When I first heard “Sweet Nothing” with Calvin Harris ft.
Florence Welch I was mad. I was really, really mad.
Where had my sweet ethereal goddess gone? Where were her
echoing trance inducing vocals?
To me this sounded like a sellout. And it was a shame.
“She’s branching out” they say.
“She’s trying new things” they say.
Both of which, are fine and well.
Compare “Sweet Nothing” to “Only For A Night” or “Remain
Nameless” and you’ll see how there’s a lot lost in translation between the
genre switch and it’s not an easy one, nor was it flawless, and it didn’t bring
anything to the table.
Is the song good? Yeah, if you take it for face value. Maybe
if the Flo-Queen came up with an alter ego Sasha Fierce that sang over dubstep tracks I
could stomach this tune a little better.
But this powerhouse singer with the voice of an angel, well…the
collab just doesn’t do anything for her.
But, more you listen to it, the more it grows on you.
It’s good, just…good. A word I’d never normally associate
with Florence Welch, it’s a step down from her normal mark of extraordinary.
It seems the writers better make Caroline wrong on the whole "sired" issue.
In the latest episode of TVD Delena fans were greatly rewarded. As a Delena fan myself, I must say, the episode was everything I wanted it to be, and I re-watched the last 7 minutes over five times (no such thing as too much Delena sex). The chemistry between Ian and Nina is flat out magical. I almost shed a tear.
If anything, this episode confirmed the lastest addition to my Christmas list-
