I love the cover, presuming it's the final since she used it in the banner and before there was one with just text.

People slays, it's a pre-release single on iTunes (although she hasn't mentioned it ).

I'm guessing that's the next single since she was shooting a video the other day.

Originally posted by WheresJay I just found a huge portion of the album on Soundcloud and it's been up for a month?????????

Link me????

EDIT: I found it. Tweeted her about it because i'm assuming it's a mistake and they're meant to be private.
Gonna download them though.

Out of the singles + soundcloud leaks (which have been swiftly removed) my trinity is:
Bread / People / Let Me Fall

It seems like this album is going to be a grower for me.
I instantly connected with all of Sing To The Moon but on first listen I was disappointed with the TDR songs.
A few listens in and i'm loving them and it's definitely a solid album.

She put snippets of all the songs up on instagram so i'll link those into the OP now.

Phenomenal Woman premieres on Monday!
Can't wait to hear it.

Phenomenal Woman just premiered (played twice on BBC Radio 1 and twice again on 1Xtra).

It slayed! She talked about the song and confirmed it was inspired by Maya Angelou's 'Phenomenal Woman' poem.

It goes to UK iTunes tomorrow, presumably it's the second single since it got a radio premiere unlike People.

Show Me Love has been listed as a pre-order single for a while but she just confirmed she shot a vid for it so it'll be another single.

Interesting choice, thought she'd go with Let Me Fall or Lucky Man.

I realize no-one cares about this but me but i'm gonna continue shamelessly updating this thread in the hope that someone will discover her music.

Deluxe version of the album was added to the HMV website for £3 more.
Presuming it's just nicer packaging (softpack rather than jewel case) since iTunes doesn't have a deluxe version.
Vinyl has been added to HMV & her online store (with a signed print) with the same release date as the album.

She's touring right now and is getting amazing reviews. I was fortunate enough to go to the first show and she slayed. She did Angel which is the only full song I haven't heard from the record and it was cute.
She talked about filming the Show Me Love video on a beach and she had a panic attack and was scared to go in the water and random passersby thought she was drowning

Show Me Love got officially released as a pre-release single the other day (plus the album finally got a US pre-order). I hope she's able to do some US promo. A lot of talk show hosts have on fairly obscure artists as musical guests so i'm hopeful.

Video comes on June 15th, it looks gorgeous from this screencap.

Just over a week!
Same day as Orange Is The New Black though so I won't be able to listen until late Saturday probably.

She was on Jo Wiley's Radio 2 show tonight, she talked about Nan.
From what she said & the snippet, it's probably just her Nan talking for the whole thing, it was a phone call she had with her prior to Phenomenal Woman being recorded. So it kind of serves as an intro for that song.

Album Sampler posted, slightly longer snippets than we had before for some of the songs.
Renaissance Moon is an orchestral instrumental of STTM by the sound of it.
It's just an interlude anyway but really cute.

The album is now streaming on NPR

I can't decide if I want to listen or wait until my physical copies arrive though

EDIT: I listened and I was slayed. I'd only not heard Who I Am, Renaissance Moon, Angel & Nan but the album felt really fresh.
Who I Am is an amazing opener, I love the production and it works really well as an intro to Overcome for me (helped me appreciate the song more). Renaissance Moon is a cute interlude, I like that she referenced Sing To The Moon. Kind of an odd choice but it worked well. Angel is definitely one of my faves from the album. Nan was cute, great as a Phenomenal Woman intro. Her Nan sounds so much like her.
