my vote is for LOLITA.
it should have gone before black sweat.

Yeah I go 4 Lolita 2

Love

Lolita...you're sweeta.....

lolita for sure

Love

The Word... Or, dare I say it, Incense and candles! Not my fav, not my cup of tea, but bound to chart well.

I really hope there will be a next single. And if there will be I think Fury or Lolita will be a good choice.

Any1 from:

Lolita
Incense
Love
Fury

Despite my own high opinions of the other tracks, I don't think they would be good single choices.

Fury

Fury and then Incence and candles
Don`t think lolita is gonna be a hit...Although i really like it...

wow...I'm surprised by the lolita vote. No way, not my choice. I think it would sink like a lead balloon.

I think they should stick with Te Amo and Black Sweat for a while, re-introduce Te Amo maybe....good chance as an R&B hit, and black sweat for the Pop market. be nice to have 2 on the charts at once....
then I think maybe fury or the word
but what do I know?

incense and candles will bring him back and exposed to a new gen.

LOLITA would be the smart move, But P will probably go with Incense and Candles, which isnt too bad either. I just think Lolita will catch the average listener. THis should have been the 1st single, than BLack Sweat,,,than again, what the hell do I know.

FURY!!!! It's the only track on 3121 that could potentially be a hit.

Incense And Candles is the single that should go out right now he has younger listeners thanx to Black Sweat Incense and Candles would keep them. What he should do is release 2 songs give the MTV audience Fury or Love or Lolita give the BET audience Incense and Candles that would be the best thing to do.

The Dance! He needs to put out a ballad.

Love, definitely!

"Love" is addictive, and slams. No one could resist this.

It's all about "Love".

I think "Fury", "The Word", and yes, "Lolita" would make good successive singles, but "Love" should be the next 1. "Incense and Candles" would make a good choice, based on it's potential appeal 2 the mainstream R&B "market", but I think it would be a better idea 2 just blow the door open with "Love", which could also appeal 2 the same "market", but in a much more...ah... Princely manner.

Easy,

FURY

This must be a single! I want him to do a live version for the video. An arena filled with crazed fans and him rocking out in all of his purple glory ala SNL!

"Lolita" to the pop masses....Only if he shoots a kick ass video directed by a top notch director with a few fresh-faced celebrity appearances thrown in to make it sizzle...(Beyonce, Rosario Dawson...get it...)

Or


"Fury"...to rock radio....Only if the purple dude overdubs some serious guitar hero shit on the track...Or releases the live version...As is, "Fury" is cool on 3121...I dig it in the context of the synth-heavy album...But the rock heads want to hear that ax dog if it stands as a next single...

I think if Fury ever becomes a single...he should use the SNL performance as the video. period.

Lolita or Fury.

Actually, yeah, any of these could do really well. It's nice to have this many to choose from as possible singles for a change.

In terms of the song with the biggest chart potential, that is easily Incense and Candles. With the right video, that song could get a lot of play. If you look at Musicology, the song that got the most play was Call My Name, which became a staple on Black Adult radio for months. Incense and Candles is a nice follow-up to Black Sweat. I don't think Lolita has mainstream or chart potential at all. The Word is very catchy, but the mainstream potential is not there.

I still think there should be a video for BLB. That would really give Tamar exposure too. Finally, The Dance - again with the right video - also has the potential to chart and get video/radio play.
