tbhmatt Posted March 29 Posted March 29 (edited) #6 on The Pop List and Leigh is also on the cover #2 on All New All Now and Leigh is on the cover of that playlist too #8 on R&B Connect #5 on Groovin' R&B I really wasn't expecting this to get any playlist support so I'm pleasantly surprised!

WERKER Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Not an EP being dragged out over 5 months. That means no chance of an album this year. Also if they were going to release a video it needed to be released today for a chance of charting! Playlisting is optimistic. Time will tell. 1

Her label sending out cheques!
goldstargay Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I love that she gave us 3 totally different sides to her with each single -- I do think they could have had a more cohesive rollout, started out with a LOVE tringle (credit JoJo) and then begin a proper album era. 3
tbhmatt Posted March 29 Posted March 29 (edited) Also added to Channel X, Easy and R&B Weekly playlists on Spotify too, the reception this has gotten so far on social media has been overwhelmingly positive, I'm so pleased for her! Edited March 29 by tbhmatt
MusicIsMyMaster Posted March 29 Posted March 29 THIS IS SO GOOD i literally cant handle it her vibrato at the beginning, the melody , the harmonies AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 1
zeta Posted March 29 Author Posted March 29 The more I listen to it, the more I enjoy it. Her tone SHINES in these type of songs, while in Don't Say Love and even My Love, her voice suits them, she's sang pop records for 10 years, but this is new and it suits her.
tbhmatt Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Yes, I think for me this is her best song so far. It's not perfect (I think the song really suffers without a bridge or a really strong final chorus, even repeating the chorus twice at the end with more layered vocals would have been effective) but this is absolutely the musical lane she should hone in on. It suits her voice perfectly and it actually sets her apart from Little Mix sonically, which is something she needs.
tbhmatt Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Spotify Playlist support: Channel-X (1.7m) - #20 R&B Weekly (1m) - #6 Who We Be (980k) - #61 R&B Rising (49k) - #16 The Pop List (745k) - #6 + cover All New All Now (544k) - #2 + cover R&B Connect (198k) - #8 teen beats (2.1m) - #20 Groovin' R&B (87k) - #5
WERKER Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I read somewhere, was it Reddit about people celebrating how well this was doing on Brazil iTunes. It had 18 sales in 24 hours Sales are in the gutters so not commenting about the number of sales, just the fact the #2 was being celebrated 1
WERKER Posted March 29 Posted March 29 4,387 first day streams on Spotify. (Partial) For context Jesy got dragged for 6,253 which was also partial first day streams. 1
Lyrical. Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I like this a lot. Unfortunately it's too short, and also it won't do anything for her commercially.
tbhmatt Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I wasn't expecting it to, but I am a little sad that this hasn't even made a dent on Apple Music, it's not even charting on the genre charts. I do think that if the material is right, releasing the EP could build up enough momentum for her. I've personally gotten a lot of replay value out of this so far. Release solid music consistently and she will find an audience!
shark_heather Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Im sorry but this sounds like a demo Only My Love had potential to become a hit and it didn't because she is not confident enough to support a project as a solo artist . And this is the sad truth
