New single from the rapper. He ditched his usual rap style opting to channel Taio Cruz and Flo Rida's recent work. He is singing.
I like it for what it is and could see it being a summer hit, but it feels too neutered and clean for what we have come to expect from Nelly. I hate to throw around that 7 letter word term describing artists who changed up their style just to get a hit, but if this is the direction he is going in, it's a shame.

I like it but I keep thinking he's going to go into of the chorus of Flo Rida's "Whistle"

The singing is laughable.. the chorus is, but everything well was unexpectedly good.

Nelly gonna bring pure pop back in style. Love it. Its actually really good. Although it does sound like something some of the boybands would sing back in 99-00 eras. Its almost bubblegum.

It's a complete carbon copy of Whistle. Not here for either songs.

LOL.
That said, probably my favorite Nelly single since Dilemma (which isn't saying much).

This time he better not blame Universal for the flop album because at this point he's nothing but a singles artist and songs like this won't sell him albums

He sounds like Sean Kingston. That said, I really like the song.

Usually when people say that a certain song sounds like another I don't really hear it. However with this even I can say it definitely sounds like Whistle. Lol that being said I kinda like it regardless. I don't think it'll be a hit though.

I heard this on my local CHR in part of their Jam It or Slam It show. It won its first night, but lost out to a Lil Wayne song in its second night.

I don't know whether to be amazed or horrified by this. It does sound like it is from the early naughties, and his vocals remind me of Akon at times. I can see this either being huge or flopping hard.

I appreciate the Prince influence, but poor Nelly.

I can't stop hearing "Hey Portia" pardon my ignorance, but is that really how you prnounce it? It depends on who you ask. That's the American pronunciation. It's a German car, and the German pronunciation is "porsh" -- that's what most porsche owners call them.

I have yet to encounter an american pronouncing it that way tho. thats why the song irks me the wrong way on that part

That's how it's pronounced when it's a woman's name though. This song makes lots of super original female/car metaphors, hence the pronunciation.

All this discussion about the pronounciation reminds me the episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air when Carlton & Hilary were arguing over the same thing

this sounds so corny "Just a Dream" was amazing, and "Whistle," the song he is trying to imitate, is also the best Flo track imo, but this is just...

This is so terrible and so sad. Let's just forget he ever recorded it.
