Nothing majestic about this Angel. Nothing interesting sound wise and a bottom of the barrel ballad. Is is clear for you now honey ? 1 1

LustSpell Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) This is gorgeous. "Black girl here, Black girl with the Black girl hair, Took a little sunkiss just to look like this" is one of my favorite lyrics this year Edited August 5, 2023 by LustSpell 4
GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) I’ll be honest. I’ve listened to the song twice and don’t plan on actively listening to it again. This ‘Star/Empire’ season 2-esque music just isn’t what people wanted. At all. The lyrics/message is great but what’s the point if the song itself is mediocre and rather boring? I won’t give up on her just yet because I am genuinely a fan, and I have high hopes for her, but to release this as your debut single in the same year that you’ve been able to score a highly successful film is slightly ridiculous. Come on Halle… If you are going the R&B route then I want some Sade/Toni Braxton/Mary J Blige sounds from you; mature but modern, smooth yet sexy and still radio-friendly. I don’t even think this song will get Urban AC play. Edited August 5, 2023 by GoodGuyGoneGhetto 3
X~MoviePoP Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Im 60% sure halles getting a grammy nom for this 2
humbz Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 I love halle and I loved the snippets she released months ago, but this is a bit too corny and overly dramatic. can't really get into it, but I trust her still. I hope it's just an introduction song.
SchmoodRing Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 i live for the drama. give us vocals and a message. phew she is so brave and sophisticated for coming out with this straight out the gate for her debut
hautiee Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 'Black girl here, Black girl with the Black girl hair' has been playing in my head all day today. I'm not sure if some of y'all in here are just not aware of Chloe x Halle's work (outside of Ungodly Hour and Chloe's solo music) but this is very on brand for their original sound. It seems like everybody on this board is chart obsessed and numbers focused but Chloe nor Halle never really gave those type of vibes. This is a song that is very personal to her and you can tell by her vocal delivery, which makes sense for a debut song. Also to say this song is 'corny or overdramatic' is very tone deaf. Especially with the context of tlyrics and them basically being affirmations Halle had to tell herself when she was faced with so much racism and backlash after the TLM announcement. Then again I get why this song wouldn't resonate with a lot of you... 6 1
Babydoll. Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 love it honestly truly. this is very correct for her as a first solo song 1
bruninho Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 I came here expecting to read a lot of praising, instead I'm reading a lot of nonsense. Vision of Love? Are we listening to the same song? lol I love love love how intense the chorus is, when the song starts you don't see it going that route. Impressive. 1

Superbitch Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 Nanznnxnxnx the contrast between this and her sisters debut Cute but it’s not for me. her voice is
Hooligan Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) I will preface, that everyone has a right to their opinion, but what I don't get are the people calling it boring. How? The way the production slightly changes with each each verse and not to mention the buildup from verse, to prechorus (with harmonies), to chorus. And then the bridge????? i don't understand. It's only with the "boring" comments. If it's not your style, that's fine. But being a majority R&B fan, this hits, and grows with each listen. Edited August 8, 2023 by Hooligan
