 I learned my lesson from the UEDS Special edition. The shipping all the way from Europe is not cheap.

Yep, a single is basically a song the artist releases for play on radio. The only way singles matter to us Americans, there are two reasons: 1- for those who buy them (very few I imagine), there will be the single released on a disc with maybe remixes and instrumentals; 2- there will most likely be a music video. Since she isn't on U.S. radio, so we have no chance of hearing her songs, new single or old. But I had intially hoped, with my first listening of this album, that FG would be the next single. Most of the other songs don't seem like they would be appropriate on the radio, good as they are, but they are just not radio songs. Well, EE might, but certainly NOT UFD, ACF, LL, or GC. Also, how often do you actually see singles for purchase? They are not in any music shop I have ever been in, which is practically every one in central VA. As for La Candida being too short, it is barely any shorter than the radio edit of MJ. She wouldn't be hurting her career by releasng this as a single, since her largest fanbase is Mexican anyways. And France is far more accepting of foreign languages than America is. It would defnitely give her a unique edge.

Yeah it's the music video that's got me excited about the next single. The Les Collines MV was artistic brilliance! Low-budget but a million times better than the $10,000 trash most mainstream pop artists are putting out these days. As far as buying singles goes, the only time I ever buy individual songs is when I love the song too much to wait for the album to come out, so I buy it on iTunes while I'm waiting for the CD of the album to become available.

Does anyone think the gamble of releasing La Candida as the next single would pay off? It would, in theory, be a way of fully capitalising on the Mexican market, but a Spanish single would risk completely losing all the remaining fans she has left in France.
Once the album is released, depending on it's early success, several more singles are released. These are popular songs on the album that are sold as a means of promoting the album it is from, which is on sale simultaneously.

But as far as I see it, she has every reason to release another single because one of the reasons the album might not be doing so well is through a lack of promotion. Indeed most of the French reviews of UEDS I've read praise it greatly, so this suggests that the comparative lack of sales isn't to do with the quality of the music. Maybe another single would be a good way to continue promoting it, especially if it came with some TV performances. If she did choose La Candida, I think she'd have to go all the way with Mexican promotion (ie Mexican visit/TV interviews/performances) in order to fully gain the possible benefits of a Spanish single.

La Candida wouldn't be too surprising. NLY was half English. I think the French public ís far more accepting of foreign music than America. Problem is, LC is FAR too short. It has absolutely no bridge. It barely passes the two minute mark. I don't think that would affect it too much, but for me, that is a bigger problem that it being Spanish.
