They need to work with some better songwriters and producers. Get back with Steve Mac and Ina Wroldson who helped write Rockabye and Symphony or Kamille who wrote Solo and Tick Tock with them. And stay away from Topic. Also maybe stay away from the male vocalists. All of their top 10's are female led. Someone like Becky Hill on this track would have made it so much more dynamic.

I really don't see this or any future song by them being a hit. Without support from Radio1, Capital and the big Spotify and Apple playlists there's no chance. I can't begin to imagine how tragic the album will perform when released.

2x Platinum for 'No Lie' today!

Great idea for a thread! For me if a song is ‘generic’ it means there’s nothing special, different or interesting about the production. However, a generic dance track is not necessarily a bad one in my opinion. I’d say Sigala’s recent song Melody is generic as it’s something we’ve heard multiple times before and is very much his usual style of production. However I’d much rather listen to that than say The Motto which everyone seems to rave about but I find rather dull though I wouldn’t consider it generic. I do feel like current popular dance music in general is starting to becoming a bit ‘generic’ and stale. The trend at the minute definitely seems to favour more low-key songs such as Make Me Feel Good, The Motto, Where Are You Now and Where Did You Go. Which just isn’t my vibe. I want a track that’s gonna punch me in the face with the production and the vocals. :lol: But I reckon everyone’s definition will be slightly different. Which just shows how versatile dance music is as well as peoples different tastes!

This has appeared at the bottom end of the Apple Music charts at #190. Seeing as dance tracks do better on Apple Music, seeing if this rises over the next couple of days might be an indication of how it's gonna perform overall.

The song hasn't even been out three days yet. :lol: I doubt they've given up on it already, although not debuting top 100 isn't ideal. They should have got a bigger name on this such as Becky Hill or even Tom Grennan who they wrote the song with. I've got two minds about this song. I like it but can see why people think it's generic and that their music style definitely seems stuck in 2017/18. But then on the other hand compared to some other dance tracks that do well nowadays, it doesn't seem that far off. Like is it that much more generic than the new Jax/MNEK track?

This all sounds very bizarre. Wasn’t she just thanking them last week after her brits win? Weird that it’s happened right at the start of her world tour also. I wonder what went down.

This could be pretty huge if true! I think they’ll sound really good together on a track.

This is really good! Regard just gets better and better with each track!

I’m really liking this. Already the best thing they’ve done since the last album!

2 days to go! I've got high hopes for this after listening to this longer snippet. It'll be interesting to see if this does anything charts wise.

Adele admitted on the Graham Norton that she knew she was going to win an award, which presumably was album of the year seeing as she said for the other two that she wasn’t expecting to win them. Kinda taints the whole point of the awards as I guess part of agreeing to come to the show was if they gave her the biggest award which is disappointing. And Ed probably got a similar deal for the songwriter award.

That first snippet does sound like it could be Normani listening back. I really liked Slowdown and Checklist so I have high hopes if it is another collab between them.

@1491583423923699713 This is what we like to hear! I was beginning to think he was gonna retire from releasing as Calvin Harris.

Did Ed really need to perform twice. Could have had Becky Hill or someone else instead.

Nice! She's really collecting them quick with this being her sixth!

Woo! Glad Becky won it, she was deffo plugging the voting the most!

Why does Adele seem like she wishes she was anywhere but here. :lol:

@1491127529377533953 Calvin is teasing a new track on his insta stories. The vocals sound kind of familiar but I can't put my finger on who it sounds like. Not sure if it's Love Regenerator or not.

Who knows. The EP was supposedly coming in January so clearly the plan changed somewhere along the way. Pre-save link: https://cleanbandit.lnk.to/Everything-But-You
