I'll definitely keep an eye on New Zealand for a potential first release, so two more hours to go...

No point in that. The song will have its first play on Radio 2 and then be on Spotify etc from around 9am GMT tomorrow. Like other acts who get their first play on Radio 2.

Maybe the title is "New Single"

Most new music is released on a Friday.

Not always. It will be released tomorrow.

To be fair, "Dreamland" first showed up on Spotify hours before the premiere, in Japan and New Zealand, I even found a post of mine pointing out it was available at 8:30 GMT on the day before the Zoe Ball show. And I implore certain people to act their age, it's a rather big number.

Well it's already 31st of Jan in NZ, so any release?

Not yet...

And maybe New Single is a 2024 version of Single-Bilingual.

Maybe the new versions of Rent and other classic songs we have been listening all over the place were actually the songs of the new album

Hopefully it’s a proper single and not a teaser like Axis or Inner sanctum.

Interesting if they will bring it on promo CD or flash-drive?

It'll be a proper song. Radio 2 giving it the first play likely means it's going to be suitable for the Radio 2 playlist and probably added to their A-list in a couple of weeks. It'll most likely also be one of the songs they do with the orchestra for the Piano Room thing on 23rd Feb.

I think Axis and Inner Sanctum were just released via an announcement on their website/socials/"What is Super" etc etc
