February 19, 20214 yr well all this time we've known James Arthur was a co-writer and they performed live together so releasing them together was like the logical expectation sure it's a label shenanigan if he's not on it but Tom Brennan is there instead
February 19, 20214 yr Author Perhaps James wanted more money to feature on it, as Ella's on Rudimental's label now rather than Syco
February 19, 20214 yr I suspect Ella’s team have wanted to release this for some time, but James/his label didn’t fancy it. I actually prefer Tom here, James slurring style is beginning to grate on me tbh Interesting what bounce they get from Graham Norton and then Sunday Brunch... (It obviously suits an acoustic treatment more than her recent dance tracks).
February 19, 20214 yr I like Ella Henderson and think she deserves a lot more success than she has been getting. I also love Little Bit of Love by Tom Grennan... so I was up for this duet. I think Ella sounds a bit like Anne-Marie in her bits, which I really doubt would be considered a compliment. It's okay and all well and good... but it's nothing we haven't heard a few thousand times before so I don't think I'll be going back for more in a hurry.
February 20, 20214 yr Smashed that Graham Norton performance! The song brings out both of their voices really well. No. 1 iTunes, doing pretty well on AM and Spotify. Looking good !
February 20, 20214 yr Dream On Me was a million times better than this and deserved to be huge :( The sample wasn’t strong, clear enough imho... This is just a sweet little catchy song, that has some nice vocal qualities - often they do the business’
February 20, 20214 yr Graham Norton performance and interview. h1S0ox3EWks Edited February 20, 20214 yr by Marty
February 20, 20214 yr Well over 50% lead as iTunes #1, so it’s going to sit there for a few days. As of yesterday #48 AM and #194 Spotify, hopefully that should improve a lot the next few days. Any thoughts where this might chart next week? Top 100? Top 40 no chance??
February 21, 20214 yr Dream On Me was a million times better than this and deserved to be huge :( This!
February 21, 20214 yr Author At #17 in today's update - it could become Tom's first top 40 and Ella's first as a lead artist since 'Yours' in 2014!
February 21, 20214 yr Got to admit, I really do like this. Glad it looks like it's doing well so far. Always baffles me when some songs just take off and others float like a stone.
February 21, 20214 yr And #2 today on Big Top 40... Spotify is usually Ella's downfall. And again it isn’t looking great atm. I do think this song will push through though it seems to have a lot of momentum. Right song at the right time and 2 really good vocalists.
February 22, 20214 yr I think the song will build in the coming g weeks and hopefully it can stay top 40 this week.
February 22, 20214 yr When I watched the Graham Norton performance I certainly got Fairytale of New York vibes, which Graham Norton also picked up
February 22, 20214 yr i wonder how this will place her as it's looking to be her biggest solo hit since... like... 'yours' but she's signed to a dance label. i'd love her to have some a really dance-pop solo song. 'dream on me' didn't quite grab me.
