'Hiding a little secret'... The record label must be panicking due to the performance of 'Talking About' this week.
I'M HAVING HEART PALPITATIONS AND HOT FLASHES AND MY NON-EXISTENT OVARIES JUST WENT OFF LIKE CHERNOBYL
same tbh omg.

I think I like it but don't love it. It's nothing like "Talking About". I quite like how it's not massive / in your face.

I like! Interesting sound, I wonder if Labrinth produced this? It sounds like something he might have produced. The song is great though, it just feels a little disjointed at the end?

It sounds like a bit of a mess, but it may grow.
I feel like this has all been announced in a panic after what's happening with the current single, and I don't see him recovering now.

i think this'll be his '5am' moment following the flop that was his 'what love is made of'. he just needs a 'crying for no reason' now.

"Talking About" is way better.
Posted by: Regina 26th April 2015, 03:45 PM
Certainly better than Talking About. Still not as flawless as R U Crazy though.

Gives me "R U Crazy" teas
CALLED THAT SH*T.
I do agree that it's better than "Talking About", and I've been waiting for a big band mixture sound from him since the swing version of "R U Crazy".

Wise to move on quickly from the 'Talking About' disaster - Hope he can recover from it!
Posted by: JosephStyles 26th April 2015, 07:59 PM
I always listen to the video version of R U Crazy, with the swing intro leading into the main song

The verses are so good but the chorus is a bit of a mess, but a grower.
Strange how this is all being handled, they'll probably call TA a buzz single or something.

I actually think Radio 1 might give him one last chance with this. But if it doesn't go top 10 I'd say that's him done for.

I love how Conor and his team have totally dismissed that 'Talking About' ever happened or charted today - He has already changed his Twitter profile picture to the 'Royalty' single cover If this becomes a hit we can all claim that TA was a buzz single and dismiss it missing the Top 40
Posted by: JosephStyles 26th April 2015, 08:47 PM
With a few repeated listens I am hooked, more than I was with Talking About at this stage!

I'm pretty much 100% certain they won't, for an act like him it's always a tell-tale sign when they hastily remove a song from their playlist on release week due to floppage.

You're probably right. A few artists' comeback singles have underperformed and the second lead in does much better like Katy B. I remember they removed Jessie Ware's Tough Love on release week (which was quite shocking as the mid weeks had just revealed it to be her first top 40).
