What exactly what she promoting? Not anything from her upcoming album. She was just staying relevant in the public eye like I mentioned earlier.

Singles and music videos are promoting in the public eye because people can see and hear them.

Don't you realize that is what marketing is???

That is not separate.

Just because she was not promoting music specifically does not change the fact that she was promoting her "brand" to prep for the release of her album.

She also leaked two songs that received bad reviews.

Bowie did not do that

Releasing two official singles before the album is different from leaking two songs how?

Her team leaked those songs to determine the strength of the singles. When they both received poor reviews, her team came up with the idea to release her entire album all at once with flashy videos because the songs were not strong enough as singles.

This is different from Bowie because Bowie did not leak any of his songs. He just released his singles out of the blue the regular way.

If you liked it, you liked it... if you didn't, you didnt.

He didn't care.

He didnt leak songs to test the strength of the song.
