sounds good but it reminds me of another song . i am thinking this George Michael song but also another one from a past decade.
edit also a little like this 60's song. |

Does it sample โyour songโ?
The part where he sings โI hope you know that (oh) I hope you know that (oh)โ

On the bridge he sounds exactly like Annie Lennox.

I can see this being the closing track on his album, can't wait for the studio version!

Another great song from him. This is shaping up to be a really good album.

This might be my favorite from the project so far.. nice to hear him doing something a little different.

This is very nice. I get the One More Try comparison. Also sounds like it is off from a mid 90's Disney soundtrack.

I guess he is trying to repeat "Beauty behind" era structure of singles - "Heartless" is kinda "Hills", "Blinding Lights" is "Can't Feel My Face" and now is the power ballad "Scared To Live" which gives "Earned It" vibes, actually "Scared To Live" might match the quality of "Beauty Behind The Madness", Heartless and Blinding Lights are definitely weaker offerings. Let's hear the studio version, hopefully it is even better.

This is phenomenal. And those power vocals! I've been a fan for 10 years and haven't heard him sound this good before...
I actually like "Blinding Lights" and "After Hours" more, but I'm fully on board with this. The 80's noir vibe of this whole era is sooooo good.

This album and Future Nostalgia really are coming to slay the Pop genre this year.

I'm putting off listening to this until the album drops for I know he will slay me
Since Blinding Lights and the title track have already done that
Heartless is kinda just there for me but it's not bad though

Love this. The overall vibe gives off major George Michael vibes.
The actual chorus shares the melody of Estelle's "Thank You" though.

This is an odd choice for urban ac...there's nothing on the album that fits that format, IMO.

In Your Eyes sounds like an excellent fit for the format, but okay

I think this could do well at Urban AC, but they could have sent "In Your Eyes" there too. He's big enough right now it doesn't really matter if they want to put out a totally separate AC release.. they don't have to follow a conventional singles release strategy.

In Your Eyes sounds like an excellent fit for the format, but okay โIn Your Eyesโ sounds too 80s pop, and wonโt work on any of the Urban leaning formats except Rhythmic. I donโt think thereโs anything else on the album that would cater to these formats. The best shot they have is โScared to Liveโ and thereโs no harm in trying. If this makes some significant progress on Urban/Urban AC they can easily send it over to Pop and Hot AC. |
