GREAT song, but the video is pretty annoying. The combing is excessive (we get it, it's supposed to be a handicap), and then all the weird product placement. Do they really need Mini, Freixenet and Lavazza to underwrite the cost of this?

"handicam"

I assumed this revive was for...other reasons but this is much nicer

I'm often handicapped with my combing.

i prefer ilx as an alternate universe where i could potentially never encounter these "other reasons"

OK I'll bite - what are these other reasons?

ILM not brave/twisted enough for that music crit, would blow too many minds

Worst music writing might be the appropriate thread for the other thing, not that I've read it.

yeah let's keep it there

oh right that thing. I assumed it was so negligible and uninviting to be minor and thought it was something more scandalous
― boxedjoy, Friday, 15 September 2017 18:30 (six years ago) link
At least today, Favourite Colour is back to being my fave track, as the having it play on a loop for the last 34 minutes would indicate.

Oh man, why was this revive not news of a new album?
That's an awesome song though, so I'm not totally mad.

god i hope this album is as good as or better than Emotion. i can't even fathom that it could be, but i hope it is.

snippet
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Wednesday, 31 October 2018 17:56 (five years ago) link
julia michaels has a credit on this song iirc
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Wednesday, 31 October 2018 17:57 (five years ago) link
it's fine but certainly underwhelming and has no chance of being any sort of hit
― ufo, Thursday, 1 November 2018 10:14 (five years ago) link
Just the snippet, or is the whole song somewhere?
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 1 November 2018 10:20 (five years ago) link
it showed up on canadian itunes so it's floating around out there
― ufo, Thursday, 1 November 2018 10:26 (five years ago) link
Haven't heard it yet but technically emotion contained no actual "hits" so not a huge concern for me
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Thursday, 1 November 2018 10:45 (five years ago) link
I Really Like You was a decent hit in most of Europe iirc
― ufo, Thursday, 1 November 2018 11:04 (five years ago) link
this is great imo. maybe the verses are a little undercooked but the chorus is huge
― monotony, Thursday, 1 November 2018 12:24 (five years ago) link
unsurprisingly i love this
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 November 2018 12:25 (five years ago) link
wordless post-chorus vocalizations really sell it
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 November 2018 12:27 (five years ago) link
once upon a time i thought you wanted mewas there no one else to kiss?
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 November 2018 12:32 (five years ago) link
Love it. This bodes well for the new album.The syncopation in the chorus was the hook for me. Also that rim-shot percussion that announces the drop in the chorus.

― enochroot, Thursday, 1 November 2018 12:38 (five years ago) link
i think the 'back on my beat' line in the chorus doesn't quite resolve in the sort of satisfying way i'd want it to and that's what i dislike? but it's still pretty good and growing on me
― ufo, Thursday, 1 November 2018 12:41 (five years ago) link
I'm generally not super into her singles but this is p good, if not a million miles removed from the last album sonically

Love her music, but Carly's videos are almost always terrible and this one is no exception. Like, even ignoring the egregious product placement, it just seems like it was conceived by a high school drama class.

― enochroot, Sunday, 4 November 2018 12:15 (five years ago) link
she’s got some good videos! (“run away with me” and “your type” in particular)
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 November 2018 12:32 (five years ago) link
I appreciate that she actually says "makin' love to myself" rather than some rote euphemism
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Saturday, November 3, 2018 1:14 AM (yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
but this... is itself a euphemism?
anyway, this song is like 90% of the way to being great and I think I've figured out what the 10% is -- there are some unfortunate things happening with the vocal production on the verses. most apparent on "some-BODy's in your way"

How in god's name did "Cry" not make it onto the album proper? (also, did we ever poll the B-sides collection of this album?)
― enochroot, Monday, 24 June 2019 12:27 (four years ago) link
Yeah "Cry" is the standout from Side B by far
I don't think I voted in this poll because I got on the CRJ train a little late but "Never Get to Hold You" is what I would vote for now. That song sounds like the warmest hug
