Rainbow Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 23 minutes ago, TrueBlood said: You only live once sweetheart, relax. Anyway, she’s back giving the gays what they want which is, IMO, her only chance at having a successful career. Is it her best song ever? FAR from it, it’s still on the low side of her capabilites, but it’s definitely her best song since Coconuts and easily her best chance at having some sort of hit. It would have been better for her if she had released this right after Unholy tho. I don’t mind the production at all, I actually think that a whole record with this vibe could potentially be good. But I’m gonna be honest here and say that if Dr. Luke had produced this it would have been MUCH better. It feels like they tried to replicate it tho, the song borrows a lot from Clarity’s era (from the vibrato vocals to the Weeknd influence). It just lacks a bridge of some sort, 30 more seconds would have elevated this. Seems like her label distanced her from him again after that whole Twitter drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxMartin Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm sorry but Luke might be a super producer but he's not that good with melodies without the swedes. This has a very good melodies. You can tell it's MXM team. This is badly mixed, I will give you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaky Prince Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It misses like half of a song. A bridge and a last chorus. Feels like it ended way too quickly. But' it's a bop Still patiently waiting for HIFTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlood Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 One thing is for sure this time. If this flops, we can’t blame the song. To me, it sounds like a hit. They need to promote this. There’s also a SNL rumour going on, hopefully it turns out to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada2387 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Loved the clip and was not disappointed with the full song. Nice one Kim! Another bop in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 It's definitely better than "IJWAR", not like that particular bar was set very high, but it feels like a blatant "Unholy" redux from the SOPHIE-lite production to the single cover featuring the same expression. She needs to take a leaf out of Miley's book and go back to basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leightxn Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I like it Not sure if it's lead material tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastoisebaby Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 NO! THis is an actual hit. I haven’t heard Kim like this in a min. It reminds me of Britney’s Blackout era for some reason ,obvs the Sophie references. But the pre-chorus is where it is AT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchpop Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 In a perfect world, she would have released Icy as the LEAD single of her debut album with this tagged along as a B side, and it would have smashed and been a solo #1 which would have launched into an amazing debut Clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottageHore Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Meh. It’s okay. I like the sonic direction of this one but 2.5 minutes? It could be one of her best songs if she made it longer and went experimental with it at the end with big ad libs and a huge outro like on Unlock It. She needs to quit with these insanely short songs. Radio isn’t playing her no matter what and nobody is streaming babe so plz just serve us quality full-length bops like you used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
