American Money 681 Posted July 7, 2015 Wow I never noticed how much she sounds like Lizzy from MS MR, if MS MR changed their production to what Halsey's it'd be hard to tell the difference 3 Quote Nothing scares me anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nowornever 392 Posted July 8, 2015 I wonder if she's releasing another song!! https://twitter.com/halseymusic/status/618624276049096704 My best guess would be that it's Coming Down because it hasn't been officially released yet, but it'd be cool if it were a new song 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 857 Posted July 8, 2015 Wow I never noticed how much she sounds like Lizzy from MS MR, if MS MR changed their production to what Halsey's it'd be hard to tell the difference I always thought the same thing. I think Halsey is a bit smoother/easier on the ears though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nowornever 392 Posted July 12, 2015 I honestly love it. It's a lot better than the demo, and the demo was my favorite Halsey song. And it's being received really well, sooo 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Money 681 Posted July 12, 2015 Why try-hard? The lyrics are what bother me, they just seem so cringeworthy. Especially in the chorus with the whole We are the New Americana, high on legal marijuana. Raised on biggie and nirvana etc. The song feels like it's trying too hard to be some outsiders anthem and the overall effect just comes up flat for me. Perhaps it'll grow on me, but my first ten listens or so I get the impression she's trying too hard when she doesn't need to. 2 Quote Nothing scares me anymore.

thatsomason 1,202 Posted July 12, 2015 I like the new version more, it's very spacious, it has more depth if that makes sense 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KillForLove 13,361 Posted July 12, 2015 I hate the new version, the production just sounds very cheesy and I hate the snare in the pre-chorus. It makes it sound like its trying too hard to be an "anthem" which I didn't get from the demo The lyrics are what bother me, they just seem so cringeworthy. Especially in the chorus with the whole We are the New Americana, high on legal marijuana. Raised on biggie and nirvana etc. The song feels like it's trying too hard to be some outsiders anthem and the overall effect just comes up flat for me. Perhaps it'll grow on me, but my first ten listens or so I get the impression she's trying too hard when she doesn't need to. I felt like this the first time I hard the demo. I just ended up finding the chorus very catchy and it got stuck in my heard really easily. As the song grew on my I noticed (imo) the verses are really clever and have a decent amount of depth in the wordplay she uses (I can see how the baseline message could come off as trying too hard). I do agree that the chorus comes off as very catered to the "I shop at urban outfitters and I'm not like most girls at my high school because I smoked a cigarette once" but I feel like the song (again particularly the verses) have some decent writing in them and I can't deny that the song is really catchy. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comeintomybedroom 8,662 Posted July 12, 2015 I prefer the demo, because the production on this new version kinda sucks, but it's a good song so whatever. I think someone said she couldn't clear a sample so she had to re-do it? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
