Most unlikely combo of the year, not complaining though hope its a huge hit!

Sounding like a pretty boring ballad unfortunately :/ I hope AYEW isn't the "Pink Lemonade" of the album

A ballad maybe, but it doesn’t sound too boring to me.

It sounds promising, I don't see how you can say it's boring from that clip? Unless you think all ballads are boring? I bet there's a big production build up and some big vocals in the bridge/end of the song. *_*

I don't mind a ballad, but they're not the sort of songs I look forward to most! Just a personal thing though of course

Think both voices sound amazing on that clip, he certainly has some amazing production on his new songs so far!

very very promising, their vocals seem to match very well

 

Here's what the OCC have to say about it - https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/r...preview__32857/

 

espite our initial surprise, a Rag’n’Bone Man and Pink collaboration actually makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? Recent years have seen Pink drift further into Nashville-styled folk-pop, while Rag’n’Bone Man – already known for his bluesy soul sound – physically took himself to the Tennessee capital to infuse the city's country sounds into his new album.

 

While the two are a foolproof pairing on paper, the real success of their new single, titled Anywhere Away From Here, is that it manages to exceed expectations.

 

Following Rag'n'Bone Man's rousing single All You Ever Wanted, we’re in ballad territory here – and this is proper balladry of the heart-tugging, goosebump-inducing kind. Production is stripped back to little more than a piano, allowing the emotional grit and growl in each of their vocals to take full flight - as you'll hear in the teaser below:

 

As you might expect, Anywhere Away From Here very much wears its heart on its sleeve, lyrically speaking. “When the lights go up/ I don’t think I told you… That I feel out of place,” they sing. “Pull me underground/ Don’t know if you notice/ Sometimes I close my eyes and dream of somewhere else.”

 

Written by Rag’n’Bone Man, along with Ben Jackson-Cook, who he collaborated with on much of his new album Life By Misadventure, plus Simon Aldred, Dan Priddy and Mark Crew, the track is, in Rag’s words, about “wanting to disappear from uncomfortable situations - about the vulnerabilities that we all face.”

 

Pink, meanwhile, says "Anywhere Away From Here couldn’t be a better song for us to sing together," revealing that she's been a fan of Rags since 2017's Human. "By then I had already fallen in love with his voice, and when we met in person I quickly learned he has a beautiful soul, too,” she adds.

 

Anywhere Away From Here is released on Friday (April 9) and features on Rag'n'Bone Man's forthcoming album Life By Misadventure, which following on May 7.

Excited! *_* I hope it's a massive hit.

It’s incredible ... I’m so impressed. It’s broken me!

I love it. Not sure it’ll be a hit though, not in the streaming era.

He found it hard to trouble the streaming charts with the huge airplay hit that was the first single so yeh can see this struggling, maybe will do well once the albums released next month!

Not doing much for me unfortunately, but I'm glad those here are liking it

 

This is lovely! I can easily see it doing very well.

It’s the kind of song that would have been massive 5-10 years ago and will do well on iTunes (already no.1) but this style of ballad often struggles on streaming and both artists have mediocre streaming success at best. I think it will go top 40 but probably no higher.

The last chorus could of done with being bigger but I quite like it but I still prefer ‘All You Ever Wanted’. I might like the solo version better that’s also on the album as P!nk kind of takes over a bit.

I think P!nk pretty much makes it tbh, their voices go really well together. As T Boy said, it would have been huge a few years back but I'm not seeing it getting the streams it will need to do well these days.

This has got off to a reasonably good start on streaming, it's already #80 on Apple Music and it's not even been out for a full day yet. I wouldn't immediately write it off. Pretty sure that's quite a bit higher than 'All You Ever Wanted' was at this stage.

They both aren't known for being streaming giants, but it's not like they haven't both performed decently on streams before in their own right. I think this has every potential to catch on in the same way 'Let's Go Home Together' has!

Like with anything it'll come down to the playlisting really
