LaToya's NoRelations fan website

The NoRelations website is surely one of the best fansites for LaToya and look what I found on the site:

August 25th, 2004: New info about single!

We wrote an e-mail to LaToya's management requesting some info about the new single, and inquiring about whether or not LaToya's singles will be available for purchase. Below is the response we received:

All of La Toya's singles will be available for purchase, first we're dropping the second single to clubs and dance radio and then we're going to release the "Startin' Over" album, after the album has been released to the general public, then the single will be for sale commercially. Right now, since La Toya has been away for a while we're just testing the market. Thank you for your love and support and you're going to LOVE the album. <br>

Isn't it a bit odd to release the album before the single?

[James]

Nope! Lots of artists do it (ie Beyonce). They promote the single but release the album before so people pick my the album as the singles isn't released.

I don't know. But it seems that they do have a strategy at least.

Personally I would have never believed that any of her songs would crack the Billboard Dance Charts TOP 15, so that's a great success anyway. And I know she'll get a LOT of media attention whether she cracks the Billboard charts or not and I've always been a huge LaToya fan, no matter how successful she was.

I am looking forward to the Hawaii video today, which will be posted in the Special Friends Section.

I think it's normal in America, they have radio singles mostly. A commercial Maxi single usually just has remixes and edits of those mixes.
