January 30, 20169 yr I really it. It's exactly what I expected (sounds just like something that could have been on Nick Jonas' album.) It's a shame he said the things he did about One Direction and their music because his solo stuff was always going to be compared, but will be even more so now, and unfortunately so far Zayn's sound is not a million miles away from their sound. But perhaps it doesn't need to be.
January 31, 20169 yr The song has grown on me a lot and I really like it! I still think it really isn't suited to radio as it lacks a proper melody. But yeah, if I can put Zayn's attitude/comments/non-charisma aside, I should enjoy this song for a while. :)
January 31, 20169 yr I wasn't too keen on this originally but it's been in my head a lot too, a strong chorus which definitely outshine the verses but he sounds good on it all. The 'bed all day' bits are my favourite parts but it's quite a good introduction single on the whole, not too far from 1D's sound which is pleasing, hope the album is just as similar yet still a bit more edgy.
February 1, 20169 yr But yeah, if I can put Zayn's attitude/comments/non-charisma aside, I should enjoy this song for a while. :) I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. He may be an idiot but I'd much prefer this going to number one over Fast Car or Work.
February 2, 20169 yr This is ok, a bit meh. Where is this Barbados style accent coming though when he is saying 'its a bed all day' (I can't make out the actual lyric)?
February 6, 20169 yr I'm so pleased it's done so well. I'm not surprised though, everyone i've spoken too this past week won't shut up about how much of a jam it is :wub:
February 7, 20169 yr I am so on board with this now after giving it a little while. He's very much going for a commercialised Miguel sound, as has been said, so it's no real surprise that the track subtly crept up on me and made its mark after several listens. Such a fresh sounding UK #1 single too.
February 7, 20169 yr You know how Madonna apparently used Magnetic Poetry to come up with the lyrics to 'Candy Perfume Girl'? That's what comes to mind when I hear this song.
