I was a kim fan since about 2019 when I discovered her music. I thought she would get some support here but the anger against her was over the top I agree with you. Meanwhile ATRL was celebrating every other artist who got a hit with you know who. It was odd but not unexpected. ATRL says they stand for LGBT rights but many of them tend to attack people within the community the most. Its bizarre honestly.

The use of this picture is kinda hysterical 

 

OT: I’m very surprised and must commend them. Can’t hate, they got themselves a hit out of nowhere

[Yog]

This pretty much cements Sam will always be around, sure there have some flops here & there but… they have the appeal to make smash singles & more successful albums in the future (and they are successful since all three are platinum or more)

2022 is such a random year for music

[Dula Peep]

Sam is just one of those singers that doesn’t have a huge celebrity presence and doesn’t seem that popular…but then you see their stats and their streaming numbers and they are way bigger than you thought….

It matters what kinda sound they put out and this one right now is hot. People wanna hear something sexy. 

[Protocol]

It's like a combo of K pop production with a middle eastern sounding melody, anchored by Scandinavian pop sensibility. It sounds BIG. I'm baffled by anyone who is baffled as to why it's a hit.

I just listened for the 1st time and it just sounds really awful. Very annoying sound

 

And of course its only 2.5 minutes 

 

But yeah tastes are different. Good for them I guess.

Also just learned that Kim is German. I'm German and had no idea

Yes, he is massive, and he comes through on streaming.

 

I still don't like the song but I'm so happy for Sam's success, he deserves it.

[dangerousbutera]

Sam has so many songs go viral on TikTok it's cool to see one of their new ones pop off as well. Their Spotify numbers are gonna be (even more) insane by the end of the year.

Exactly. This is the type of trashy pop song that i miss. Sounds like something fromt he early 10's but updated to a more current sound. It's addictive.

Yeah I am very much German.

My nick is mumbled 47. But yeah you are right that f instead of v is a bit weird. Never really noticed that tbh. Thats just how I initially wrote it down
