So what will be the third single? (if there is one)

Post by clewsr »

From Farrow -

'The first two of three proposed seven inch singles taken from the Huh? album. The design remains exactly the same on all of them with just the title and choice of fluorescent colour changing'.

So what track do you think will be on the next single? I might have plumped for I am what I am, but as the instrumental was on the last single it seems unlikely. I'd vote for Heading for the top or Get what you deserve, but both are a bit long for a single. Could be Freedom for another laid back one?

Edit - Also, even though they missed out on a nomination for the Mercury award, at least SWSL has been nominated for something - http://folkroom.co.uk/2012/09/the-4th-annual-hg-prize/ - not that I've ever heard of it!

I would have thought I Am What I Am too in terms of most commercial possibility, but the truth is that the third vinyl single from a middle aged pop artist will sell based on the fanbase rather than appealing to the public. So, whatever strikes J's fancy I suppose.

hmm I would have said I Am What I Am too. the other upbeat songs on the record, although melodic, aren't really single shaped...
not sure we need another ballad as a single to be honest.

I'm going to cast my vote, but not for anything from SHSL. I would love it if it turns out they've recorded the new songs ('A' Song & Perfect Miracle) from the recent gigs and release those. Been so long since a Spz single release surprised me by having non-album original material on it. Bet I'll be disappointed though.

Actually, despite the sleeve planning, is there going to be a 3rd single? Would have made sense to have released it at the same time as the current tour no?
