Hyped for the Kehlani and Kelis tracks
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 21st May 2020, 04:17 PM
I hope this is an improvement on Caracal, they really lost me with that. Although they have done a few decent things since then.

That's a great feature list there, looking forward to this! Excited for the slowthai collab in particular + loving seeing another Fatoumata Diawara collab on the way too, I think 'Ultimatum' may be my favourite song from them these days and their work with African artists has continued to be excellent with 'Tondo' and 'Etran' being my 2 fave songs from their recent EP. Cool to see those and their other EP tracks getting a belated placement on a proper album albeit only the deluxe version (and lol at 'Talk' being tagged on too).
edit: I see Blick Bassy is also an African artist so perched for that track too.

Kelis!!!
I'm so excited to listen to this song to be honest.
Posted by: dan-G 21st May 2020, 05:22 PM
big yes for an actual album coming out of this! a late birthday present for me too.
not a huge fan of Energy on a listen, sounds like a good album track but I want a killer single.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 21st May 2020, 05:54 PM
'Energy' kind of goes nowhere in the same way 'Bang That' does.

Douha (Mali Mali) is available to listen to from a previous mix they’ve done

I'm really liking 'ENERGY', giving me some 'When A Fire Starts To Burn' teas! (The music video is kind of hilarious as well)
It is interesting that they're releasing one of the very few non-collab songs as the lead single.

#26 on the dance chart is a decent start, can’t have been too far off the actual Top 100 in the end

Really buzzing for the new album! Ecstasy and Tondo have really grown on me over the last couple of months. Really looking forward to the Kelis track - she's had a number of great dance features. I cannot forsee any massive singles however.
Returned to Caracal recently and I enjoyed it a lot more than when I first bought it.
Posted by: Juan Carlos 28th June 2020, 02:24 PM
New single out next week.

I kept reading this thinking the actual title is 'It Is My High', I was like... that's an awkward sounding title.
But this is really good! Much more like it.

Not a big fan of ,,My High"
Posted by: dan-G 1st July 2020, 09:20 PM
My High is sounding great, a little bit different for Disclosure but I like it, certainly an improvement over the title track (which I get the feeling will probably end up as one of my least faves of the album).
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 1st July 2020, 09:44 PM
Loving "My High"! A definite change in sound for the boys but a very welcome one
Posted by: Bré 5th July 2020, 01:45 AM
'My High' is another banger, slowthai over Disclosure production not disappointing some parts of it (primarily Aminé's verse) are reminding me a little of '212'.
Think I might like this one more than 'ENERGY'. 2 for 2 so far anyway! (or... 5 for 9 if including the bonus tracks lol)
Posted by: dan-G 6th July 2020, 05:11 PM
#77 in the mids for 'My High' - looking good for them to get a Top 100 out of this
showing at #260 and #352 on Apple, for the edit and album version, annoyingly no way of knowing where it'd be combined
Posted by: Bré 6th July 2020, 05:53 PM
Ooh I didn't realise there were 2 versions of this, it had a lower first day debut than 'ENERGY' on Spotify but I guess it was probably higher combined then. Hope it should be good to stay top 100, would be their first as the primary artist since 'Magnets'. Believe it'd also be Aminé's first ever UK top 100 hit (after being a one hit wonder in the US 4 years ago) and only the third for slowthai!
Posted by: lewistgreen 6th July 2020, 06:28 PM
Mildly better mids positioning than Energy which is nice to see! Fingers crossed it charts. Would love to see a return to Top 40 at some point during this era for them
Posted by: lewistgreen 10th July 2020, 07:45 AM
My High Has been playlisted by Radio 1! Nice to see but still shocked ENERGY wasn’t
Posted by: Bré 10th July 2020, 12:47 PM
Is it possible 'ENERGY' was meant to just be a promo single? I still think it was an odd decision to drop one of the few songs without a big name feature as the lead single, 'My High' also sounds much more like single material anyway (much as I liked 'ENERGY').
Posted by: lewistgreen 12th July 2020, 11:29 AM
#86 for My High this week (#23 on the dance chart)
Posted by: lewistgreen 28th July 2020, 09:05 PM
Douha is out tomorrow. The video premieres at 19:30am BST.
Posted by: Bré 6th August 2020, 12:01 AM
Disclosure and Fatoumata are such a winning combo. Another wonderfully joyous song from them.
Posted by: lewistgreen 7th August 2020, 04:48 PM
#83 for Douha today in the charts!
Posted by: Bré 8th August 2020, 02:12 AM
Getting the top 100 peak that 'Ultimatum' deserved, we love to see it. *.* (Surprising that this actually outcharted 'My High').
Posted by: lewistgreen 8th August 2020, 11:57 AM
Douha has been remixed by Joe Goddard this week, but it's an Amazon Music only exclusive
Posted by: James Montague 10th August 2020, 07:51 AM
I'm a big fan of Disclosure so I'm glad they have come back with new music.
I hope that 'Douha' becomes a hit single but I doubt it. It's too quirky and alternative for that.
Posted by: awardinary 13th August 2020, 10:18 PM

Certainly sounds different from the sample here, full song available later this evening;
Posted by: dan-G 26th August 2020, 04:19 PM
'Birthday' is out now - a bit more RnB than we're used to from Disclosure, I am quite liking it on a first listen however.
there's also a Minecraft tie-in for the album
Posted by: lewistgreen 26th August 2020, 05:15 PM
The VIP Mix is also available which takes it up a gear for the better. The official video for the original version is out on Friday with the album.
Posted by: lewistgreen 28th August 2020, 05:38 PM
I listened to this earlier and perhaps really wasn’t giving it my full attention but it just didn’t wow me? The Kelis track is a nice opener and I already loved ENERGY and My High but everything else sort of falls flat
Posted by: dan-G 30th August 2020, 06:42 AM
it certainly feels like the weakest of their albums yet which is a shame, I did quite like the first two tracks but especially wasn’t too keen on that six minute French song.
Posted by: Tangela 30th August 2020, 09:20 AM
I enjoyed it on first listen, more than Caracal at least. Need more listens to form a proper opinion though.
Also really liked the Kelis collab - been missing her!
Posted by: dan-G 1st September 2020, 08:20 PM
Midweek #4 and in a busy week for releases, not bad at all. Will probably end up missing the top five but top 10 is certain. In the singles chart Birthday is #71 and Douha is #81.
Posted by: lewistgreen 2nd September 2020, 12:54 PM
Who Knew? video is now available
Posted by: dan-G 4th September 2020, 05:15 PM
It keeps its #4 position! Great position considering the top five is full of new releases. Birthday #81, Douha #87.
Posted by: Bré 4th September 2020, 08:12 PM
Wasn't expecting too much from the album tracks from the general reception I've seen to the album but I have been pleasantly surprised - I think this album overall is quite a bit better than 'Caracal' and actually might be rivalling 'Settle' for me! 'Who Knew?' is my favourite of the songs we hadn't already heard 'Lavender' and 'Watch Your Step' are both certified bangers as well and I did rather like 'Ce N'Est Pas' and 'Reverie' too (though the latter felt like it was over before it really got going, while the former could probably have done with being a bit shorter - make both of them 4 minutes and it'd probably improve the album even more ) 'Birthday' is the weakest on the album for me (excluding the interludes and 'Talk') but it's still ok, I just don't really find Disclosure's crossover R&B-ish songs as interesting as their other work I guess. Naturally it has ended up being the highest charting song from the main album lol ~ (but yay for 'Douha (Mali Mali)' joining it this week for a second week in the top 100 - I really need more songs from Disclosure & Fatoumata, both of their collabs are among Disclosure's all-time best for me <3)
(edit: I typed this before getting to the remixes of 'Birthday' - both of those are definitely improvements on the original (particularly the MJ Cole remix) but it's still not a standout on this tracklist, just maybe lifted ahead of 'Reverie' and a couple of the songs from the 'Ecstasy' EP x)
Posted by: Steve201 4th September 2020, 10:57 PM
I’ve found myself adding this to my Apple Music download list for plays offline which i didn’t expect as the singles have wowed me but the album as a whole is really interesting on first listen, really like the different genres in the album body and it’s just well differebt.

Wookie Remix of Who Knew? is out today. Big garage vibes
Posted by: Bré 22nd September 2020, 05:50 PM
Honestly if I didn't know which was which I'd have assumed the original version was the Wookie remix, I get stronger 'garage vibes' from the original kind of disappointing remix there imo.
'Reverie' and 'Lavender' both have videos now as well - surprised these have got them before 'Watch Your Step'. They've been dropping a video each week for the last few weeks though so maybe that one will be coming in the next couple of days?
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 23rd September 2020, 01:26 PM
Why didn't they try and push 'Watch Your Step' at any point? It's so good!
It's 'Confess To Me' all over again.

Not new material, just one of these playlists of old songs released as 'EPs' that have been spamming the Spotify profiles of a bunch of artists recently.

Such a shame 'Watch Your Step' did nothing at all despite heavy Radio 1 support and seeming quite popular.
some parts of it (primarily Aminé's verse) are reminding me a little of '212'.
