since her last era definitely won't grant her, like, top of TTH placement or radio deals right upon release week anyways. Put out both songs, check which one people like better and focus on that and call the other one promo single.

Does her record company have money for promotion after poor successes of her last singles? I doubt that. So I guess she is on her way to independence!

I enjoyed this song quite a bit. I'm glad this is the song looking to get the single push as "Shapeshifter" doesn't sound like it would do well at radio (imo).

Definitely the more radio-friendly of the two songs. I like it.

“Sweet Dream” is my favorite out of the two. Though it didn’t grab me at first I’m going to give it another few listens. I have some of her stuff but she’s never been quite my thing.

This is really good. So happy that she's back. Can't see her getting another big pop hit though, so hopefully something from her goes viral on tiktok or something.

I personally like "shapeshifter" more. but yes, sweet dream is the right choice for a single.
