Brand new song from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis that features Ed Sheeran set to make its Radio Debut on Los Angeles's KIIS FM in 15 Min (10:30 AM) According to KIIS FM.
So I wonder how this song will end up being.

A bit slow, but I like it. I think it could be a hit with shortened verses.

Hearing it on Kiis FM right now... I do not feel it, Thrift Shop, Cant Hold Us, Same Love, and White Walls were much much better...

I made one earlier but I told Kurt to put it to non-singles. There's been duplicates of Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and more as well. Here's the non-radio singles forum: pulsemusic.proboards.com/board/34/non-radio-singles-album-tracks

I didnt see it at all but now I do. But it did become a Radio single as it played on KIIS FM. So idk what thread is going to stay, mine or yours? Mine already had people posting on it. So who knows...

This is clearly a proper single because it features Ed Sheeran... They won't let the possibility of riding his name go by not sending the song to radio.
But this song comes and goes, at least on first listen..

I'm not ready for this. And I mean that in a literal sense. I'm not ready for the doom and gloom of this shit rapper all over my radio again. Hopefully he hits a brick wall this time because he only broke through for two reasons in the first place: gimmick and privilege.

Just because it features Ed Sheeran does not instantly make it a radio single?

So who knows... The DJ who played it on KIIS even said it wasn't a radio single... Anyways, I shortened the intro, the two verses, and replaced the second chorus with the last in Audacity and ended with a length of 3:13. I think it would be radio-friendly enough at that length.

This sucks so much, and yet I can still see it actually being a hit.

A little advice to Ed and Sam Smith - quit with the guest vocals on every song out there. You are both super talented but there is such a thing as overkill. Too much isn't always a good thing especially if you are putting vocals on average songs (that new Disclosure song with Sam isn't good and neither is this one.)

Hopefully he hits a brick wall this time because he only broke through for two reasons in the first place: gimmick and privilege. The gimmick of Thrift Shop was decent and he's not a bad rapper. Can't argue with privilege as far as pop radio went but I wouldn't say his success was completely unfounded. The biggest thing I think worked in his favour that also shouldn't have was how Billboard changed how they tabulate the Hip-Hop singles chart. His hip-hop success wouldn't have been as great had it not been for Billboard and as a result, it's possible he would have ended up a pop artist who rapped rather than the white hip-hop artist he's known as. Like Ed Sheeran, for example.

Admittedly, the KIIS playing has me at a bit of a loss as to how to treat this - as in, keeping it here or moving it. Kurt your thoughts? As to thoughts on the song at hand... eh. It's OK. But how on earth has no one compared this to Kanye's "Only One" yet? :o The intent behind both songs is pretty much the same thing.

I can't see this as being anything more than a heater/teaser/hype song. Even though it has Ed on it, it doesn't particularly have much re-playability and it's not particularly interesting either. It kind of reminds me of a less fun Just The Two Of Us by Will Smith.

Not sure I get the complaints about too many features for Ed and Sam - they only have a couple (Ed has had this, Hoodie Allen, and a Tori Kelly album cut recently; Sam had the two dance hits that are a couple years old and now "Omen"). I feel like there are better candidates for those complaints, lol.
Anyway, I know I read a Sean Ross article saying a Macklemore single release had been expected in the summer, but I don't know if this is it.

Yea, Chris Brown is on every song nowadays. I believe the last time he has had NO song or Featured song on Billboard 100 was April 2013

Hmm, KIIS and Z100 have both played this twice already.
I think this could actually end up being a decent-sized hit. I think it will be released for actual sale soon (a week or so), and it seems like it will get moderate airplay.

Billboard stated this is not the lead single from the album.
