September 1, 20222 yr I'd kind of be here for her doing a Carly and just tapping into the fanbase she has and releasing music she wants rather than chasing hits. But yeah, this is probably my least fave single of hers to date :(.
September 1, 20222 yr It’s good (and better than about 95% of the music currently charting), but it’s on par with album tracks from Heaven and Hell, rather than the best singles.
September 1, 20222 yr really terrible, her worst single ever and very poor poor poor use of the sample
September 1, 20222 yr The song and the video are both dreadful. Why is she so shouty? I also can't believe she copied GaGa's mum-mum-mum-mah from Poker Face. :arrr: Edited September 1, 20222 yr by Voodoo
September 1, 20222 yr This isn’t good. I’m not a fan sadly, probably one of the worst songs she’s released.
September 1, 20222 yr I don't think I've seen a song be this universally panned in so long. :lol: Is the reaction this bad everywhere?
September 1, 20222 yr I don't think I've seen a song be this universally panned in so long. :lol: Is the reaction this bad everywhere? No, the consensus on Popjustice forum is that it’s great/good. A couple are mildly unenthusiastic & the only strongly negative reaction is from our very own Bjork. I’ve not heard it yet but I’m a little surprised by the opposite reactions here vs. there. How intriguing! There’s lots of positive reactions on Twitter too.
September 2, 20222 yr I’ve now heard it and I’ll have to be Team Popjustice. I don’t understand the negativity at all! It’s yet another reliably solid bop from Ava. The best song ever? No, but a perfectly enjoyable pop song to my ears. I’m assuming it’s the “miracle oh oh oh ohhh” part that’s turned some of you off, but personally I like the drama of her vocal delivery… it’s camp! I also appreciate the 80s inspired flourishes throughout. It’s not a sample of Can’t Fight the Moonlight. It has a melodic similarity in the chorus which must have made the team give writing credits to Diane Warren to be on the safe side. That makes it an interpolation.
September 2, 20222 yr I've now heard it a couple of times and it's definitely not as bad as people are making out. As Jay says it's not the best song ever and it's nowhere near HER best, but it does get in your head after a couple of listens. It’s not a sample of Can’t Fight the Moonlight. It has a melodic similarity in the chorus which must have made the team give writing credits to Diane Warren to be on the safe side. That makes it an interpolation. I was coming here to say exactly this! The chorus shares its first few notes with the chorus of CFTM but that's it. If no one told me about the sample I'd have never made the connection.
September 2, 20222 yr I'd say surely 'Who's Laughing Now' is worse than this at least? I'd probably put this bottom rung though.
September 2, 20222 yr Ok so I’ve played this a few times today and it’s grown on me slightly. Still not great but not as bad as I thought it was.
September 2, 20222 yr With these reactions I was expecting MUCH worse! It's a cute bop, nothing groundbreaking but still enjoyed it on first listen.
September 2, 20222 yr My issue with the chorus is I do think the interpolation is immediate... and then it doesn't go where I expected it to, but it doesn't really go anywhere either. The melody is flat.
September 2, 20222 yr Wow it’s actually terrible. I had to switch it off halfway through :/ Literally any of her other songs are better.
