I get Kylie Minogue vibes from her in the video.
Really like the song, hope it'll do something!

Even though I want Sparks to be somewhat of a hit, I'm just glad we're getting the album. I was worried after Chasing The Sun and All About You, the album was in jeopardy. So whatever RCA, screw this up all you want.. Just give me the album Well, you're not totally wrong. Whatever album was being created back then is not coming. "Chasing the Sun" and "All About You" are not on the upcoming album, which I find really odd considering she confirmed "All About You" was going to be on the album not too long ago. While yes I agree, just give me the album. It's sad because a big part of the reason I was excited for her music comeback was for her to be heard on radio, and maybe radio would be more accepting to playing her new stuff. Though the label isn't helping this case at all by not sending the song to POP, so frustrating. The song could be doing so much better on iTunes if it had any type mainstream airplay at all.

Very dumb on their part to not send a blatant Pop song to Pop. I'm curious to see what the album sells first week.

They totally screwed up this whole project. Even if they don't want to commit 100% to promoting an album that was going to have minimal success anyway, there was no reason for them to start out with light acoustic-y HAC songs, abort that project and turn it into a dance record, but then not even fully back that and sell the song to Tinder for a 3 minute hookup app ad. It does make me wonder who sought that deal out though, whether Tinder was looking for a song or the label was shopping around outlets to license it to.

I think the label has made it clear at this point that they have no plans to try to make her a successful music artist again. It looks like she's releasing new music just to release new music for the diehard fans.

It looks like she's releasing new music just to release new music for the diehard fans. Maybe the label doesn't but why throw a pop song out to Hot AC and not Pop??? Hilary was a guest at our local Kiss 108 concert in Boston so they must have been thinking of pop at one time. I don't even care about the whole "Tinder" tie in. At least it brought a little attention to the song. They should have had the Tinderless version ready 1 week later, or did they? So disappointing that such a good song was kind of wasted.

I think the label has made it clear at this point that they have no plans to try to make her a successful music artist again. I don't know. That wouldn't make much sense on their part, considering they've hooked her up with some pretty high-profile collaborators whom I'm sure don't come cheap. If her intention was just to put out new music for her diehard fans, she could have stayed an independent artist and released it on her own terms. After all, she apparently had an entire album recorded and ready to go before she even signed to her label. I'm not understanding anything about the situation, to be honest. Why did they waste time on 'Chasing the Sun' when she had gems like 'All About You' waiting in the wings? Why would they send her back to the studio to record dance-pop material and then not push said material to pop radio? Why would they think it was a good idea to turn a promising music video into a stupid infomercial? Why is the album not up for pre-order on iTunes when it comes out in less than two weeks? Why is neither the label nor Hilary doing any real promotion? Why, why, why? God, the album's first-week sales are going to be abysmal, aren't they? Like, even worse than Ciara's.

I sort of have this feeling first week sales will be somewhat decent (I keep imagining it debuting at No. 6) but it will nose dive after that. All the Hilary fans will buy the first week, and sadly with no proper pop support for Sparks, I don't see what will carry the album out through several weeks.

Spotted this earlier, they played the Tinder version, and a lot of the ad was her talking

Her label remains dumb as bricks, but is there a chance they may FINALLY do what they said they would and push this to pop after getting HAC on board? Because:

The hype for this is gone. Momentum is very important. Her era had hype but 'Chasing The Sun' killed it all, it was so basic. They killed it again with the Sparks video. Poor Hilary.

I really wonder if her label has any more plans for this. The album is coming really soon, and she did perform this already on 1-2 shows. Don't remember if she's the type of artist who does late night show performances, or if that'll help this at all.
Glad we got 2 fun videos this era, in addition to the amazingness (color & style-wise) of the 3rd video (non-Tinder version, that is).

Any thoughts on how much she will sell for the album this week? She has a big fanbase that has been waiting a long time for an album but I have no clue. She did not have iTunes pre-orders so she will strategically reach top 10 iTunes when her fans have their first shot at ordering. The visibility might gain her some sales. I still have no guesses.

Will they not release it to pop already? The promo this week would have helped with adds on pop.

I'd love to be wrong, but I expect 15-20k.
