Ava Max - Diamonds & Dancefloors

[Thriller]

The era has been a non-event outside of a few thousand internet gays, sadly, cos the music has been brilliant.

[greek_boy]

I don't get why there's no promo for her and the new music. Will there even be a tour?

She mentioned few times she is going on tour.

its strange how they did little promotion for Problem or MDB, but nothing since then … sucha. Shame as the album is so good.

[tj_club]

Definitely… it’s been one massive let down, big flop.

She’s needs to sack off Atlantic and her management team asap. For such a great album how they have managed it had been absolutely crap. Would love to see her on tour but with her management team couldn’t see it happening.

Well they haven't announced any shows yet, maybe it's too early and they want to see if there will be a hit after all. I wouldn't be surprised if plans for a tour are cancelled. She can be a support act for a huge name.

[Tansike]

True, I never thought about that. But after how huge her debut album & The Motto actually were, she got basically zero promo for this. Weird.

[Mugen]

They should have never moved the album from the original release date. Especially since I remember it was announced months in advance as well! I get that they wanted a hit first before releasing it but once the album accidentally leaked on the original release date, it zapped all the momentum when it came to promoting it.

[greek_boy]

I am officially addicted to the title track! Somehow I thought it used a sample from a 80s or 90s eurodance hit that I can't remember right now lol.

I can't believe they're using this ugly cover for the vinyls and not the other one which is by far better.

[RayRay]

So she finally released the tour dates.

I always hear ATC as it really reminds me of what she did on "My Head & My Heart" but nothing has been credited so I'm guessing it's influenced by them or some other forgotten act from that era.

"Turn Off the Lights" is a top highlight for me. I would have liked to see it as a single but the album rollout has been quite messy, what with "Dancing's Done" not even getting full single treatment.

I've given this a few listens after seeing all the rave reviews on here. I've got mixed feelings.

I think the album starts out really well with the first 4 tracks, and then it's mostly meh.

I can't quite put my finger on what it is, because on paper, pure pop talented female vocalist is what I love. But I find quite a few of her songs annoying. I think maybe it's the lyrics and that they feel so juvenile? But unless they're especially bad, lyrics don't usually put me off a song too much. Hold Up (Wait a Minute), Weapons and One of Us spring to mind (and from her past songs, So Am I).

there is a credit to Ruki Vverch! as it samples their song Pesenka, ATC did a cover of the same song.

[Forreal]

Cold as Ice and In the Dark my fave atm

[JeremySpears]

There are ads for "One Of Us" on TikTok

[basticasas]

still waiting for the Ghost music video...

[westhammer]

still waiting for the Ghost music video...

She uploaded a trash visualiser on YouTube already a hopefully that’s not it

[DoesAnybody]

I think they are giving up on the album already considering its low sales...

[tj_club]

This whole album campaign has been one massive mess. For such a great singer and with great songs it’s such a shame.

Ava needs to sack off her management and label and go elsewhere!!!

[ludichris]

"Ghost" should have been given a full release last year long before Christmas if we are being realistic. They sat on it for too long and probably don't see the point now as nothing has really charted so far.

I don't think she's in real danger as her streaming numbers are huge overall, even with this underperforming. She's still one of the most streamed female artists on Spotify this year.

[Thriller]

I’m guessing they’ll take stock after the tour is done… but the album has another few singles in yet, they should just milk it.

[BassySassy]

Do you think she should go into rock music - maybe a change of genre. Her music could sound good if she does it well.

[SilentDream]

"In the Dark" is the only track that I sometimes skip and that I'd consider somewhat of a weaker song, but even that song's still enjoyable and not by any means bad. I guess it just suffers from being the only slower song on an album full of bangers.

She should've have released Ghost instead of Weapons and Dancing's Done... with a huge music video and huge payola (that's what Atlantic do best) it could've been a cute hit for her...
