I like this song. EDM suits Samβs voice really well. However, I donβt see this performing better than One Kiss.

Sam sounds great on this, he should move into this sound note often.

First listen I was kinda iffy, but now it's been on repeat for hours.
I still think anything pre-Funk Waves was amazing. He was killing it with "Motion" there were so many non-singles that could have been huge hits. Funk Wave had a few hit, a few miss. One Kiss was really good, but I am really loving his ultra-house era, despite missing "Motion."

This song is great. I am really loving Calvin's 2018 sound.

This song is great. I am really loving Calvin's 2018 sound. Me, too. I just love it! I think his production is amazing.

I'm surprised at how much Sam's second album underperformed. Or even flopped? Even still, I'm surprised he's already stepping outside of the album for a single. I'll check it out but Sam's vocals are probably my least favourite from any vocalist this decade so I'll hope the emphasis is on the production/beat." "Too Good At Goodbyes" was top 10 for 20 weeks, the album has sold almost 3 million copies. He's on a sold out worldwide tour for it. I certainly wouldn't call it a" flop" but he needs to mix up his sound a bit if he wants to have a successful third album. I really like this and I hope he does more songs like this in the future.

There's a vertical video available on Spotify, which could be seen in the link of the tweet below. Also, the track is currently at #1 on the WW iTunes song chart.

Finally heard it. I liked it more than I expected to based on the comments here and the Sam Smithness. It's pretty good.

Sam's aesthetic reminds me more and more of a British act in the 80s. I mean... uncanny. The lovechild of a George Michael, Rick Astley and Andy Bell three-way.

I like this a lot. One Kiss was more instant but I feel like this will be a grower.

This is meh. I hear/feel the build up, but it falls completely flat. It's nice to see Jessie Reyez name is getting out there.

This was only 8 units behind Body on the latest UK Midweeks. George Ezra should be having the chart rule come into effect very soon, and Drake won't be far behind (I think three weeks from now), so barring this collapsing (which it likely won't given that it's been making big jumps on Spotify (14 -> 15 -> 8 -> 4) and is still #1 on iTunes with a very big lead) or something new taking off immediately, it has a significant chance of hitting #1 there.

I liked this enough when I first heard it but I've been playing it a lot more this week and it really, really clicked. I love it.
And there is no denying that Sam sounds best on Dance tracks. If he only ever did Dance features from here on out, I'd be just fine with that.

Up to #4 in the UK Midweeks. About 800 units separate it from Eastside at #3, which is the same gap as on the previous update. New peak of #2 on Spotify.

Repeating myself, but it's relevant.
The fact that Calvin Harris, Zedd and Marshmello have so seamlessly made it through the EDM bubble and out the otherside is so surprising to me. They all consistently get radio hits, whereas people like Tiesto don't even try any more and just went back to being really famous in the EDM scene.

I gotta really disagree with marshmallo getting lumped in with those other two lol
