I'd have to agree that musically as well, there are similarities. There's another Christian song when it comes on I keep thinking that it's One Republic. If this song takes off, that controversy will surely follow. I agree, a dude could sing still rolling stones and you say and it would still sound like an adele song. Which song reminds you of Onerepublic?

Does this have any chance of hitting the Hot 100 next week?

This is far from their best song, but average Needtobreathe is still more than a welcome addition to the charts!

This is good, but its very very similar to Someone Like You by Adele, similar piano riff, same chord progression, and similar vocal performances.

So this one's chances of charting on the Hot 100 are getting lower each week, seeing it's sales have dropped, and it's now down to #16 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. That is, unless this gets discounted or it gets some other kind of major boosts, and maintains its airplay and streaming. (it's still gaining on streaming and Christian AC, where it's peak spin number is more than 100 that of the second largest peak spin count on the combined current and recurrent chart - "Holy Spirit" by Francesca Battistelli) Oh well. Part of me wanted to see this on the Hot 100 just for Spectrum Pulse to comment on it, although I wanted to see it more so because it's so rare for a Christian song to make the Hot 100, a great one at that. I also want Spectrum Pulse to review this song too just for curiosity How about it Spectrum Pulse ?

"Is Gods love reckless" is the new "sloppy wet vs unforseen kiss" argument for worship music

Im expecting this to bomb, but I hope Im wrong, its a great song. I think Patient could do well as a 5th single in the fall!

Am I the only person who doesn't get the appeal of this at all? I like most of his other singles too!

I really like these guys! They're extremely poppy and accessible, but they have very much developed there own sound that isn't just ripping off mainstream pop. Seems to be paying off for them!

Reckless probably isnt the first word Id use to describe Gods love lol, but this is musically so, so good. Blows away most of the Top 40 in quality!

With the way Drake approaches the charts, seemingly obssesed with them, I wonder if hes secretly a Pulse member, spending hours predicting the Hot 100 every week lol He wouldn't have let I'm Upset miss the top 10!! Or maybe he thinks its trash too!

E.T. is Katy Perry's worst single before Witness. It's also Kanye's worst before Life of deleted. Nickleback's Rockstar is not a bad song, but it's being sung by the worst possible band. You Should Be Here isn't nearly as good as its reputation. Although you can't tell it on the Hot 100, rock is on the upswing.I agree, and I think its only a matter of time before it shows on the charts!!!

Justin TimberlakeSuperbowl performance, Hit single, Q2 album Imagine DragonsBig hits in Thunder and Whatever It Takes, Worldwide Tour Taylor SwiftNot as big an era as 1989, but still massive Twenty One PilotsHit Single, Q4 album, big tour Chance The RapperQ2 Album, big tour BeyonceQ4 album, more commercial and poppy WeekndBig Q3 album, Hit single Haha, what the heck was I thinking!!!

For Kygo to push this when he just released a collab with the biggest pop band atm makes no sense at all

The J.S. Bach estate should sue the Let's Get It On writers for using the I-IV-V progression lol! Seriously though, this is getting ridiculous, there are hundreds of millions of songs in existence, some of them are going to be similar. And when we start talking about 4-chord romantic slow-jams, a lot of them are going to be similar. I hope this doesnt go through. I wont pretend the songs arent similar, but IMO you should be able to "copyright" chord progressions and rhythms

Sorry Thunder and Believer and Whatever the crap and radiocraptive and that other annoying song about monsters being overplayed really doesn’t help their case. All those songs are amazing Imagine dragons write some really arena rock songs, but they often hamper themselves with really poor production choices (The over the top distortion/clipping in radioactive, the weird drum programming in Next to Me) or poor, overly vague and repetitive lyrics (Thunder,Thunder,Thunder,Thunder×50)

Kanye is a GOAT producer, but he has always been a mediocre rapper, and hes probably always been a little crazy/eccentric

This is really great when combined with the video, but just doesnt stand that well by itself. I have no doubt the album will be great though

First Impressions:
1. Very solid melodies and chord progressions throught.Lots of big vocal jumps and chromatic chords. Much closer the styles of the 80s and 90s that what is popular today
2. The production is fantastic. Really simple but well done, and the simlicity helps the grooves and melodies stand out
3.With the groovy, funky feel he really stands out from his peers
On the negative side
1: The slow songs are the definite weak points of the album. They just dont stand out melodically or lyrically
2. Charlies thin high falsetto gets old pretty fast
3. The lyrics are for the most part weak, no worse than most pop artists, but still weak
Overall Id give it a 7/10
Best songs: The Way I am Attention How Long Patient Somebody Told Me Empty Cups
