Dua’s will help this a lot, I think it could’ve been a hit without her but there’s no way Calvin would be challenging for a #1 debut without Dua
That's very true^ What a difference a couple of years makes when it Dua herself relying on features (Scared To Be Lonely, No Lie) for hits!
I think this is really great, definitely grows with repeated listens and it's SO early 00s which is brilliant as (going by the current dance tracks in the top 10 which I happened to hear yesterday) we really need a different style of dance.
Definitely get zero Marina vibes from this. Not sure how you could say they are similar at all...

 

It’s vety late nineties/early noughties one hit wonder dance/garage act and I’m here for it

 

The production and the beat feel like something that could have been recorded for FROOT. It's so simple and feels like a FROOT/Blue mash up.

 

After a few listens this is growing on me but definitely isn't as instant as New Rules or Calvin's output (MW, TIWYCF, etc).

To be clear I didn't really mean it doesn't sound like Dua Lipa, I just mean it sounds like it could be anyone. It doesn't really have much of Dua's 'sound' to it.
Exactly :lol: Of course it's gonna be a dance song which isn't what Dua is known for, it's not gonna produced by Calvin Harris for his era and be a pop song. It's good to hear her on something different without it being plonked on the album sounding weird for the sake of variety, a feature is the perfect opportunity for that.
US garage is a thing?

 

Yes. Garage originated in the US. Garage house to be exact. UK garage is a spin-off.

Robin S, Joey Negro, Ultra Nate, Blaze, are some examples.

I’m seeing a lot of promo out and about, digital billboards in London.

#1 on iTunes, #3 on Apple Music.

 

Drake will probably overtake though.

But this is Calvin's single though so obviously it would be more Calvin sound than Dua per se!!!

 

Is it? They're jointly credited so one would assume this is a collaboration, not a feature.

I mean it is but it’s similar to Sigala and Paloma Faith having equal billing even though it’s very clearly to Sigala’s style and not at all Paloma’s typical.

It's only jointly credited to increase Spotify exposure (ie. it will appear as Dua's "newest release" on her Spotify page), this tactic has been used a lot in the past year or so! See also: Kygo & Selena Gomez, Zedd & Alessia Cara, Mabel & Not3s, etc

UK garage is a completely different genre though, and uses a different style of beat.

 

I still think there is definitely a bit of a UK garage vibe to 'One Kiss' in the instrumental. Two Lips's singing style reminds me of Jorja Smith in 'On My Mind' too.

I prefer this to anything from Funk Waves Bounce but it’s still a bland track. He has done so much better as well and now seems to be just releasing generic crap.
Enters at #62 in the US, not bad considering it'd be 10 places higher without all the Cardi tracks. #19 on Spotify there too so it should be a big hit. :D
