hype~

This is out there and I just find it very odd, I can't see it being a hit at all. It's nice that he's gone in a new reggae direction but I think I'm just fed up with his voice these days and this just feels very bland despite it being a different direction.

Posted by: BASTILLEmdh Jul 7 2016, 04:50 PM

this already exists. Can someone combine this with the original topic?

Posted by: LB1108 Jul 7 2016, 08:04 PM

Well this is horrific....

Posted by: mr_pmt Jul 7 2016, 08:29 PM

Where can I hear it?

*edit - now heard, horrific!

This is awful

Posted by: slowdown73 Jul 8 2016, 07:31 AM

Not sure what I think of this. It's ok but not as good as blame.

Posted by: Juranamo Jul 8 2016, 07:52 AM

Well this is not only crap, but boring too. He sounds so bored!

I'll give it a chance to grow, but I won't hold out any hope...

What the f*** is this? Bye John Newman.

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jul 8 2016, 08:07 AM

This is awful! What was he thinking?

He'd better come back with something great to redeem himself from this.

Really is as bad as others have made out

Posted by: Dobbo Jul 8 2016, 07:03 PM

I actually really like this! Such a refreshing change from him screaming down the mic.

Without a doubt the worst song I have heard all year I just can't see how people enjoy his voice normally but he sounds so so bored on this as has been said.

Whoever told Calvin that it was okay to record a reggae song is seriously deranged.

This doesn't go anywhere does it looks like they tried to experiment with something different, but it didn't work out unfortunately.

Posted by: HarryEzra Jul 9 2016, 12:30 AM

This is so bad...imho it doesnt even sound like him No scream or his tradmark growl What the hell John Newman why sound so bored :')

Posted by: Jade Jul 9 2016, 12:30 AM

This isn't exactly a crime against music but is kinda bland. Not what i was expecting from a new Calvin produced John Newman single. Just a bizarre direction!

Posted by: Ðøßßø Aug 8 2016, 02:46 PM

Still loving this one myself! Sounds completely different to anything else I've heard in a while so that could be a factor

Posted by: Cody Collins Aug 8 2016, 02:57 PM

Did they seriously reuse the yacht and wardrobe for "Give Me Your Love"?

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 8 2016, 03:11 PM

I actually really like the sound of this and his vocals are perfect as always.

The original of this is so bad but the following remix just came on my Spotify and it turns it into a bit of a banger:
