Not sure what the point is but... Apparently, a bunch of artists are doing it so take of that what you will.

I’m not really understanding the point of the Camp Katy EP. It’s basically just the gayest songs from each album (minus WUIV) put together in a playlist. If they wanted to do this, it should’ve been during Pride month.
Also, oddly enough, the version of Peacock on the EP is the clean version with “cock, cock, cock” part censored out, but it includes the explicit version of Swish Swish.
Edit: I just realized that this EP was released under UMG while Smile + past albums were released under Capitol Records.

Happy Birthday Queen! You released the best Pop album of the year and had a baby. Hope you'll have a happy and healthy life with your lovely family.

She is so pretty without makeup and dark hair. Reminds me of a friend of mine.

Yo is she trying to get out of her contract cause what is this in reference to the compilation EP? if so, it's a tactic a lot of artists have been using recently, I doubt it would change anything in her contract or count as a new release. these are like little thematic playlists. I've seen Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Kiana Ledé and Halsey do this kind of "EP" release this year.

What's next in the promotion of the album? Any other single? Or is the era done? Interesting that this was my first full album I've listened of hers, and I liked it. I thought I wouldn't, but for a few weeks I was listening to it often. For ME she's been a single artist all these years. For some reason never felt the need of checking out a whole album even though I liked so many singles.

I’ve heard rumors of a NTEOTW video but I’m pretty sure it’s just that...a rumor. They really dropped the ball on this album and honestly, I don’t see us getting another single. If anything, I could see her dropping a NTEOTW video with no promo, no push (similar to Hey Hey Hey). I still really enjoy this album but I’m pretty sure they’re moving on.
I still don’t get the point for the two compilation EPs she dropped. I know other artists have done it but I wouldn’t be surprised if Katy is trying to get out of her contract with Capitol.
On a different note, my alternate covers finally shipped this week.

I get "the baby and all" but why hasn't Katy promoted anything herself? Like it's her album, it's her songs, took her all that time, and only Daisies is promoted? Just seems strange. Like make an IG post or something. Make a tweet. Not sure what is so difficult about that. You could do that while in bed breastfeeding. Just seems strange to have your own body of work that you should be very proud of, yet it's being completely ignored.

New era? Next Smile single? One-off single? Whatever it is, I hope they actually promote it to radio.

With all these EP playlists, I was wondering if she’s at the point in her career where a Greatest Hits compilation would be a good idea (perhaps with 1-3 new songs)?
The ones by P!nk and Kelly Clarkson sold fairly well and managed to get them another hit or two, plus it’d be a great stocking stuffer for Christmas.

Something small and if it doesn’t do well it doesn’t come off as another failed era, but she can sneak a hit out of it she can rebuild momentum. Pink and Kelly’s were released like over 5 years ago so Katy’s sales would likely be significantly smaller.

Tucked is such a career highlight. The 'nanana's are so lazy and make it sound like it's coming from an indie pop band who sold out in order to appeal to the masses but other than that I love it. It reminds me of a plethora of other songs but I can't put my finger on them. Maybe Lovefool?

Still can't believe they didn't at least try and push something, anything when the album dropped such a shame.

Perhaps her label thought the Target commercial "Smile" was included in was going to get something going??? I know "Smile" didn't get much radio play but I used to see the commercial constantly..

I got my alternate cover CDs today. They’re all better than the OG cover imo.
