It's much better, more Ellie for a start, but still hugely pop and the chorus is infinitely better, because you know, it's not shit.
Yeah, 'Something In The Way You Move' is much better, I can only really echo what John said, it all just sounds more polished and feels more Ellie while remaining commercial and it's just more melodic than 'On My Mind' most importantly.
Something in the Way You Move is great! :wub: Definitely more classic Ellie than OMM. At this point, I feel it wouldn't have been a better single choice.
Something In The Way You Move is way better than On My Mind, which I do like a fair bit anyway. It's a fantastic blend of Sledgehammer by 5H and classic Ellie, but I agree On My Mind was probably the safer single choice so I can see why they chose it.
Yeah, I know from first listen that I can properly get behind this <3. As has been said, it's a great big pop song which, crucially, doesn't compromise Ellie's distinctive style and quirks. 'On My Mind' is enjoyable enough but still feels a bit jarring/awkward to me. I agree that this is way more polished and actually I think it'd have worked better as the lead single.
Something the way you move is miles better than on my mind and should have been the lead single instead.
Now obsessed with SITWYM! It's hard to see why this wasn't the lead single. Such a big euphoric pop song, yet not compromising on 'classic Ellie' too much, as Noahspike said.

In love with SITWYM, been a long time since I've liked an instant grat this much by anyone, it may even be better than OMM. Very promising signs for the album, hope it's her best yet. This feels like her popstar moment like 1989 but on a much smaller scale.

Wow, I love "Lost and found", it sounds so fresh and light hearted, it's the first "Delirium" track I love on the very first listen.

 

Wow, 'Lost And Found' is the best thing I've heard from her since the original Halcyon. Would not say no to an album of that, though I suspect it'll be annoyingly out of place on this.
Lost and Found is great, just found out it was co-written with Swedish singer Laleh! <3 She needs to write more music for major artists, she has an astonishing ear for a melody.

Her X Factor performance last night has only reinforced my feeling that 'On My Mind' wasn't a good choice of lead single (of course saying this without having heard the rest of the album). Not only does it translate poorly live but it seems that a lot of people aren't keen on the song itself, which doesn't surprise me, and it's not like it could be considered an album seller either. It's a bit like 'Anything Could Happen' in that it's not a particularly accessible or safe lead and is somewhat divisive, except that was much more inventive/interesting and seemed to be a grower for most (I personally adore it by the way), whereas this feels a bit throwaway and certainly underwhelming. The single definitely wouldn't indicate that 'Delirium' is up to the standards Ellie set with 'Halcyon', and I think the album's opening sales weeks won't fulfill their potential as a result. 'Army' getting some exposure will help but I'm not completely convinced on that one either.

 

As for 'Lost And Found', it's nice but a bit corny for me, so overall I'm not as hyped as I'd like to be for the album. :/

 

(Meanwhile, 'Something In The Way You Move' remains glorious <333)
