I wanted to love it....

 

I really hope it grows but I thought it was going to pack more of a punch :/

 

Eltons voice is so heavily distorted in parts it sounds a bit weird.

Same, it's decent but I'm not wowed by it on first listen. I'm not getting "best Britney has ever sounded!" from it either, the vocals are rather processed - not that they sound bad, it's obviously a style choice - but this has definitely been overhyped.

Here's the full article those tweets are taken from! - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/aug/...re_b-gdnculture

 

It's so great that Elton has been so encouraging and believes in her fully, and also how Britney was in command in the studio while recording it - hopefully this alongside commercial success will help to rebuild Britney's confidence. She deserves everything. :wub:

 

I heard the demo version a couple of times when it leaked but I didn't want to overplay it, so I've been patiently waiting for today's release. I love it! :wub: It's such a breezy chilled song, perfect for the end of summer. Britney sounds really good - those runs at the end of the track are beautiful!

 

The instant playlist support is a great sign of things to come. To me it sounds like a smash and hopefully it will be!

This is such a nice breezy summer tune. Would have liked more solo parts for each like cold heart did but you can still hear both at least and the ad libs are nice. Hopefully an extended mix comes out at some point as it does feel a little short.
I think she sounds great, really loving it, yeah I wish Elton was featured a little less and wish Britney was credited as the main artist but still hope it smashes
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this. Was a bit underwhelmed when I saw that her first song back was a cover remix with Elton John. But… just gave it a first listen on Spotify and I think it sounds great. Such a cute photo too. Seems kinda poetic actually taking a step back in time when she was fearless and confident. Obviously I’ve just purchased it on itunes and will give it my allocated lot of streams.
Oh and I’m for sure enjoying the ad libs - go Britney. I hope it creates more than enough hype and leads to a solo project for Brit #dreaming

Do we think this could be number 1 in the uk and America? As soon as I woke up this morning this was what I listening to and absolutely love it 🔥🔥

 

Very nice of Ed Sheeran.

A version including Ed could appear later.

 

Let’s not ruin a good thing. Perhaps he can just appreciate something without having to get involved and make it all about him.

 

But mark my words, an Ed/Britney collaboration is probably already in the works.

Really wish Tyler & Luciano were here to witness this rebirth.

 

:cry: me too.

 

I wasn’t too enthused by this as Tiny Dancer is far from my favourite Elton song and I find it incredibly overrated however I am quite enjoying this. It’s nice to see Britney back and I’m always here for legacy artists having big hits again so hopefully this will do well.

Elton sounds dreadful in this. Time for him to retire now!

It’s his original vocal from 1971 according to the producer so… :lol:

I'm more happy this exists and looks possibly like being a hit for the artists rather than the song itself. It's Cold Heart Part II but not quite so 'cool' as Tiny Dancer is just a bit naff as an original song. Will need to give it a few more goes and I'm glad radio support is great for it!

:clap: :clap:

 

Bear in mind most people are JUST waking up in the US (her biggest market)... I can see this being huge. I'm still not sure it's gonna debut as high as everyone else seems to think it will, but it's gonna peak later in it's run.
