June 11, 20214 yr I really thought Afterglow was gonna be the template of his new music, cos he always talks about his musical heroes and those are people releasing grown up music for grown up people, it's not people releasing idiotic duets with Justin Bieber and Cardi B, so I imagined he'd finally grown up and would release more adult-oriented music... but alas looks like he's back into silly music territory once more, he's 30, maybe it's time to stop pretending he's 14 and writing like if he were a teenager starting high school :D Where have you heard the song?
June 11, 20214 yr I honestly see this sounding more poppy/synth-heavy. Still don’t know if I’ll like it though.
June 11, 20214 yr Author A short clip of (presumably) the chorus has leaked - sounds really good! It's got a club beat throughout with an acoustic guitar + synths.
June 11, 20214 yr A short clip of (presumably) the chorus has leaked - sounds really good! It's got a club beat throughout with an acoustic guitar + synths. Very short clip, but you’re right - sounds very promising.. it’s absolutely going to be a big hit (not that it was ever in doubt)
June 13, 20214 yr I'm here for new ed, if it's anything like castle on the hill sign me up. It would be interesting if Good 4 U is still managing over 700,000 streams come then and if Ed will be able to counter that following the performance of 'Afterglow'.
June 13, 20214 yr depending on how far england get in the tournment, there's a strong chance that three lions might block Ed!
June 13, 20214 yr A CD single is also out on release day Wonder if this could cause it to leak early...
June 17, 20214 yr Author A preview has been posted to his TikTok! The bass sounds like it'll absolutely slap
June 18, 20214 yr but his vocals sounds SO weird, unrecognisable , might have done something weird to his vocals in the studio
June 18, 20214 yr Yeah the snippet weirdly doesn't sound like him. Maybe that's why I'm liking it :lol:
June 18, 20214 yr Yeah it sounds nothing like him and more like what I would expect Ed on a dance feature to be like. I don't know what I was expecting but it sounds awfully generic, but then I guess "I Don't Care" and "Shape Of You" were hardly innovating.
June 18, 20214 yr Number #1 til September sorted I'd say, but who's singing? sounds like Liam Payne :D
June 18, 20214 yr I wasn't expecting such a bass heavy chorus! Does anyone know who he's worked with for this album on production?
