First of all, I want to thank everyone who offered to listen to my demos and rank them! It’s been very helpful when choosing what songs to make music videos for, track listing, how to improve the songs, and so on!
Out of the 50 ranked lists I’ve collected, every single song has been both in some people’s top 3’s, and other people’s bottom 3’s. I don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing, but it certainly makes it harder to cut any of them from the album!
So in the end, I have decided that this album will have 17 songs! Something for everyone.
Number of times featured in people’s top 3:
16 – Who I Am (6 girls, 10 guys)
15 – Rebirth (10 girls, 5 guys)
13 – A Second Chance (8 girls, 5 guys)
12 – Unraveled Lies (4 girls, 8 guys)
10 – Utopia (9 girls, 1 guy)
10 – Have a Bite (4 girls, 6 guys)
9 – Guide Me (7 girls, 2 guys)
9 – When We Dance (3 girls, 6 guys)
8 – Two Hearts (7 girls, 1 guy)
8 – How it Was (6 girls, 2 guys)
8 – Feeling Low (4 girls, 4 guys)
6 – Chemistry (4 girls, 2 guys)
6 – Rainbow Machine (2 girls, 4 guys)
5 – Livet på Havet (2 girls, 3 guys)
5 – The Keepers of the Sky (0 girls, 5 guys)
5 – In Disguise (5 girls, 0 guys)
4 – Reversed (2 girls, 2 guys)
1 – Away We Go (1 girl, 0 guys)
I had planned to make music videos for A Second Chance, Unraveled Lies, Utopia and Have a Bite, so I’m very glad that these are all proven to be among the favorites. :) There is already an animated video being worked on for The Keepers of the Sky, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy that one much more when it’s connected to an awesome video that shows the story!
Out of the 18 songs (well originally I made 30 songs, but I filtered them down to 18 before making this survey), I’m only cutting one of the songs, and it’s the Swedish one, Livet på Havet. For those who love it, I’m sorry! But it was also at the bottom of almost half the lists, so if I had to cut ONE song, this was the one. (I want to add that even if Away We Go was only featured once in a top 3, it’s in 10 people’s top 5, which means 20% of all lists! Can’t cut that.)
If all goes well, I’ll start posting videos in late november, and continue with one video per week, leading up to the release.
Now it’s time to start working on a Disney Medley…
Stay tuned! :)
Hey:))! Glad that you’re going to put 17 songs in your album(at least not only 15).
And I hope that your upcoming disney melody would promote your new album, because your new songs are great, and many people as possible must listen to it! And I think you kinda succeeded to make it accessible than your old songs as my friends really liked it. :D
Hey Doa, thank you! :) And hehe, I hope so too…
can you make the Swedish available for free? please… it was fun to hear and sing along.
Sachin: I’ll probably release/post it in some shape or form some day. :D
Yehey! Please include Once Upon A Dream from Sleeping Beauty or Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast. Those are my favorites. Thanks!
Mark: They’re both on my list! :)
