Love this! Sounds really different, I love the way she sings the pre/post chorus. The extended version is gorgeous!

Anyone else hearing massive ABBA vibes from this?
Way way way stronger than ‘Houdini’ and feels finally like she’s not giving us a Future Nostalgia reject. This manages to keep her signature sound, but also take it to new places too? This feels much fresher. I’m on board. |

This is very Tame Impala does ABBA, absolutely love it! As I expected, Kevin Parker production is really taking her to the next level for me. It feels like she’s doing something so fresh that only she could do rather than jumping on any trend or rehashing what she’s done before.

First listen, I wasn't sold.
Second listen, I see what she's going for. It has good pop instincts. I wonder if the chorus is a bit wordy though... |

It’s cute! I’m gonna need to sit on it a bit longer. Wasn’t as instant to me as Houdini.
I can’t believe an artist actually released two singles from an album before its release! (Ps: where’s the album) |

Love it, absolute bop. But the music video was very underwhelming.

The song is a 10 but music video is such a letdown…I was waiting for something to happen and then nothing happened…that cup of tea was happening I guess!!!

I think the chorus is great/not too wordy, it has a really good pacing. I don't think the gays will be running out of breath singing it unlike Katy Perry's "Never Really Over"

It's a great song! I also got ABBA from the melody/piano. I think it could very well grow on me more and more with each listen too.
Music video... I didn't hate it but it kind of just happens, I don't think there's replay value with that one. |

I guess this teaches me not to form an opinion based off a snippet! Didn't like the snippet but the full song is f'n brilliant.
Video is a bit shite though

Finally bought the physical bundle, I couldn't resist it any longer (so watch free shipping be announced next week
 )As well as the aforementioned Extended version, there's also the Instrumental and Acapella

 There's a couple of nice fresh elements in this one and Dua's vocals ate especially the falsetto bits. Totally lived up to my expectations. She OUTSAT Adele with that music video

LOVE the video, the tension!!! The song.... I am not completely sold yet but Dua's singles tend to grow. This post has been edited by Sour Candy: 16th February 2024, 07:05 AM |

Adored both this and 'Houdini' from the get go, and been hooked on both. The chorus on this is so addictive.
The video is really shite though, but I suppose understandable if they were forced to film another one at short notice. |

This is so good! Listening to it along side Houdini makes them both sound even better. Bring on the album!
