My favourite bit is the bridge, his high-pitch is just about right. Still feel a bit underwhelming though, too relaxing. This post has been edited by Red Blooded Man: 17th August 2018, 03:23 PM

It's pretty much at exactly the same tempo as One Kiss (although admittedly, Dua's vocals sound more 'dancey' than Sam's). Literally they are like basically the same song with the same tempo beat, the piano just makes it sounds slower.

Joined: 24 May 2016 Posts: 18,467 User: 23,308	I don't usually like Sam Smith's vocal style, but it sounds like a good tune, the chirpy background synths and echoey backing vocals make it sound quite early-00s chilled house to me, a bit like DB Boulevard or Moony.

I did appreciate Nuh Ready but the problem with that was the vocals were bordering on intolerable.

This doesn't even come close to matching those 2 classics
