It's just perfect :wub:

I'm not sure what to think of the studio version, after listening to the live version for so long! It feels a lot slower, and much less "anthemic". Also, there's too much vocoder especially on the hook :( I'm sure it'll grow on me after time, but it just feels like such a big contrast at the moment.

Sounds really good and I think it'll sound even better with an even higher quality version!

Listening to the studio version, I guess I'm just not gonna like this. She sounds like a shit mix of Lana Del Rey and Shakira. It's horrible to listen to. Sorry guys. :(

So splendid!

Really don't like it...... too much cowboys and indians sound....

The "Sticks and Stones" video premières on Friday!

 

interesting mix

Loving the video and studio version, but to all intents and purposes it's basically a slightly quirky re-working of an Aura Dionne song (especially Geronimo).

Okay, I officially LOVE the studio/video version of this now! :wub: The drums could do with being a bit louder, but apart from that it's perfect :wub: She's recently signed with Roc Nation, so hopefully there'll be a big push soon enough. "Sticks and Stones" is looking likely to be added to Radio 1's playlist next Wednesday also :D

This is out today (currently #94 on iTunes :(). The album title is Battles, and the tracklisting/(placeholder) artwork is below:

So pleased to see she's recorded Hard to Love Somebody (Part II). Braveheart is also a brilliant track, so I'm happy to see it included. Looking forward to hearing the other tracks!

 

Shame Radio 1 shunned Sticks And Stones, especially after it got a decent promo slot on the New Year's TOTP.
