June 23, 20205 yr This song still reminds me of Jamie Oliver. It was on an advert for Sainsbury's I think, when he was their spokesperson?
June 23, 20205 yr I feel like we don't get a choice if this is a hit or not! It's been all over Instagram/Tik Tok ads for a couple months already, Spotfiy apparently too. I even heard it twice on Heart in the same day! I presume this means Capital will end up supporting it too. I don't quite get it as the original is still very popular and this cover doesn't really add much other than bringing a 2020 sound to it? Funny you should say it's a '2020 sound' considering this version actually dates back to 2018, just only being promoted now for some reason :P (it could easily have come out in like 2014, tropical house's sound stagnated extremely quickly)
June 23, 20205 yr Jubel will be this year's Sam Feldt in scoring an extremely unexpected second UK hit a long time after their first.
June 23, 20205 yr Author Jubel will be this year's Sam Feldt in scoring an extremely unexpected second UK hit a long time after their first. Are you getting confused with 'Jubel' by Klingande? :lol: this is Jubël's first hit
June 24, 20205 yr Are you getting confused with 'Jubel' by Klingande? :lol: this is Jubël's first hit Whoops :kink:
June 24, 20205 yr Funnily Klingande released a tropical house semi-cover of 'Pumped Up Kicks' (called 'Pumped Up') in 2017, and it has 129 million Spotify plays; if this can randomly become a hit now, perhaps 'Pumped Up' could too :P
June 25, 20205 yr Whoops :kink: I made the same mistake! :kink: I could remember the song in my head and was thinking how could they go from something great like that to this. There have been some dire dance covers in recent years but this is potentially the worst? I'm not a massive fan of the Toploader version either, which people are so keen to hear on every single night out and look at you expecting to love it as much as they do.
June 25, 20205 yr There have been some dire dance covers in recent years but this is potentially the worst? It looks like general British public disagree with you. :D It is climbing faster than ever on Apple Music. It is now at #132 there and I think it has climbed some impressive 200 places in just 2 or 3 days.
June 25, 20205 yr I’m a fan of the Toploader version but this is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. They’ve taken a good song and sucked its soul out completely.
June 25, 20205 yr ^thats the rule, thats what they do with these useless dance covers I seriously think there should be a law, and those shouldn't be allowed :D
June 25, 20205 yr I'm leaning towards thinking this is the worst yet example of these dance remakes as well and that's no easy feat as the majority of them have been awful lol ~ the sooner this trend dies the better... (actually it's not the very worst, that title goes to 'The Bender' by Matoma, but it's probably the worst that has charted)
June 25, 20205 yr (actually it's not the very worst, that title goes to 'The Bender' by Matoma, but it's probably the worst that has charted) Oh God I had forgotten about this! :drama: Well I recognised the title and artist but couldn't remember how it went or what was sampled, but I knew I hated it. :lol: Curiosity got the better of me and I've just relistened - yep, it's as awful as I thought and probably does pip this as the worst dance remake.
June 25, 20205 yr Haha. Sorry for re-awakening the repressed memory, I'd like to forget about it as well xx
June 25, 20205 yr Gosh I can't actually get in the car with my Mum (who listens to Heart) without hearing this! How much have they paid for this to be drilled into the UK public's heads? I did think it had a bit more life to it than some other recent 'dance' covers, namely 'ily (i love you baby)' but I'm still not a fan of the original. It also sounds very manufactured and saccharine in particular.
