It's just sort of not quite there it's good and it'll probably grow but its not immediate all that interesting or original but churning out song after song the quality will suffer and eventually dip there is something to be said of going away and taking your time on making a decent record.

I know what you mean. I just don't know what to make of it. It's not bad and could grow on me like Russian Roulette did but there's something lacking about it. The beat, her vocals and the lyrical theme seem to belong to a separate song each and sound good on their own but put together they just don't match. And I found the chorus a bit too repetitive and a bit cliche...We'll see how it sounds on air once it hits the playlist of radio 1 etc.
