As cited with reliable sources in the article, most sources and streaming platforms state that the album was released through Fax Records and Epic Records. However, the UK R&B Albums Chart number ones states that the labels are Since 93/RCA, and so does this aggregate score. Could it be that the album was released to some regions through RCA and some through Epic? Consensus would be helpful and will be used under the release history section. dxneo (talk) 16:02, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dxneo: As per this article, she’s signed to Fax+Epic in the US and then Since93+RCA in the UK. —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 17:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Cybertrip, is it safe to add the information under the release history? And would it be safe to also add it on her other songs? dxneo (talk) 22:35, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dxneo: I honestly don’t think so. Fax/Epic is her main record deal as they represent her here in her home country as well as most other parts of the world. I think Since93/RCA can go in the infobox of Tyla (South African singer) though under the “Label” parameter. —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 09:03, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy, it was released by Atlantic Records but distributed through Warner Music Japan in Japan, see the release history, I think the same should apply here as well. Cybertrip, thank you for helping me and pointing me in the right direction, I'm grateful. dxneo (talk) 15:18, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's highly likely as that has a bunch of famous artists like Skillibeng and Gunna so maybe? It's also been quite popular and getting some love so we'll just have to wait and see. This0k (talk) 19:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This0k, I am actually working on "Jump" since it charted and it is getting more streams by the day, but it's a song that never headlined anything or at least I haven't seen such sources. For now if I try to publish the article it will rely on the album reviews and charts for survival which might not be quite right. Thoughts? dxneo (talk) 20:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made the page. It has reliable citations but is a stub right now. This0k (talk) 22:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello AlNahyan, I noticed you've recently been doing a great job by re-writing content on this article. However, few moments later Cybertrip would come to undo some of the edits and re-write the whole thing again (well at least most of it). I was thinking it would be best to discuss your contributions here before proceeding to removing (cited) content. Thank you. dxneo (talk) 01:43, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh oops. Sorry for undoing your reversion (I didn't see the notification) I feel that a lot of Cybertrip's edits were overly journalistic in nature, which shouldn't really be happening on a Wikipedia article (imo.) But I'm open to hear other people's thoughts on this. AlNahyan (talk) 02:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The song went to Italian radio on 12 April and there is nothing about a 22 March release. 96.43.189.203 (talk) 15:42, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the information you just presented has already been added here. For clarity, the song was primarily released in 22 March 2024 with the album. dxneo (talk) 15:55, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The song was never released though along with the album and it is not even in the release history either. The song was simply given a music video but it is not a single, not until it impacts radio. 96.43.189.203 (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the release history, it was sent to radio in Italy by Sony Music on 12 April 2024. Honestly, I never thought the song was a single when it was released on 22 March with the album, when I created the article it was formatted as song not single then Cybertrip changed it and I don't know why, I then asked him here why he thought "Art" was a single, see his reply. dxneo (talk) 18:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Radio date is safer as it is in the release history whereas the album release date is not. Can we see what @Cybertrip has to say about it? 96.43.189.203 (talk) 15:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@96.43.189.203 and Dxneo: Music journalists called the song a single before it was sent to radio so I just assumed it was, but yes I agree that it is safer to go with the radio date. —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 17:12, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Dxneo: good on you for nominating this article. I'm unfortunately quite busy with academics to help can def give suggestions if you'd like a successful review! On first glance I think it's missing something like a "Music and lyrics" section, and probably needs more info in the "Background and release" and "Commercial performance" sections. Feel free to use the juicy info from the interviews I've linked above, it'll be very useful. Also just to point out a small technical issue: the citations in the "Commercial performance" section are WP:DUPREFs of those in the "Charts" section. Best of luck with the nomination :) —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 06:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Cybertrip, I'm now working on it. Although I do not really think the sources on this talk really helps that, I'm willing to reuse the sources cited in the Critical reception section instead as I think they are more detailed, thoughts on that? I have used references from the Charts section twice because they are template-generated and therefore cannot be reused. Another thing, do I have use audio files also? I've once heard file have to be discussed but I've never came across a discussion of that sort. Please do reach out. dxneo (talk) 09:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
