Is it me, or does the song sound TOO upbeat considering the lyrics. I guess I'll reserve my opinion till I've heard the whole song.

Breath easy, they fixed it and it now says 2011. That kinda thing annoys me too.

thanx for staying on top of things!!!

Is this what we were expecting from "the reigning queen of rock'n'roll"??? Sounds like another forgettable "Everyday". Months ago I wrote I was sooooo afraid about the Stewart-Nicks team... I hope I was not right.

I'm liking Stevie's voice a lot, especially that last, soft "died." But yeah, the production is UBER-commercial. I was hoping for something a bit edgier.

But, so exciting to hear new stuff!!!

I haven't heard the snippet yet, but I didn't remember this demo at all. Just found it on my laptop and listened to it. It's definitely got potential as a demo (and I'm sorry, but a lot of them just don't), so I'm curious to hear what she's done with it. Did she perform this on Ellen?

Also, am I the only one who couldn't care less about chart positions, sales, marketing, or radio airplay? I didn't even know artists released "singles" anymore.

No this song is a lot more hookier than Everyday. It's stronger than Say You Will, Everyday, Maybe Love, If you Ever did Believe and she wrote it herself. It's very fleshed out. Besides, there is supposed to be some Tom Petty like rock on this album.

Her voice sounds excellent on this. Not old like I thought it would be.

This snippet is not filling me with any confidence... more Adult Contemporary with mundane production and strained vocals is all I'm hearing.

Strained Vocals? How so?

The production is better than Everday which sounded dirgelike and the voclas are more lively.This is not quite the earth shattering new single that alot of us were hoping for but it is very well done .

I still don't think it's a strong lead single. That being said, they definitely surpassed by my expectations for this song!

And, yes, I do hear some autotuning on there... but I guess it is what it is. She sounds so young... and as much as I hate to admit it, this sounds like something that could have fit on a Taylor Swift album; it's that contemprary sounding. It's a little bit slick, but it has a nice bounciness to it that would not sound out of place next to Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus.

Hopefully "brown" is the new "black!" It's so sad that, when you click on the "Visit nicksfix.com" link on the WB page, you get that tired old website. I wonder when her official site will finally get blinged out with the new album artwork... perhaps next year?

markolas · #87 01-13-2011, 01:46 PM

Listened to the snippet. I think it sounds pretty good...they definitely fleshed out the demo. It's definitely AC/pop, but I don't have a problem with that at all. Tom Petty is as "hard rock" as I go. The album could be full of songs along the lines of "Garbo" and "Sleeping Angel," and I'd be fine with it.

Everything has been a small step from the weak single Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind.

I mean Everyday was better than that. Say You Will was a little better than Everyday. And this song might do it for her. It's better than Say You Will. I like the words and production. I wish the download would work. Come on!!!!!!!! Let's hear the whole song.

It's not a rock song, it's adult contemporary. I myself am very pleased with the song, the artwork, etc, but obviously Stevie can't please everybody.

Louie, I have to agree with you from just this snippet, but am holding my breath till I hear the whole song. Mostly I'm not impressed with the arrangement. Not edgy or innovative, very predictable and pleasant instrumentation

and it's too happy sounding & upbeat for the lyrics, not mournful and suffering. I hope I'm eating my words once I hear the whole song.

I'm excited as anyone here to get new Stevie music, but my heart sank a bit when I heard this.
I'm afraid this could be another "Everyday" (cept Stevie wrote it) meaning there must be better songs on the record to offer up 1st than this?
