This would've been perfect without Khalid.

 

SZA and Post Malone suit it incredibly well, especially Post Malone!

I like Khalid but he really didn't do well here at all. SZA and Post Malone both have great parts.

I was worried that the remix might sound a bit messy and over-crowded but it does really work. I actually think Khalid sounds most at home on this but all three additions slot in pretty well and hopefully the added star power can make this a hit of sorts.

 

I think I'll probably still go back to the original mainly though as it was pretty perfect to begin with and this new version doesn't have enough Lorde for me :heehee:

This remix works pretty well, I was kind of struggling to imagine how a Lorde/Post Malone collaboration would sound but his part does actually fit in fine (though probably the weakest of the 3 features for me, I really liked SZA's verse + I love the Khalid/Lorde chorus *.)

 

Overall not really an improvement on the original or anything but it's good enough for what it is!

I actually really like this, I wouldn't say it's entirely better than the original but I prefer the remix personally. Mainly because without the three features this would likely not have any chart success anywhere, which is fully deserves - features or no features. A fav from the album :heart:

So having finally listened to the remix, it's completely sucked the life out of the song for me. Lorde is barely featured and they completely cut out the final chorus after "Now you know it's really gonna blow"?! What a joke :(

I'm glad you said this cos this is exactly how I feel about it atm! This is so much weaker compared to the original :(

Yep, agreed here too... it's not my absolute fave on the album anyway but the new version doesn't really work for me at all.

Like what exactly is a Post Malone? Are we living in a post-Malone world? I honestly could not think of a less relevant artist to make her more relevant x

Just ha at me x

 

This surprisingly charts at #82 this week! Already slaying "Perfect Places" :lol: :( Hopefully she'll time the video release right this time (if there's going to be one) and Radio 1 will back it up. Still sticking with the original though.

Anyone seeing her on tour? I really want to go but tickets have sold out and 3rd party sites are so expensive :(

nope its so irritating literally if she was performing just a couple of weeks later I would've been able to go :( :(

I saw her live in Brixton a couple years back and she was absolutely phenomenal. I won't be seeing her this time as I have a few artists I'd like to see for a first time really (and now living in a city hopefully makes this possible! :cheer:) but I would 100% urge people to go if they can.

 

I imagine the Melodrama songs would add to the set list immensely too (I'd love to see Perfect Places & Writer In the Dark live especially) :wub:

Sadly the clashing of her & other events means I can’t go! But I saw her at R1 so I’ve seen some ‘melodrama’ tracks brought to life.

Josh I was there too!!!!

 

Going with Lindsey and Liam this Wednesday *.*

Green Light is amazing!

I was at the Manchester concert tonight, not a *massive* fan of her but she’s great to watch live!

 

 

She didn’t do Homemade Dynamite, I’ll be interested to see if it was a Manchester-only decision - she also made a heartbreaking speech about the Ariana incident :heart: - or if she’ll avoid it altogether. I imagine it was just a Manchester set-list decision.

She didn’t do it tonight either!!!!!

^How bizarre. She's performing Live Lounge tomorrow and I would've assumed she would perform that but maybe she'll do "Green Light" instead as her 'current' track?

 

I would have loved to have seen her on tour but I already saw her at Glastonbury which was a *.* moment (and felt like a self contained Lorde concert) although I barely knew Melodrama at the time. Does she use the staging with the see-through tilting box?

she needs the video now, not in 3 months like perfect places

People actually set off a bomb using Homemade Dynamite in London like 2 weeks ago, so I think this'll be the reason she didn't sing it.
