I find this release pointless (except as quick cash in) for many reasons. Most of them have already ben mentioned ( harldy any new material, not even new versions), but also from a a marketing point of vue.
I don't think You & me will appear on the next album, losing out an opportunity to build some buzz for the next studio album that will probably be released sometime next winter. Releasing an album right off the bat doesn't work, PQ's performance has been poor across any media (downloads, physical sales) even taking into account that she's on adeclining trend.
I suppose she's going to use the upcoming xilia song to promote the entire upcoming album with no other tracks seeing the light of day outside of concerts. I'm not even sure how that'll turn out as it'll have less of a buzz than five, which at least had the colabs to (and more tie ins than PQ if I'm not mistaken).
It seems like there's no long term or even short term perspective in terms of marketing for her career right now, just one release after another. As much as it's music that matters, it's like she' missing out for no other reason than messy releases and lack of coherence.
I also think releasing a more a sides will probably do more good for the music as well than bad (IMO) as the sigles are usually more elaborate than the album tracks.
Personally I wont buy this release simply because I already have most everything on it. I love all the songs on it though. ^_^
