QUOTE(awardinary @ Feb 26 2020, 10:09 PM)  What’s the Destiny’s Child sample? Is it the “Where You At” part? Yeah that part. I think it was from their 2004 hit "Soldier" |

I don't get the hate
 I think it's a fun bop!

i love this! it is a bop - not sure what people are expecting from mabel. she + the label know that she’s a bop machine + not offering anything too deep. she does what she’s supposed to + she does it well!

This is dire. I thought she was a promising artist after Finders Keepers and DCMU. But these recent releases are bland af. I can't see her going the same way as Dua if her music doesn't improve.

On second listen I have to admit I'm finding this a bit of a bop. I just want better from her as I know she's capable of it. At least it seems to be another song added to the album to keep the streams going. Hopefully she'll have something a bit more original up her sleeve when she does start a new era.

she will never start a new era, she will keep adding songs to this one forever, same as Jax Jones

This is such a misfire. Gutted because she's so capable

I don't understand the near unanimous disdain for this. It's quintissentially a Mabel song in the sense that it's a bop but nothing groundbreaking. If anything, 'Mad Love' is the weakest link in her most recent discography for me (Xmas track aside b/c I have no idea how that goes).
Of her singles, I'd actually rank this second to only 'Fine Line'. Ooops. This post has been edited by Defaze: Mar 4 2020, 06:11 PM |

I actually think this is better than 'Don't Call Me Up' and 'Mad Love' tbh!
 ... With the caveat that I disliked both of those songs. And this one is not good either. x QUOTE(Defaze @ Mar 4 2020, 06:10 PM) I don't understand the near unanimous disdain for this.

I kind of get what you mean here but her earlier singles definitely had at least a little more substance to them than the mindless vapidity of stuff like this and 'Mad Love'. 'Fine Line' was actually a legit great song and it's not like it wasn't a hit. |

Too early to tell! Debuting Top 30 is pretty decent I would say, I think it'll probably do similar to 'God Is A Dancer' eventually - at absolute best it might be a low Top 10 for her.

it's climbing everywhere and the support also far hasn't been that big, so I think top 20 is for certain
I still find it one of the weakest singles to date, the post-chorus where you at part is what I like the least and they pay lots of $ to get the sample and then it's under-used in the song |

This is really grown on me this week and it’s now probably my second favourite of hers just behind ‘fine line.’

This has grown a lot.
Not ground breaking or anything but a BOP. And it’s the kind of stuff I miss in the charts tbh. So I’m hoping it can become a hit. It sounds like something Little Mix could get away with. This post has been edited by Jordan Lee: Mar 15 2020, 09:50 PM |

Deleted my comment. Was in bad taste and no need to raise that subject here. Sorry. Can moderators delete this post and Jack's quote of it below.
