Neon Trees - "Sleeping With A Friend"

[Kurt]

Judging by tweets from tonight's secret band event in Salt Lake City, "Sleeping With A Friend" is the upcoming lead single from Neon Trees's third album. No other details yet!

[Cody]

Seems like a good start to 2014 for music. We're getting new Foster The People, Offspring, Adelitas Way, and Neon Trees. I like it.

[Devin]

"Sleeping With a Friend"? Something tells me that this song is not going to be very good.

[Green Baron]

Neon Trees goes cock rock?

[Cody]

Well, it could have a deeper-meaning than the title indicates, kinda like "Sex" by The 1975.

[Kurt]

No cock-rock; very 80s. Just uploaded to AllAccess along with an intro ID from Tyler, so probably going to radio next week.

This may be my favorite single by them- either this or "Lessons In Love".

[Pipa]

Well, that definitely didn't disappoint. Great song.

[Superundercover]

I'm impressed, good song.

[Kurt]

Impacts alt on January 21.

[Deleted]

I stopped considering them alt after everybody talks

will change my mind? Idk

[Mega248]

It's definitely less made-for-pop than "Everybody Talks"- it's probably about on par with "Animal" and "1983" (both of which were still poppy though).

I already like this more than any of their other singles. It sounds 80s and 2010s at the same time and it's catchy without trying too hard to be catchy.

Yes it does; it reminds me a lot of "Out Of My League" in that regard.

[gmiranda]

I wasn't expecting much, but this has easily become my favorite single of theirs.

[American Idiot]

This doesn't seem like anything special to me. I was hoping for something like "Animal" that screamed catchy hit single, but it sounds very similar to anything off of their last album. I'm hoping for more variety on this new upcoming one.

[Chuckles, The Silly Piggy]

I think top 10 is a fair enough prediction.

[Green Baron]

A top 30 debut is likely. "Everybody Talks" debuted at #34 after "Animal" hit #1, and since the singles from Picture Show weren't nearly as successful as the ones from their debut, a low debut probably is the case

[Devin]

I think this'll do around the same as "Everybody Talks" did on Alternative. The new sound gives them an edge to have continued success on both Alternative, Pop, and HAC. If they had released another "Animal"/"Everybody Talks," I think it would flop. So good move on their part.

Predictions:

• Alternative - #6
  
• CHR/Pop - #5
  
• HAC - #2
  
• AC - #17
  

[Cody]

I like this alot, my second favourite from them after "Animal"

Ok I'm going to beat you with my predictions

Alternative - #7
CHR/Pop - #6
HAC - #3
AC - #18

Whoever is closest to each peak wins

;)


But seriously, I'm actually gonna predict:

Alternative - #9
CHR/Pop - #15
HAC - #7
AC - #20

It sounds nice for the most part... it's like what people hear in indie mixed with their own flair.

Predictions:
Alterative: #7
CHR/POP: #9 (It might grow like "Animal" had done, I mean, what hasn't happened before? Plus, it's pretty much where "Sweater Weather" peaked.)
HAC: #4
AC: #15
might get some Rhythmic plays if it gets a remix (like the flawless Kaskade remix of "Lessons In Love").

[Rocky]

I like it. It's not an "Animal", but it would be a huge mistake to rehash their past hits like some bands do all the time. The chorus is super. :)

[No Brake$]

This will be huge, I don't particularly love it, but it's very memorable and deserves to be a hit.

[Linnethia Monique]

This may just be my favorite 1st single from them by far.

[Hefty Hanna]

I actually really like this! Pleasantly surprised.

Note: Loved 'Everybody Talks', wasn't as keen on 'Animal'. Just kind of figured they would get stuck. Glad they switched things up.

[Deleted]

This is really good, arguably my favorite from them.

[allow that]

This is pretty good! Surprisingly, I prefer it over the new Foster The People song.

To be honest, if you'd asked me a year ago, I probably would have predicted that they'd continue to release slight re-hashes of "Everybody Talks", with gradually diminishing results. I've liked all of their singles to at least some extent, but they didn't strike me as creative enough to change up their sound this much. I'm glad I was wrong.
