you may think its boring or whatever but hello is the biggest musical event since like.....the 2000s
Don't get me wrong, I actually like it the most out of the 3 (she deserves all the records more than Narc) but I honestly expected something much better and a little progress too.
I honestly think Home's songs would've done better than the R8 singles if they were singles.
Towards the Sun > FFS
Dancing in the Dark > BBHMM
As Real As You and Me > AO
In quality + hit potential!
I wouldn't go as far to call them better than the already perfect R8 singles, but they are also all very good. Dancing In The Dark has become one of my favorite Rihanna songs. Child pandering queen, poor Kopy.
The most shameless rework of someone like you was Stay. Hello's midtempo chorus saves the song. Sure it's generic but I don't see why that would bother ATRL.
Belting over a piano about your ex that you haven't seen in a while who's probably over you but you're still hung up on? Obviously the arrangement is different but it's boring and kinda cliche but it's Adele so I love it anyway.
