Oh that’s niiiiiice

Not a million miles away from the dance the night, but still hints of future nostalgia. An evolution not revolution. 
 

I like it

[Guest]

Yeah it's really good

[CaledonianGonzo]

I like the Daft Punk-y guitar (?) solo at the end.

In fact my main criticism is it's a wee bit short. Need the remixes.

Embarrassing for you that you said this 

Nah, I stand by it. Nowhere near as good as any of the singles off Future Nostalgia. No umph, no dynamics, same energy the whole way through. Sad!

Sounds like the more laid back cousin of Don’t Start Now to me, but I get the criticism - it’s no Physical or Levitating, that’s for sure, and I’m interested to see if it’s gonna be a smash hit or not*

 

*almost a given it’ll be a hit, but at the level of the FN singles I’m not sure

[FrogLobster]

Its chill and a bit short. But I like it! Echoing what other are saying and not as out-the-gates as alot of her previous singles (Especially Dance The Night and Dont Start Now)

Listened to it 6 times now, it’s absolutely superb

[K2SO]

Nobody else thinks the song is just a bit "meh" then? My girlfriend and I just listened to it for the first time and we both came away with an "Oh okay" feeling... Like it's not bad, but it's just okay?

I just heard it for the first time and a little bit of bile came up. Truly awful tripe. Literally sounds like some woman singing over a Tame Impala backing track.

if this is the future of music then god help us all

[NorthernSoul52]

It is very Tame Impala.

I'll be fascinated to see what the balance is for a headline set. It's the very pop thing to stack a setlist with your latest album at the expense of some big hits. (See: Taylor Swift, pre-The Eras Tour.)

It’s very Dua Lipa, nothing different (I don’t blame her as that’s what her fans like)

For me she’s an easy backup, not offensive, sure it’ll be a good party however she’s very easily skipped for something better 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

It is interesting when a producer becomes so influential on a track that it essentially becomes a cover of one of their tunes they threw away.

Psychedelic disco pop. I like it.

I thought it was just OK but nothing compared to what she has done.

That's probably why I see it as average, I'm not for Tame Impala at all.

[NorthernSoul52]

I don't think I could tell you a single memorable thing about the lyrics outside of its title, despite hearing it at least half-a-dozen times.

But I could tell you all about the chonky fuzz of that guitar solo. Who here said Daft Punk? Bang on.

Looks that way.

I wonder if, in another universe, she already would have done had we not been hit with the ticket delay.

We reckon she'll tour her own in earnest?

Got to assume arenas, then if the new record goes stratospheric, a stadium run in 2025.
