Whoa... the new Lloyd (UK-only) single is a total mess. It samples "Take My Breath Away" AND features Nelly.

any song that samples "take my breath away" has like, a 95% chance of being good imo
NB: have not heard this song

i haven't heard jessie ware's new one yet but i loved "strangest feeling" from last year - she's in with glasgow's numbers crew i believe, her first release was with sbtrkt on their label

the Lloyd track:

it's... not good

I mean, maybe you dig a budget Ginuwine singing over what sounds like an unfinished demo beat but I do not

and wow does it get super embarrassing when Nelly shows up
― (thinks and smiles) (DJP), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:48 (twelve years ago) link
damn... that was not what I was thinking of at all
― flagp∞st (dayo), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:50 (twelve years ago) link
"Strangest Feeling" is nice, too—love the way she her voice alternatingly blends into and cuts against the track.
― Evan R, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:50 (twelve years ago) link
was thinking of a lush and smooth jam like "you"
basically that whole Lloyd song has "American Idol runner-up" written all over it; if you had told me that was Just Guarini's comeback single I wouldn't have blinked twice

<i>damn... that was not what I was thinking of at all</i>
hahaha, I wish I could hear the song you imagined in your head. I think Lloyd's parts are actually pretty sharp, but the track is just not salvageable
― Evan R, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:51 (twelve years ago) link
i was just listening to the latest T.I. mixtape today and thinking about how odd it is that Nelly still exists and people keep working with him as if he still existed

the new Wale single would be a really dope King of Hearts-worthy Lloyd jam if you deleted all the Wale bullshit off it btw
haha well like I said, I was just thinking of how lloyd turned 'true' into a jam for 'you,' so something along those lines xxp

the least you can do after releasing a double LP titled Sweat/Suit is disappear in a cloud of embarrassment
― (thinks and smiles) (DJP), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link
every new lloyd single seems to have a faster tempo than the last lloyd single
― flagp∞st (dayo), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago) link
^ yeah, it's becoming a problem, huh?
"Sabotage" is a killer choice for a Wale single though. That shit jams.
― Evan R, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
haha maybe someone should stage an intervention before Lloyd tries singing over Moby's "Thousand"
― (thinks and smiles) (DJP), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:56 (twelve years ago) link
the jessie ware thing is great, it's produced by the very talented julio bashmore
the disclosure remix is great as well if you like house-y stuff

yeah that's what the official mixtape version is tagged as

just a sample surely?

are we on "gucci this, gucci that" at all?
sounds like a pretty great throwback to crunk & b to me

wow they've grown since we last saw them
great to see their production strategy continues to be daddy's leftovers

(i knew i'd fuck with it before i even pressed play and it didn't disappoint)
i love the hook & cute happy vibe of "do it like you"

it's also hilariously comes off as a direct response to "gucci gucci"

is diggy diggy simmons or something? think he was xxl freshmen last year? or is he young money? or both?
― flopson, Monday, 5 March 2012 00:15 (twelve years ago) link
definite post-drake vibe
― flopson, Monday, 5 March 2012 00:18 (twelve years ago) link
song is straight up adorable though
it would be hilarious if there was more than one kiddie rapper named diggy but yeah diggy simmons just decided to go mononym
jeremih needs to come with that third album already and stop giving hooks to wack rappers to stay on the radio

apparently this leaked in novmeber, but i guess the NO DJ version has leaked now --
pretty interesting line up... t-pain ft petey pablo & magoo + lil jon and fatman scoop shouting shit, but it's kind of a chill joint -- at least for something called "bring the club back"
