August 12, 201410 yr Very good indeed. My only criticism really is the "quirks" in her voice. They really irritate me and make it sound like she struggles a bit, and seeing as they're much more prominent this time around than in 'Ghost', I'm not sure for how long I'll be able to grin and bear it. Hopefully for a while though as I do really like it.
August 12, 201410 yr Pleasantly surprised, loved Ghost & actually really like Glow, on my 4th listen & it seems to be getting better with each listen! :wub: :)
August 12, 201410 yr I'm sold on the first listen! It sounds like a hit, it will definitely be top 3 but I hope it can be another #1!
August 12, 201410 yr Ella really playing the avril Alexa Glow Grimsby lavigne chung card and doing it well
August 12, 201410 yr This hasn't left much of an impression on me on first listen. In fairness to her, she has set herself ridiculously high standards with 'Ghost', considering how that seemed to click with people from the off and was such an obvious hit. This may be a grower, as has been said. I remember being very underwhelmed when I first heard 'Diamonds', which I took about a month to appreciate, and I now consider it one of Rihanna's best. So there's hope for this but not feeling it as of now.
August 12, 201410 yr absolutely sold on her. can't believe she's come from x factor - everything about her is becoming so right!
August 12, 201410 yr The "youthful hipsters having hipster related fun" visual was a bit off putting! I'll have to have another listen to this without the video, I think. Song seems decent, not on a 'Ghost' level, but that would have been a very tall order.
August 12, 201410 yr Has the preorder gone up yet? Yes it has! glow is currently #193 on itunes... It has grown on me a lot now, like it, good radio song. Ps. If you Shamzam it you get another track on Thursday.... Edited August 12, 201410 yr by JimmyT
August 12, 201410 yr I don't have a lot to add that hasn't been said, I agree it's a grower and might take time with a lot of people but I'll add some appreciation for this <3
August 12, 201410 yr Thought the pre order would have been higher since it was TOTD and a big 2nd single?!
August 12, 201410 yr Yeah, I have to echo the sentiments of it being a very good song on first listen but I get the sense it'll be a grower, as it already sounds better than it did on first listen. Do I think she'll get another #1 from this? Probably not, but I think it's another hit and she's really morphing into a great artist with a very clear lane. It's different to Ghost but not so different that you don't get an idea of who she's becoming as an artist. There is something missing though, just a LITTLE BIT more oomph in the chorus I think.
August 12, 201410 yr Thought the pre order would have been higher since it was TOTD and a big 2nd single?! Tbf Most people have just got in from work! Now up to #188, not too sure what's good, bad or indifferent at this stage tbh.
August 12, 201410 yr Author I do doubt this will be #1 just because it is up against Sigma's 'Changing' and I can see that selling well over 130k, whereas I can't see this selling as much as 'Ghost' first week due to not having the big Britain's Got Talent performance to give the pre-order the massive momentum it did to 'Ghost'. Should have a great chance of #2 and will definitely give momentum for the album release.
August 12, 201410 yr I think that pre-order is pretty good considering it was put up today and heard for the first time as well. Yeah, I don't see this quite beating 'Changing' but it'll still do incredibly well.

Then we get the album and single 3, Empire?, for her XFactor performance....
August 12, 201410 yr Heard this on Radio 1 this evening. It's really good. Didn't expect it to like it that much on first listen. Another #1? < Just seen its up against Changes so it won't. Looks to be a brilliant top 2 that weekend! Edited August 12, 201410 yr by Red.
