Elton John & Britney Spears - Hold Me Closer

[CanadaGoesGaga 2,003]

Her vocals sound so great! I love that we can hear her rich, deep, beautiful tone! I hope she sticks to this tone, as opposed to the “baby voice”.

Super cute bop with a summer chill vibe. I been vibing all day. I wish there were a few more moments for Brit to shine other than just the outro.
 

Strong 7.5 out of 10. 
 

Also why has she (her people, Sam, whoever) deleted Instagram again over the release of this? Something is still definitely up with her.

From what some of you were saying I thought she’d be buried under Elton but her vocals are pushed forward in mix. You can obviously hear it’s her. Also the ad libs are there too. 

reading people taking about her only being a “background singer” in this made me question if people heard the same song I did. Her vocals are front and center and she’s the one doing the ad-libs so it sounded quite the opposite to me. Her definitely being the main focus in this.

The way she sings "Tony Danza" is weird.  It's almost sounds like she's saying "tiny dancer" or something.

 

 

 

 

 

I'll see myself out...

Sorry but it's a bit noisy and repetitive  slowly growing on me tho

is it me or the new Elton songs sounds noisy? his vocals sounds unclear... It's like he recorded his vocals in the wind with his phone. Same problem with SFA. and we all know he recorded SFA verse during video call... I mean seriously? 

Would've loved it if it was solo Brit

It's cute. I'm as mad as Britney because they literally cancelled her, but it's a cute bop. I don't think will even come close to Cold Heart numbers, but I'm here for it to become a moderate hit with nice peaks WW.

It's okay

Okay is it hard to understand? Yes. Is the mixing horrible? Yes.  BUT is it a BOP? Yes. 
 

ps. I’m happy for her. Hope it smashes. However I think she has major underlying mental issues and I hope the new people around her are actually helping her seek appropriate help for not only the horrible trauma she has been through but also all the underlying stuff from childhood.

I doubt if it'll outsell White Christmas, but will it have me diving for the off button if it comes on the radio ? No it will not. I think it's a good, solid sonically-pleasant pop song. I would prefer if the voices weren't so muffled. If I didn't know it was Elton and Britney, there's no way I would guess. I can just about identify Elton's voice (at times), but it's hard work.

I absolutely loved it.
