Ok, I have had time to think about it. After devouring Room Noises I have come to the conclusion that "My Lovely" should be the song to introduce Eisley to the world if "Telescope Eyes" does not do the trick.

There ya go. There's my nickel's worth of advice. If you want more, we can negotiate a price. Wink Very Happy

Well, I seriously thought "Golly Sandra" was going to be my choice because that was the song I always liked in concert before Room Noises came out. But I think "My Lovely" has all the elements of a strong Eisley song. It's catchy. It has the signature harmonies. It's not run of the mill but not too left of center. It's not too mellow. It's not too quirky for today's audience. "Golly Sandra" has a strong country-ish feel with the pedal steel which may be taboo to some pop radio formats. It also has a lot of cluttery vocal parts in the verses. Strong song, but I think "My Lovely" should preceed it when it comes to spending promotional dollars.

"Plenty Of Paper" and "One Day I Slowly Floated Away" would be my choices for the next single

My Lovely is a good song, but it's not the strongest song on the album, if you ask me.

I agree with Plenty of Paper or One Day I Slowly Floated Away. I had my choir class listening to ODISFA and around 90% of the class loved it.

I thought "Golly Sandra" would be the best choice. It sounds kinda country-ish, true, but a lot of country-inflected stuff has crossed over recently. It's more immediately catchy than some of the others.

Though I love the whole album...they could pick any song and I'd be thrilled.

I personally don't care what the next single will be. I love every song. Every song on that dang album could wind up being a single.

.... and I prefer to do the robot to trolley wood....
