cover hard

oh brother.

It does, there’s no way y’all don’t hear it

Not a slight against the song but let’s be real here

And no, I’m not implying that Weeknd invented that style of music

The Weeknd’s influence here is clear, Harry’s first two albums contain nothing that sounds like this

Breaking news

Artists can evolve over time

Breaking news, Harry isn’t the first pop artist to come out with a single that sounds like this since the massive success of Blinding Lights

It’s a good song lmao but there’s nothing wrong with pointing out what the clear and direct recent influence is

damn im pretty disappointed

doesn’t compare to sign of the times or lights up at all

*since the massive success of Dua Lipa

Lame that he abandoned his sound to chase hits

She gets credit too because her singles were popping the same time Blinding Lights was ringing off

They tryna say I’m crazy for thinking this is a blatant attempt to chase a hit and capitalize on the 80s revival sound right now that Weeknd and Dua popularized

I don’t think he abandoned his sound at all

This isn’t that far off from other songs he’s made

i kinda see the weeknd comparisons but this sounds more like a strokes song to me

This is far closer to blinding lights and the weeknds version of "80s pop" than Dua. Let's stop saying the weeknd and dua were making the exact same style of pop music. And even then, I agree that this is a unique take on it. Harry's pulling more from actual Brit rock (not to say this isn't pop af, it is).

The sound of what? Adore You and Watermelon Sugar?

Honestly more the earlier self titled sound

I really liked him coming out with a single that avoided pop and commerciality as much as sign of the times did

And since then it’s felt like he’s heavily shifted to get more success which I understand but it’s a shame

Best take itt. The bpm is similar to BL which is why I get the comparison but this new single is literally a rehash of Age of Consent by New Order

this just made me want to listen to power corruption & lies. good on Harry for taking inspo from iconic british bands

This is very good

i get what ur saying about mainstream sounds but that album is so f***in boring b

his new s*** is way more fun and I think different enough from what was on the charts in 2019

Too soft. Needed some crunchy guitars at the end.

This single is incredible

Can’t wait for this album, think this is gonna be the one that really solidifies him artistically

It’s 80s inspired but Weeknd and Harry fill 2 different lanes for me

This single is great and full of energy, this damn near feels like a modern day Take On Me

"abandoning his sound to chase hits" is a really funny statement
