May 20, 20178 yr This gets worse with every listen, it's actually embarrassing :lol: It's like a really bad Ed Sheeran tribute, but Ed sort of works the urban sound on songs like Sing and makes it fit him as a person etc, whereas this is just making me cringe.
May 20, 20178 yr The choruses sound like Shaggy It Wasn't Me. It's actually a sample of It Wasnt Me. I checked and all the writers are credited on the song.
May 20, 20178 yr It's actually a sample of It Wasnt Me. I checked and all the writers are credited on the song. Srsly? They could not have made that sample less interesting :lol: This is really rubbish, totally anonymous and devoid of, well, everything really it's that dull. I'm guessing this was one of Ed Sheeran's binned drafts for his own album. Edited May 20, 20178 yr by Chez Wombat
May 21, 20178 yr It's actually a sample of It Wasnt Me. I checked and all the writers are credited on the song. I knew it!!!!!
May 21, 20178 yr They probably wrote it and then recognised its similarity so got the clearance before there was any legal drama after the release.
May 21, 20178 yr This is really underwhelming. :( The vocal and melody on the chorus is basically Shape Of You. The "I used to be in 1D" lyric is cringe - I think everyone knows that Liam!! It just doesn't seem very... authentic. -x- 1. PILLOWTALK 2. Sign Of The Times 3. This Town 4. Strip That Down 5. Just Hold On The top 2 are the only above average tracks though and ones that will be remembered a couple of years later (okay bit too soon to judge Liam's).
May 21, 20178 yr I'm actually not revisiting this much at all oop :( I think I'd shift it down to the bottom of my solo debut single rank now. 1. Sign of the Times 2. Just Hold On 3. This Town 4. PILLOWTALK 5. Strip That Down
May 21, 20178 yr The "I used to be in 1D" lyric I actually really enjoy lmao. But then I'm alone in really enjoying this as a song anyway, it seems! :lol:
May 21, 20178 yr 1 Pillowtalk 2 Just Hold On 3 Strip That Down [it's growing on me...] 4 Sign of the Times 5 This Town I only dislike 'This Town'
May 22, 20178 yr Still loving this three days in. He's performing it on the Graham Norton Show on Friday.
May 22, 20178 yr I really like the sound he's gone for - it's exactly what I expected and he's got the voice for it. The lyrics though... so cringeworthy. The 1D reference is unnecessary and clearly an attempt at creating some controversy.
May 27, 20178 yr I've always generally regarded him as my least favourite member of the band but he came across really well on Graham Norton last night, I thought. He seemed really sweet and I liked how he was able to laugh about the wink at Cheryl the first time they met :lol: I was surprised at how comfortable he was with all of the choreography in his performance too. We've not seen much of that from 1D so I wasn't expecting him to do as much as he did but he pulled it all off with plenty of swagger, it's made the song really grow on me!
May 28, 20178 yr Just saw the performance and I really agree. The most polished performance of them so far. I really don't get why people disregarded him as their least fave member of 1D :lol: (personality/comments in the press aside). I always thought he was the most popular (maybe tied with Harry) member and the most consistent and smoothest vocalist of the group. I really feel like this could be his 'Like I Love You'! Really loving this now. Like, to the point it's creeping up on 'Sign Of The Times' to become my fave single of the solo 1Ders to date!
May 28, 20178 yr As someone who has considered Liam her favorite member since day 1, I'd say he was never the most popular despite, in my opinion, being the most talented. He was usually more towards the middle but now that everyone's gone solo and things are more of a competition, they've kind of dropped him in favor of Harry or Niall (this is what i've witnessed before Liam's song was even out, obviously I'm not referring to the fans who just prefer their music). But regardless, I'm impressed by how steady he is across the board after a whole week. Still #3 on iTunes, #4 on Amazon, #5 on Apple Music and #6 on Spotify. He was #5 on Spotify for the past two days, making him the only 1D solo member since Zayn to reach the top 5 on the chart. So while he may not have had as much initial hype, he seems to be doing okay for himself.
June 2, 20178 yr Not the most original or greatest music video ever, but it does what it needs to and sells the song very well! SO pleased that this is spending a second week in the top 3! I really hope it can somehow get closer to number 1 as I am really digging it right now. Basic af, but what a BOP!
June 3, 20178 yr Been deleted as it was apparently 'leaked'. Should be uploaded again tonight at 7:30. I saw the video before and I have to say it is mega cheesy, embarrassingly so, not enjoyably.
