YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!

 

My absolute fave on the album. :wub:

Ahem, 'Skrt On Me' is just waiting there ready to smash. :mellow: 'Faking It' is my 2nd fave album track though, so decent choice.

 

Was hoping he'd just move on to the start of FWB 2, I can't really see this doing much, as good as it is. Perhaps it'll be as big as 'Pray To God' but that is not a proper hit by Calvin standards.

This sounds like an Urban format only smash but will probably go mid-20's on pop radio just because of exposure

 

Like I NEED Kehlani to get a smash but why couldn't they have just pushed "Rollin'"?

This so good, probably he best choice for a single, but I really can't see it doing much tbh, I'm hoping the hype from Feels can help it tho

Great choice - hopefully "Hard To Love" follows :wub:

I haven't liked any songs from this era and this continues with the same dull formula. I hope he's going back to pop/dance after this era.

The US impact date has been pushed back to October 17 according to the latest Columbia promo newsletter.

Nice! Visualization is pretty, but boring.

I prefer his dance stuff too but let's be real, he needed to do something like this. Stuff like 'This Is What You Came For' (as much as I sometimes enjoy it) and 'My Way' is just showing it was becoming a tired overdone formula whereby he's not putting any real effort in.

 

Maybe taking a break from it and trying something else can help him gather some inspiration.

100% agree, he was starting to produce the same sort of stuff over and over again and it was getting boring, as much as I love TIWYCF and to an extent, My Way, they're nothing groundbreaking or new and it was gonna get old real soon, but this era sounds so fresh and inspired and just so great, it seems like he's enjoying producing now and not doing it like a machine for hits, I hope that he can produce some dance bangers again, but I appreciate this sound so much as well :wub:

TIWYCF and MW are actually two of his absolute best for me, but I do appreciate the new direction.

 

I really can't see this song doing anything though, he needs to come back with a big single early next year.

I like this but it's not really more than a 6/10 for me. Slide still the clear standout from this era for me.

The official release (unless a music video was already shot and/or a standalone release of the track?) will be this Friday.

New version or hopefully some remixes then?

The radio edit of the track is available now.

It doesn’t seem to be doing anything. R1 support and an appearance on the upcoming NOW 98 should give this song a boost

This needs to give Kehlani a hit!!

I’d say this is the best new track out right now. It’s not new to me as I’ve been rinsing the album since June but as a single it’s fresh. LOVE it!
