[Penelope]

It's very SOLANGE, isn't it?

LOVE HER in that Radio 1 interview "I DON'T KNOW WHAT A HIT IS! I'VE NEVER KNOWN WHAT A HIT IS!"

 

[ameraal]

oh oh oh!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

THANK GOD.

 

[Apoca]

TEARS OF JOY.

RESCUE US ALL JESSUS.

 

[Sheena]

STILL JUST ABOVE AVERAGE

 

[Penelope]

STILL JUST ABOVE AVERAGE

Like CLOCKWORK

 

[ameraal]

i'm not feeling it so far.

 

[lolly]

Hmm.

 

[COB]

It's good, but it feels a bit like an album track rather than a big new single. Also, the backing on the verses reminds me SO MUCH of something else I can't place (I'm sure it's from the soundtrack to a film or a game) and it's driving me a bit mad.

 

[FetchFugly]

The verses are nice but that chorus is a bit jarring. It gets a bit Alicia Keys, I prefer my Jessie rather smoother sounding.

 

[lolly]

It's not working for me after a few days and multiple listens.

6/10. And it would be a 4 or 5 if it wasn't that voice.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I really like it. It's hardly a great abstract move for our Jessie.

 

[Pipo]

unless it's a XMAS album like everyone else, i'm not interested bye

 

[Superstylin']

Hmm not doing a great deal for me right now sadly.

When i saw the title "Midnight" i thought she was about to drop this demo from the Tough Love era.



And then there's Midnight Caller too .. she certainly loves writing tracks about 00:00am

 

[ameraal]

midnight caller is ace. this reminds me more of say you love me which is eeeasily my least favourite of her singles. still sounds like something an x-factor contestant would put out.

 

[lolly]

BLITZES in at #89 to become her FIFTH TOP NINETY SMASH

 

[dUb]

Fucking hell. I've just heard this and am INSTANTLY IN LOVE.

 

[monsta]

The dictionary definition of SULTRY GEM!

 

[dUb]

It wouldn't be out of place on THE EMANCIPATION tbh

 

[Phoenix]

 

[Phoenix]

This is a lot more mainstream

 

[FetchFugly]

Those are SOME SLEEVES

This is better than Midnight I'd say, but still not exactly a 10/10 moment.

 

[Mats]

I'd like a pool

 

[ameraal]

the chorus seems a bit underwhelming but i would not be surprised if this becomes an unlikely hit at all.

 

[lolly]

Now I LOVE this. What a voice.

And the video is just perfect for it.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

QUEEN of 2nd singles!
QUEEN of lovely swimming pools!

 

[monsta]

QUEEN of SULTRY GEMS!

 

[Steptacular]

Trying to force myself to love it but it's just a 7/10 at the moment. The video is fucking something though!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I love how she always plays a much older woman.

 

[Jark]

Song 8/10 and growing
Video a solid 12

 

[lolly]

Loving this so hard right now. She really is wasted on the UK general public.

 

[Phoenix]

Yeah it has grown so much on me.

 

[Steptacular]

New single, Alone, out now - it's much more akin to the Tough Love era and instant for me.

UK tour tickets on sale next week too!

 

[monsta]

She's playing the Fruitmarket is Glasgow which is a DIVINE venue.

QUEEN!

 

[Penelope]

Alone is AMAZING. That middle eight!



MOVE THIS TO THE DIVAS FORUM

 

[lolly]

Yeah, it's great. I was worried slightly after Midnight, but both the last two are CORKING.

 

[monsta]

SULTRY GEMS FORUM NOW

 

[Penelope]

Tour presale if you preorder the album before Monday I was devastated I had to miss the London promo gig I had a ticket for at the last minute but I'm absolutely THERE for the tour

 

[lolly]

What's replaced the MAN BUN as the hipster wanker hairstyle du jour? Just so I know what I'll be queuing behind at the bar.
