Dude was like "Hey Billie, any new music coming out?" And Billie was like "Ya dude definitely ditching our label after this next record coming out on this exact dude. Dude, want to hear about all our future music release plans?" Don’t laugh but he actually does this. The Longshot project was first leaked to a fan outside the bathrooms at a Coverups show. He told her he was doing a side project and album and asked her to keep it quiet. He really does this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We first talked about an astrology app the he and Adrianne were using. We came from south Texas to CA for one show in the middle of the desert, he was pretty excited about that. Maybe that played into it. We also talked about when he was in my home town in 1992. Ok, this is just getting weird now. Holy fk, I don't know why it would disappoint me so much that Billie would use such a thing as an astrology app, but damn it does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just having this incredible surreal moment Tbh having the bravery to put a face to your prediction makes me lean towards believing you. I find the gap between Sept and Feb odd and why he would tell you all that odd, but you never know. I also find it odd that it contradicts everything we've heard so far. Maybe plans changed since June? Yeah the date being far away sucks, but what you claim he said doesn't sound unrealistic and it's exciting that they want to put out more music more quickly.

MillenniumFan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Even if it isn't true, it should calm down at least some of the "it's coming in July/August/September" trolls. So for that alone, I thank you for your input @TJChrobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think they are hostage to Warner’s release schedule right now. And a Sep-Feb makes sense if they do what I’ve seen other bands do and release a song a month Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan and then the album in Feb. I hate that because you hear half of it out of order by then but for streaming it’s what artists do these days. It may also be why they added more songs to accommodate this release protocol. They may not like it either because they are old school and favor albums so it might be why Billie said, after this we’re done with Warner and can release music our way. It all makes sense.

DookieLukie Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 This is all so confusing. Too many cooks in the kitchen. On one hand, I have a tremendous amount of respect for LaughingClock and Matt, who both seem to indicate a summer single and fall release. But TJChrobo sounds truthful, which really contradicts all of the other insiders. Maybe things changed since early June. Maybe Billie didn't really know what he was talking about (which is fairly common). Maybe the record company had different plans for this album. I'd also find it sort of odd to finish a record in March/April and not release it for almost 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still strange because I believe the most they've waited to release the album after the first single was like 1-2 months. Again if that's what he did say I just assume it is an estimate. I would guess from prior patterns single early September and album late October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other artists release singles 5 months before the album? Also didn't another random account of here say a February release? Anyone remember that?

Christian's Inferno! Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Looking at Sum 41 and Blink 182's recent singles and upcoming albums, a Sep-Feb gap doesn't seem that far fetched Sum 41 released their lead single on April 24th and their album is released on the 19th of July (3 month gap) Blink 182's lead single was released on May 8th (over 2 months ago) and their upcoming album still doesn't have a release date or title Uno Dos Tré was announced in April of 2012, Oh Love released in July and then Uno was released in September. I know that was different but I think the September - February gap is a possibility EDIT: Another example: Weezer released their lead single to the White album in October of 2015 and the album wasn't released until April of 2016. Pacific Daydream and Black album also had lengthy gaps between lead singles and album releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Ok, so a few things @TJChrobo: Did Billie at all mention Butch Walker in your interaction? And also, did he give any indication as to why the gap should be so long between the first single and the album? Could the single in SEP maybe be unrelated to the album?

Ok so I brought up Green Day as the conversation dwindled and he mentioned something happening in September. I said some like “oh yeah you have had other albums come out in September.” He said “no just a single in September, then an album in February, and of course a tour to follow.” This is just the jist, not exact quotes. No mention of Butch Walker. I suppose the single could be unrelated to the album, but that wasn’t indicated in any way. 5 minutes ago, PursuitOfEpicness said: The 1975, swmrs, Vampire Weekend, Billie Eilish...

I just didn't think it would be in GD fashion I don’t think it is I can almost guarantee they don’t like it but don’t have a choice. That’s why Billie hinted that they are almost done with Warners and will then be out and free to do things their way. They have the resources now and at nearly 50 they don’t want to see 4 year gaps between releases. They have a lot of music they want to make and they keep promising more but are hamstrung by their label at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
