HOM - uhn uh.
« Reply #15 on: October 10, 2007, 10:18:09 am »
i feel like the album version of HOM (gah!  no!  it's PYHOM, i can't used to the abbreviated title!  it's been too long...) is, well...very annoying.  while it may be radio-friendly, technically, i feel like it would give the complete wrong impression of V's music - it sounds very overplayed-radio-na-na-na-ish to me.
and though i've given him his empire....

"Spring Street" is one of my favorite songs from the album, but I think "Hands on Me" and "The One" could be more successful singles.

I think that it comes down to the question of whether we want a radio-friendly 2nd single for the sake of selling copies or do we want a "Nessa" single that will make us nessaholics happy. I don't think there is a song on the album that fits in both categories.

We [I think, but I personally] all want a radio-friendly single to promote Nessa. We've all heard Nessa before and we know that she makes us happy in bringing out the albums she does. However, we want to extend Nessaholicism - to make others aware of her! Once that's done, i'm sure we'll all be as happy as a sandman.

As a fan, I can't really understand why a Nessa single wouldn't be a "Nessa" single. Whatever she does, you can clearly tell she makes it her song. I disagree with you.

We have to think about her well being, about her well deserving succes.
She needs a universal single, imo that's HOM or Home, but I have a feeling the latter won't catch on. And HOM is more in your face.

I think Hands on Me, Spring Street, Home, and Come Undone would all do really well on the radio. Hands on Me is catchy as hell, as is Spring Street. Home and Come Undone would probably do well as the last couple of singles.

I think it will make a fantastic single. It was the first one that stood out to me as a great single for the radio.

Um this would be a hit, since the beginning all she says is na na na na na na na ;)


Yea I understand all your arguments, but it's the fact that they've only decided to not only play that song on her site, 1st... but play it in full.

Isn't that usally a really big sign, because loads of artists only put there singles in full.

Oh god, if Spring Street is ever a single I'm going to stick a syringe in my right ear.

I agree with the majority -HOM would be the next best single. She needs to pick something that will get her the most radio play - it's catchy, similar to songs played on the radio right now, and something people can relate to. Sounds like a hit to me.

I personally think that the worst choice would be Spring Street - it gets so boring (sorry but this is my opinion) and I think that people wouldn't be able to listen to the entire song all the way through.

The One would be another good choice because it is all the above plus you have the bonus of Stevie (think both of them performing to promote the album!!!). It isn't as catchy as HOM but I think that it could be used to boost sales.

Home would be a good single but not for the next single. Need something that is less of a ballad and more something that people can dance to.
