Tonight, JT, of the City Girls, joined her fans on Stationhead to answer some of their questions. With Summer fast approaching, of course, they wanted to know where is the album. JT gave an unexpected answer, "Right now, we just trying to figure out our next single. We not really too much focused on like an album. I don't want to tell y'all that and let y'all down. We really just trying to focus on, like, singles."
We all know that albums are going the way of tapes and CDs. Most successful albums are pushed by one or two singles. I wouldn't be surprised if artists just stopped making albums as we know it. I just didn't expect it to be this summer and with the City Girls. Are the City Girls really going to try to run the summer off of singles alone??? No, album??? It can be done. They may be trying to avoid the crowd and drop an album later.
JT, who is known for dragging a bitch or two, told her fans she does not want them dragging others, especially if they are using her face in their profiles.
"Defend if you feel like you need to defend, but some shit don't even need to be talked about. Like, the focus is to be able to make an impact and please our fans and grow."
Y'all know I love when artists tell their fans to chill the fck out.
Say Sumthin, Like, Share...Thanks!
The music industry is grasping for straws. Putting out singles only tells me creativity is lacking for full projects. Fans get bored easily and crave new music every month and artists cannot keep up with the demands. In regards to keeping fans in check. JT who I like should know fans sometimes take cues from her so in my opinion, she has to take her own advice. I'll give them two more summers. I had hoped for them to have longevity like my fav Salt N Pepa but... we shall see.
I hope albums don’t become like tapes and CDs. when I read the headline of them focusing on singles over an album, my first thought was good because it can give them practice when it comes to promotion, etc. Focusing on one song is easier than a whole album of songs. Also this made me think of that Beyonce interview where she talked about this exact thing. I know they really want Twerkulator to chart (and I hope it does because I can see them really pushing for it), they even posted charts on how to stream and hosting a streaming party (fans usually create and share that) etc. You usually don’t see many artists do this (I remember Bieber…
Maybe they’ll start a trend of putting their fans in check, since they are the only ones doing it. I would love to see Beyonce, Nicki and maybe even Cardi do the same since with their fans as I haven’t heard of them doing it before. Shidd we all know how these fan bases can be. Yaya do you remember when the Bey hive stalked and harassed keri Hilson? I think they threw something at her if I’m not mistaken. Yes. JT might be on to something 😉
