I'm not really sure that I'm sold on the 'this > Omen' sentiment. The chorus is easily the strongest part of this, but there's enough of a step down from that to the verses that it pretty much has forced this to be a grower. I actually started listening to it earlier, then had to back off because I had another song that was stuck in my head and wouldn't leave, and it was too distracting for me to try and listen to this properly. After a few listens, though, it's now starting to catch.
I can't help but think that "Omen" brick-walled so soon here because the tide seems to have actively turned against Sam this year for whatever reason, but with this they have a very easily-imbeddable hook, plus collaborating with Lorde should raise some curiosity for much more casual listeners. Basically...they have no real reason to not try this?

This is now under the Spinincrease section on Alternative, not sure whether it'll chart there though.

This has at least 117 spins on Alt now, just 21 spins below the #51 song. I think it'll chart there soon, so Kurt, Devin or Libra, can we move this thread to the alt forum, please?

Given this sudden spike in activity, it seems like enough cause - off it goes!

Settle was a masterpiece! but when I heard the 1st few tracks from this new album (Holding On and then Omen) I was disappointed...it's not that they were bad but my expectations were just so sky high that it would've been nearly impossible to meet them. But THIS song? I love it!!! 2 of my favorite artists together & the results are stellar...this could end up as #1 on my personal chart in the near future

ha! I posted this video on some other thread a few nights ago. Alternative? Are you kidiing me? Anyway, the only positive thing here is Lorde vocals and the fact that she looks great.

YESSSSSS! I'm so glad this got sent to Alt, I love this so much. Caracal is a great album and this is the highlight. I don't expect it to do as well as Lorde's album singles but I would be happy with Top 20.

I'm fine with this on Alt. Not too much different than a Depeche Mode song. Lorde has great vocals on this.

she did more than just sing on the track...she fully collaborated with the brothers & the drum pattern was all her idea (according to what i've read)

Maybe this will grow on me? I certainly don't hate it, but I'm not too into it either. However, I'm glad to see this on Alt. It's really different for the format, which I love. Hope this does some damage.

I like Lorde, so naturally I support this song. I know it's not really a song that might belong on Alternative, but I still like it.

IMO, the artists H. mentioned should never chart on alternative. To quote Doc Indie Party Rock, JUST STAY AWAY FROM ALT. There's a perfect format for these artists; the Urban chart.

I'm a huge fan of Disclosure but truly its Lorde's vocals that make this song for me. One of her better vocal deliveries, imo.

Yeah, I'm not huge into this song but she doesn't sound as bored here as she does with Royals or Team, so that's a plus. (My favorite from her: Yellow Flicker Beat.)
