That's because Ed Sheeran co-wrote it.

 

True, I thought it was I Can't Fall in Love Without You, but you're right.

 

Apparently now TG4M is the strongest performing non-single, which I predicted, it is my personal favorite non-single from the album! I'm really hoping for it as the final single, so underrated.

Listening to the album for the first time on spotify. Good album for me. Like quite a few of the album tracks.

 

Just finished it. Really like it will definitely be listening to it again :)

 

The ballad Ed Sheeran co-wrote with Zara is better than all the ones on Divide aswell lol.

Edited by Red.

Debuts at #7 with 15k sold. Not any worse than I was expecting but it's down to #30 in the midweeks :( Hopefully streaming can get her back into the top 25 by Friday.

 

This album has majorly grown on me! I think I actually like every song apart from 'So Good' (still can't get over her releasing that to launch the album. :mellow: )

My album rank:

 

01 Symphony (with Clean Bandit)

02 Never Forget You (with MNEK)

03 Ain't My Fault

04 Lush Life

05 Only You

06 Funeral

07 So Good

08 One Mississippi

09 I Would Like

10 Don't Let Me Be Yours

11 What They Say

12 I Can't Fall in Love Without You

13 TG4M

14 Sundown

15 Make That Money Girl

 

The Top 6 are excellent with 'So Good' (yep, that's right) and 'One Mississippi' being very good too. 'Don't Let Me Be Yours' is actually growing so I can accept it being a single, even if 'Funeral' is crying out to be released (this one is bound to go from strength to strength in my affections). 'Make That Money Girl' is the only song that I'd say I didn't particularly like; 'TG4m' and 'Sundown' are only let down by some annoying production in parts; 'I Can't Fall in Love Without You' is nice but doesn't evoke as much emotion as I feel it is trying to.

Funeral genuinely is SO good (unlike the title track </3).

 

The chorus is fantastic and the production is absolutely stellar, the chord structure in the verses and later choruses reminds me of parts of JX's Nothing I Won't Do, just a lot more mellow than that <3 The strings make it so wonderful too.

 

I'm still really loving the majority of this album personally!

Kind of going against what I seem to suggest from my previous post but, whilst it's a solid debut album, as Joe said, it suffers from having released so many singles pre-album (aside 'So Good', these have all been praised as being among the best too) so there's not much more to explore with the album. Also, I find it quite a very divided listen, in the sense that I can feel myself going "these are the singles and these are the album tracks" when it should be a more cohesive listen with a good flow from track to track. Again, this will be largely down to releasing so many pre-album singles.

Already back in the Top 10 with two days of sales left!

'So Good' has been discounted on USA iTunes and it's climbed from out of the 200 to #35 right now, I couldn't imagine the amount of success Zara would he having right now had she had TG4M or Symphony as the single promoting the album.

 

Current UK iTunes Positons

02. Symphony

62. I Would Like

166. I Would Like

465. Never Forget You

466. Girls Like

The album has done fairly well worldwide.

 

I wonder if we could get a new single before October as she's touring around the UK. I'm guessing she will have another massive guest feature coming up soon.

She's working on her new album already. MNEK is on board again, can't wait :wub:
