Not sure if this will be a third consecutive #1 for him but it's a hit for sure. Although it depends how much impact Rag'n'Bone Man's name has... but it's definitely not gonna pull a One Kiss tongue.gif

The production is nice but I feel like Rag N Bin man’s voice just does not go with the song. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

Have to agree, unfortunately. His voice is pretty unlistenable on this for me.

agree on the nails on chalkboard too :/ he's very shouting in a pub kinda vocal
sure it's a hit with the song being insta-A-added to R1 and R2 and HH on Spotify

Was not expecting the horn drop at all, love it so much! biggrin.gif


Well I certainly was expecting a horn drop. Considering the verses already sounded a bit Kungs-ish or a bit Bakermat-ish.

It's good enough I suppose.

Oh wow, very early 2000s! Hoping for a sound reflecting that now biggrin.gif


Indeed the single artwork does look very early 2000s but the song definitively doesn't sound early 00s sadly, it sounds decidedly late 10s.

Do think this is weaker than One Kiss and Promises but I still like this! Promises was very so-so for me at first so maybe this can grow even more on me.

It didn't do much for me on the first listen, but then I dismissed 'Promises' as being bland on the first listen and was wrong about that so I'll see if it grows.

This is a bit more instant for me than Promises was and I came to really love that. The drops on this took me by surprise! Loving it though.

A couple more listens of this and... Nah. It's not for me so I'll pass now. He's still 2 for 3 though with this era.

This is growing on me! The horn section is an earworm for sure and I'm growing to like R'n'B Man's vocals on this. The more I listen I can't help but think that his vocal delivery sounds just like a powerful female soul singer like Jennifer Hudson laugh.gif

3 in a row I was like "oh it's alright" on first listen then thought "oh this is great" on second listen then thought "tuuuune!" on third listen. Another number 1 beckons?

I'm not so sure that this will be a #1 seeing as Sam Smith is doing better, he may have to settle for a few weeks at #2 behind Sam.

One Kiss started off behind Nice For What, don’t think it means much tbh
