OH MY GOD

This trio of names (well, quad as it's Mattman & Robin) makes me very excited, cannot wait to hear this

Posted by: hotchoc26 17th March 2016, 05:53 PM

Mattman and Robin

not only do the producer's names amuse me, but I'll look forward to two very good artists release new material

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 17th March 2016, 05:58 PM

Another collab for Tove to not bother being a part of

Posted by: mr_pmt 17th March 2016, 06:18 PM

She's getting around! I hope all these features help build a profile for when she unleashes her second opus.

Posted by: AaronTM 18th March 2016, 01:32 AM

Nick Jonas and Tove Lo?! Yes please.

As well as being good to look at, I've quite enjoyed the recent music of Nick Jonas so I'm looking forward to this.

Artwork!



Excited for this as I've been loving Nick's material, and some of Tove's too but not as much as Nick's, and I've loved Mattman & Robin's recent productions!

Is it out today?

Posted by: Juan Carlos 25th March 2016, 12:05 AM

The track will be premiered on US radios at midnight EST, so looks like it's going to have an OA/OS release there.

Posted by: Jaÿ 25th March 2016, 05:00 AM

I'm ready

Posted by: Liаm 25th March 2016, 05:04 AM

Omgggg this is SO good! I love the melody especially and their voices go so well together as well as with the production.

Posted by: Joe. 25th March 2016, 10:21 AM

This is decent.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 25th March 2016, 10:24 AM

This is really good.

Posted by: mdh 25th March 2016, 10:44 AM

this is pretty good - Tove Lo is on fire at the moment

Doing OK on iTunes as of now, it sounds like a hit too, so I would expect it to make a chart entry in the next few weeks when its airplay and streaming starts to pick up (obviously it'll struggle this week as it's OA/OS)

Posted by: mr_pmt 25th March 2016, 10:57 AM

I like this, of course Tove's part is total heaven as expected. Much better than 'Levels' at any rate!

Posted by: Joe. 25th March 2016, 12:55 PM

It kind of reminds me of the kind of music Zayn aiming for.

Posted by: Slick 25th March 2016, 01:14 PM

I've been saying all along that Zayn would aim for a Nick Jonas style of music for his solo career. Pillowtalk was spot on in that it could have appeared on Nick's album, and Close sounds like it could be on Zayn's!

I REALLY like it. It's catchy and more in the vein of 'Chains' than any of his previous singles. Tove's bit is really good too (and if we're comparing recent features, her part on this is MUCH better than her part on Desire.)

Best part of that video: 2:40 where you see the perfect outline of his bum 😈

Posted by: Hayzayy 25th March 2016, 02:51 PM

It's very VERY "The Weeknd" but I like that.
It sounds great on first listen so it's a yay for me. There's a bit "too much" Tove Lo on it though, it's more like a duet than a simple feature.

The first part of the video had me like "BORIING" but then it turns out to be a great video.
Oh and BULGE IN ACTION !!!!

Posted by: Joe. 25th March 2016, 03:10 PM

I actually think that video is really effective. It's simple, but has a strong narrative and is suitably intense. I was enjoying the song anyway, but it definitely heightens the whole thing for me. Tove and Nick both look amazing and are very convincing .

Posted by: Cameron 25th March 2016, 03:10 PM

Really enjoyed on first listen!

Posted by: J▲hq 25th March 2016, 11:37 PM

It's nice, though maybe a bit too subtle for my liking. Tove is great, adds a lot to it. Nowhere near as good as Jealous but I prefer Levels too.

Posted by: johnjo07 26th March 2016, 12:42 AM

Loooove this. Back on form after the quite disappointing 'Levels'!

Posted by: Euphorique 26th March 2016, 12:15 PM

The video was great, obviously inspired by Elastic Heart

Posted by: Jake 26th March 2016, 12:33 PM

not so much 'on fire' more universal crowbarring an appearance from her onto several artists to keep up "brand awareness" and it both sullies her image and shows what little faith they as an umbrella label have in her/how little they assume people will remember of her. like you don't need to be turning up on nick jonas' duets; it's everything tove lo never stood for last era.

she's clearly going the way of the ellie goulding then!

Posted by: Joe. 26th March 2016, 11:31 PM

I agree Tove Lo is owning this. She doesn't feel tacked on at all as with Desire (which she simply was, I guess). It almost feels more like a Tove Lo song than a Nick song, in fact she has a writing credit and he doesn't.

Posted by: Robot 26th March 2016, 11:34 PM

Yeah, only heard this today but it was instant love, and I haven't loved anything of Nick's yet. It's the perfect blend between both of their sounds, Desire definitely feels tacked on, but this is so natural and they both deliver it convincingly. Gonna be playing this a lot, fantastic stuff.

Posted by: HarryEzra 26th March 2016, 11:37 PM

Not only that but watch the video I hope

Posted by: Robot 26th March 2016, 11:43 PM

Oh wow, that might be the best video I've seen all year, that's enhanced how much I enjoy this actually. I was expecting it to be filthy because of you, Harry, but it's really well done, tasteful.

Posted by: HarryEzra 27th March 2016, 12:23 AM

Bitch I am tasteful but this video was also hot too

Posted by: Noahspike 27th March 2016, 05:03 PM

Fully agree. The entire package, musically and visually, feels like a natural partnership. A good example too of how to make a great video on the cheap!

Instantly a fan of the song itself - reminds me a bit of Usher's 'Climax'.

Posted by: slowdown73 27th March 2016, 10:53 PM

I don't think this is very good to be honest. Levels and jealous were good pop hits but this is just bland and boring.

Posted by: AaronTM 29th March 2016, 11:36 PM

This is really good, they seem like an odd combination on paper but it works so well and the video is pretty good too. It feels very dramatic and slick. For some reason he doesn't get the love Justin Bieber and Zayn are getting for their similar music, but his is just as good/better and he was kind of doing it before them.

Posted by: Joe. 30th March 2016, 06:27 AM

The thing that isn't great is the single the artwork, which is a low res screen shot from the video, which is way too dark. They could have done better, surely.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 30th March 2016, 10:07 AM

Considering she managed to actually leave the recording studio to film a video, you think someone would've take a hi-res photo.

Posted by: Joe. 5th April 2016, 09:42 AM

This went in at #27 in America, which I'd say is a decent debut. I peeped in the International chart forum and it looks as though it's doing okay on radio, but I never really understood their system.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 5th April 2016, 11:17 AM

That's good for him! Isn't that his 2nd highest peaking single?

Posted by: Joe. 5th April 2016, 12:15 PM

Third, Chains did really well in the US

Posted by: Cody Ballas 7th April 2016, 01:24 AM

THIS SONG IS OWNING ME RIGHT NOW.
