Janet Devlin - General Discussion

[Rosalita]

Album out March 15th. Looking forward to hearing the studio version of that song 'Wonderful' she previewed a while ago.

Behind the scenes of the album recording:

[hitori]

Wonderful just sounds amazing. She really needs to be a global star, or at least have a sustainable career!



She has also recently performed for the Dalai Lama.

[Andrwk]

Do we know when the album's being released?

[ops]

Per the PledgeMusic campaign, it should be released by May 27th. However, that date can be pushed back (as we've seen already), and it's all gotten a bit quiet with her, so honestly I'm not too sure what's going on right now.

Isn't there some clause with Pledge Music that it will be released by a certain date or you'll get a refund?

There's this:

"Disclaimers

From Janet Devlin
Any live, in person, meet and greet or similar pledges will be fulfilled as soon as possible, in arrangement with Janet’s schedule and therefor may take place outside of the 15th April 2013 cut-off date.

All exclusives to be fulfilled by 15 April, 2013 unless otherwise stated."

But who knows how legally binding that is.


As far as news goes: the pledgers' gigs are tomorrow and Monday so hopefully she'll provide them some updates on her progress that will get passed along, and hopefully there'll be a few recordings of the performances as well.

Janet should not have waited this long to release music. It's too far gone now for most people to even remember her, let alone buy anything she releases. She was awful on X Factor, by the way.

[hitori]

Walk Away sounds like a hit, but I feel like she should have grabbed the chance to sign in a major record label first before getting into the indie scene.

[eddy2375]

I have a hunch her experience on The X Factor had a large part in her decision not to go to a major.

Pretty good quality vids of her London performances:
