January 19, 20178 yr A bit dated but still a bop, Tinashe perfectly suits this sort of throwback sound as does Tinie's flow. It's not as good as Girls Like but that's by FAR his best song since Earthquake so it would have been hard.
January 19, 20178 yr Think it'll be a grower. The love given the Tinashe feature isn't surprising at all but I think the chorus is a little long personally. Maybe a video will improve it... ;)
January 20, 20178 yr I'm not sure about this. Doesn't sound like the big hit Tinie needs to drop the album off of.
January 20, 20178 yr Nope, I think this is going to be another flop for him. It's really not hit sounding at all. I love Tinashe so much but her voice just doesn't suit this. I don't know what it is but her voice sounds basic and almost flat throughout. Ahhh, sad as I wanted another hit for her and thought with Tinie's name attached she could do it.
January 20, 20178 yr Have heard it a couple more times now and I can't stand it. Terrible. Catching Flies is alright though!
January 20, 20178 yr Really liking Text from Your Ex! Very catchy, and it definitely sounds like a hit to my ears.
January 21, 20178 yr Text From Your Ex is good and catchy but I prefer the other one. Great beat and very chilled out :)
January 23, 20178 yr Release date has changed again to 31st March. He should stop doing that or it will ruin sales for his album and if it's being moved to 31st March, he'll get blocked by Ed Sheehan
January 23, 20178 yr I'm starting to smell his desperation, and it's not pretty. No doubt he's gone off to find another 'smash' to launch the album with. He might as well just put it out, it's not as if his last album set the world on fire, and I doubt anybody is expecting this one to. Edited January 23, 20178 yr by gooddelta
January 24, 20178 yr Author Just listening to 'Text from Your Ex' and it immediately sounded like Snoop Dogg's 'Signs' ("I got a text from your ex, boy" / "Are you telling me this is a sign?"). Suppose it worked for '24k Magic'!
January 25, 20178 yr I think maybe it's a case of hoping the single will be higher in the chart by that point?
January 27, 20178 yr I actually adore Text From Your Ex and I'm really shocked by the negative reaction :o I love the throwback sound, Tinashe rocks the chorus and Tinie's verses are fun too! It's probably already in his top 3 of mine already behind Not Letting Go. I do hope it grows into a bigger hit than low top 40 smash :(
January 28, 20178 yr Yeah it's not a bad track (a LOT better than his last two horrific singles) but still such a far cry from his first & especially second album quality.
January 29, 20178 yr Really liking Text from Your Ex! Very catchy, and it definitely sounds like a hit to my ears. Same here. But why do a lot of people here don't? <_<
