You’d never know Internet music phenom, Sandi Thom, was about to release a new album, would you? Over the last few weeks, there’s been a trickle of pathetic news stories about what a rocker she is and how ‘wasted’ she’s been since she became famous.
Blah blah blah.
I’ve made no secret of it before, but I hate it when musicians resort to making dumb statements to stay in the public eye. Especially when they have something to sell.
Sandi obviously can’t just come out and say, “I’ve got a new album coming out.” That’s too bloody direct, isn’t it? So, we’ve got to listen to some twee nonsense about how she “partied too hard”. I don’t get it. Am I supposed to feel sorry for her because she had a few hangovers? Should I offer her advice on staying sober?
I’ll tell you what would be newsworthy Sandi. Tell me how you’re fresh and relevant now that your self-publishing is old news? Tell me how you plan to follow up your one hit single and mediocre second single? Tell me why I should be listening to your music.
Because, frankly, if you’re resorting to ‘party animal’ stories at this stage of your career, you’ll be pulling Jordan-style nipple-slips at the album release. “Oops, damn this low-cut top. Did you get a good shot, Mr Paparazzi?”
Rant over. I await your new songs with baited breath.
