My thoughts about the next UK single..

I thought i would share my thoughts about the whole 2nd single in the UK thing. Me myself, like everyone else assumed that "On And On" would be the next single, already when "Release Me" was released (Even Agnes sad so, in "the beginning").
It felt like the obvious choiche.
But now someone at AATW (All Around The world) says that the 2nd single has not been choosen yet and that it won´t be "On And On". And that´s because they feel that it´s to "euro" and wouldn´t work in the UK. There are some rumours that there are som brand new songs in the process of choosing the next single. And if thats the case, i´m thrilled. Though, in my opinion i think "On And On" is pure perfection, even if it´s a bit "euro".
What everyone wants now is of course that the follow-up single also will be a succes like "Release Me", and that Agnes won´t be one of those "One Hit Wonders". So i´m happy that they aren´t taking this so easy, and that they really consider every possibility. They live and work in the UK so i suppose they knows what works, and what donsen´t.
The UK is a super-mega-extra-big musicmarket, and Agnes´ beginning there has been fantastic, Agnes could become one of the biggest stars over there if she gets another smash hit. And as Agnes herself has sad; If you make it in the UK you make it everywhere (well something like that).
So i suppose there´s 3 options they are considering; "On And On", another song on DLP (Love Me Senseless, Love Love Love, Big Blue wall?) or a brand new song. What i can understand "On And On" is not going to be the next single, and another DLP song wouldn´t be my guess, so i think it´s a big chance that we will get a new song from Agnes, if the "rumours" are true.. Hopefully they will release the next single in september/october as they have said, to wait any longer would just be stupid.
For now we´ll just have to wait and see!

Quotes from Steve (working at AATW):

"Second single hasn't been chosen yet, it may be this (On And On) or one of a few new tracks."

"No they haven't. (Radio and TV) They've been told there will be a second single late September/early October. You, or whoever you got the story from may have presumed it's On and On, but it's not."

"There were some initial discussions between the label and pluggers about the possibility of doing a UK edit, but that never panned out. It became fairly clear early in the process that On & On, despite it being a great track, wouldn't work in the UK, it's too Euro."

"- your stories dated 15th of July, the process of working on other tracks had been under way for a few weeks by then"

"most of what is going on is at this stage rather dull, laborious and not news worthy"

Another Quote: "The next single is superb. You will be thrilled with it when you hear it."

Another Quote: "Anders and Agnes have been working on new tracks for a while"

Confusing or what?! What do you guys think? Let me know!

  1. I trust Agnes and her record company that they know what their doing and chose a good second singel. A brand new song would in my opinion be great. :9

  2. If Agnes and Anders been in the studio again and recorded new tracks then thats what i vote for. They work great together and I'm sure the UK version of DLP will have bonus tracks that have been released elsewhere.
