JADE - Fantasy

[Apoca]

 

[Music]

Sounds great! Is this the second single?

 

[Apoca]

Allegedly. It's very Jessus-coded.

@funky @Jark get in here.

 

[Rita]

I love it already.

 

[rhythmbandit]

EASILY the best solo material by a Little Mix member by a significant margin.

 

[funky]

Oh now that sounds TREMENDOUS. At first it sounded like your standard funky bop but there's some lovely production choices in there. I am POISED.

 

[Jark]

it sounds quite basic to me!

 

[ILL ADVISED]

 

[untilted]

Oh this sounds excellent!!!

 

[Halli]

One Show and BBC Breakfast AGOG.

 

[VoR]

 

[Music]

I think this is the first performance of Angel of my Dreams?

 

[VoR]

Number one on New Music Friday too - fingers crossed she manages to break the curse and nab a second hit.

 

[Apoca]

Pure joy.

 

[Jark]

OK the production is pretty slick but the song feels pretty threadbare to me. those verses are awful.

the whole thing is way too spoken word for me. she seems to like that but I'm not sure why? she can properly SING. and she doesn't do speak-singing with attitude the way Charli can for example. why make a disco track and do next to nothing with those vocals?

 

[Devil]

Yep that’s brilliant, fabulous job

 

[untilted]

Well gang, I can’t believe what I’m about to say

This is excellent

 

[funky]

I like it, but I haven't decided yet whether I like it in a 6/10 kind of way or a 9/10 kind of way

I will report back

 

[Loufoque]

Issa bop.

JADE really just gets pop.

 

[Apoca]

Into it

 

[VoR]

Other than the spoken bits, it’s very Jessie Ware, isn’t it?

 

[Christian]

Now that’s SULTRY

 

[Devil]

For a one room thing that’s also rather good. She really is great at this, hopefully it does decently.

 

[funky]

Just had a proper listen - yes it's great. And yes she has been studying Queen Jessus for this one.

#1 on iTunes UK (well she's #2 but I'm ignoring the daft charity single at #1)

 

[Kratz]

She’s coming for Jessie’s sound. Unlike Jessie she’s also coming for the charts.

It’s a real joy to listen to.

 

[VoR]

Fails to debut on the Spotify daily 200 despite the NMF listing

 

[Eddie]

@Kratz jinxed her!

Seriously, what does it take for someone to CHART these days?

 

[Halli]

375K streams WW so far for Fantasy.

 

[Halli]

Before the JOOLS HOLLAND EFFECT

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Halli]

Jools Holland Perf

 

[Rita]

I’m not all that keen to be honest and think it pales terribly in comparison to Angel Of My Dreams.

 

[VoR]

25 on the pre-streaming midweeks, so yeah it’s going to miss the top 40.

 

[Kratz]

That's a shame. 'Angel of my Dreams' waned quickly for me but this is growing in the first couple of days.

 

[jyxz]

LOVED that video.

 

[Jark]

She’s coming for Jessie’s sound. Unlike Jessie she’s also coming for the charts.

well so far it's performing exactly like a Jessie Ware song so I wouldn't be so sure. 620k from two days isn't great at all...

I keep trying. the last 45 seconds are great, but the verses just ain't it and ruin the flow of the song.

 

[VoR]

As expected, on the full midweek update she's down to #37.

Such a shame. I really thought she might break the curse of the second LM singles.

 

[funky]

A disappointment but getting a new entry into the chart in week 1 is not an easy feat any more (unless you’re a UK rap/grime act)

Most songs climb to a peak these days so it still might break through.

Are you still living in a time when Spotify playlisting does NOT influence chart performance?

No i’m living in exactly that time which is why I said what I said?

What point are you trying to make?
