I mean, if you really think about it, it's been what, 12 days or so roughly since this all started? The 18th is still 12 days away, & everything's progressing slightly faster.
What's always good to remember is that there's no planned time or date as to when the doors open, they just do.
Tbh if you just let go and accept that it's not coming until room 8/next year then you will appreciate the Anti Diary. The videos that are being released with every room are so enthralling. I can't wait for the next few videos, and more stunning imagery before the album release.
There will need to be some anticipation for the album. It can't just drop with room 8 without the gp even knowing about this promotion tool. This would work with an announcement in Room 8 (the release date) with an intense video, a snippet of a music video maybe ?
Music video/single should drop then. A week before the album release. Ideally we would want a new song, or at least a snippet in an earlier room.
