I can see what you mean about the Little 15 sound!

I tthink I may have to pick the albums up, I like what I heard on het myspace site...and as for that photo on there....blimey....very nice!

AndyH

28-02-2007, 08:43

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how she does this time around. I'm not sure the last attempt got very far, which was a shame.

mr starface

28-02-2007, 09:43

Her last solo stuff was pretty good but overlooked (especially twist of fate). Glad she’s got another shot, haven’t heard this yet but will try and pick it up.

MetalGearAl

28-02-2007, 11:08

Her new album is out in April and I like what I've heard so far. If you can listen to 12 Bar Acid Blues and Ghosts (latter is on her myspace), then give them a go.

Not sure I like the video for Don't Give It Up though - far too many cuts and bleurgh, zooming.

Hopefully she'll do better this time around, she's put a lot of work into her album. She's also currently doing various DJ sets around the country, here and there! :)

And, if I recall, "look over your shoulder.. now!".. "and again!".. "now the other shoulder!".. "again!".. "again!!".

..would appear to be the primary direction given.

MetalGearAl

28-02-2007, 14:25

Aye :D

Robby

28-02-2007, 16:51

Her last album was decent enough but nothing on there surpassed the lead single 'underrated'. Glad she's got another record out though.

MetalGearAl

01-03-2007, 11:35

Overrated ;)

Robby

01-03-2007, 15:51

That's the one. It was a bit underrated though :D

Wow, she's certainly grown up han't she? :thumbs:

Professor Abronsius

14-04-2007, 00:07

Heard some tracks off the new CD today.

Will definately be buying it. (Amazon says June... ?)

Tried to get the first one on iTunes but it's not there. :(

Will need to pop into HMV i think.

Cheers. :)

Drysolder

14-04-2007, 08:00

I've had the album a good month now, after hearing Don't Give It Up, and it's definitely a purchase once it's out.

As I've said before I still think it'll be overlooked like her last album, which is a blinking shame.

MetalGearAl

14-04-2007, 10:44

Considered starting a new thread for this but just haven't got around to it.

The album is excellent I think, and an improvement over the last which wasn't too shabby either. Getting some heavy rotation on my iPod.

Hope this doesn't fade away upon release, would really like to see her do well.

Seeing her perform next Wednesday :D

Professor Abronsius

14-04-2007, 18:20

Yeah managed to 'get hold' of the full Album today.

There is not a bad Track on it.

Track 9 - Medevac... :notworthy

Anyone know the Official Release Date... ?

Going to buy the 1st Album tomorrow.

Cheers. :)

Robby

14-04-2007, 19:12

Wasn't too keen on the beginning tracks but it really gets going towards the end. She really has got a great sound and reminds me of a modern day Kate Bush.

Great summer record.

MetalGearAl

15-04-2007, 00:47

Medevac is fantastic.

Professor - Revolution In Me is a slow-burner but still a decent album.

The release date for the new album, Ghosts, is around June time. Don't Give It Up is out now as a digitla-download but out in the shops from Monday.

So You Say will be the second single.

ascender

15-04-2007, 15:03

Her first album was very well received by critics but seemed to disappear without a trace. I'll check this one out, thanks for the heads up.

Professor Abronsius

15-04-2007, 16:44

No luck in 2 HMV's and various other Stores trying to get the first CD.

Will just order it Online.

Cheers. :)

MetalGearAl

15-04-2007, 17:56

Virgin usually stock it IIRC, but online is a good bet too :)

Professor Abronsius

17-04-2007, 22:43

Will give Virgin a go tomorrow and another bigger HMV.

Failing that, i will order online.

Cheers. :)

I really really like this album, and I didn't realise she had such a great voice.

If there's any justice this album will do big business.

Professor Abronsius

18-04-2007, 19:50

It's all i have been listening to recently!!!

Even Nerina has been sidelined... :D

MetalGearAl

19-04-2007, 08:39

Saw her last night - she performed a very short (5 songs) but good little set and she certainly has a great voice.

Kirs-tea

19-04-2007, 15:00

Really good album - better than I expected!

Andy

20-04-2007, 15:00

This is very good indeed - colour me surprised.

ohood

20-04-2007, 19:36

Excellent stuff, seems like quite a smart album... keep listening to it anyways, so it must have something. :)

Mork

20-04-2007, 21:38

She's on "Popworld" tomorrow on CH4

Johnny Vodka

20-04-2007, 21:46

For those who want to hear that other ex-Sugababe, Mutya, she has a track on the new Groove Armada album. It's better than her solo effort...

Drysolder

Her album is kicking around as well - the single's great, the rest of the album's a bit so-so.

AndyH

23-04-2007, 08:55

Bah - missed that. Anyone know if it's repeated?

MetalGearAl

23-04-2007, 11:25

She didn't perform, it was just a short (but mildly amusing) interview that didn't cover much.

AndyH

23-04-2007, 12:10

Ah ok, fairy nuff - ta

MetalGearAl

08-05-2007, 20:41

The David Lynch inspired video to the next single, So You Say, can be seen on the Channel 4 (http://www.channel4.com/music/video/) website.

It's rather good, tbh, although slightly disturbing!

Professor Abronsius

08-05-2007, 20:51

A good song... and a good video. :clap:

Robby

09-05-2007, 05:10

Aw, man! So You Say is , IMO, the weakest song on the album, almost as bad as Mutya's latest effort. She should release Medevac ASAP.

Professor Abronsius

09-05-2007, 07:52

Medevac... or Goldfish... :thumbs:

MetalGearAl

09-05-2007, 11:28

Medevac is easily the best track on the album, but it's quite close to the first track and would make too similar a single I think. So You Say is a good song but is also quite pop-y compared to the rest (would have fit just as well on first album).

TonyG

21-05-2007, 09:30

Finally got a listen to this over the weekend & have not listened to anything else since. Fantastic album, my favourite of the year so far.

My favourites so far are Medevac & Halycon Days.

Definite purchase once it arrives officially. :thumbs:

Professor Abronsius

21-05-2007, 23:16

Am still only listening to this and Nerina.

It is a very short album though.

Maybe need to get some b sides and extra tracks and stick them on the end.

Cheers. :)

30-05-2007, 17:44

Impressive album, very nice thing to listen to and I walked home from the work the other day and listened to it 4 times in a row :D great stuff, very effetive and hey the more I listen the better it gets.

Medivac is stunning as is ghosts, anyone played that backwards yet :D

I now want the first album, its not cheap anywhere sadly :( even Ebay its oging for £10! after all these years! scary, must be rare or hard to find? or people on Ebay are just dumb as spanners.

MetalGearAl

31-05-2007, 22:04

The album is often ~£5 in Virgin sales, you should be able to get it cheap.

Met and chatted with Siobhan the other day - she's a lovely girl :)

So I take it she is promoting the album? any info on where she is going as I wopuldnt say no to seeing her live (if her songs are ok live that is?).

I still cannot see her album doing well at all sales wise :( shame really, but unless she becomes a slut and forces it in your face in a music video, she wont be getting in the charts. Or she becomes a talentless TV star of a pathetic fly on the wall thing.

MetalGearAl

02-06-2007, 10:34

She's been doing a fair bit of local radio promotion at the moment, but given she's not getting Radio 1 promotion I can't imagine sales being great either.

Her next gig is at Popstarz on June 15th, which is an alternative gay club night in London! That's only going to be a small live set though at about 1am.

She'll be touring proper in the autumn though :)

RomerojpgX

02-06-2007, 14:17

I have noticed her posing with many cross dresser Divas/gay men online, guess she has a massive Gay following. Which wont make up for lack of crap Radio 1 support mind you. The world of music sucks, the crap sells well and the little guy (and gals) dont get much notice at all.

I have listened to the album so many times now, its quite great and really I havent even seen one of her videos played on any of the MTV style music channels even! almost no suport at all from the music players it seems, they would rather play the usual crap, over and over again! fools be they as I dont buy that crap stuff anyway.

I must say I would see her play live if she is near me, hopefullly she will be, and hopefully she sound like the album as it must be a hard thing to pull off live with so much going on in each track.

02-06-2007, 14:21

I've seen the video on b4, but that's the only channel I've seen it being played on at the mo.

Which is precisely what happened with her first album - critically acclaimed, but ignored by radio stations, ergo no-one knew about it and no-one bought it.

I think next time (if there is a next time) she needs more songs with raps in them, and perhaps some kind of crappy electro-beat backing track, with a really crap drum sample (which seems to be the in-thing in dance at the moment).

RomerojpgX

02-06-2007, 18:29

Or just get some over rated producer to do the album in His style, like missy Eliot or god dear! Timberland! or Eminem! then your are 100% sure its going to sell, even if its crap!

I honesty hadnt ever heard one song of hers ever on the radio or on any of the music channels, that says it all really and I sit watching the music channels all the time :shrug:

Professor Abronsius

02-06-2007, 19:29

Real Radio (i think it was them) here in Glasgow played an acoustic version of 'So You Say' a few weeks back.

Think it was part of a British Talent thing.

Another way to guarantee a sure fire top 5 hit (possible No.1) is to sample an old Lenny Kravitz tune in one of your songs... ;)

The Mutya song is good though.

Cheers. :)

Ordered both albums...loving what bits I have heard so far...

First album was £4 from amazon marketplace (better be legit)...the new album from Play for £9.

Is there much non album material?

MetalGearAl

03-06-2007, 12:47

She's done a few vocals on tracks that aren't too bad - Crime Of Passion is one. Also Carpe Diem and Styflin' by Square1 but they're nothing to write home about.

The new video is getting play on some video channels, but not on MTV I think :(

RomerojpgX

03-06-2007, 13:30

I only hgave 2 music chennels on my TV. TMF na dThe Hits, never seen a song of hers ever :(

I will try a search online for live music and extra tracks, as many Radio websites ussually have them things if you look long and hard enuff :) its amazing what you can find when you look deep.

Professor Abronsius

03-06-2007, 14:05

05-06-2007, 11:33

Just recieved Revolution in Me....problem with the disc though...

My PC cannot even register the album, I have tried two other PC's and they seem to be able to play the album ok, but refuses to play track 1...

Anyone know if this is a mastering issue, a duff copy...anyone else initially have a knackered copy of this album?

MetalGearAl

05-06-2007, 13:19

I've heard of that problem before, I think it was due to early copyright protection methods - works on some PCs and not on others.

Have you tried using a ripping program to see if you can rip it to mp3?

gjkendall

05-06-2007, 13:52

RomerojpgX

05-06-2007, 16:26

I have many albums that wont work at all on my PC, its really pathetic to be honest that it still happens. I paid for a CD, I want a CD, being able not to play a full album is a joke, even one song is a joke to be honest.

gjkendall

05-06-2007, 16:28

It worked, had to convert it to mp3 then import to Sonicstage, then onto my player!

Pain in the arse to be honest...album had better be good!

RomerojpgX

08-06-2007, 16:32

Thats depressing! "Don't Give It Up" failed to get into the top forty! thats pathetic, when crap Mutya's 'Real Girl' managed to go to number two, what a pathetic world we live in. Makes me soo angry when crap music sells.

Is there a reason whyh Radio 1 didnt play her music at all? or just Radio 1 once again being the worst music radio station in history, with the worst presenters, getting the most cash for doing nothing? (I hate Radio 1 with a vengence).

Drysolder

08-06-2007, 16:40

Precisely what I suspected would happen, all we need now is the announcement that's she's been dropped. Give it another single, and it'll happen.

RomerojpgX

08-06-2007, 16:47

Makes me wonder how some artists even get 1 album released :( looking at the top 40 singles at the moment is an embaresment to music, a few good songs, but on the whole they are a load of semi nakes girls strutting their boobs into the camera and rappers who join the production line. Try anything different and you wont get much notice. I feel like going out and buying a thousand copies of her single! (If I had the cash).

MetalGearAl

09-06-2007, 00:50

Precisely what I suspected would happen, all we need now is the announcement that's she's been dropped. Give it another single, and it'll happen.
She won't be dropped, she's on Parlophone (great label) and she'll at least get to make another record.

Drysolder

09-06-2007, 07:00

She won't be dropped, she's on Parlophone (great label) and she'll at least get to make another record.

Well, that's good news, she doesn't deserve to be dropped, but you know what the record industry is like at the moment.

26-06-2007, 11:25

Yep just back from HMV in the glorious Glasgow sunshine.

Picked up the Album for £9.95 and the So You Say CD Single for £1.99.

HMV had the Single at Chart No. 23?!?!?!

Cheers. :)

26-06-2007, 11:32

Gives yours a quick check. I played mine and although it has Ghosts printed on it, it is actually "Easy Listenening Disc 1" :nuts: with the likes of "Music to Watch Girls By" & "The Girl From Ipanema" :nuts::nuts::nuts:
A 2nd trip to HMV I think.

ralph wiggum

26-06-2007, 13:33

Another 90 min round trip & I finally have the correct CD! After all this hassle, it had better be double "bloody good" :lol:
Oh well, at least i have some easy listening on my hard drive if I'm ever in the mood. :nuts: ;)

26-06-2007, 14:00

Yeah, EMI have made a cock-up on some of the discs!

RomerojpgX

26-06-2007, 17:50

They are making it hard for anyone to get her music aint they :( muppets.

No way I would pay close to £10 when I can get it for £7 or well under other places online, £10 for a cd scares me havent paid over £7 for many years, ussually only pay £5 at most nowadays.

MetalGearAl

26-06-2007, 18:13

£9.95 for an album in a high-street store isn't really that much, a while back you'd have been looking at at least £13.99 from the same shops.

ralph wiggum

26-06-2007, 18:26

You can get it on the internet for £7.99 but if you want to buy on the highstreet, anything under a tenner is pretty good imo.
First couple of listens & it sounds good to me :thumbs: Give it another couple of plays & may hunt down her first album.

26-06-2007, 18:37

£9.95 for an album in a high-street store isn't really that much, a while back you'd have been looking at at least £13.99 from the same shops.

Its still far to much, thats why I never buy anything in shops anymore :D £6 brand new online for the exact same album you get in the shop, no contest for me :D still need to find her first album mind you :(

Professor Abronsius

26-06-2007, 18:46

Well i have (cough) had the Album for ages now and would have gladly paid over a tenner for it, but HMV was the first place i found it in stock so am happy with the £9.95 price tag.

Worth every penny...

Am off now to listen to The Girl From Ipanema. :D

Professor Abronsius

Siobhan recently did an accoustic set the AOL Summer Cooler, alongside other bands such as Crowded House + The Magic Numbers. Unfortunately she was only present via a video being played above the stage, rather than on the stage itself.

I had tickets but wasn't able to make it. Here's the videos of her set:

Drysolder

14-07-2007, 18:54

The album's dropped out of the top 200 after the first week. I guess a lack of promotion (in the right places) didn't help, it's a shame as it really is a fantastic record.

Judging by those that have actually listened to it there hasn't been many bad words against it! Oh well.

Same thing happened with her first album - I guess her brand of 'sophisticated pop' isn't just to current chart tastes.

RomerojpgX

14-07-2007, 18:56

I am still looking for her first album cheap, even bid on Ebay a few times now, but they always ened up near 10 quid! hopefully I will see it in a sale one day, I just cannot ever pay over £6 for an album now after being spoilt by the net, sadly her first albums not on the cheap sites :(

23-11-2007, 18:17

I also got her first album Revolution in Me recently (Ebay cheapest I could find it). Both go together very well, I would say if you like one, you will like the other.

One day she will do a gig near me, hurry up and do it I say :( I thought she would tour Ghosts about near me, but it seems she has not done much to promote it, or the fact it was burried by the media may have stopped her. The media and public can suck a lot.

RomerojpgX

29-01-2008, 17:06

What happened to any of the singles :( never saw a video from her on any of the music channels and never once heard any of her songs on any radio station, quite ridiculous in our age of video orientated media. No wonder who never sold many.

Professor Abronsius

29-01-2008, 21:11

Was listening to the Album again and compared with some of the guff that gets into the charts these days, i simply cannot understand how or why she is not more successful... :?:

29-01-2008, 21:13

Bring on the new album I say!

Her last album really is the dogs!

MetalGearAl

30-01-2008, 09:25

Last I heard was after Rent (which she's now finished) they'd be looking at releasing Medevac as a single. It should be really as it's the best single-track on the album and it'd be a pretty decent floor-filler. Perhaps they'll release it alongside the work on the new album.

Pretty glad she's with Parlophone who are quite supportive as labels go.

I never heard any radio play or saw her on any of the music channels either. Real shame as Ghosts is an excellent album.

Professor Abronsius

30-01-2008, 22:09

Am sure i read something about a competition where the fans done a video and it was to be for Medevac.

Will try and find it again.

I knew it was an odd song, but backwards it accttually isnt bad at all :D
Now you can hear some words, as a lot of it was recorded backwards to start with.

Ghosts - backwards!

I am reading she has a new EP out soon, kind of. Still no gigs and no new album mind you :(

Hadn't heard anything of an EP release, where did you hear that? Are you thinking of the Styfling EP out by Square1, which she performs on?

Must be that one. She's been dropped by Parlophone though.

It's a shame as Ghosts was a great album. The problem was promoting her really; I remember her on Loose Women, but the focus of the interview was her being an ex-Sugababe, and a few others were similar, rather than a 'new Kate Bush' angle or quirky pop star as the artwork/first video suggested. And the touring amounted to DJ sets in gay clubs? Plus, personally I though So You Say was a very weak single. Can't really see where she's going to go from here.

Yeah it must be that Styfling song :)

and as for her being dropped it is insanity really, when so much crap is in the charts! they support any slapper who can barley sing at all, yet someone with some talent who doesnt stick her boobs in every lads mag gets bugger all album sales. Crackers.

I guess she has to do the celeb thing next time to sell albums and slag herself around like all the other pop tarts. Big brother indeed, any looser gets on that show it seems and they come out heros of the world and get new albums done instantly.

I think the point being made is if you want a surge of popularity then you go on a celebrity show or release a sex tape to the NOTW.

He picked out BB specifically and to my knowledge no one on CBB has ever gone on to releasing an album as soon as they've left the house.
The only records ever released from the show are one off singles from the main show.
It's just a typical rant from the "my act is far more worthy than yours because they write their own songs and didn't come off the back of a reality show" brigade!

Donaghy had **** loads of money spent on her, with advertisements for her album all over newspapers and magazines.
Single videos also appeared on numerous occasions on music channels and she was championed by websites and blogs after PR people (more money spent) got her music in their hands.
At the end of the day not enough people cared about her music to make her record company waste more cash.

Maybe she should have gone on Big Brother then.

None of them have put albums when they've left..

Just another example of someone who is critically lauded but canned by the public. Shame, I love both the albums and she's a nice girl too.

Haha her album voted most underrated album of the year by some folk :lol:

http://blogs.we7.com/weblog/2009/01/siobhan-donaghys-ghosts-voted-most-underrated-album.html

I never knew but her album has some major problems, like the people who made the cd had a few thousands pressed with none of her music on the cd, they stuck someone elses on it :notworthy and they were sent to shops :shrug: and sold to the public :cuckoo: quality control, you gotta love it :lol:

She did vocals on a single recently, but I forget the name of the band. Anyone?

RomerojpgX

11-08-2009, 18:48

From what she says on that link, she never will be doing another album :( well alone anyway (other artists etc,, she will work with I guess) guess no one wants to take the chance on another non seller album. Which sucks a bit.

Still she got 2 albums out, both crackers, which is more than most ever do.

I seem to remember some chat about the cd having the wrong stuff on it. :D

11-08-2009, 18:52

Must be odd buying an album sticking it on and maybe not even knowing it's the wrong music :D surley some people still think that was the album :lol:

I have had some cd's like that, but I knew they were wrong, if you have not heard them before who is to say you will ever clock on.

'In 2009 Siobhan was featured on the Square1 single "Styfling", the single was released on 29th June 2009.'

Siobhan Donaghy Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siobh%C3%A1n_Donaghy) :thumbs:

Damn shame she will not release any more solo stuff. Maybe once she does some collaborations, a label will offer her a contract that will suit. :)

It's a real shame. I'm a definite fan and I love both of her albums, Ghosts is a brilliant record.

Critically loved, panned by the public - same story for a lot of artists really.

Panned is a strong word, "ignored" is probably a better fit.

Looking on the brightside, once the royalties dry up, hopefully she'll turn to modelling & getting her baps out in Nuts. ;)

Yeah, good point. She wasn't really rubbished, just ignored.

Buck Rogers

She's got quite a few decent B Sides and unreleased tracks kicking around. 'Obscured by Clouds' is pretty good.

Totally agree, this was a stunning album... criminally ignored but that's what happens sometimes.

I could only find those other tracks on Youtube though...
