I must be thinking of something else then clearly lmao I think you were recalling the Lauren Mayberry/Marshmello fracas when Lauren disowned the CHVRCHES/Marshmello collab single "Here With Me" a while back over Marshmello working with an artist Lauren found less than desirable due to abusive offenses. I can't remember the name of said artist atm.ย Chris Brown EDIT: Tyga as well |

Definitely different from what Iโm used to from them, but itโs pretty cool. I think with a few listens itโll grow on me more.

Yeah, this was good. Keeps the core of their sound intact but does something different with it, it's heavier.
EDIT: goes for Alt adds 4/27.

Very underwhelming. Sounds like something that would have been an album track on their last album, nothing groundbreaking or noteworthy.

Yeah that's my feelings exactly, feels like a love is dead leftover. It's fine I guess, but not exciting at all

Passabler RetroWave I guess. The verses are missing something. They sound too empty. It also has that pompous, Imagine Dragons feel in the chorus. Needs more synths IMOP. Hope it does well, but I'm not blown away enough to do a Download/check.

I didn't like it at first listen, but after a few more listens I think it's decent. Not their best work, but not bad

I think this is good, sounds like a natural progression from their last album. See this doing well for them.

Alright. I gave the new song a listen. Keep in mind, that I am a HUGE fan of CHVRCHES. I've rated all of their three full-length albums a 4/5.
Even "Love is Dead," which most thought as a big step down. It's pretty safe to say that they are in my current Top 5 favorite artists (not all-time, but maybe one day...)
Normally, I hate autotune but using it in this song didn't really bother me. Overall, I like the song of course as I'll give it a 3.5/5, but I will agree that it's nowhere as strong as the material from especially their earlier albums.
It's kind of repetitive and what you'd expect to hear from CHVRCHES honestly. I hope that there are better songs on the new album and this is a weaker track.
Even if you're not a fan of the group, listen my favorite song from them "Lies." THAT is what they are capable of and I hope to be topped one day.

I don't have a problem with the autotune. Autotune is a tool that can be both used well and used poorly, and they're a synth-pop band so the vocoder effect fits. The problem I have with this song is that it isn't especially catchy, which is a real shame because CHVRCHES usually have excellent hooks and often have multiple hooks one after the other in their singles.
This song is fine, but it's definitely a bit of a disappointment. I'll be interested to hear the full album when it comes out, though, and maybe this one will grow on me with multiple listens.

Not Catchy Enough. That's another one right there. Actually a big one for me. That's it. I'm pulling the plug on this one. |

Just heard this last night and while I lowkey wish it was somehow a cover of the Ashley Tisdale bop, its a great song in its own right

This is great, didn't expect to like hyperpop CHVRCHES but this works. Easily their best single since Clearest Blue.

I've come around to it, although I like synth/euro/dance pop. I don't mind autotune as much as some. Does it belong on ALT? No. Is it bad pop music? No. |
