I don't really care for Justin's new song. I'm hoping it grows on me.

here if you've not heard it.

i still refer to my twitter opinion on it, which, every other time he says 'suit' it sounds like 'shit' and yeah. nhft at all, i laugh.

According to the lyrics, he IS saying "shit":

I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit, tie
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
Can I show you a few things?
A few things, a few things, little baby cause
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
Let me show you a few things
Let me show you a few things

According to the rapgenius.com's lyrics explanation, it's meant to sound like "tight-shit", meaning he likes to wear tight clothes.

It's OKAY. Maybe if somebody remixed it and gave it a faster, more danceable beat, I'd dig it more.

.....

you've just made my night because I thought maybe I heard wrong but now it's funnier that it's true (even though the explanation makes sense).

I'm not keen on it. Too much crazy falsetto-style singing for my taste.

[hamarakissa.livejournal.com]

I'm not keen on it either :x And most likely I won't like it even after listening to it a few times. This is one I'll just put to the side :(

It sounds like a grower to me. Like I was a bit meh (asside from thinking it sounds SUPER like an obscure French pop band I used to be really into 8 years ago) but I can tell once it's on the radio playlist and I hear it 14 times a day I'll be singing it all weekend and digging it against my will.

It's... boring and kind of messy. IDK. :/

I thought that he was saying shit. So. Glad to know my hearing hasn't completely gone. :)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

this is a good idea, i hope it happens.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't mind the falsetto but. I don't know, the song as a whole doesn't sound good. (to me)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

How much do I love that you said "it sounds like a grower" ? and. I agree with you. Well, like I said in the post, I hope it grows on me.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That is a good description.

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

my thoughts exactly

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

No, I don't like the sound, either. It doesn't seem like him at all.

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was just like...I was waiting so long for THIS?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

maybe some of the other songs on the album are good? or at least better?
