The use of the sample is gonna be so jarring, since it's one of Madonna's signature songs! He could have used a deep cut bfrr

Sounds like the Madonna sample is the only good part of the song. At that point might as well just listen to Music.

Good on him for doing what he wants, but it's def not for me.

I don't really get how Party is so offputting to people at all.

because people enjoy his melodic music, clearly.

if people were only listening to him for "vibes" you wouldn't see the large pushback people are giving this and STB. i personally think he needed to switch it up after his last album was kind of an amalgamation of the two projects before it. but this was not the move, as we can see from the reaction to it.

he has a very specific niche of lo-fi melodic dreampop that people come to him for. its a very big swing to dramatically alienate your fanbase just to make party music that isn't going to be well-recieved by critics OR fans

at least his visuals are still on point. Gordon and Stuart are truly saving the day

ever since he hired gordon von steiner and stuart winecoff his videos have been immaculate so i'm looking forward to the visual!

This is understandable but Party doesn't sound very off from Rush/Talk Talk remix to me for a single. The title track was very out ther for sure tho. Based on the album listening party reactions I think people will be getting more of the dream pop sound they want from him, just not from the first two singles. Everyone in attendance said this song (Party) was their favorite though.

She’s the Best is already getting less daily streams than Rush, Angel Baby, One of Your Girls, & Strawberries & Cigarettes. Let’s hope this is a better song & does better commercially

These snippets are... rough, to say the least I'm kinda mad at society for making BRAT what it was. Charli, Troye, etc. were at their best when they were making big angsty pop songs, and now the trend that everyone wants to follow is disinterested talk-singing on a GarageBand beat. It's tacky and obnoxious, and I feel like we're going to remember it as such when we look back on this decade.

omg I was always under the impression that it was different people because it was such a 180. they didn't even try lol

THE VIDEO LOOKS SICKENING OMGGGG THE GAME OF THRONES TEAS

3:21

Literally just a trash copy of Charli's also trash album these coke-fiends thought they were on to something and boy were they wrong.

Question, why does it seem like a lot of you are sour on this song and Troye now? We haven't heard the song in full; the video looks like budget is being served and it sounds like a bop off the snippets? Is there something else going on behind the scenes that I am not aware of?

Where is this budget coming from?? Big Games of Thrones vibes, we love it.

he's gay and didn't release a poppers-induced bop so some turned on him

i must admit the replay value is low but i really like it, the video elevated it so much, it's that kind of song that will make sense in the context of the full album.

but Troye biggest selling point wasn't the poppers-induced bops As some user said above, Troye was always a lo-fi melodic dreampop artist (Can't go back, Easy, Take Yourself Home) and this new era just isn't hitting right

The snippet is awful let's not mince words. He could deliver something great but wastes his talent on trash like this. It's upsetting

talent?
