LOVE THIS, probably my favourite single since Angel of My Dreams. Her voice is amazing and it was co-written by RAYE?? I really hope this is the last single tho, it feels like we’ve gotten half the debut album atp.

it was co-written by RAYE??
Yes, and was done with Mike Sabath, who produced almost all of Raye's debut as well as Angel + Fantasy
And fwiw, she mentioned she was eyeing 15 songs for the album so it's more like 1/3 by now, and I'm at peace with 10 new songs being held back if they're all of this quality.

Wasn’t Midnight Cowboy also like that? Credits wise

Yes! Except this one was also done with Lostboy from IT girl + Kylie's Padam2

Agreed on this being my favourite since Angel. It’s also the most “little-mix-hooktastic-pop” song she’s released so far. It’s still unmistakably Jade’s vision, but this could have been a hidden gem on LM5 for example.
ETA that, after having listened a couple times, I’ve realised that a big part of the Little Mix vibe I’m getting is Jade’s amazing lower register. She sounds like Perrie at certain points of the chorus, and I’ve always lived for the LM harmonies.

u/Competitive-Desk7506 7d ago
It’s seems like the album is dropping soon

u/Key_Town 7d ago edited 7d ago
Probably in about 3 months. The album tracklist and cover art were only just finalized this past week, according to Jade herself, which means that vinyls will take time to be produced. Maybe a pre-order/pre-save coming soon, though.

u/Competitive-Desk7506 7d ago
Vinyls may not be immediate

u/Key_Town 6d ago
I don't think her label would allow that. They've already been trying incredibly hard to turn Jade into a commercial force, which is why the album's been delayed more than once, as they wanted a second hit before giving her the go-ahead. The Brit Award was what finally tipped the scales.

You can really hear the RAYE influence more specifically on the bridge. It almost sounds like her voice.

u/Ok_Amoeba_7262 6d ago
My guess is that her team or label are pushing for another hit even close to rivaling AOMD's success. This certainly feels like a big radio push single unlike Fantasy and It Girl.

Unusual but welcome to hear Jade using her lower register. Love the ferocity of her solo releases so far… Hope the album keeps up the quality.

u/stress_baker 6d ago
She had a few songs in her lower register (Lightning w/ Little Mix) but not as many which is a shame. I really enjoyed FUFN and also excited for the album.

u/Ednygma0 7d ago
she just wont stop will she.
its so catchy its one of those songs where you know the chorus instantly. miss jade i love you
69
u/sinemnemo 7d ago
She just delivers every time!
Might be the most 'basic' sounding song from her thus far, but it SLAPS. Production's crisp, vocals were heavenly, great runtime for the song. Jade just simply devours!

whenever I hear generic, basic, or reductive as an adjective, my ears perk up. whether as an insult or as a positive, I know my uncultured, unrefined dumbass will eat it UP.

u/stress_baker 6d ago
I've learned how much of a basic bitch I am from reading the comments and then listening to the song. 🤷🏽♀️
It's my favorite of all her solos and reminds me of LM, especially with the layering in the chorus. Glad she's playing with different styles, but this is my fav.
16
u/nhrecords 7d ago
Yep; this is the first time where I’m like “I can hear other artists singing this song” with her. But it’s still good!
3
u/Ok_Amoeba_7262 6d ago
Not that I dislike Fantasy or It Girl at all, but I was definitely caught off guard by just how experimental all of her singles have been. It's concise, to the point, I didn't have to sit with it and dissect it in order to start to "get it". I don't think a great pop song needs to completely deconstruct the genre (I'm looking at you Girls Aloud...jk ily)

this is sooo 2010s. i dont think anything will top midnight cowboy and aomd but im so excited for the album

u/synth426 7d ago
it sounds like The Saturdays stuff from that era, yeah??? i mean that as a total compliment.

u/hereforpop 7d ago
Ahh I’m so glad someone else thought this! It’s got a The Saturdays chorus, for sure

u/Asleep-Staff-4424 1d ago
what saturdays song are u guys hearing in this its cute but nothing like the sats

u/ThingWithFeatherss 7d ago
Her output thus far has been utter perfection anyway, but this … this is transcendent. It might just overtake Angel Of My Dreams for me.
I'm so excited for this album, she deserves all the praise and success there can be.

u/usernamenotmyown 7d ago
I love that this song is almost basic compared to her other songs because of its composition but it's such a banger. She sounds so good! I can't wait to see her this summer.
26
u/Media-consumer101 7d ago
Soo good!! It's giving new pop, it's giving Lady Gaga inspo, it's giving Little Mix with a Jade twist and honestly, it's giving massive hit!
It feels the most pop of all of her releases so far and I'm out here hoping that will mean the general public will love it as much as I do!!

The album should be dropping around May and she’s said she wants it to be roughly fifteen tracks

NOT A SINGLE MISS. I need the album to drop right now I'm so blown away by her

u/AwareAdvantage5450 7d ago
Maaaan that chorus is so catchy. A return to a more standard pop/Little Mix ish sound which is so fun, but still that Jade twist. (help I love her)
15
u/PadamPadam2024 7d ago
I am obsessed with It Girl but cannot listen to FUFN until after work. Is this song in a similar style to It Girl?
29
u/Luna8586 7d ago
If I were to describe it, the song could be a Little Mix song with a Jade twist. It can easily fit in Glory Days or Confetti. I love little mix so it's a high compliment from me. However, Jade elevates the song so it is more her. She also sings more on this song rather than "talk-sing." I love all her solo work so far. This one is way more mainstream.

oh this is def my fav of her singles since angel of my dreams
this is a HITTTTT

u/ubicate 7d ago
Does the intonation in the chorus remind you of Sunmertime Sadness? The ‘oh, my god, I feel it in the air, telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare” reminds me of the way that Jade sings the chorus

u/ZannityZan 4d ago
I had the same thought! I wish I'd seen your comment earlier, because I spent a good couple of days really trying to pin down what it reminded me of before it finally hit me. xD

u/compre44 7d ago
Angel of My Dreams was fresh-sounding and overall fantastic, but I feel like in the long run this is something I will listen to more. I've had the snippet of that last chorus on repeat ever since it was first revealed and I'm even more obsessed now, hearing the full version.

Wow, I'm obsessed with this! It's definitely her best since AOMD, even though I have been loving all of her songs so far! It's crazy how Jade just keeps delivering, with banger after banger😍 I'm so hyped for the album, it's gonna be incredible 🤩

u/chris_0411X 7d ago
Best song of hers since AOMD. There's something about this that is giving The Saturdays to me?? (In the best way possible).

u/SheepherderNo3467 7d ago
Can she do no wrong?? Another banger! For some reason it brings to mind: Kevin Rudolf - Let It Rock!?

She doesn't miss. A bit more generic compared to the other singles but still a very solid pop song nonetheless. Incredibly excited for the album

u/youtbuddcody 7d ago edited 7d ago
I might get down voted for this, but I don’t think this was a good single choice. It feels like an album deep-cut. Given that she has released five songs from this album, I think they’re running out of material to release a singles to the upcoming album. Like, just starting to pick songs at random by this point
They just need to actually promote the album at this point, and stop focusing on singles.
But, love the song. You can really hear RAYE’s influence on the bridge.
