Poison ivy Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Does that original song “Forever’s Beginning To Start”, date from the “Wildest Dreams” studio sessions or the “My Wildest Dreams” sessions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking self pride in being a ‘gate-keeper’ is a fools errand. Why not just finally leak them? Edited August 29, 2023 by Dax Diameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clearing that up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poison ivy Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) I must have entered an alt. dimension as rumors suggest the album could enter the album chart, as high as No. 2. Which would equate to several, parallel album entry positions with Steps .. so if she can achieve that on her own, why would she want to indefinitely go on splitting the money five ways, when (lets me honest) - all any good euro gay wants to hear is her voice tackling this kind of material anyway? Never really got to the bottom of why Sony let her go after “My Wildest Dreams” peaked at No.9, so I wonder how such an unexpected occurrence would go down at their London HQ 🫢 Edited August 29, 2023 by Dax Diameter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poison ivy Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) This is going crazy now. There’s a sudden demand for an extended club mix of “Xanadu”. I think Demon should shock everyone by getting Matt Pop to do it. He’s ‘hand in glove’ for this project and really should have been on board from the start! In fact, there needs to be Claire Richards/ Matt Pop Club Mixes for “Xanadu” and “Knock on Wood” (I don’t care if the latter is a leak - it needs to happen NOW)!

Poison ivy Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 The JRMX Club Mix of “Gloria” appears to be a highlight of the digital release for many. Whilst I’m fine with Steve Anderson’s extended mixes, I wish they would give “Xanadu” to JRMX (who would hopefully give it the same electro type treatment “Gloria” got). It would be awful if “Xanadu”s status as a bonus track meant it’s not even going to be considered for any remixes (at all). Claire’s rendition of “Xanadu” is way to good for it to be denied an extended club mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I’m indifferent to the Sudlow remixes. They just don’t do it for me on any level and I will always go for a proper banging extended club mix over an edit every time (for me Sudlow fail on both scores, same as when they remix Steps). Whilst I was aware of JRMX prior to The Saturdays “Not Giving Up (JRMX Club Mix)”, that was the one that made me wake up to them and appreciate precisely what they bring to the table. I might be a little tired of “7th Heaven” and nowadays prefer the fresher, equally (yet often more) melodic mix arrangements of Matt Pop - but if there is some kind of internal politics at play that explains why Claire and her team have an inexplicable blind spot towards him and the magic he could work for her - then as a last resort, I’d even prefer a “Xanadu (7th Heaven Club Mix)” over the tepid ‘will this do?’ ness of Sudlow.

Poison ivy Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) OMG! She’s somehow only gone and entered the album charts at No. 2 (I was hoping for Top. 20 at best). https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/ This is the kind of unanticipated chart placing that dreams are made of! Congratulations to Claire 🥂 Edited September 1, 2023 by Dax Diameter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreak Anthem Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Number two is amazing. Albums seem to be their bread and butter, so it does not surprise me. Even her debut was a top 10 debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.W.O Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Anything Steps and now solo steps stuff going in at number 2 is tradition at this stage. Very happy she sold well that means more music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
