[2013-03-25] Album "5"

[Un-rêve]

Welcome to Planet Alizée.. we've had these kinda rumours before but now it's getting highly obnoxious.. everytime it's this could be her last album!!!

Well I don't believe it and I don"t wanna believe the "downloadable only" album card being played here either.

The collectors box is coming anyway.. and that's because Alizée knows what we want and I'm happy for that because at the end of the day she had it made especially for us/her true fans.

Especially when there are artists like Rihanna with a new album every 2 months.

I think another thing is that with all this faffing about i've almost got to the point of not caring anymore?
I'd imagine i'm not the only one?

That's the impression I have. I'm waiting patiently for mine.

But I also hope to be able to buy a CD by itself to support the cause. I never was able to find ACDA available to purchase for download due to it not being available in my country. I know there are ways around that, but to me it not being available like that limits the ability of Alizée to expand the fan base. Sony France and Jive-Epic tweet daily about US artists to the French so international promotion is possible, but they want to prevent her exposure to the US. Yeah, yeah, the performance rights business and all that, I get it but it can't be that expensive. I'm just whippin' on a dead horse. I was so thankful that the ACDA download was included with the collectors box purchase so I could have it.

I don't worry about the rumors. The thing that bothers me is that it fires the social media users who then start leaning on Alizée for answers. I want to tell them they'll get the album when they get it, but I don't have any followers

Here are some more gems I dug up from the AAm translation archives from 4 years ago.

Alizée - ….Maybe later, if I am still doing this job.

Interviewer - Why, do you think you want to stop?

Alizée - The future of the record industry is worrying. But I am still hanging on.

Interviewer - Aren't you afraid that the usage of mp3 players supports illegal downloads?

Alizée - No, mp3 players are not at the source of piracy, its the price of progress and the Internet... we can't do anything about it, we made a lot of laws, it was a battle lost before it begun, unless we go back to vinyl records. I think we should prepare for the death of the CD.

[Merci Alizée]

Apparently they expressed desire to compose music for her? Can't watch the video now.

Well who exactly are they and are they talking about composing music for her for her album with Sony or are they talking about composing music for her for another album, if her album with Sony is a thing of the past?

It's hard to say what this means but at first glance it looks like some of her compatriots in the music industry are stepping up to the plate for her. Is there some way we can do the same?

[Merci Alizée]

Chers tous,

Pour mettre fin aux diverses rumeurs circulant actuellement sur la toile sachez que l’album d’Alizée va bien sortir au premier trimestre 2013. L’album, initialement prévu en octobre, a été repoussé pour finir l’enregistrement, la date précise sera communiquée très prochainement.

En raison de ces nouveaux délais, le single
"A cause de l’automne" n’a pas encore été envoyé aux radios : c’est donc pour cela que vous ne l’entendez pas sur les ondes !

Le clip officiel sera tourné début novembre, restez à l’affût car nous vous donnerons plus d’infos très vite.
A suivre donc...

Merci encore de votre soutien et de votre patience.
L’équipe d’Alizée

Some assurance. First quarter.

At least some news from the top at Sony. This should kill a few of the rumors.

Yup, I just read the newsletter. It is reassuring, however the first quarter of 2013 could be 3/4+ months
