November 14, 20195 yr This is great. She's really coming along as an artist. Give it 18 months and she'll be on FKA twigs' level of artsy lol
November 14, 20195 yr This is great. She's really coming along as an artist. Give it 18 months and she'll be on FKA twigs' level of artsy lol Hang on — don't get too crazy. But yes, this is wonderful.
November 14, 20195 yr Except her label would never let her be that "artsy" aka non commercial in a million years. Fabulous production. I'm loving it a lot and will love it more in headphones I'm sure!
November 14, 20195 yr Gorgeous :wub: :heart: I wasn't a big fan of the slower songs on the album, but this gets it right.
November 14, 20195 yr At the risk of sounding approx 10000 years old, it took me so long to 'get' her. I was only really a fan of 'Ocean Eyes' and 'Bellyache' from her previous singles, but this has got me fully on board. Just a gorgeous song; melody, lyrics, vocals -- everything! Here for this smashing over the Winter period.
November 14, 20195 yr Except her label would never let her be that "artsy" aka non commercial in a million years. I'd still say 'when the party's over' and 'bury a friend' were pretty uncommercial songs tbh (maybe not so much 'bad guy' though). Definitely compared to everything else in the charts at least. But I wouldn't place most of FKA twigs' singles as being radically more out there than those songs.
November 15, 20195 yr I've just been reading up on the lyrics and what a moving, poignant song this is. One half is Billie's meditation of fame through the guise of a dream in which she's drowning and no-one cares to help, then the other half highlights an unbreakable sibling bond, a reminder of what is important in the quest for fame. It's a powerful song to hear from a 17-year-old - firstly, to hear their struggle with fame and their recount of committing suicide in a dream and, secondly, to hear them recognise the special bond between siblings, something I don't think most people truly value at such an age. I think this could easily soon become my favourite from Billie out of the few tracks I have heard.
November 15, 20195 yr don't think so, the song credits are just Billie + her brother I don't find the song as instant as everybody seems to, heard it 5 times and cannot recall how it goes, hope it grows
November 15, 20195 yr straight at #1 in US Spotify and #3 in the UK could it go to #1?? Edited November 16, 20195 yr by Bjork
November 19, 20195 yr This is stunning, already liking it more than everything else she's released in the past 2 years :wub:
November 20, 20195 yr Fabulous production. I'm loving it a lot and will love it more in headphones I'm sure! Can confirm this - I first heard this on Radio 1 on the First Look chart and I thought it sounded pretty good but hearing it again with headphones just now it's sounding 10 times better, really gorgeous and captivating song. :heart: I can definitely see this becoming one of my favourite songs from her with a few more listens (I think 'when the party's over' is still my favourite at the moment closely followed by 'you should see me in a crown' and 'WHEN I WAS OLDER').
November 25, 20195 yr This is great, up there with her best ("When The Party's Over", "Bury A Friend"). "Bad Guy" never massively did it on those levels for me.
