.....(under the new album section)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so i think it's about time that i address a few issues that are screaming for attention.
a) unfortunately, there will be no second single on this album. there are a handful of people at my label that do not see how great the album would do if it was promoted. yes, there are shortsighted (nonmusical bastards) and it sucks, but that's the way it goes. welcome to the music biz.
2!) i worked my ass off promoting harmonium in the ways that i could control, but you can't sell records to someone in the middle of indiana without a little help. (i like indiana).
c)the people (you) that have supported this record and love it are my true and ultimate fanbase. don't worrry i will continue churning out the goods no matter how big or small the albums are.
4) i'm writing some killer songs for my 3rd album (most people will know it as my second!). and feel that i am about to FINALLY settle down with a group of people that "get" what kind of artist i am. (yes, there will be a lot of changes going on.) no i am not a pop princess (current label doesn't realzie this important tidbit). though i know that everyone reading this knows that, the rest of the world should and will figure it out at some point as well.

i had a blast on tour (which i never do), and i can't wait to get back on the road. look for an album in early next year (yes, it will probably get pushed back : )
big kiss

The post itself I added a link to the post on the O-board for those who want to see it. -B

Call me dumb, but I wonder what she means by most people will know it as her second?

And wow an album early next year? Even if she said it'll probably get pushed back that's still pretty surprising to hear considering how long it took for Harmonium to come out.

She means that nobody but the true fans bought (and for that matter, even know about) Harmonium. It probably hasn't even cracked 150,000 sold yet. It is really sad the promotion sucked that hard. :cry:

... this is a very interesting post. Lots of stuff to read between the lines. We will see what happens.

I really wanted a 2nd single, but WOW a new album already?!

I hope so, too.

I hate to be the one to speculate, and maybe I was just reading way too much into the post and how she worded stuff, but it sounds like she might be hopping labels real soon. *shrug*

Yeah, I can "read" that too. At the same time, I understand her position if she does it: no 2nd single, no promotion whatsoever for Harmonium (didn't even get released in France!!). Luckily there was a tour but that's pretty much about it.
And wow, an new album early next year? If it doesn't get pushed back, it'd be a great bday present for me!!

I posted on the o/b for the first time in about a year.

Im so shocked. Im glad she is going to keep going because it will keep us going and me going.

Whoot! Whoot! Go V! A 3rd album *gets excited*

I feel so bad though, you could tell she worked so hard on that Harmonium, she was so excited! It came out beautifully. But lack of promotion (curse you a&M :evil: ) made sales go bad. But her true fans are still with her. In Vanessa we trust :-)

TRINIST · « **Reply #12 on:** May 08, 2005, 05:26:56 am »

OMG OMG OMG!!! :!:
im soooooooo excited bout new album and songs, but if she switches labels before her a+m contract is up then she gets hardly anything.
so good to hear she'll keep goin no matter what.

AND WE ALL KNOW U AINT NO POP PRINCESS! :razz:
