November 19, 20195 yr Stormzy vs. Harry Styles that week... Interesting. Both could be denied the #1 album of course, depending on what’s selling well in the run up to Christmas.
November 19, 20195 yr Interesting times - December the new November in terms of big releases since the albums market collapsed!
November 20, 20195 yr Why the flipping heck is Sounds of the Skeng not on it? That song really heightened my anticipation for the album. I can only imagine it doesn't fit with the rest of the songs (bad) or he has done another similarly intense grime banger that blows it out of the water (good). Has he written it out of history because it underperformed a bit? Wiley Flow did worse but that was more of a promotional single. Edited November 20, 20195 yr by Hiyaluv
November 20, 20195 yr 'Sounds Of The Skeng' being left off while 'Wiley Flow' made it on does seem a bit weird, if anything the latter felt more like a throwaway loose single. It may just be that he's completely abandoning grime for the album I guess which would be a shame. That list of features does not really fill me with much hype for this album, although I am looking forward to hearing the Ed collab (and of course Stormzy has plenty of great songs without features anyway).
November 22, 20195 yr I like both Ed and Burna Boy's contributions to this but I think Stormzy himself lets it down unfortunately. I just don't really care much for him on songs like this (reminds me a bit of 'Shine Girl' with MoStack which I didn't like at all, this is better than that but it's still just decent on first listen, definitely the weakest of the singles he's dropped this year on first impressions).
November 22, 20195 yr Not feeling Own It. I can't bear Sheeran anyway but this just sounds like countless other forgettable landfill urban songs that have hung around the bottom reaches of the Top 40 for a month or so over the past couple of years. I wanted to like it! Starting to feel much less excited about this record :-(
December 9, 20195 yr Stormzy, I'm guessing he'll be doing his utmost to get the Xmas double won't he after what happened with 'Shut Up'.
