Posted June 15, 201213 yr For those of you who haven't been keeping track of the 'Fireflies' singer and electronic experimentalist, he's already on his 3rd album. 2011's All Things Bright And Beautiful was one of my favourite albums from last year and it's absolutely brilliant.Β He released an EP earlier this year with 4 tracks that will be on The Midsummer Station on it. Shooting Star, Dementia (featuring Mark Hoppus of blink-182 fame), Gold, and Take It All Away. It showed a much more rocky and less airy direction. Maybe he's going for keeping his career alive, maybe he's branching out. WHO KNOWS!!Β Dementia: LZbxoCmzZo4 It's really quite euphoric, I've really come to love it recently. The other 3 are ok, but none of them have grabbed me yet.Β Anyway, the gist of this is that last night on Twitter, this happened: https://twitter.com/owlcity/status/213409929699135489Β Two current one hit wonders are coming together to produce this, and I really can't WAIT.Β Should be hearing it on June 26.
June 15, 201213 yr Preview of "Good Time": N8nQjOLF-vIΒ You can't tell much from that apart from it sounds like it'll be very repetitive... If it's released in soon, it could be a hit due to Carly. I doubt anybody remembers Owl City.
June 15, 201213 yr Ooh, I quite like the sound of that!! :cheer:Β Looking forward to hearing the full thing!
June 15, 201213 yr Look at Carly, being so kind as to resurrect his career. Carly to become Mother Teresa of pop? Edited June 15, 201213 yr by Umi
June 15, 201213 yr Author Preview of "Good Time": You can't tell much from that apart from it sounds like it'll be very repetitive... If it's released in soon, it could be a hit due to Carly. I doubt anybody remembers Owl City.Β I'll admit, that doesn't sound too promising, but I'll wait for the whole song before I judge anything. That chorus of people at the end had better be used to good effect and the interchange of the voices sounds a bit clunky.Β I can't see this being a hit myself but there's not much to go on right now.
June 15, 201213 yr I love that we're all talking of Carly and Owl City as if this is on par with the Pope gracing your local vicar with his presence, when the reality is that right now she's in NO better position than he was two years ago. At this point in time she's also little more than a one-hit wonder. I'll be surprised if this does a thing.
June 20, 201213 yr Author E5oez5deOLUΒ It's on Youtube. Β And it's far better than I expected. So happy, starts off slow, gets bigger, and looking like a song of the summer already! :wub:
June 20, 201213 yr I was just about to post that! :PΒ It's a decent enough song; nowhere as good as their breakthrough singles though, but it does have a "catchy" enough/memorable chorus. I'd like it to be a hit, but more for Carly's sake than his (and it's a hell of a lot better than the rest of the stuff on her Curiosity EP).
June 20, 201213 yr It sounds so Disney! I reckon this will be massive in both the US and the UK, as long as they get it out before Call Me Maybe dies down completely.
June 20, 201213 yr Author I wasn't expecting it to beat Fireflies or Call Me Maybe, I'm just happy it's something really quite decent, and not clunky like the clip suggested.
June 20, 201213 yr Extremely catchy, really love it after a couple of listens (could easily get very annoying though). Should be a hit if they release it right, could have the same sort of appeal that 'Call Me Maybe' did (both very pop, very catchy).
June 20, 201213 yr I really like it. :o Very instant.Β She sounds like Diana Vickers on this. :lol: Edited June 20, 201213 yr by Silver Rocket
June 20, 201213 yr I really like it. :o Very instant.Β She sounds like Diana Vickers on this. :lol:Β That must be why I love it! :wub:Β Anyway, I think this might be a slightly higher quality version:Β vceP7k45b8I
June 21, 201213 yr I really like it. :o Very instant.Β She sounds like Diana Vickers on this. :lol:I was thinking the exact same thing! :lol: Such a good and surprising collaboration though! Hope it's a hit for both of them. 'Fireflies' was far more popular than it should have been but 'Call Me Maybe' was as big as I'd hoped it to be :wub: Fantastic pop song.
June 21, 201213 yr THIS SONG IS BRILLIANT. Carly made Owl City listenable. Is there anything this woman cannot do?

June 21, 201213 yr Really liking it on first listen surprisingly! Really fun and feel good, nothing groundbreaking, but by far the best thing Owl City have done to date. Should easily be a hit if Radio 1 and Capital get on board and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't.
