Serving beauty, choreography!

One of the best pop songs released in 2012 for sure.

 

she had everything to crack America, looks, charisma and talent, such a shame things didn't work out that way

Still listen to this song often, timeless bop

A bop. I would be lying if I said I didn't love A Million Lights

Interesting timing for this thread lol but yes Issa bop 

cheryl's voice is absolutely lifeless on this song esp on the chorus which always bugged me 

 

Was just listening to this earlier today, dance pop excellence

A large part of the song is also not primarily her voice. I believe there are 2 other vocalists singing either with her, over her or instead of her on the track.

 

Calvin Harris is a great pop songwriter and producer though. But apparently he only decided to give this song to Cheryl because he wanted her label to approve a collaboration with her labelmate Florence Welch.

Ugh that early Calvin Harris production 

Why now? 

Such a CLASSIC  She needs to collaborate with Calvin again, Call My Mame is easily one of her best songs

my favorite version is her breathing instead of singing because of the malfunctioning microphone

love love love this kind of... stuff

The video and live performances of this was everything. She was the perfect popstar. She really should have Kept going. Her music is timeless 

Her best bop 

a classic. it's aged like a fine wine and better than any other early 2010s calvin song i can think of

That's how he put it in the Capital interview like 10 years later, but he always made the song with Cheryl in mind. He just dangled it in front of Polydor to get the Florence collab for 18 Months, he was never reluctant to give it to her.

The perfect combination of a well constructed song, fantastic styling, amazing music video and top tier promotion. She really could've gone worldwide with this album.

the Marquis de Sade quote at the beginning of the music video will always be a scream

I remember being obsessed with this We Found Love rip off

i love this video, the way she says "say my name baby!" with the softest voice ever is hilarious

Calvin early 2010's work is totally immaculate, it's just so energetic and powerful.

 

This one is particular still gos OFF, she really was that UK Pop Princess for a reason. 

Not you posting this after her ex's death

The fact that she still killed this performance

A pop BOP! It's a shame A Million Lights' success was derailed, though.

Timeless bop
