I am really enjoying Velvet. I agree with the reviewers that say this is his best work yet. On his other albums there were always songs I skipped (Soaked, BTIKM, OH) but this one I love to listen to the whole album. It seems cohesive and the songs just flow from one to another. Well done, Adam!

Thanks to all for the info about how to stream so it really counts. It's the most important thing we can do.
Hope Velvet sustains for quite a while! Its success is proof that Adam can go indie and make it work.

This is where it's a bit of an disadvantage that Adam doesnt play an Instrument by himself.

He could do a capella and i would be be ecstatic tbh... on this subject I watched an IG concert from home last night by JUANES, with one guitarist (at a safe distance)... it was for the benefit of Global Citizen and the World Health Org... it was fabulous and totally informal, with requests from the audience and even a couple of duets with the IG viewers... over 10 Million watched!

I don't really need Adam to do a live stream concert right now. Whatever he wants to give us on IG is fine with me. And he is also trying to do some promotion from home. If he decides he wants to do something at some point that is fine too. But no demands or expectations in these trying times for him and everyone else. I can wait a few months until this nightmare is (hopefully) over. Can't wait to hear him perform more from Velvet live. I have been enjoying his concert performances from youtube on my tv and it has been absolutely wonderful.

Please, need to know what type of streaming counts on Spotify!! Pi says we need to play each official video separately. I been playing the album in a loop, also just started using a playlist. What way is going to count??? Pi was talking about youtube music videos - they won't count playlists or repeats, so it's best to view each video individually On Spotify, you can repeat the same song over and over again or use playlists, and they will count each listen (I think you need to listen to at least 30 seconds of a song for it to count)
For Youtube counts, it is best to go back to page1 and check out the compilation of Adam/Velvet articles that pi posted. Go down the list by clicking on each article and then click on the embedded music video and play it. That shows real interest by a human. "Like" if you haven't yet, and comment if you can, and share if you like!! All that counts in terms of making the biggest impact on Youtube!! Spotify.... let's be aware that streaming until Thursday is extremely important!!! From what I am gathering any kind of streaming as long as it is "Velvet" related is good!!!! I am focusing on streaming the whole album until we hear about a new single.

Of course no demands or expectations! Just wishes...
i don’t think we are talking a couple of months ...we’ll be lucky if people go back to work in a couple of months but concerts are probably really far in the future...hope I am wrong of course... but first we all need to survive ...sorry for my “view of the world” from NYC

I'm totally ok with what he is doing. Handling it beautifully IMO and setting a good example for everyone. Glad Terrance is there so he's not by himself. On another note just got an email from Amazon, my cds have shipped! Got the ones from Target yesterday!💜

That's me in a nutshell right now lol. My fridge is full, thank goodness...I'm expecting to have gained about 30 pounds in the next couple of months. Thinking of New York, no need to be sorry... I think we need a hugging emoji right now...everybody needs a hug at the moment.
