The first actor onstage isn’t always the lead.
Many albums work like this.Jessie Wares What’s Your Pleasure has three singles released before Spotlight led the album campaign.
American Pie and Live To Tell are both examples of her own career where a soundtrack song with a new found producer collaborator serve as a taster for the album and set the tone for what’s to come in some way.
Exactly! Good point. I guess a slight difference with American Pie as it was truly a bonus track and always billed as so, like Into The Groove in Europe. But yes, Live To Tell is a great example also.
