Follow-up to "My Type" impacts Alt on August 25. Alt Nation has already started playing it.

The piano melody is pretty much exactly like "Daylight" by: Matt and Kim.
"My Type" was soooo infectious and great, but this is sadly just alright. Maybe it'll grow on me.

It's such an obvious ripoff. |

That's exactly what I thought of when it started. I hate anything by Matt & Kim, but this is at least tolerable. Not as annoying as "My Type." |

Feel like I've heard this somewhere before, but not too bad.

That was such a letdown they shouldn't even release a second single.

Matt & Kim took that melo from some other 70s/80s song? Can't recall. This one is ok. No download just yet. I wish they would rerleease "Ace In The Hole". more of a Fitz and the Tantrums; also on Elektra records, sound and less Matt & Kim.

I saw Saint Motel, Matt and Kim and a couple other bands at a free show two weeks ago. Saint Motel played before Matt and Kim and when they started playing "Cold Cold Man" I thought to myself: "It's kinda weird that they're covering Daylight when we're gonna hear it later."
This isn't as good as "My Type", but I still like it.

This will proly peak around the 25-30 slots? It just doesn't have the charisma that "My Type" had. Even the vocals have a different tone. moving on..

This sounds quite similar to "My Type" IMO, it's just that the horns are replaced by the bouncy piano, and the singing is a bit slower.
Not really my thing.

I'm starting to warm up to this. The bouncy piano is addicting, as were the horns in "My Type". Even though it's a ripoff, it still makes the song.

Somehow this song is missing something that "My Type" had? Don't think it will go top 20?

Someone explain to me why these guys aren't pop smashes. They're like a better version of American Authors

What my intention was, if American Authors can cross over to Alt with upbeat indie pop then Saint Motel should too.
