Woah, it was really 2019? I feel like the Breakaway vinyl came out well before that. I may have it and not realize it. I have the Piece by Piece vinyl, still shrink wrapped. Didn’t know that until I looked at my collection. I need to alphabetize my vinyls because it is so hard to see what you have. The writing is just so small. Yeah, far as I know 2019 was the only time Breakaway got a vinyl release. Of course, it's possible it got released some years before that and I don't recall it. Any time before 2018 I would definitely understand it not selling a lot. Trying not to think about it too much now bc my marketing brain is becoming increasingly disappointed in the missed opportunity the 2019 pressing was. Imagine if RCA, instead of jumping the gun in September, let the buzz of the show's first month build and then announced they were sending out a special edition for RSD/Black Friday in November. Send out a few nice posters/endcaps to the record stores and then let holiday shopping take care of the rest. Black Friday was 11/29 and the album's anniversary date was 11/30....ugh that would have been such a perfect little moment!

That’s crazy, it feels like it was so much longer. Maybe it’s because none were ever released locally. Our Urban Outfitters closed before that, I believe. Otherwise I would have gone to get one, I was collecting vinyls in 2019.

The full version of Happier Than Ever is the perfect example of the softness she can exude, the power she can channel, and the emotion she can harness.
She has literally never sounded better

And I say this as a huge fan of the original…but holy hell it’s one of the best in her catalogue IMO and that is truly saying something.

Part of Breakaway's low vinyl sales could be because it was exclusive to a store I haven't seen since Breakaway first released in 2004. :kii:

1) Y'all will die from Queen Of The Night. I listened into the EP via VPN/Youtube. A snippet of COMN:
2) I would love for Kelly to have a Stranger Things / Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill moment with a song from My December one day!
3) She is trending on Twitter, because Britney Spears mentioned a person in an Instagram post à la 'I'll never forget, Clarkson' after an old video appeared on social media, which is edited inconveniently.
It actually refers to Britney faking a British accent and Kelly feeling super uncomfortable during the interview:

Twitter is entirely on Kelly's side, which demonstrates that there are plenty of sensible people on the platform.

The EP is here and on my first listen, I feel like they did a great job with capturing the vibe of her actual live performances. And that first part of Queen of the Night! I know I'm being greedy but it's too bad that there are only 6 tracks and I already have a craving for more.
And about that Britney thingy... She must have watched that clip out of context and it's a very unfortunate misunderstanding. The whole world knows that Kelly has been always so supportive of her and never talked badly about her, even during that era. I don't think this is going to blow out of proportion but it's just very sad to see, especially since I would literally give up my life for both of these women. I fully support her journey of healing but I have to admit, Kelly is the last person on earth that should be held to account for bullying her. It's just sad.

Can anyone summarize the NYT review since it is behind a paywall? It says I’ve used up my daily limit of free articles which must be 0 since I have not looked at a single thing today. lol

Kelly’s take on Happier Than Ever is great, and there are some parts she improves on the original, but it does make me realize just how fantastic Billie’s vocals are, particularly on the softer half of the song. I don’t think Kelly’s vocals can really capture the delicate nature that Billie’s have mastered to be able to do that so well, and that’s not a knock at Kelly at all but rather praise for Billie’s ability. I had been impressed before but Kelly really drove it home for me how impressive Billie’s vocals can be.

Okay, just heard the Kellyoke EP. I really wasn’t excited nor had any expectations. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. Happier Than Ever, Queen of the Night and Fake Plastic Trees are the standouts. Enjoying Call Out My Name and Trampoline decently too. Sidenote: Fake Plastic Trees is giving me some serious Sober vibes.
Blue Bayou is the only one I don’t like. It’s giving off Don’t Rush vibes, which I always found boring.
EDIT: Fake Plastic Trees is hands down my favorite now overall. Idk how I’ve never heard it before so it’s completely new to me.

I never had any expectations on this but all the tracks are amazing as always. She’s so incredible! Although this is not an original album but cover EP, it sounds like original ones. Am I only one who feel that her vocal is more stonger compared to last album?

She just sings the everloving shit out of these songs. Historical imperative that her current vocal condition be captured on record. And on material she’s passionate about, with banging instrumentation that lets her rock out in a way we haven’t heard in a decade.
Six songs is so needlessly short 😭
