'Don't You Know' has grown on me, but I'm not wholly convinced this isn't gonna be an album of 'This Girl' clones.

I just get the feeling nothing on it will be anything even close to This Girl. Still worthy of a stream though...

Indeed it could easily be just like Robin Schulz's album (i.e. nothing is very good except the singles)

I hope we are proved wrong. Song of his earlier remixes are stunning production-wise!

Rae Morris *.*

Posted by: lewistgreen Oct 20 2016, 11:08 PM

I Feel So Bad is definitely This Girl Pt. II laugh.gif

Posted by: RobBob Oct 20 2016, 11:27 PM

Yeah, I Feel So Bad sounds just like This Girl in the verses if it had a baby with maybe Intoxicated in the break down. Not really complaining though, bit of a jam <3

Posted by: HarryEzra Oct 20 2016, 11:28 PM

Excited to hear Rae Morris collab tbh

Posted by: danG Oct 21 2016, 09:48 AM

liking 'I Feel So Bad' music.gif This album should be great then, Rae Morris will probably sound excellent on a Kungs track too!

I thought 'Don't You Know' was a clone, but that has the exact same structure as 'This Girl'. laugh.gif

Posted by: twentyonemdh Oct 24 2016, 08:37 AM

I Feel So Bad is a massive jam. Better than Don't You Know.

Posted by: Red Blooded Man Oct 26 2016, 01:05 PM

Both "Don't you know" and "I feel so bad" are nowhere as good as "This Girl".

Posted by: lewistgreen Oct 27 2016, 02:04 PM

You Remain is out tomorrow apparently

Has anyone actually listened to this yet? Spotify delay prevented me from even bothering, but it's on there now so I've given it a run through this evening.

The singles (This Girl, Don't You Know, I Feel So Bad) are, obviously, the standouts of the album, but that's because in an era of tracks that all sound quite similar, it's the songs that have been heard the most that are going to sound the best initially.

Delving a bit deeper, 'Wild Church' is actually a very interesting instrumental and reignited my interest just as I was becoming a bit bored of listening half way through.

If I'm honest, the album is full of your run-of-the-mill tropical and deep house songs but with little flourishes of deviation to keep it interesting. 'Bangalore Streets' is a highlight as it throws future bass/trap into the mix which is quite refreshing to hear even though this sound is being over produced at the moment too.

The Rae Morris collab at the end of the album is generic but also amazing because of Rae's impressive vocals.

Overall, it's a solid album, but not blow your tits off amazing and perhaps isn't something I'll return to over and over again.
