It sounds very late 00s to me, when this kind of R&B was popular!
Very good song, and this looks like it will be big. |

Fantastic that it’s at 12 in the midweeks. I’ve enjoyed all of Mabels singles so far.

I do really like this but no as much as everyone else on here seems to! Fine Line is by far her best single for me, although I'd say this has time to grow on me. I haven't seen the video yet but I imagine that's a big selling point for a lot of you with the New Rules comparisons because I don't hear it in the song at all

I haven't seen the video yet but I imagine that's a big selling point for a lot of you with the New Rules comparisons because I don't hear it in the song at all It's more lyrical theme that's similar to 'New Rules' rather than sonically. Doesn't seem gimmicky in any way though. The video definitely has some strong 'New Rules' comparisons though. 'Fine Line' was my favourite from Mabel too but I think this will top this, even when the benefit of recency wears off. I can see this being her biggest hit to date based on its performance so far. Funnily enough it feels like she's following a similar chart progress to Dua Lipa. 'Finders Keepers' and 'Fine Line' were her 'Hotter Than Hell'/'Blow Your Mind', 'One Shot' was her 'Lost In Your Light' and then 'Don't Call Me Up' could be her 'New Rules' moment, although probably to a lesser extent. |

Who remembers TOTP Saturday and when they used to do the "£20 Pop Vid"? Where acts would try and reshoot their music videos on a budget of £20? Well, that's the vibe I got from the video in comparison to New Rules lmao. (Obviously on a much higher budget than £20, but the comparisons are def legit imo)

Glad to see this looks comfortable for a top 40 debut, perhaps even a top 20 debut! I hope it'll climb a lot and become a big hit for her. Loving it. The video almost has 1 million views now and it's only been a few days!

It's strange that all the new hit females have had a very similar career so far, 2 fairly big hits, a huge flop, then their biggest hit to date!
Anne-Marie (Alarm & Ciao Adiós - Heavy - 2002) Dua Lipa (Hotter Than Hell & Be The One - Lost In Your Light - New Rules) Zara Larsson (Lush Life & Ain't My Fault - So Good - Symphony) |

Anne-Marie (Alarm & Ciao Adiós - Heavy - 2002) Dua Lipa (Hotter Than Hell & Be The One - Lost In Your Light - New Rules) Zara Larsson (Lush Life & Ain't My Fault - So Good - Symphony) In all these cases it felt like people's reactions at the time to the songs that flopped indicated they would flop and the reactions to the songs that became the biggest hit indicated they would be huge. Makes you wonder why the record companies were sitting on songs that had the potential to be huge and released songs that, from the off, received a mediocre reception. Obviously it helps added longevity to the album campaigns to have later singles be huge hits, but those flops had the potential to derail everything. |
