in this thread: Cher Lloyd

Love it!

So a second album is actually happening. Sorry I'm Late is out on May 27th.

Second single is this Katy Perry like ballad. Not sure how much I like it yet.

Yeah I'm not too into that. Prefer her playful than in Sia mode.

5/11 of the songs are already released

"dirty love" has a pretty massive chorus but the production is really brash and kind of off-putting. "sirens" is kind of tame and not special at all. "human" is a pretty fucking epic/sweeping/dramatic Big Ballad! without a doubt my fave from the album so far is "bind your love" tho:

it's pretty unassuming at first but has taken over my life now. the melodies are so light and beautiful.

Yeah Bind Your Love is great and probably my favourite song from the album so far, just ahead of I Wish. Shame this album will completely flop.

Ooh I hadn't been into the previous singles but Bind Your Love is v nice. I'm not super enthused about the overall direction but with the right songs she could def make it work

oh wow the video to "sirens" is...what is going on here? she plays a dealer's gf who burns his stash when the cops arrest him? LOTS of amazing overacting in this

it makes me like the song more

she should've just gone ahead and called "human" "human after all"

Yeah that video is quite something. That's actually the first time I've enjoyed the song too.

The album is streaming here.

the video for sirens is next level.

hits hard everytime i watch it.

has the second album done anything US side as it looks as she is a done deal in the UK now ?

i see i didn't really post in this thread after the album came out but it's really grown into one of my favourite albums of the year. she kills those power ballads. it feels very vulnerable and fragile and kinda depressive for a major label pop album; i'd sort of file it somewhere near kelly clarkson's my december maybe? i guess i haven't talked about it much because it feels like such a lost cause trying to get anyone to care but it's a strong personal favourite.

(and in terms of big(ish) pop artists, this is one of the few total triumphs of the year so far *stares at ariana in disappointment*)

ta for the nudge lex.
guess it's time to hit the buy now option on amazon ..
don't think i have even seen the new album in the racks.
if there are more tracks in the same league as 'sirens' then i will be a happily depressed man.

has the second album done anything US side

Not really. The album briefly hit the top 20 then was gone. She's mostly known for that Demi Lovato number (Demi's best song imo) which went big, but Cher didn't really bring much to that.

ok, i've checked.
not even zoverstocks are selling the new album off cheap.
thats how low profile it was in the uk.

in fact, its listed as an import !?
has the second album even been released in the UK ?

Really real deal love this album. Killin It is huge, surely it will be a single right??

It reached number 21 in the UK but dropped out of the top 100 after one week. Sirens missed the top 40 by one place. Doubt there will be anymore singles from the album anywhere now. Really she needs to put out Bind Your Love and go on X Factor to perform it but that's not very likely. They've not tried to push her in the UK since the first album came out for some reason. Agree with Lex that this has grown to be one of my favourite albums of the year.

Top 3 of the year for me! I can't express how much I love Human.

just re-listening in prep for eoy lists and the whole build up to finally finishing with 'alone with me' is so so good :)

this album has such a low profile in the uk, not even zoverstocks have it available.

X Factor final weekend inspired me to finally listen to this album and it's really good! Far better than its low profile would make it seem.

I can't express how much I love Human.

this album is full of wonderful songs, but this one hits hard and brings on the chills up the spine.
best pop album i have heard in a long time.

Bind Your Love is the one I go back to the most. Brilliant album.

Stage 3: Activated

vevo is struggling for me today - must be the new YELLO video thats killing their servers - still, i have very high hopes for this album.

i still love both albums far more than i should.

Disappointing new single. The chorus isn't bad but the verses sound so clumsy. I had high hopes after how brilliant Sorry I'm Late was.

The chorus is all kinds of wonderful though! I'm loving this a lot.

New single. It's good!
