January 6, 20214 yr This is sublime :wub: I'm pretty gobsmacked that it's looking like it could be a big hit :o
January 8, 20214 yr Debuts at #28 in the UK today! Been supporting her since she first released music MANY years ago and seeing her natural growth through her childhood innocence (in SEE.SZA.RUN and the masterpieces of 'S' and 'Z') to discovering her voice (and achieving HUGE recognition (did someone say 4 Grammy noms?) with 'Ctrl') to this is such an incredible tale. I am so happy for her - she deserves it ALL!
January 8, 20214 yr Yeah I'm thrilled this is looking to be SUCH a huge hit for her, especially that it really doesn't sound like the kind of thing that would typically be a hit either! Everything is so gorgeous - her voice, the hopeful lyrics, the lush chilled production and backing vocals. She's really pulled it out of the bag with this one to create something really special.
January 8, 20214 yr So great to see her doing so well with this! It's quite unexpected too, this is quite like a lot of her older stuff which I didn't think would have that much commercial appeal. I'm glad she's going down this route though, her profile has been raised in the last couple of years and she easily could've gone much more commercial to make the most of it. One of favourite songs at the moment :wub:
January 12, 20214 yr 3rd most streamed song in the US in its 2nd week on the chart! Currently #23 on the Hot 100. In the UK, we are TOP 10 on Spotify (#7) and #15 in the mids!
January 12, 20214 yr Still crazy this is turning into a hit <3 I feel January can be a great time for some unexpected hits when the music market is so barren and people are actively looking for new music after ignoring it for a while! This is Clara Amfo's tune of the week on R1 this week meaning it will get a play every day on her show! Sounded lush on the radio and got some really good feedback from listeners too! Scott Mills was also quite complimentary of it on the chart show when this is not his usual thing.
January 15, 20214 yr So this has really hit me harder than ever this morning! Gorgeous lyrics, production and vocals from both her and Jacob Collier. "All the while, I'll await my armoured fate with a smile" :heart:
January 15, 20214 yr Didn't know that was Jacob Collier providing the backing vocals, poor him not being credited! This song has grown on me massively each time I have listened to it so far, really beautiful stuff. Tbh when 'Hit Different' came out I didn't realise the song in the outro of the music video was actually a different song, thought it was just a beat switch / outro part - I always thought that was the best 'part' of that song so oops that it actually turned out to not be part of it at all
January 20, 20214 yr Top 10 on the Hot 100 (and 2nd most streamed songs of the week)! She has also stated that the music video is coming soon. Her visuals are usually great so I am hyped for this one.
January 29, 20214 yr I just realised CTRL hit a new UK peak of 46 a couple weeks back! I never realised that didn't go top 40 upon release :o :cry:
February 12, 20214 yr I think I'm enjoying this more and more as the weeks roll by. "Half of us chasin' fountains of youth and it's in the present now" :heart: It's done so well but I do wish it could achieve a top 10 peak here.
March 5, 20214 yr Video is finally out ! This is probably up there as one of my favourite songs of the year so far tbh not bored of it in the slightest yet :wub: 2p3zZoraK9g
