Lena - Only Love, L

"Ok" has grown on me so much, it's one of my clear faves now. But it sounds so familiar and I'm always trying to find out why. Probably from Taylor's "Delicate".

Oh, that's cool!

The clear highlight on this is “ok” imo. “scared” and “dear L” are nice too, but the rest of the album is really bland and generic. It’s overall pretty disappointing compared to her previous album and I’m actually surprised that it gets so much love on here, because on other forums most people don’t seem to like it (from what I’ve read).

[Tansike]

^ what other forums? ATRL?

I can see where the disappointments are coming from, as her last album was hands down a pop masterpiece and this new one is clearly on a weaker level, however, I think it‘s still a (very) good pop album. A pure pop album which is easy to listen to. I don‘t know how others feel but for me Lena never was an album artist until “Crystal Sky“, so “Only Love, L“ is still a big improvement over her first three albums to me.

Not sure about ATRL, but I think I read it on Popjustice.

Hmm, imo that’s right when it comes to her first two albums, but I actually liked quite a few album tracks on “Stardust” - “Better News”, “Bliss Bliss” and “I’m Black” >>> everything on “Only Love, L” bar “ok” imo.

I don’t know, maybe my expectations were just too high.

She’s currently shooting a video for "skinny bitch“ in New York City. I think they might have remixed it and put Cro on it since he’s on set as well.

[Tansike]

Hmm... i really like the song, but... a) I‘m really not sure if it works as a single and b) Cro? He‘s been over lately, so this isn‘t the best choice.

She should have went with Ok or something else as the next single...

If that is true, my song of the year is coming!!

[BeeBoy]

Skinny bitch is doing better than ans other album track (no promo songs) so I get the choice although I think the chorus is weak

[JeremySpears]

Did she shoot two videos? She was shooting something with Cro in New York and "skinny bitch" was playing, then she shot something else back in Germany and now she confirmed that the video that is coming on Friday is for "boundaries".

Smaller tour but with bigger venues.

Plus, there's a 'More Love edition' on that picture, so a re-release is hopefully coming. And I hope this will be the album cover, because it's absolutely stunning!

[JeremySpears]

Omg I‘m ready

[Mainshow]

Only Love, L - More Love Edition will be released 6th December, 2019!

including hit single "Better", new versions of album tracks as well as new music.

[Tansike]

Yes! So happy about that announcement. Plus with that release date, she will definitely add a nice amount of copies to her album total so Gold might happen soon after the release.

What I don't get is how you can basically listen to the whole album except the four unknown songs already through Apple Music. Same on iTunes, where most of the songs from the re-release are already available. No idea how this works nowadays with streaming and stuff...

Also, what I really dislike is the album cover. She had such a FANTASTIC picture for the upcoming tour and decides to go with the same cover she already used for the original album, the "Thank You" single cover AND the "Don't Lie To Me" single cover? Ok, she changed it a bit, but let's be real, that comes off as very lazy and if you have such a fantastic picture for your tour and if you really want your fans to buy the album (again, as most fans probably already got it) you could at least offer another album cover. That way the album may attract more buyers overall (or people who aren't that familiar with her and think she released a new album on the back of "Better").

Anyways, excited for this and the new tracks and I'm very glad it is really happening after all.

I adore Lena but with this era she has become such a bore. ok, private thoughts and Don’t Lie To Me are the only songs I return to but after the amazing Stardust and Crystal Sky albums my heart genuinely aches that she had faded into a pale comparison of her former greatness. She used to stand out now she blends in the background. Better definitely raised the bar but it wasn’t difficult, the artwork like it’s already been mentioned is a choice and a lazy one at that. I wish the iconic Lena would come through once more.

[JeremySpears]

The re-release is coming out December 6th and it will have 19 tracks.

[Tansike]

The "More Love" edition is OUT NOW!

The only song we didn't know so far is "It Takes Two" and it's a very lovely ballad - just what the album needed IMO. I actually think they should try to push it as a single, it definitely has potential.

[JeremySpears]

I just wanted to say that I‘m disappointed that there’s only one new song and that it’s quite boring.

Yeah. Thank god we have streaming these days. Would have sucked a lot if we had to buy this re-release because of one (or two with "Better") songs and some acoustic versions...
