Posted May 11, 20169 yr Now I know the I Am album is criminally underrated as a whole but I really do think "Power" was the true gem of the album and sadly it is probably never going to get the recognition it very much deserves. :( In my opinion, while it isn't the most obvious chart hit, I could see it being used as a film soundtrack (kind of like how 'Happy' was used for Precious) - it particularly would make a fitting soundtrack for the next Avatar movie. :wub: Obviously that's just my opinion though. Is "Power" criminally underrated or am I talking a lot of crap? MBN-2NcAmyE Edited May 11, 20169 yr by Scene
May 11, 20169 yr I don't think so - it's one of the fan favourites from I Am and came 3rd in the album rate. I could definitely see it being used in a film, would be amazing if it was used in a big film and became a massive hit. Edited May 11, 20169 yr by Envoirment
May 11, 20169 yr I think it is in that I think it was probably the biggest likelyhood of a hit off of I Am, and out of all the singles pushed it wasn't considered and didn't get a full performance on tour, was only used in a mash up.

That's what I think. 'Another Love Song' and 'I Got You' overshadowed 'Power' in terms what would have the most hit potential since they're very up-tempo/"dancey". Then, FUMF 'I Am' and 'Thunder' were all chosen as singles. Island wanted 'Ladders' to be released too. I just think there's something really special about 'Power' - it has such an emotional effect on me. :lol: Edited May 11, 20169 yr by Scene

May 14, 20169 yr Author I agree and I feel like Power has the most interesting production too, so feels a bit more contempory, as well as being a big vocal moment that she sounds excellent belting the chorus on! I know! It's quite innovative actually yet the verses are very contemporary and would sound instant on the radio.
