I'm pretty sure KT Tunstall has a similar format, at least with the little cassette tape for the music, so hopefully it's a bit more interactive and updated more *crosses fingers*

I really did like the Heroes and Thieves artwork for it though, did anyone printscreen it before it went, and if you did can you please post it?

I'm good at this stuff, lol...

making a mistake is always a good way to start..

from the 404 error page:

"We cannot locate the page you're looking for. Please check the address and make sure all letters are lowercased with no spaces. You may also move to a different page by using the links in the menu bar above."

looks like we're going to be getting a menu bar!
lol, that's always a good thing.  :)

You should erease your browser's caché then. But before that, do you get the old site? like, all the site? Or just the victorian lady? Could you make a screencap for me please? : )

Now when you go on the website, it has this awesome calligraphic animation that says:

this is so exciting - I love the new font! I think it's good that she's changing up her look.
I was thinking the other day, this is going to be a brand new Nessa. This is the first music in a while that wont have had any input from Stephen Jenkins (I'm assuming), which I think is a good thing - for her to branch out and do things different ways and on her own terms (not that her work with him wasn't!). I think this album is really going to reflect the current Vanessa Carlton, and I'm so excited for that.
I just hope the album manages to gain enough attention for her to do small international tours. I'd love for her to come back to Australia!

Wow that's so exciting. Can't wait for more, let's hope we won't be stuck with "coming soon" for the next 6 months.

At least we know for sure that Vanessa does have a label - she wouldn't have done that by herself. But which music company is she with??

Ok.

So I'm majorly editing this post (and secretly hope that no one else read what I had written earlier).

So the fact that the name was awkwardly placed got me thinking.

There has to be something in that right?

So here's the pic:
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/josephherbert/unedited_bunny.jpg)

And here's what I think it is: It's a Rabbit!!!
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/josephherbert/edited_bunny.jpg)

Am I getting toooo excited!!!

Halucinating stuff?

Discuss, children.
Title: Re: New Official Website
Post by: Martin. on November 01, 2010, 08:45:42 am
Yeah, a new website doesn't mean she's signed to a label. Her management have sorted the site out.
Title: Re: New Official Website
Post by: Rabbits_on_the_run on November 01, 2010, 10:31:06 am
The weird thing is that there isn't written something like "The Inc." or "Universal Music" anywhere but just "Vanessa Carlton". Kinda makes me think she's on her own now.. Maybe a friend of her did the website... I don't think she could have done it by herself, come on she doesn't even know how to change her twitter background... lol


@ Joey. You've got a hell of an imaginative mind. Kinda like it ;)

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/josephherbert/edited_bunny.jpg)

so, i think the name is placed in a very artificial position, but not enough to make me think it's a rabbit.
anyway, i think your imagination went so far ahaha'
Title: Re: New Official Website

She (or whoever) just hired someone, that's all.

Let's hope the site will be up this month!! I bet there will be songs to listen like in the h&t one.

I was thinking maybe it has that 'artificial' shape because it's designed to put on a vinyl label, so the hole won't cut it.

A single preview/release would be awesome!! How about a music video? I'd love to see a new video from her <33
Title: Re: New Official Website
Post by: bumblebee429 on November 04, 2010, 01:24:30 am
Would love a new video too! But think that might be too optimistic at this point. Music videos cost a lot to make, and V isn't signed to a label (that we know of?).
A preview of the new single would be as realistic a wish that we could ask for.
Can't wait to hear some new studio material! I really hope that the studio versions of the new songs are as amazing as the live recordings!

YAY at that new tweet and reading "coming soon" knowing she wrote that is even better :) Wow you've got good eyes for seeing the little rabbit. I wonder if it's her new logo for the Rabbits era, kinda hope it is. Would love to see that logo on drums, guitar and piano when she's touring, well if she's touring with a band.

OH MY GOD!
I just may have made a discovery.....

(http://i56.tinypic.com/51v537.png)

ok, so I just drew this, and I'm not the best at drawing, but I tried to re-represent what I saw..
and I took a picture of it in a dark-lit room with my cellphone lol.

ANYWAY
you get the idea!!!

Look at the icon on the website!!
I know it's hard to see, but I SAW IT!
I swear the rabbit says "Vanessa"!!!!

it has the classic elongated "n" and elongates the last "a" for that rabbit feet look.
the first "a" (head) is right under the V (rabbit ears), and surely is sorta morphed in with the "n" a bit, but hey, I totally see it, and I'll be damned if I'm wrong about this lol.

that's SO AWESOME!!!!
can someone else draw this and re-create it better than I can?


....cough*this might actually be a good idea for a tattoo*cough ..holy crap, I'm SO calling it. my idea. ;) lol

!Yup.

It's Vanessa alright.

I can totally see the bunny rabbits and her name everywhere. She must've been playing around with her name and the rabbits...

Hence, the amateur caligrapher thing!!!

Nice catch Andrew!

It wouldn't surprise me that the reason her album is being released next year IS because 2011's the year of the rabbit.

I'd love to be a fly on her loving room wall when she's sat at her piano.

totally agreed. i mean, look at how many things she thinks before making an album. this is awesome, she's not any artist.

and poor vanessa... if it was possible, how many flies would she have in her room?

On some comments before i said that there are a lot of versions of the same animations, and i put the links too, but just for the first ones.

You can download the .swf flash animation going here and saving page as... :) http://vanessacarlton.com/vc-coming-soon_v027.swf (you can change the number 27 with any number between 18 and 27, i guess those were just for testing :) )

I was so upset when people disagreed with Joey on his seeing the bunny in the original writing on the new site.  I sooooo see what you see and with each update it becomes more evident that he was right (in my opinion!). 
I think we may have to wait, not quite six months, but until she has a single out, until we get a finished site. I check every day and hold my breath until I see the "coming soon" write itself, then I let out a sigh because it's not "soon" yet.  :-[

Does anyone remember how long (or if) the site was under construction when Heros and Thieves came out?  I was not a memeber of either site and did not follow as closely as I am these days.  I'm just wondering if there would be a correlation and when we can expect the new site to be up and a single...?

Post by: itsthefiveofus on January 20, 2011, 05:01:29 pm
It was a picture of Vanessa *the red dress one against the tree from H+T* and her name and said coming soon. I know board members took print screens of it, Kulp, I think too some. Correct me if I am wrong. :). Thought that was a while back so I doubt anyone still has them.

But that said, I don't think one can really expect for the site to be back in the same time that it took for it to be back during H+T. It could be longer, or shorter.

The coming soon was put up on June 25th of 2007 and was not updated with the Heroes and Thieves site until October 10th 2007. So it took about 3 and a half months give or take.

Well that sounds promising because it's been just about that long the site has been down...maybe we can expect news by Feb...hey, isn't that the Chinese new year too??  I wonder if she really did plan it all out this way or if it's all coincidence!

I had a dream last night that the site was ready!  It didn't look like what I imagined, it was totally different. But it was still ready.  In the dream I was searching to find when a single was going to come out and I was on the brink of finding it when I woke up!  Dreams always end when the good stuff gets started!  Hopefully our dreams will come true within the next week or two.

Don't think its a coincidence that he's from the UK. Seeing that shes been working on the album in London and all

more info: http://uk.linkedin.com/in/gordonlangley

I'm pretty sure he will end up designing the final site once the coming soon is taken down.
Will have to wait and see.

And ROTR sounds amazing already in snippets. Very different. More relaxing and serene.

Do you guys really hear the "just a dream" meolody? Minute please? Cause omg.

I think this is the record she's always wanted to make. 'Be Not Nobody' is going to sound like it was recorded by a completely different artist.

I can't wait to see the artwork for this.

That...was...amazing!!!!!
I logged on and saw this, and was shaking with excitement, and then I went to the website..
Wow!!!
The snippets of the songs are beautiful.
And I love the children's choir on IDWTBAB.
This album is going to be amazing!!

I can't wait till we hear the news about the release date.

I completely agree.  On this album, she went independent and didn't let the record companies or anyone else tell her what to do.
On this album, it's all Vanessa!  I'm so happy for her!!

And the artwork will be great!  In the video, there was a part where it looked like she was doing a photoshoot.. probably for the ROTR artwork!!!

I got lucky and actually downloaded the raw file from vimeo before downloading was disabled on the video.

here it is: high quality .MP4 format 166.95 MB

If you want the video, download here, don't try to download it yourself through other methods, it won't be as good quality as this.

the video is already uploaded on vimeo and has a counter for how many plays it has, so theres not really a need to upload it anywhere else... just saying.

My heart just about pounded out of my chest, I got giddy with excitment and just sat here smiling as I watched her.  Of course my husband is like, who is that?  WHat are you watching.  I thought she was black.  and on and on. and I'm like SHUT UP!!! so I have to watch it again when I'm alone because he bugs me. hehe.  I can't believe we are getting more and more info.  I realllllllly hope she does the behind the scenes like she did with Harmonium but LONGER!  It seems unreal.

..AMAZING. This was so worth the wait..and it's so wonderful to hear new music from V..I hadn't listened to any of the new songs yet cause I was waiting for the album, but this just blew me away...amazing..I was tearing up..the first song was beautiful, and the second song makes me feel so ..nostalgic and teary..ARGHH!!! I NEED MORE!!!

Thank you for the DL link KULP, downloading now ;D

I agree with Weisz, I think V would make gorgeous instrumental music..I love the instrumental-only bits in "Home" and "Come Undone" (and her other songs too) ..that being said, I'm so glad she's making an album!!! I hope there's some piano-only music on there...

Oh man, so excited!! New album = new songs to listen to and learn to play on the piano!! YES!!

Time to rewatch the video!!!

Can I just say how beautiful Vanessa is looking in the video.  :)

The studio versions of some of the songs really sound brilliant, although we have already heard some of the live versions of certain songs, the produced version will be like listening to a completely different song. Can't wait to listen to London.

And so agree, I would definitely buy an album of just Vanessa instrumentals.

The photos look absolutely stunning, wouldn't be surprised if the cover will be by far her best one yet. The sound is so....... I have no words.

Just.. thank you Vanessa. Stevie was right, once you took her into your heart, she'll never let you go. And that video prooves it, she didn't let us go :):):):)

I too think she looks amazing in this video and in the photo shoots.  I love the shot of her when she's in the fur coat and she turns around, makes a face and then smiles.  Her smile just melts me!  Is that weird coming from a woman? lol.  She is so beautiful and this album is just a culmination of everything that is her.   I also just noticed that Victor is sitting right next to her on the chair (which I like), he's adorable (for a wiener dog).  I'm glad she has that companionship. Animals really do ground you and give you a sense of home.  I'm getting more excited for undiluted Vanessa goodness.

OMG @ the whole thing. I was okay until I heard the studio version of I Don't Want to Be a Bride. Then the children's choir came in, and the piano and drums and V's voice over top, and I just had tears streaming down my face. STREAMING. Then when the whole video was over I just kinda put my face in my hands and sobbed.

I AM SUCH A LOSER. But this album just sounds so magnificent, so transcendant, words can't explain.

a) Let me just say I'm in love with her and that video made my day.
b) I almost didn't notice Victor on the chair.
c) I love how she inspires me after watching this video. I mean she seems so confident of herself. It's like she knows what she wants and she's going after it. And it's not something impulsive... It's kinda well thought out... and just inspiring. LOVE THAT PART ABOUT THE VIDEO.
d) Does anyone else feel the makings of a second "Pleased to meet you"?
e) The part in the background that sounds like a her song being reversed when they introduce patrick hallaghan? AWESOME MUCH!!?
f) The bits of London that was leaked. Extremely haunting and TOTALLY unlike the stronger voice we've heard her use when she's sung it live.
g) The boots on concrete song seems to have an amazing chorus. Love the dreaminess of it all.
h) Actually disappointed with the number of kids in the children's choir. I wanted more of 'em!!! Or do you think this was just these kids recording and then they got some more of 'em. Blah. I don't know squash about recording.
i) Lastly. Love the way she reacts at the end of the video. The "Beautiful!" bit... She is so serendipitous even though she's such a pro flying solo and all... ya know what I mean? ;-)

when she says beautiful I think she is referring to the edit they have to do.  If you listen, she made a mistake so she's saying "beautiful" in reference to the wrong note/s she played--basically laughing at herself.

A little interesting tidbit I found out: Steve, the guy Vanessa mentioned who produced stuff for one of her favorite bands, Doves, and who also seems to be producing ROTR, produced KT Tunstall's last album. His full name is Steve Osbourne. So everything kinda makes sense now, seeing as how a while back V mentioned KT. I don't know, I thought it was interesting.

Yeah, Vanessa and KT are friends, so V probably heard KT's album and really liked the production, so she decided to get Steve for ROTR.

At first, I was kind of disappointed that ROTR would only have 10-11 tracks (depending on if she releases an iTunes bonus, which I doubt), but somehow I think it's perfect. The album feels like it's going to be one long story.

I know I clubbed my points in the last response to the thread (which is why no one has considered some VITAL points I think I raised there (kidding... I'm not THAT pretentious :P)...) so I'm bringing to light two important observations:

Does the video imply there's gonna be a "Pleased to meet you" Part Deux?

... And does anyone love how gracefully she does that dance step she does ... It's so infectious... She's like a little pixie when she does it ! :D

But seriously... you think we're gonna be blessed with a DVD??? Cos it seems like they had a camera recording the whole thing!

Yeah, I actually think there will be a DVD for this. Well, I would hope so. I would LOVE a mini web series of a "making the album" like Sara Bareilles did with her 'Kaleidoscope Heart' thing - she sent updates every week in the form of a vlog and you got to see songs being created, her thoughts, inside the studio, etc.

I think there's going to be a set of vlogs leading to the album's release.. it seems like she has many more clips up her sleeve than the ones we saw in the one video.

ooo that would be such a tease!
I also love the little dance she does, and the fact that her and Ari are hanging out in the yard (I am assuming that's Ari, it kind of looked like him).  I really hope there is a DVD or at least a pleased to meet you take two.

I would love another "Pleased to Meet you" kind of dvd for the album.  If not, some more short videos or vlogs would be great!!
I'd just love to hear more of her thoughts on making this album  :)
Title: Re: New Official Website
Post by: Weisz on February 23, 2011, 12:36:40 pm
I might be the only one here but, i kinda think that a dvd is not necessary, I mean, she could just release the videos online like a lot of artist nowdays do as u all say, and no, this would not mean less benefits, the contrary, selfpromotion. She should approach more to the world using Internet, It's how it works now. Nobody discovers a musician or an album on a record store or by watching the tv (mtv, vh1) anymore. Said that, thats why i was reeeaaaally happy when i saw she put a video on the site ;D

When she did that dance, i squeeeeeeeed! What the hell, i squee everytime :D
Title: Re: New Official Website
Post by: B on February 23, 2011, 04:22:22 pm
Yeah, the vlogs, tweets, and social media messages will be important if she's looking for commercial appeal. Even if not it will help spread the word to some of her other dedicated fans who may have moved on but are still in the inner NESSAholic circle and will eventually get word of the new material.  8)
Title: Re: New Official Website
Post by: sarab on February 23, 2011, 04:43:44 pm
she should do both.  I think having a hard copy of everything is important to her (hello, she's taping on analog) and it's important to us (well at least me).  As much as the digital age is taking over, I love having CDs and books.  I've only bought a handful of digital songs and books for my eReader.  I think initially having everything online is a smart promotional move, but eventually, there should be a dvd of some sort.

There are times when my Nessa fervor lags because she's been away for so long, but then when she takes us into her world, catches us up on what she's been doing, I am reminded of how much I admire and support her.
I have a feeling this CD might be her best work yet <3

I love her so much  :'(

Post by: Giuliana on March 01, 2011, 03:06:36 pm
So, I don't know if this topic has been discussed in another post but in case that it wasn't....

Has everyone seen the new video Vanessa (or whoever) posted on www.vanessacarlton.com!

It's A-MA-ZING! I mean, you can hear a couple of new songs (well, actually I think only one or two) and the songs we already heard (like I Don't Wanna Be A Bride & London).... From what I've heard this album is a lot softer, I mean... Is really relaxing, all songs are soft and slow, I L-O-V-E it! What did you think????

However, when she said at the beginning of the video: "To be honest, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to do another record" My heart STOPPED (and NOT in a good way). Jesus.

Anyway, what do you guys think of the new album??? Are you excited as I ammmm?

Oh, and BTW I have a question is the album gonna be released like, vinyl??? I didn't get that part. That'd weird.

Anyway, xx!

I just wanna point out a personal success for me, I was the first person to find Vanessa's SoundCloud account. lol!
I wasn't sure if it was official or not, so I didn't post it here, but I was the first one to follow her on it. and now it's confirmed official account =)
http://soundcloud.com/vanessacarlton

also here is the link to Carousel: http://soundcloud.com/vanessacarlton/carousel/s-vmGf5

and if anyone was wondering because it says uploaded 2 weeks ago, ....no no one could listen to it until now because no one knew the link. it is a private-posted song. only the link will bring you to the song, you cannot reach it through http://soundcloud.com/vanessacarlton
