The video is AMAZING.

The song is... okay. I'll see if it grows.

It's very Meghan Trainor second era isn't it?


This is the perfect description of it for sure.

I can't help but feel like this is a very odd choice of lead single. The video almost makes it work and I can almost see what she was attempting but it ends up feeling very limp and lacking in any kind of memorable hook.

I don't hate it and it may grow on me but I think she is above this.

I honestly don't get the "Meghan Trainor era 2" comparisons at all lmao ����. These lyrics, although hardly ivor novello worthy, are 1000x more mature and far better. I just think it's a bit of a lazy comparison tbh. Meghan didn't invent the doo wop pop sound lmao. (Which this is barely even that tbh)

Also this is majorly growing on me too.

It's not her second era it's her first though, that had that sound. I think I get what Sean means though, this is like a step up from that sound so it's kind of what the follow-up to Title would have been had she not changed it up. It's not terrible because I enjoyed Title but I'm just not finding myself going back to it a lot.

I did admittedly feel a little bit disappointed in the chorus so I think it's like Taylors track where the chorus took time to grow on people whereas initially it wasn't as instant?

Her voice on this is so flawless as always so I think that's really what swooped in my first post about it really (& the OMG Kellys back, slay etc lol)

I'm just happy we got Pink & Kelly back at basically the same time tbh!

I really like this! It is very Meghan Trainor but that's no bad thing imo. I loved Meghan's second era.

Meghan certainly didn't invent the sound but shes the only comparison I could think of!

Having that said, this is finally (but slowly) starting to click with me. It's the bits when it slows down just before the chorus that I am enjoying wub.gif

Leads mini singles rate:

Amazing, listen to regularly
Miss Independent
Since U Been Gone
Mr Know It All
Catch My Breath

Great
Never Again
My Life Would Suck Without You

Acceptable
Love So Soft
Heartbeat Song

Hardly listen to/meh
Underneath The Tree (even at Christmas time I hardly listen to this and often forget about it as I always go back to Wrapped In Red)

As do I which is why I don't really listen to Underneath The Tree. Maybe it's because it's a semi romantic song and I'm single af? laugh.gif

Absolutely screaming that "Piece by Piece" is outselling this by almost 10x on iTunes - such a shame that she's overshadowing her own comeback laugh.gif sad.gif Although that is a tune and deserves a much better peak than #90 or whatever it got.

This has finally hit me, I couldn't leave Kelly out in the cold for too long laugh.gif It's still one of her weakest leads for me but I love them all so it's not a damnation. SUBG, My Life and Never Again are all in my top 40 of all time (maybe NA just outside). As Sean said, I adore the bit where it slows down for the chorus <3

01 Since U Been Gone (of course an ultimate belt it out ANTHEM)
02 My Life... (such anuplifting pop song)
03 Never Again (SO underrated, I love the rockiness to it but I can see why others don't like it and it wasn't the best single, but then nothing on My December was as perfect as the album is)
--------
04 Mr Know It All (again underrated, it was a nice change of pace and I adore it even if Stronger should have been the lead)
05 Catch My Breath (lovely bop, I love it more than I realise when I listen to it)
06 Miss Independent (a tune)
07 Love So Soft
08 Underneath The Treee (I'm not much of a Christmassy person in the first place so Xmas songs suffer in my rankings but this is deffo a fave Xmas song, lovely little song)
09 Heartbeat Song (a bop but I'd have chosen like 4 or 5 songs as the lead over this, although it did well in the UK so it must be doing something right)

Even HS is a 8.5/10 tho oops

Ahhh. So pleased to see it's grown on you! The slowing down before the chorus actually reminds me a fair bit of Adele - Rumour Has It. But I might be making that up as I haven't listened to that song in a while haha.



SLAYED obviously.

Although THAT note, she said in a video on FB today, that she is saving the note for tour and not gonna attempt it when promoing haha. I think it's due to her having to get up early and her throat not being 100% first thing in the morning (but I believe she'd be able to hit that note whether it's 5am or 5pm laugh.gif)

I guess it's insurance too, if she went for that note all the time she might risk damaging her voice. I know Celine Dion pre-reocrds some of the more difficult notes in
a few songs, it's how she's kept her voice so strong. Obviously they can both hit these notes but it's better to be safe.
