[think pink.]

[firefly]

Chris Brown, of all people?

Bye

[Linnethia Monique]

I AM PERCHED AND READY! Definitely sounds like Max Martin enlisted Ali Payami again to co-produce which has me excited.

I feel like I'll end up liking this more than any of the singles from her last album.

Out of 2 On, Pretend and All Hands on Deck I will agree. That snippet has the same ambiance of my favorite cuts like Bet and Feels Like Vegas. I can see this being big on Rhythmic and Urban.

I still can't wait to hear it and hope for the best but wish it was with anyone other than Chris.

[MaterialGirl]

First official single according to SONY. Available October 2nd.

Good. Now ya'll can stop pretending "Party Favors" wasn't garbage.

lol no

hopefully this will be a better lead single though

[tamed09]

Lord maybe she has more in common with Ci than I thought

[Kurt]

Sounds like a crossover hit to me.

[RockaByeBaby]

I really like this!

[NeRD]

Sounds good.

Very smart of them to do two versions.

[Juan Carlos]

I saw the previous post in my mobile and I was wondering why there were two YouTube embed audios and then, I realized that the first one was for the solo version because I was waiting for Chris Brown's part

Anyway, both versions are really good and I agree with Kurt that it has potential to crossover.

[PopLuva]

I like this a lot hope it does something this album is probably her last chance to make it big.

[Ling-Ling]

This is so hot. I really hope this blows up for her.

[vithor]

Fucking love this. Send it to pop too!

Huh? She's still extremely young, she'll have many more shots to hit it big (in the mainstream) if this doesn't do anything.

About the song - it's alright, maybe it will grow on me. I felt like it took too long to get into the good part: the chorus.

[Linnethia Monique]

I like it, not love it for now but the structure of Verse -> Pre-Chorus -> Verse -> Pre-Chorus -> Chorus is just weird.

[Relaxing Cup]

Maybe this is a grower but I'm not entertained by this.

[Live Your Life]

I like it, but it doesn't really sound like a huge smash to me. It's a little understated. I also think getting The Weeknd on this would have been smarter than getting Chris on it. We'll see what happens.

[MaterialGirl]

Ummm this is OK. I'm disappointed.

[Daish]

this is hot!! prefer the version without breezy tho

[internety]

It's cute. I like the hook.
The version without chris is what I'll be playing.

[Enigma.]

Loving the chorus but it's not perfect

[Deleted]

The Chris Brown version is surprisingly disappointing to me. I thought they would be trading off verses but instead he came in with a bridge that I didn't really care for.

Yeah, the structure is weird at first, but at the same time it's just quirky enough to feel distinctly Tinashe? I dunno, playing around with the different parts of a song just seems like something she would do, and the subtle beat change behind the second verse and pre-chorus prevent it from feeling too plodding. I like the way it creates a steady build into the chorus instead of jumping right into it, almost like a little tease/anticipatory kind of thing.

At first my feeling was "this is cute, but I don't love it" but after just a few listens it has grown on me quickly and now I kind of do love it. My big concern is that this should be a crossover hit but will turn into yet another too pop for urban/too urban for pop song that fall through the cracks on both. I really, really hope this explodes the way it should.

Do we know the adds date(s) for each format yet?

[Deleted]

She's 2/2 for me. If this is what she meant by a poppier sound I'm fine with it. This is still very much in her lane.

It's sad because if this was Chris Brown, Trey Songz or Drake, Urban would have no problem with this. Hopefully the feature helps her get some traction at radio.

I love this now and I totally get what you mean by the structure now. Once that 2nd verse hits after the pre-chorus and the production starts to kick up I feel myself anticipating this high and and it hits.
