June 18, 20214 yr I honestly see this sounding more poppy/synth-heavy. Still don’t know if I’ll like it though. What can I say? I’m a psychic I guess
June 20, 20214 yr This actually sounds really good and I'm looking forward to it. Thing is, he is talented and he can be good. I liked a few of his pre-Divide songs. He just needs to stop making MOR radio songs that sound like a 7-year-old writing a love letter.
June 25, 20214 yr As much as I like it I admit it’s not one of his best, judging after one listen anyway. It kinda sounds like a remix of an Ed song It’ll be #1 everywhere I’m sure buutttt I’m sceptical how successful the rest of this era will be if the remaining songs follow suit
June 25, 20214 yr The synth melody in this sounds like Jubel's version of "On the Beach" 8Ki7_lewfYI Edited June 25, 20214 yr by hlavkus
June 25, 20214 yr It’s good but it doesn’t hit as hard as I thought it would. It sort of goes nowhere vocally...
June 25, 20214 yr agree, well it's the same as the snippet, not much more going on... worst thing are the vocals, mostly cos it sounds like if Liam Payne replaced him :D as previously said, it will be #1 for 10 weeks cos it's gonna get heavy support on playlists more than anything, I cannot see it as something that prompts people to go buy an album...
June 25, 20214 yr It’s alright but I was waiting for it to build up to something or go a bit harder, but nothing. I don’t think I can see this doing as well as his previous leads.
June 25, 20214 yr as previously said, it will be #1 for 10 weeks cos it's gonna get heavy support on playlists An overreaction much? :lol:
June 25, 20214 yr Everyone surprised an Ed Sheeran track isn't a hard dance banger :unsure: I love this btw
June 25, 20214 yr It really does sound huge, an instantly catchy summer earworm although maybe partly because I feel like I already know it due to all the preview clips, though in the era of on air, on sale this seems to be a good way to drum up hype and awareness of a single pre-release. The instrumental reminds me of September’s Cry For You, he really can turn his hand to any genre successfully! I have no doubt it will be No.1 for weeks after hearing it and seeing the video, but I agree it’s not much of an album selling song, I expect he’s got something more mature like Castle On The Hill next before the album comes out, which will presumably be nearer to Q4.
June 25, 20214 yr Love this, definitely a chilled summer vibe like Lee said. Can see it being huge for him.
June 25, 20214 yr The song is pretty good but where exactly is his artistry these days? This could be sung by anyone from Bebe Rexha to Liam Payne, it's like a complete radio and playlist filler (and not in a bad way as it works).

This could be sung by anyone from Bebe Rexha to Liam Payne, it's like a complete radio and playlist filler (and not in a bad way as it works). He's a hit machine. The industry is a completely different place to 2010 and if you want a hit, you've got to make one for the Spotify era, and even in the past 4 years so much has changed too, heck even since he released the Collabs project in 2019. Like goodelta says, I suspect he has more mature stuff on his album.

Like how 'Shape of You' was to Divide I suppose.
June 25, 20214 yr On first listen, its actually pretty good I quite like it, probably rake in big sales to begin with, great tune for the summer, I can see this doing pretty well in the chart, I should imagine it could stick around at #1 for at least 5 weeks or more, really depends if Adele or Rihanna releases any time soon :lol: mind you we all been saying that for a while now
