i mean, i think her team is just an absolute mess. an unfocused direction for the era. and absolutely no hype/build-up. just random releases and no real strategy to it all.
she had potential when Sweet But Psycho hit, and then her team lost all the momentum.

An atrocious strategy to say the least. They tried So Am I overseas after Sweet but Psycho and the reception was lackluster, so when it came time to push a second single in the US, a brand new track should have been pushed instead worldwide with an album ready to go a few months later.
Instead we got the failed follow up pushed to the US which unsurprisingly failed here too. Then a few one offs here and there. Torn got the single treatment overseas months after So Am I finished its run. No track has been pushed in the US since So Am I. Salt finally gets released and it's the track that's best tailored to become a hit and her team is just sitting on their hands. It's ridiculous how incompetent they're being. I get that her image isn't fully formed yet and her star power isn't that strong and that would make it difficult to get her higher profile gigs to promote these singles, but they ain't gonna magically fix itself with zero singles. This has been like a 101 lesson on how not to promote your artist.
Thankfully that Alan Walker track is on Today's Top Hits at least and does look poised to become an overseas hit. Maybe if it does well there it can crossover here, but if "Faded" never did, I don't have high hopes here. But it could at least get her somewhat back on track for Europe. Having a Rita Ora/Zara Larsson type of career wouldn't be too bad.

This would probably be near the very top of my most anticipated albums for 2020. I love almost song I’ve heard from her thus far
Y’all are sadly right about her management team being a bunch of idiots though. Way to mismanage one of the most talented “new” artists, guys 😔

"Torn" sweetie I'm so sorry.
I wanna know the purpose of "On Somebody"'s release then if it's not even on the album. Maybe that was the last outtake she wanted to release and the actual album rollout starts soon.

On one hand, that makes me happy because that means more new music from her and I live for new music from her On the other hand, nearly everything else she's released since SBP is so good tho . At least do it the Mabel way and include them as bonus tracks or something

I need "Torn", "Salt" and "On Somebody" on the album 👏👏👏
They can keep the rest because we been knowing "So Am I" and "Not Your Barbie Girl" never happened.

They should do like Liam Payne did and put those songs as bonus tracks on the album. They are too good to be left out.

I’m hoping for preorder sometime next month, I’d say probably a song with preorder on the 14th since her birthday is 2 days later. I just want the album already.

I guess because I'm now used to not buying full releases anymore that I would think people would be happy the songs they already have isn't on the album. More new music... Unless your craving for a physical copy why do people need all the songs that have been out for awhile to be on one release? Don't most people make their own playlists now a days?? Personally if I already owned or saved a song why would I want it on a new release? I want new music...

It just confuses me as to why she would make and release this much music if it’s not part of an album. Not that I’m complaining she did that because they’re all bops, but my point remains

Tbh she should just drop the whole album instead of keep releasing these one-offs with no plan to promote any.
Her best shot at this rate would be if the album becomes a cult classic ala Emotion.
