"Unbeautiful" blew me away.

It's so powerful and epic.

I absolutely love the chorus. It is exactly the song that would have saved Kelly Clarkson's career.

What a hymn. Lesley's voice is incredible.

She is the next superstar!

Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: hits on November 26, 2007, 12:30:22 AM
Am I the only who thinks that "Psycho b*tch" is her strongest song? They should release it as a single. It'd be a great way for the label to market her as a Pink/Avril equivalent. And then 2nd single "Unbeautiful". That'd be perfect.
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: turnaround on November 26, 2007, 01:51:01 PM
Hey hits, great to see you again :)

My ranking of the 4 songs is:

Unbeautiful
Slow Goodbye
Psycho b*tch
Here for you now

I guess "Psycho b*tch" is too rough and rocky for the radios.

Unbeatiful would be my first choice to introduce her as a new artist.
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: hits on November 26, 2007, 04:50:36 PM
But that's the whole point...

"Psycho b*tch" is different to pretty much every single most other female pop artist release. It'd help the label establish Lesley as a "real" rock artist, kinda what Avril Lavigne tried to fake when she released her first album.

But Lesley said that "Unbeautiful", "Here for You Now" and "Slow Goodbye" will be the singles. So, I guess the song wont make it.

Btw, the album will come out in January and is gonna be called "Silently Screaming".
If you want to hear the songs in better quality, check http://lesleyroymusic.com (Sounds much better than the shitty quality on MySpace).

Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Rebecca on November 27, 2007, 11:57:47 AM
Hi Hits, I agree, Psycho b*tch should be the first single and Unbeautiful would be great as a 2nd single.

Even if Unbeautiful is the first single, I'd be happy.

So a January release? great, it seems like we've been waiting for so long.

Whoa, Lesley heard me.... Psycho b*tch will be first single!
No January release though, as the label initially announced on their website.

Quotehey everybody, getting close now to some kind of single release!
Played a couple of gigs in New York in the living room, was absolutely great to get back on the stage again!!! Will post some pics a.s.a.p

So i've got one more song to record in L.A next week and I close this album, woooohooooooo!!! get ready for the tour. Will be shooting vid for psycho b*tch so keep your eyes out for that and let me know what you think.

Single should be out Feb 08' and the album will follow around Aprill/May.
Anyway I'll be posting blogs every week to keep anybody thats interested updated on all this madness.

Much love,

Lesley put up a new bio text. It says "Slow Goodbye" was co-written by Max and Dr.Luke.

I also found this "Bowling For Soup" on which she sang.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4AMuGi3uNho
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: turnaround on November 28, 2007, 12:32:45 AM
Thanks hits!

I really hope the Jörgen songs for her will soon be online!

QuoteFrom there, I left L.A and began working with Max Martin, who later became the executive producer for the whole album. I had one day of writing with Max in Stockholm and on that day we wrote our first song together "Here For You Now" which you can listen to on this page. Afterwards we spent much more time together writing and becoming great friends. We wrote 6 songs together.

I've had some amazing experiences traveling around and working with such accomplished writers including DR. Luke (whom I wrote "Slow Goodbye" with along with Max Martin), nordhanson (writing/production group in Stockholm), Mitch Allen, Dave Hodges, Kara Dioguardi, Desmond Child, Andreas Carlson, Greg Wells, Katy Perry, Diane Warren, EMan, and Lindi Roberts. Unfortunately, not all the songs I wrote with these people have made it to the album but I have had the best time of my life working with these people.

Such big names.

This is a song and not katy perry's music!!|!!

Leslie the best!!!!!! :D
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Alex Martin on April 17, 2008, 06:40:56 PM
opsssss........2 new songs.....I'm gone I'm going and the ballad THINKING OUT LOUD!!!!
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: turnaround on April 17, 2008, 08:28:25 PM
Oh finally there's a cover and proper artwork.

"I'm gone I'm going" is the song Kelly Clarkson would probably kill for right now. Very much "Breakaway"-ish. Strong production by Max.

"Thinking out loud" (Max/Leslesy) was obviously used in "The Hills". It shows Lesley's extraordinary voice. Not revolutionary but endearing.

I want to hear the Jörgen songs now, but I fear they didn't make the album.  >:(
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Rebecca on April 18, 2008, 01:08:27 PM
I heard somewhere "I'm Going I'm Gone" will be Lesley's first single.

Who know when that will be.

I hope at least one Jorgen Elofsson ends up on her album.
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Out on April 18, 2008, 05:12:54 PM
Both songs are great, I'm sure the album is going to be masterpiece. I wish Kelly would release something as powerful :(
"Thinking out loud" sounds very Daughtry by the way :)

Finally, Lesley's "I'm Gone, I'm Going" is released to radio - at least in the US.

it said her album is released in the fall, so not tooo far away.

Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: turnaround on June 03, 2008, 09:57:30 PM
By the way, "I'm gone, I'm going" is out on I-tunes in the US.

Surprisingly Max wasn't involved as a writer, the song is by Alexander Kronlund, Lesley Roy and J Shuster.

Anyone knows if the songs does well? I feel it's bubbling under, which would be a shame.

It's so strong and catchy.
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Rebecca on June 03, 2008, 10:33:50 PM
I'll be so upset if it doesn't do well! it's great to see Alexander Kronlund in the writing credits!

I don't really know how it's going, but I get these emails about the top songs played on radio in US and at the top there is sometimes a banner advertising Lesley's song and it says "Produced by Max Martin" which is exciting. Anyway, it hasn't hit the top 50 yet in radio plays (though Katy Perry's is doing really well) but hopefully it will slowly grab people and do well. It really deserves to do well.
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Alex Martin on July 01, 2008, 01:11:32 PM
On www.maratone.se the credits for the song I'm GONE I'M GOING are:LESLEY ROY

Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: turnaround on July 01, 2008, 01:16:08 PM
Yes, that surprised me.

I really thought Max should be included in the songwriting, the melody is so him.

Good to know he is. Hope this will be another big hit.
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Rebecca on July 01, 2008, 01:21:09 PM
Yeah, I just received a copy of "I'm Gone, I'm Going" - I bought a promo single on Ebay and it also has Max is the songwriting credits. That is bad of itunes to get the songwriting credits wrong. annoying.
Very glad Max is one of the songwriters on that song!

What annoys me most with the whole Lesley Roy project, is that it's so hard to follow where something is when released and what is the plan.

I think so far it's only a radio and digital release in the US.

Reb, did you buy a promo-cd or was it properly released?
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Raul_esp on July 01, 2008, 02:40:18 PM

Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Rebecca on July 01, 2008, 02:52:30 PM
Yes, it was just a promo cd! it has the proper artwork though, but it just has the one song, no b-side. I bought it on Ebay
It even has a sticker on it from Zomba/Jive with 2 women's email from songbmg and phone number to contact re licensing.
I have no idea when it will be released. I hope soon, I suppose they're waiting to see how it goes on radio. yes, i agree, it's very annoying that we don't know this.

Thanks. It's nice she is getting along with Max so well, there's a friendship between them now even.

She comes across so down to earth, humble and absolutely passionate.

Well done Jive for signing her, please don't let us down.

I think it's a mistake to start the promotion in the US.

I still think Kelly Clarkson would kill for "I'm gone, I'm going"..

Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Tiiger on July 02, 2008, 05:47:16 PM
So far I've heard six tracks from Lesley:
Here for You Now (Max Martin, Lesley Roy)
I'm Gone, I'm Going (Max Martin, Alexander Kronlund, Johan Schuster, Lesley Roy)
Psycho b*tch (Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Lesley Roy)
Slow Goodbye (Max Martin?, Gottwald, Lesley?)
Thinking Out Loud (Max Martin, Lesley Roy)
Unbeautiful (Max Martin, Rami, Lesley Roy)


All are AMAZING!
I'm usually not into rockchicks like Kelly and Avril, but Lesley is great.  :D
Title: Re: Lesley Roy

no, I don't like Paramore either. I don't like Misery Business at all.

maybe "I'm Gone I'm Going" is not really Max-ish but it is Max-ish enough for me and still very catchy to me.

Btw, "Slow Goodbye" was co-written with Katy Perry:

QuoteBW: You also worked with Katy Perry on this album!

LR: I did indeed! I worked with Katy on a song called "Slow Goodbye." We had great fun. She's a great writer, great girl. We get along great together. Her album's doing amazingly right now. I'm so proud of her!

I'm Gone I'm Going is not one of my fave songs, i kind of like it, maybe it has to grow on me... Do you know what other producers have been confirmed for her album? Did you learn about news songs since that list?

Here for You Now (Max Martin, Lesley Roy)
I'm Gone, I'm Going (Max Martin, Alexander Kronlund, Johan Schuster, Lesley Roy)
Psycho b*tch (Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Lesley Roy)
Slow Goodbye (Max Martin?, Gottwald, Lesley?)
Thinking Out Loud (Max Martin, Lesley Roy)
Unbeautiful (Max Martin, Rami, Lesley Roy)

Hey Sabine, I agree, I'm Gone, I'm Going is not one I'd listen to often either. It is catchy but definitely not the strongest song on her myspace page. Unbeautiful is FANTASTIC.

The album cover:

I heard "IGIG" in the radio last week, it was well cool.

Hey Phil, thanks for this information and welcome to the board.

This looks accurate.

I found another credit:

Come To Your Senses (DioGuardi/Lesley Roy/Greg Wells)
Make it back (Lesley Roy/David Hodges/Mitchal Allan Scherr)

So I think we only don't know

Dead but breathing
Misfit
Crushed


But no Jörgen Elofsson as prediced.   >:(

Well I've just listened to the album three times on repeat and I have to say I love it. I'd only listened the the myspace tracks once as I didn't want to spoil it so it still felt new and fresh. Of course I love the Max tracks best, they really are amazing, but I love the whole album - there's not a track I don't like and although I was unsure if I liked Lesley's voice originally I now really love it.

I really hope this is huge but have a feeling that poor promotion will stop this album getting the recognition it deserves!
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: *Sabine* on September 17, 2008, 09:34:24 AM

Since you have the album, could you tell us the credits of every songs please? Thx

Post by: Raul_esp on September 17, 2008, 02:19:57 PM
I have heard all the songs of the album and the album is amazing!!! , the best in 2008 , the best tracks for me :

3-Hear for you now(max martin)
4-psycho b*tch(max martin)
5-slow goodbye(max martin)

I think these are the max martin tracks

Post by: *Sabine* on September 17, 2008, 04:26:20 PM
Wow 6 Max tracks!!! Must be a real HQ album i'm impressed! i'll comment on it later once i've heard it...
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Rebecca on September 18, 2008, 12:48:19 PM
wow, 6 tracks is great.

I'm very worried that there is not enough promotion for Lesley.
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: *Sabine* on September 18, 2008, 02:18:31 PM
Really, there'll be no promotion? If not, she'll really be a 'spoilt' talent!  :-[  
Well, i listened to the album yesterday and without knowing what songs were Max's tracks.
My favourite song from Max is obviously unbeautiful, then i'm gone i'm going and also i like slow goodbye a lot. I don't like so much the other Max songs and I also think Psycho b*tch is really average... just not my taste maybe. Or is it Lesley's voice? I recognize she sings really well and has a lot of talent but i don't like so much how she sounds.
Curiously, for me the best song on the album is not by Max: when i look at you. This is song is just wow!

I hear you. It seems like the single hasn't made any impact at all, no one is talking about Lesley anywhere but here.  :-\
She should have started out in Europe first before America, which is a very hard market to crack in the first place.

If nothing comes out of this it's a waste of Lesley's talent and Max's songs...
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: Rebecca on September 18, 2008, 10:47:26 PM
Yes, big mistake to start Lesley in America! it's usually impossible for non-Americans to make it there. yeah, should have started in Ireland then Europe then America.
oh well.

Sorry Sabine I can't give you the full album credits as I don't actually have a copy of it yet, it is just a download for the moment. The album is really amazing though and I will of course be heading out to pick up my copy when it is released.

My favourite tracks are the 6 Max tracks (if that is all there is) as well as Dead But Breathing which is such a beautiful ballad with amazing strings on it - it gives me goosebumps! and When I Look At You which is another good rocker and has a bit of the Max sound to it as well (but I don't think it's him is it?). All in all after having it on repeat all day the best word I can use to describe this album is 'epic'. I love it!!! Well done Lesley and well done Max! ;D
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: *Sabine* on September 19, 2008, 09:23:04 AM
That's ok Markus, i'll wait to get the physical album to see the credits. When I Look at you sounds so much Maratonish! I bet it's by Max, let's see later! ;)
Title: Re: Lesley Roy
Post by: turnaround on September 20, 2008, 08:36:41 PM
It's annoying.

They waited way too long to launch her career, and now she was drowned by the hype of Katy Perry (which is well deserved for Katy of course).

She should leave the US and try Europe, she has a worldclass album with the best songwriters of the world.

Oh and "Psycho b*tch" would have been the better first single.


I must know who wrote "Dead but breathing", it is overwhelmingly amazing.  :o

Contestant for my song of the year..

Have we heard anything about a second single from Lesley. I'm currently listening to the awesome Jason Nevins remix of Unbeautiful on repeat (it's been at least 50 plays so far lol!) and am really hoping they are going to release this as a single (the album version) and continue to promote Lesley. This album deserves more attention.

Edit: just found it on youtube...

Thanks for the remix, it's ok. Anyways I usually don't liek the remixes, it destroys the production IMO, and the production is usually the aspect I love the most in the song. For example, I really hate Overprotected Darkchild remix.
