New single from Robert DeLong called "Favorite Color Is Blue", which is a collaboration with K.Flay. The track, which will be out this Friday, impacts Alternative radio on March 13 according to AllAccess.

I know I'm not the only one who read the title of this song in Rivers Cuomo's voice with the u extra long.

This better not be a cover of "Sober Up".

I was way more into "Don't Wait Up" than "Long Way Down". I wish DWU was the bigger hit.

I liked "Don't Wait Up" more, but "Long Way Down" was good too. Looking forward to this.

Sooo, Robert DeLong is channeling his inner Twenty One Pilots? Not too impressed with this.

Unfortunate. This duo had potential.

Not encouraged by the reception, but I'll still give it a fair listen. I did like K.Flay's earlier, more 21P-esque material, after all.

Yeah, after two listens (including one on the radio), I can say this got annoying really fast. I don't see this doing well.

i like both of these artists quite a bit...but sadly the end result was less than the sum of the parts...while i don't exactly hate it, i don't feel the need to listen to it again

Unfortunately WBMP is playing the hell out of this. That sigh-like sound is an instant cue to change the station.

Decided to give this another shot and finish it in full.
This is absolutely awful.

Yeah this isn't great. What the hell are those noises in the chorus? Completely kill whatever potential this song had.

If Thunder could go #1, I can see this going top 5, unfortunately.

Wow I'm really surprised this has gotten so much hate. I actually really like this, at least initially, and I don't think it's too much of a departure from DeLong's sound or anything. The sigh sound in the chorus is kind of weird, but I think it works. And I actually think K Flay sounds great in her role of glorified backing vocalist here.

The chorus is my least favorite part of the song easily. I don't dislike it, but ehhh... it's not a song I'd go out of my way to listen to. I'd rather K. Flay not be in the song. I think she ruins from what otherwise might be a good song for my opinion.

This is easily becoming one of the worst songs I've heard this year. This sounds like it's literally made to brainwash listeners. Of what? I don't know, but I'm not sticking around to find out either.
