Well we already know the Navy is filled with casual fans which is why her tour don't sell out in 2 hours but in 8 months and well some Navy (Santaus) don't even buy tickets.


She should have picked both and take out GIOW.

For the lead, she should go with a simple pop song this time (something like XO, just a bit better and not that messy).
I hope she takes a risk with the 2nd single this time, I could imagine her release something like Wait Your Turn or Skin

They should basically copy the Rated R concept, just with a mainstream lead

I kinda disagree. I don't want simple pop song ever as a lead single from her. "Only Girl" is terrible. If anything I am here for her We Are Young

[MikeFenty]

I prefer her taking a risk directly with the first single and not even have in mind the idea of "mainstream" and what is going to be hits just her in the studio making music she loves.

But "Diamonds" is a simple pop song. "Only Girl" was Euro-dance

I guess we all aren't as perfect as you.
I have my reasons and it's not like there's been tons of opportunities.

Ha We Are Young is We Found Love tbh

[thirdward]

I really want Rih to try pop-indie, a la Lorde

[BajanBeauty]

Idk XO reminds me of Diamonds. It has a stadium anthem vibe to it, so I wouldn't want Rih to do that again as a lead single.

I'm just teasing you.


yet Diamonds is probably 100x times more risky than OG.

[WeFoundWill]

She better not serve a Roar sized basic mess.

Yes I remember the Rated R teaser. I hope R8 has an intro song.
But they really need to use social media to her advantage!

- Now would y'all rather the hype be built up gradually over time (months) or be done in the same month the lead single or album is dropped?

2 months before lead single.

She is going for that #1 lead single ft. Damian Marley

Maybe 1month before the single release. Idhtt for a Lady GaGa hype mess.

Yes it is simple pop song yet it sounded like nothing on the radio. The vocals only.... Basic Girl could never

Who?

[thirdward]

She got enough social power to drop a teaser and the lead single the next day.

[WeFoundWill]

They should build the hype 1 week before the lead single drops, basically what they've done with "Diamonds" and "We Found Love".

You can't keep up a hype over 2 months

[Doogle]

I just listened to Music of the Sun and A Girl Like Me.

Y'all do the "mixtapes" so wrong... I mean Music of the Sun only has a few good songs but A Girl Like Me is actually a really solid album.

It worked well for BTW. But it failed to deliver. 1 week may be good but I personally want to be hyped as ****, I miss that
