This has grown on me, very Emeli Sande. Good in the car or as background music where you kinda switch off the repetitiveness. Might do ok on HAC, cant see it doing much on pop.
As to 'the iTunes response so far for Leona has been quite amazing in the UK & Ireland' it is currently #91 UK and #55 Ireland-- decent but certainly not 'amazing'!

So that is a pretty strong start if you ask me. Hopefully it'll start to stabalise in the top 300 for the next few weeks.

She's got a second radio tour in the UK early June and then she'll go on to tour the rest of Europe. Some European stations already starting to spin it including the largest station in spain earlier today. The song is available to download in the US June 7th.

You could tell from the preview this was gonna be fire!!!! (Pun intended ) I really can see this taking off. From the snippets of the other songs I think this could be an amazing era for Leona and I'm BEYOND excited for this!!!

It's catchy! It was popping into my head on and off today at work. That could work in it's favor if the general public gets the chance to hear it.

Been pushed back to June 28th in the UK - which makes more sense. I assume they want to have the song potentially challenge for #1. I think it's been pushed back to late June everywhere else too.

This sounds like Love Runs Out, Rumour Has It, and Rolling In the Deep... and all the other Ryan Tedder uptempos. Meh.

I knew exactly what this would sound like from the clip, and I was excited. But for some reason hearing it in full the whole melody has lost its allure.

Was talking about the UK and the song should go top 10 here without too much issue given the promotion she has. US - I'd be happy for another top 40 hit with it going gold.

Despite that BBC Radio 1 & BBC Radio 2 have given it a spin each the last couple of days which looks promising. Airplay will start to pick up late next week onwards and Leona will have another radio tour to help that out. :)

This is impacting Dance Radio and Club this week, not sure about Def Jam's other plan.

I've seen that a couple US stations have given the song a play, so hopefully it'll be put up on Cool New Music for Top 40 soon. Edit: Nevermind the Benny remix is available.

Benny remix has been serviced to dance radio panel, together with another 2 remixes, but no one got the main version yet.

That radio edit is perfect. It seemed like Leona's voice was way louder than the instrumental, but this equalizes the volume. I can definitely here this on the radio.

Leona's been at Def Jam's HQ recently, so I assume they're in talks about the US stratergy. So hopefully won't be too long until we get solid info about the release.

Enjoying this. It feels slightly like an attempt at getting a hit (sounds of the past few years), but its still pretty good nonetheless.
