Nicola Roberts - Cinderella's Eyes

[Artoo]

I feel like it has been her own decision in not releasing them on streaming, as she has been heavily involved in the process of making the vinyl's and other merch. Looking at her Insta post, there was a lot of thought that went into this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s no word on a digital release purely as a way of maximising sales. It’s possible they might come down the line. The vinyls aren’t being sold as being the exclusive format for these tracks (which is a pretty good USP) - giving me hope.

So maybe in the future, after they’ve released the records and sold the merch.

That does make sense, indeed, making them now very "exclusive" and put them on streaming afterwards. Fingers crossed! Apparently sales have been quite good, the company is obviously quite small but their email was down earlier today because of the amount of orders.

Well that’s good news!

I also wonder if this is a ‘test the waters’ project to determine how much of a fanbase she still has as a solo act. She should be able to take the pre-order volume and work out how to turn a profit on album #2.

With album sales so low I’m genuinely interested to see where this ends up in the charts.

Unfortunately she won't be able to chart, as Plastic Pop Records is apparently not registered for the official charts, same happened with the Sophie vinyls earlier this year.

It could definitely be a test to see how much demand there is for her, and how much interest there could be for a new album. I feel the Sugababes used the same method with their One Touch re-release.

Shame she won’t be able to chart as they are not registered. That’s a real shame.

The demo snippets she’s posting on Instagram are all pretty great. I really hope they come to streaming. I suspect they might, otherwise why tease the snippets now? I don’t think the physical release has a release date does it?

After listening to the snippets she posted, most of them sound even better than a good chunk of the album. The original Dragonette version of Lucky Day sounded amazing and it sucks they had water it down to the version we ended up getting.

Fingers crossed we get all the bonus tracks on streaming. Even CD would be nice. Don't know why it has to be vinyl only because I don't think the quality would be good if we try to rip it.

I've only just found out how great "Take a Bite" is!

Also coming to CD! Thank god!!!!



Plastic Pop Records confirmed it won't come to streaming btw.

How about an iTunes release?

I’m all digital, not even my work PC has a disc drive nowadays.

I would like that too. If not then sell it digitally through her official site or something.

She said in the comments she got the license to sell on CD 2 days ago hence the recent announcement. I can't believe they originally wanted this to be vinyl exclusive.

Sales tactic - sell the higher priced item first. Though Nicola didn’t take too kindly to such accusations on Instagram

I mean I wouldn't doubt her telling the truth about Polydor being a mess with licensing. also I don't doubt plastic pop records is trying to make the album go top 10 with 5-6k or something in January lol

Plastic Pop Records albums don't count towards the charts so that's not going to happen, unfortunately!

Did anyone buy this?

Did anyone buy this?

I did! My copy arrived this morning, was a little surprised because I didn't get any email notifying me it was shipped.

I didn't get time to listen to it yet but annoyingly the new songs aren't tagged at all. Just Track 01 Track 02 etc

That’s annoying! I haven’t bought it because I literally have no way of ripping it, but I’m very tempted to just buy an external disc drive for this. I feel that might be my weekend task

I was never a big fan of Lucky Day but the Dan Grech mix is really incredible. Loving this re-release.
