OOPS22 4,202 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I can't imagine THAT many people knew about the album leak. However, the album debuted at #19, it's streaming numbers are incredibly low, and YAK/the album has fallen out of iTunes top 200. Can the era be saved? Fergie has been promoting on TV shows but that's clearly not enough. Has anyone heard YAK on the radio? Should she release a new single? I think she's going to release Tension as a single since she uploaded the audio onto Youtube and released a new video for it featuring Joanne. Thoughts??

IcePrincess 2,787 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Tension is so good. I love it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeehawKylie 7,817 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I don't think many people knew about the albums release date, honestly. It came as a shock when I saw people posting about it. That being said, I think it's a great album with a great visual component. It's delays, promotion, and single choices likely plagued it. You Already Knoe is a great song, it's a shame it was the fourth single. My verdict is that it can't be saved, we just have to enjoy what she gave us.

Thoughts?? Tension IS single-worthy but each song got a video this era. She released them on VEVO at different times, Tension is simply the last to be released on the site. All videos were a part of Seeing Double, which is on Apple Music and iTunes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needed bigger and better promo. YAK is great but it should not have been the "lead" single. Tension would have been a great option, but the video(s) are shitty compared to the other visuals which is a shame. Maybe she could pull a Katy Perry and do a album/tour bundle?

Arturo 40,746 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Absolutely not. Some albums start slow but this was dead on arrival. In fact it wasn't only dead it was basically still decomposing from 2014 when LA Love bombed. RIP Double Dutchess 2014-2014 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 It's doomed due to horrific promo and single choices. They should send the best and the most radio friendly song on the album to radio and see how it does. If it doesn't do anything with promo, I think the era is done It's a shame, the album is pretty good. Enchante is one of my favourite songs released this year.

Robo Ga 15,297 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I feel like it could grow slowly...maybe. I feel bad for her but like the rollout was f**king awful. If she had kept it all secret and released it as one, it would've done sooo much better. 🤖⚡️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBhomemaker 5,611 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Well her only chance would be to perform her whole album in a medley a la Beyoncé (VMA 2014 and 2016) at the next big music ceremony so she could have people's attention , it's really too bad cause this is a great album, it's a good return, Fergie work hard on it but not her Team production Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Diva 4,966 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 none of my friends or family even knew it existed. i love it tho. streaming party??? excuse me no Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillynate 6,170 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I feel there's no hope as I'm the only one streaming it but in bad times I always tell myself to be positive 1. It's a visual album 2. It's so unknown to people on this site that it hasn't taken the spot of being the "weak" era when talking about others example: no one here says "ha Double Dutchess era" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 116,698 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I wanted to give it a chance after the leak, I clicked on Hungry on Spotify, after 10 seconds I couldn't bare it and I gave up. It's sad to say that the album is not good and didn't meet my expectation and I'm sad about it because I love Fergie a lot So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochestrMonstr 3,215 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 She's in her 40's and it's been a decade since she's had a successful solo career. So i'm thinking no? I am glad she's still making music though. She's been in the music business since she was a little kid, it's obviously very important to her. I'll always love Fergie, even if the GP isn't here for her anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
