key change in the chorus is ugly
it's okay, the direction is interesting and there's some cool bits. but it's only okay.

At least his vocals are still stunning.

this one's pretty nice

Better than "Every Little Word", but I long for a song like "Wrong A Song…" with the sonic details of "Every Little Word". Maybe that sounds better in theory...

I want to hear the song MNEK wrote.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Friday, 13 June 2014 20:35 (ten years ago) link
Okay, I really love this song now.

this song is definitely good. much better than "every little word"
production especially has a lot of things going on w/o feeling overloaded

I want to hear that In Your Clouds song he put on itunes yesterday but it's not available in the US.

That Chris Malinchak song is wonderful.
Here's "In Your Clouds":

I just streamed his iTunes Festival performance and he played a couple of new songs. A couple of songs he co-wrote with Jimmy Napes, one in particular that was pretty good was "Until The End". He also did the non-stripped-down version of "Don't Call This Love" and it might be the first MNEK production I flat-out dislike. His cover of Lumidee's "Never Leave You" is really fun.

'wrote a song about you' chorus is probably my biggest earworm of 2014... terrible shame he blew the rest of it
― r|t|c, Sunday, 28 September 2014 09:45 (nine years ago) link
which is not to say it's necessarily bad how it came out but just that it could genuinely have been a real smash

the 'ready for your love' follow-up also coulda shoulda have been this rereleased with verses
devolution are generally in the same super-talented (about a billion times more so than gorgon city) can't-quite-catch-that-break boat

Surprised "Wrote A Song About You" wasn't a bigger hit in the UK. Felt like it was on-trend enough to get radio play and good enough in it's own right to be massive. Also if it had been we'd probably be getting the album sometime this year instead of next like he's been saying recently.
And yeah, if the production that accompanied it at the itunes festival set is the full production, then I agree the stripped down version he did of Don't Call This Love is better. Only thing I prefer in it over the stripped version is the echoing backing vocals.

"in your clouds" is pretty good!
nothing has blown me away but i'm looking forward to it being a really nice album

I can't really square "nothing has blown me away" with "I'm looking forward to it"

that kaytranada remix of "wrote a song about you" sure rubbed off on him

Other than "Tongue", the other songs from the upcoming album are... not great. :(
