"Listen Up!" song previews now on iTunes!

[gillyking]

@FLASKMAN.....First... I know how big of a Haley fan you are!... Now that being said...being that I'm one of those "mature more conservatives" lol, regardless... I totally got your review, ultra descriptive portions inclusive. I also enjoyed most of your takes. I just didn't agree with a few of your rankings, especially "Undone" which you basically wrote off. IMHO I believe that had Adele (current worldwide notoriety and all) released that particular one, it would be seriously playing worldwide and resting highly on the charts. I'm also trying to get more into the Reggae genre which I'm not all that with, but I do appreciate the lively and fun way she went with Lets Run Away. Oh My is still a mystery to me, but this little preview snippet is growing on me quickly, which, is amazing as I am not at all into Rap. I am curously looking forward to the whole cut though. Of the new ones that we're just learning about, my faves are Spiderweb which I can only imagine seeing her do this one on a nightclub stage!!!, Keep Coming Back and Undone, but I wanted you to know that there is not one track on this dynamic and diverse incredible by first look debut album that I do not like. It's simply a case for me of being (an old) kid in a candy store where everything is "the best"....

y'all make it difficult but I'm still waitinggggg

bb...OhMY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW is that once the promo's are UNDONE, I'm not a LIAR, they will absolutely have you WALKING IN HEAVEN in a WONDERLAND. So, NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE, you're FREE to HIT THE GROUND RUNNING but DON'T FOLLOW ME or you'll KEEP COMING BACK or you'll get too close to the SPIDERWEB and that would bring WASTED TEARS, so you better say LETS RUN AWAY, if you are getting too anxious to check LISTEN UP out before you get your copy in the mail..
Aw, go ahead and LISTEN UP bb.... it'll make yer night! LOL....

I trying to do that "song reference'" paragraph too on 5/22 to help advertise on my facebook. Just need to figure out how to word it lol. Yours is good!

I was also really impressed by gillys post. Are you still holding out too? I am proud to say that I am still "snippet free"

YOU are showing quite a bit of discipline, but don't you remember when you were a kid how you would sneak downstairs three days before Christmas, just dying to have a peek at the present that was left for you. You would open it up so very carefully and then finally you knew what it was. I'm sure if you wait you will in no way be disappointed. That bluesy very sensual sexy Haley as we know her singing the songs that are heartfelt. Just a few more days hang on.

Oh yes I remember! As a matter of fact I almost referenced that in a previous post LOL No matter how difficult sticking to my decision is I know that it will be worth it (for me) in the end (which is now ONLY 12 DAYS away........WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!)

bb...Yer a damn strong woman Will power to the max

[midnightblues]

BB ,get off the ceiling, it will be okay just a few more days

bb, do you have that tendency to make a word (or two) change to a line in a well established songs (or, maybe not so well established) too?

iTunes - Listen Up! is in the rotation as a featured album as shown here.

[Tusk]

since some of you here don't go to IDF, I have a thread asking people to list their favorites in order of most to least favorite attaching points to their placement.

So far after 34 votes, "Oh My" and "Undone" are in a death battle for top spot while the others are pretty far behind...

"Free" is obviously at a disadvantage because it's been heard to death, so it's placement is kind of false.

I'm amazed more at how popular "Undone" is considering "Oh My" came in with a lot of buzz, so I expected OM to do well.
Bolded is total points and parenthesis is avg.

"Oh My!" Ft. B.o.B: 380 (11.2)
"Undone": 378.5 (11.1)
"Hit The Ground Runnin'": 317.5 (9.3)
"Wasted Tears": 276 (8.3)
"Now That You're Here": 272 (8.1)
"Keep Comin' Back": 250.5 (7.4)
"Liar": 239 (7.0)
"Let's Run Away": 234 (6.9)
"Wonderland": 220 (6.5)
"Follow Me (I'm Right Behind You)": 219 (6.4)
"Spiderweb": 207.5 (6.1)
"Free": 194.5 (5.7)
"What You Don't Know": 192 (5.6)
"Walking On Heaven": 190.5 (5.6)

Something for everyone. I put 'What You Don't Know' near the top because of Haley's superb vocals, range, wail, chorus, and lyrics. Don't really think the disco slight some have mentioned takes away from her great vocal...but that's JMHO.

I'd prefer a rating based on a bell curve, all Haley songs would be near the peak of the bell, some just off the peak. Jlo would be on the downslope of the curve, way down, for a comparison.

[Flask Man]

I think demographics has a lot to do with preferences. Don't know the IDF forums very well, but my guess is it's mostly teens there, right? Anyway, I have no problem with differences in opinion about favorites, but I would be disappointed if people are bashing songs. There isn't a bad one on the album based on the previews and performances I've seen.

...judging by Shirley Halperin and Haley Scoop's reaction, ("Oh My") has a strong effect on women. I'm going to have to review the lyrics.

Some took a crack at them and I made a couple of edits:

Oh, oh, my, oh my
Hot, hot here between you and me
Hmm I'm burning up inside
You shocked me with your ways
It's alright for me to say like a firecracker blowing up the sky
You don't know (you don't know)
You don't see (you don't see)
Our static electricity!
And every time you touched me right
As I oh, oh, oh, oh my!
Oh my! Uh, uh, yeah!
..hmm all this tension is right
You rock me with your touch
And I'm liking it so much
Cause you're the best thing I ever had!
Oh, you don't know,
You don't know (you don't know)
You don't see (you don't see)
The way you love me is shocking me
And every time you touch me

----------- B.o.B. -----------

Look, well, these are the facts
She likes the phrases I make up from scratch
She likes my raps
She likes my wraps how they hold up my slacks (?)
She saw me when I snuck in the back, relax
Slapped a couple daps [fist bumps]
Took a couple photo's took a few snaps, like that
soon as she turns her back, I was gone in a flash, in a blink of an eye
Gotta speeding ticket for living my life too fast.

I said sorry, pretty lady, it's a race against the clock
and I don't like contracts
So let's make it a night to remember, before last call,
'nother round two glasses, shaken not stirred, this is my word
all I need is a night, gonna call me fantastic...

Oh my.

[Tusk]

I'm really enjoying the beginning and the whole vibe of "Liar" and I think "Walking On Heaven" is really under rated....I really like everyone of these songs....

I really don't get a 'disco' feel with WYDK. It's more '70's soft rock than disco IMO...there is a difference.

I still get goosebumps with "Wonderland".....I swear that song is the "crack" of this album, no Idea why LOL....
