Kurt already mentioned that the track will be premiered this Thursday according to Columbia promo newsletter last week and... From MTV UK: The music video will be out too :O ETA: The last preview,, which it's at the bottom of the last page, was also posted on Calvin's YouTube channel.

Coming at 3am Eastern/12am Pacific on the 4th, which probably indicates a UK radio premiere (where it'd be 8am).

The buildup in the latest preview sounds kinda awkward... I think it might be the bridge.

Added directly to the B-list on BBC Radio 1 playlist!
This is the new (and last, I assume) preview and Calvin finally unveiled the drop.

I like the drop. It's kinda different from the usual from Calvin.

"Blame" is currently under Cool New Music on AllAccess and, by default, there's an audio of it. Listen to it here. It's amazing!

Love John's vocals on this, the "blame it on the night, don't blame it on me" parts are really catchy. The drop is kinda underwhelming to me at this point, however I'm sure it will grow on me with more listens :) Listening to this song was a great way to start my morning, though!

The drop is kinda underwhelming to me at this point, however I know. This is similarly to "Summer" for me where the verses are the strongest part of the song, but I like it as an overall.

Not heard anything about this in the UK yet , guess its being held back as radio still playing summer ( that singing voice of Calvins is truly awful ) .

Cute :| The drop is underwhelming and I don't like particularly John's vocals Summer is overall a better song tbh. Hopefully it will grow on me

I like it. But am I the only one that thinks the arrangement is a little awkward? The drop just sort of happens, there's no real build-up to it.

It literally sounds like they copy and pasted John's vocal stems from "Love Me Again" over the instrumental of "Summer." It's catchy and should do well enough; I don't see it being a "smash" though.

Quite disappointed, but it's still a good song. Love the hook, but the drops are only average.
And guess it leaks as i see it in my soundcloud :(

It's like "Sweet Nothing" part 2. Don't hear that at all because SN is perfect. But I do like this.

Well, the "Blame it on the night / Don't blame it on me / Don't blame it on me" part has been stuck on my head. That's good, I guess. Also, seems that the music video is not coming today nor this Sunday, as it's been reporting. However, according to a press release from Sony Music Italy, a lyric video will be out on Sunday, which will coincide with his iTunes Festival performance, and the music video a week after that. This is the following translation from it: Anyway, I think I should stop doing first reaction posts (re: It's amazing)

It's decent. It won't be as big as "Summer."

Calvin's best song is still Feel So Close. That song caught up to I Need Your Love and Sweet Nothing on the recurrent chart.

Much better than the underwhelming, overrated "Summer."

This is nice. I actually like that the drop doesn't go quite as hard as a lot of his. Nice reprieve. Sounds like a hit, but not a smash. He's definitely the best of the pop EDM producers.
