She'll probably postpone it again. At this point nobody will release albums until September.

She has been creative with the promo during this time. It’s working because she’s actively involved still despite these scary times.

Her memoir More Myself out now! ??? Her album doesn’t have a release date? It states May 15 on iTunes and Amazon. I hope she doesn’t push it back. Just release and promote like how she has been with “Underdog.” She can be creative with promo too

I fear that she has to cancel the tour as well.

Pretty sure "new dates soon" is referring to the to tour dates. The album has a date listed on several preorder locations. It could obviously still be pushed back again, but as of right now, the album is indeed slated for a May 15 release.

See her Tweet: "my album #ALICIA will be postponed" Furthermore, the cancellation has been widely reported!

Changing a date further back is postponing something whether you have an official new date set or not. What does your second sentence mean? What was cancelled?

Her memoir More Myself out now! There's no way tour is happening in June. Wimbledon is cancelled so you can say goodbye to all major tours in June/July.

She needs to release on May 15th. No need to postpone any further than that.

Underdog Acoustic out now!

I really want this to be a hit for Alicia. I love all the versions of the songs.

I’m reading her memoir and she’s talking about how Element of Freedom was one of her biggest albums and particularly because it included her version of Empire State of Mind (the acoustic one).
Can we talk about this? From my recollection the album underperformed and I don’t remember that acoustic version being big (she says it’s her biggest selling song in the book). Is this true? Maybe I’m remembering wrong. But I always thought that era wasn’t as successful as we all wanted it to be.

Also the acoustic version did well overseas too so she’s preferring to that.

But I remember in America only Unthinkable was a huge hit (R&B charts only though). Why was that? Wrong single choices or...?

Thanks. 4 million in 2010 was pretty big now that I think about it. But I remember in America only Unthinkable was a huge hit (R&B charts only though). Why was that? Wrong single choices or...? Yes, wrong single choices. Her label pushed for “Doesn’t Mean Anything” while she wanted “...Broken Heart” as lead—her label assumed that “...Anything” could be her next “No One” because it came from her usual partner, Krucial. “...Anything” did pretty good in the UK along with a few other singles, but ESOM Part II drove the album to sell overseas while Jay-Z version helped her out in the US. I remembered when the album was pushed back for Part II and “Unthinkable” to be created. Even still, “Unthinkable” was overlooked until radio got interest in it because “Put It In A Love Song” was the original third single—her manager’s choice. That whole era was a hot mess on the US side.

I always assumed TEOF had underperformed, but I just saw now it sold 4 million copies while As I Am sold 5 mi, so it's not really a big difference.

I see how they are trying to work her on Pop, but how they neglected urban doesn’t make any sense. Honestly, “Show Me Love” should have been released this year along with “Underdog.”
