Like what exactly does 1989 sound like because there is about 10 different sounds on that whole album. It absolutely has a consistent sound! But I would take it to the 1989 thread, because the good sis Ellie needs this thread for scalping.

Sounds like 1989 with a heavier beat. I'm...hesitant since I'm not a huge fan of 1989's tinniness. It's popular though, so this should work out well for her as long as she can avoid the comparisons. Just saw this. Sorry, but I don't hear 1989 in the slightest here. I... don't think she needs to worry about direct comparisons. It might just be the sound quality, but it seems to have that same filter over the whole thing that fuzzes the sound out. Like a sonic Instagram filter.

I've been obsessed with Foxes's "Better Love" since it came out, and think it would have been perfect for a Kelly pop album. It's right up her alley thematically, and sounds organic but modern. :'(

I can see this not fitting in on QOTC so it was shopped out. Can't believe no one picked it up!

I wonder what this "movement" is. Could be really interesting or preachy and annoying.

She made it pretty far into the tour without a major break or illness. The pregnant probably adds some strain to her singing. I'd say the non-NA dates are in major jeopardy, but will hinge on how she recovers.
Wait why were there two shows in Vienna, VA?

I think this is one of those songs that people can recognize, but even after 12 weeks, they can't decide if they like it or not. They get it and appreciate it because it's so different, and they're not shutting it off. I think it can settle in and start gaining more soon. The Q4 tsunami is starting now, though, so it'll be hourly deals and leads from big artists for the rest of the year...

Great piece! YES. Rise up, Queen JoJo and take your rightful place on the throne! ETA: A seven album deal with no out for a 12-year-old is exploitative as hell and one of those things hat makes you lose any sympathy for labels.

This isn't the official JIVE Records Twitter account. This one is and they haven't tweeted anything since late 2011. I hate Twitter! (Also it's sad that they don't have a Twitter account. Get an intern!)

Take a seat, naysayers.. That "hiding her face" worked and the blonde bob became iconic is a testament to her and her team for making it work. Having an artist not show his/her face could derail someone who is essentially a new pop artist to the mainstream. (See: Who is Fancy?) I like how it's baked into the concept of the new album, and I think it means we'll get a lot more creative use from her because of it rather than being a side-act to her performances.

I am absolutely mystified as to why this hasn't picked up on radio yet. It's been selling so consistently well!

Ellie is the headliner on the first night of iTunes Festival on 9/19! On My Mind 9/18 release is basically confirmed, yeah?

If this charts well, I will train for decades to become an astronaut, travel to the space station, and then jump out and suffocate alone in the blackness of space.

Interscope is about to pour every single one of its dollars into Ellie this Fall. It sucks that an amazing album and single failed to hit correctly, and there were some major missteps along the entire campaign (starting with IRLY).
The current state of radio doesn't help. It's a mess.

Congrats! It looks like there was no fan request last night either. I'm wondering if she's going to eliminate them. Maybe tied to her pregnancy. I hope Kelly doesn't have to end up cancelling shows. Dallas was an outdoor venue and likely has a curfew on outdoor shows, so maybe they were running behind schedule and that's what they chose to cut out?

If you would have told me nine months ago that this year all of my favs would let me down and I'd end up stanning JoJo and Carly Rae Jepsen, I would have slapped you in your face.
But here we are.

Apparently her manager said this is going for adds in a few weeks, probably to sync up with the video. More video pics. I'm ready to have my scalped pressed into the ground and dragged across the earth. ICONIC.

This could be a Fall/Winter charter that sneaks in a high peak in the gap between the big Q4 acts' first and second singles.

Let's talk about BABIES and her voice!
Most people wait until the end of the first trimester to announce a pregnancy, due to common complications that occur in the first three months. She said she didn't want to announce it, but I'd assume she was waiting until the end of the NA tour to do so. She'll be much more visibly pregnant (shut up) during the UK leg. So let's assume she got pregnant three months ago, that's June, just as the tour was ramping up. Pregnancy can lower a woman's voice, and it happened to Kristen Bell, who had to go back and re-record lines for Frozen after she had her baby. So there's that possible element on top of the "human growing inside of you" and other common effects of pregnancy.
