The Jive document mainly outlines the label’s promotional strategy for the record, which will be released as a standard disc as well as a deluxe version with additional tracks and artwork. The label intends to launch the album with a “major TV event” and is devising a “LGBT/lifestyle campaign” to promote the set, though the details of both plans are unclear.
