June 20, 20214 yr Author Loving this, particularly the title track and Shade of Yellow. :wub: Walk is giving me 1989 Taylor! I feel like this is a strong enough body of work for it to have more than mix-tape status, but it does make me excited for what the future holds for Griff. *.* It currently has a score of 95 on Metacritic! *Orders the vinyl*
June 20, 20214 yr Her voice is gorgeous! I'd like to hear her on a dance track by Gorgon City or somebody like that.
June 20, 20214 yr Really liking this, all the tracks are solid and it's a great listen overall :heart: Loving 'Earl Grey Tea' particularly from the songs we haven't heard, it's stunning. Edited June 20, 20214 yr by Lunar
June 22, 20214 yr A strong collection of songs but I understand now why they’ve gone for this mixtape, rather than a full album. It feels very much a continuation of the Mirror Talk EP, almost to the point where it feels a couple of songs are sampling Mirror Talk tracks. There’s nothing as strong as Black Hole but One Foot in Front of the Other, Remembering My Dreams and Earl Grey Tea are my other standout faves. I’ve really loved her output so far though, such an exciting popstar that’s emerging. She’s so talented, such strong hooks and her involvement with the production side of things in particular is great. I’m glad y’all are finally paying attention to her after my thread last year passed without comment -_-: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=237048 Say It Again still remains such a strong fave but Sound of Your Voice, Forgive Myself and 1,000,000 X Better are all incredible too.

I definitely need to check out her older stuff! I only started paying attention when I heard Black Hole back in January. I heard her track with Zedd earlier today and I quite like it (I checked out the BuzzJack thread for that single and it was full of hate, oop)
June 23, 20214 yr really liking Shade of Yellow, will have to check her other EP, didn't know about it
June 26, 20214 yr Author In at #4 in the UK :wub: So pleased for her! It sold 5,436 copies. A week earlier (which was the original release date) and that would have only got her to #9 :o Very well timed!
June 26, 20214 yr So happy she got #4! I really hope she doesn't end up being one of those artists who only has one hit and struggles otherwise. She is so talented and this EP is one of my favourites this year so far, so glad I decided to impulsively buy tickets to see her on tour later this year before Black Hole was even a big hit.

The Zedd song is the only one I dislike and can’t get into oops
June 30, 20214 yr Author Interestingly the version of Walk on her YouTube channel is different in terms of production and her vocal take! jPI2RrKOU3g Also Black Hole went Silver :wub: @1408427257941696514 I didn't realise her mixtape was only 198 sales behind #3, a pity it didn't quite do enough to go Top 3! Predictably its falling quite harshly in week 2, it was midweek #49 yesterday.

Predictably its falling quite harshly in week 2, it was midweek #49 yesterday. I thought she'd have held up a lot better than that! Especially as it already has one decent sized hit and another new single gaining traction.
June 30, 20214 yr Author I thought she'd have held up a lot better than that! Especially as it already has one decent sized hit and another new single gaining traction. Yesterday she was on 943 sales (477 Physicals, 363 Streaming, 103 Downloads) but unfortunately that level of streaming isn't very strong. There's 39 albums above her that have higher streaming sales, even just the album that is 34th out of those 39 has more than double Griff's streams. :( So that pushes her down.
June 30, 20214 yr It doesn't help for her streaming sales that the project only has 7 songs, even if all of them were getting decent streams she'd still be at a disadvantage just because of it falling short of the permitted number of songs that can contribute to an album's streaming numbers. (As it were she's falling into the issue of having 2 songs with much, much higher streaming numbers than everything else anyway - 'Black Hole' and 'One Foot In Front Of The Other' both top 100 on Apple but none of her other songs are even top 1,500 for example - so that of course translates to fairly negligible overall numbers since the top two tracks have their numbers neutered).
July 4, 20214 yr Just head Shade of Yellow for the first time and it doesn't come close to Black Hole tbh.
July 4, 20214 yr Author Still a great song in its own right though :heart: I think it's really warm sounding, it's gorgeous.
July 17, 20214 yr Author Chart run: 4-67-142-191... Even though that doesn't look great, I'm actually surprised it's managed to stay in the chart for 4 weeks. The Top 200 is stuffed with heavily streamed Greatest Hits/old studio albums, so it's kind of hard for artists such as Griff without major streaming success to hang around in this chart for too long (particularly because physical sales are so frontloaded).
August 19, 20213 yr Author 'One Night' will be released on 26th August! https://fpt.fm/app/30075/griff?ref=https%3A//t.co/
