Which song do you think that should be fourth single?
I think there is a fourth single on the way.
I have doubts between "Feel" and "Why am I dancing?".

But hey it's a good question, nonetheless

Schlager is probably the most ‘up’ track also different but may not be as commercial and appealing as WAID, which would benefit better from some great remixes.

I’m also thinking there’s a 4th single, plus possibly a deluxe nonetheless. Not bothered which it is because there’s bound to be a bonus track or 2.

Yeah I was just listening to that again and its wonderful in its kitschy way. And maybe ripe for a single mix à la Heart or Suburbia.dbaseboy wrote: Sun 09 Jun 2024, 11:49 am Schlager is probably the most ‘up’ track also different but may not be as commercial and appealing as WAID, which would benefit better from some great remixes.
BUT - the actual message is quite grim and nuanced. Which could work for them in publicity, but might also get a questioning reaction.

A la The Sodom and Gomorrah show, which they wanted as a single but record company execs freaked out about lol.jasonjohn wrote: Sun 09 Jun 2024, 12:44 pmYeah I was just listening to that again and its wonderful in its kitschy way.

Greetings,
Whilst I personally prefer "Why Am I Dancing?", somehow "New London Boy" sounds more representative of the album and might get more attention.
Retro.

Gonna go out on a limb for "Secret of Happiness". Crank up the lounge music to the max and show the world a completely new side to PSB.
WAID is lovely but maybe a bit too fluffy imho.
Save "Shlager..." for Christmas and remix it into something really special that will airplane over everyone's heads.

Re: Which song do you think that should be fourth single?
Neil said that he thought 'Why am I dancing?' sounds like a single in Annually. I think a little edit of the intro would make it great for radio play. Reminds me of 'I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing'. You never know, it might get a single remix. I think they should get Dave Pearce to do a remix of something for them at some point.
I seriously doubt any other tracks off the album could be singles, despite how good they are.

The future is the present now. Music must be played.

Dave Pearce???! It's not 1987.

I voted for "Bullet for Narcissus" because of a potentially very interesting music video.

Schlager is the best option, even though it's not the best song.

I think Why Am I Dancing is the most "poppiest" for a single, but it really needs a bridge added beforehand.

Re: Which song do you think that should be fourth single?
I think Why am I dancing is a lyrically weak rip-off of earlier songs. I would go with Schlager as it's vaguely anthemic sounding. Feel is my second choice.
Re: Which song do you think that should be fourth single?
I’d love to see a video for Bullet, but my vote was for Feel. Honestly I’d be happy with any of the tracks as a single, I absolutely love this album.
