"I A-Bore You" :zzz:

Wasn't originally that keen on Adore You upon the first few listens of Bangerz, but it has grown on me a lot since. :heart:

Well, this is an interesting song.

Adore You is one of the most baffling single choices I have seen in a long time. So boring.

This is such utter boredom. 'Wrecking Ball' is how you do a good ballad, not this tripe.

I like Miley but her singing sounds like a woman who has a failed orgasm..

Adore You is NOT boring, but it's no a great single either. In the album context, it's a fantastic opener for Bangerz.

This is seriously dull.

This song screams album filler to me, it goes nowhere for me, just so boring. I'm glad this isn't looking to be another big hit for her, although top 40 is still too high.

God. This makes me wanna throw something at the radio! :(

First time hearing. Very boring as per the general consensus. Did she have nothing better to release?

This is rather tiresome, sounds like a Rihanna album track reject.

Biography

Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic rose to prominence in 2007, when "Apologize" began its reign as the most popular digital download in American history. Although the song proved to be a quick success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist/cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher to the lineup in the process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003; three years later, however, the bandmates returned from a performance at Coachella to find themselves dropped from Columbia's roster.

 

Nevertheless, OneRepublic's popularity continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the group's profile by penning songs for artists like Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder had already worked for several years) took notice of the group's audience and signed OneRepublic to his own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the group's most promising tracks, "Apologize," and included it on his own album, 2007's Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum-selling single in many countries, breaking airplay records in the U.K. and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in America alone.

 

Later that year, OneRepublic stepped out on their own with Dreaming Out Loud, a debut album filled with piano-fueled songwriting and pop/rock melodies. The album quickly went gold, and "Apologize" continued to top the singles charts in multiple countries. Another Tedder-penned track, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," experienced similar success at the same time, thus making Tedder one of the year's most celebrated songwriters. OneRepublic began writing songs for a second album in 2008, and the group later decamped to Colorado Springs to avoid outside distractions. Although initially planned for a summer release, Waking Up wasn't completed until September 2009. "All the Right Moves," the album's lead single, was released to radio that same month, while the entire album followed in November. In 2013, OneRepublic returned with its third studio album, Native, featuring the singles, "Feel Again" and "If I Lose Myself."

Discussion Thread Here

This is only my second listen of this ~ unsure of what to think at the moment, could be a grower.

Do What U Want :heart:

 

Shame this didn't re-peak with the Christina remix, I doubt the video will make the slightest difference now unless it's as talked about as Telephone was at the time!

 

 

The fact that it took so long to become chart elegible ruined its run (why didn't it do an Eminem?), as it would certainly peak higher than #9.

Great to see 'If I Lose Myself' charting! :wub:

'If I Lose Myself' FINALLY smashing :heart: Yay for Alesso, keep those hits coming!

Jameela announcing this as just 'OneRepublic' - I guess the OCC are still not crediting Alesso on this then. Maybe they'll fix it some time this week like they did with Lana Del Rey.

 

This is sounding better than it did on first listen the other day. May be a growa.

OneRepublic matching the highest number of top 40 singles they've had from one album already. It still surprises me how they took off all of a sudden, when Native flopped so much to start with! :lol:
