JADE - "FUFN" + Debut Album

I’m finding it so weird that she hasn’t entered Itunes yet when Angel went straight in at #1 in 5 minutes and Midnight Cowboy entered at #55 in less than an hour?

Was the version earlier this week a demo/early mix or just a lesser quality version of the actual thing?
(Like: is it worth hunting down too, or basically the same thing)
 
To me the last minute is the best part. Another balls to the wall track. It felt like I was listening to a remixed version at the beginning and that isn’t a bad thing. She sounds ethereal on the ‘passion, pain, pleasure’ hooks
 
I’m usually sucker for a vocal distortion but it almost feels a bit toooo much when sandwiched between the amazing pleasure/pain hooks and the big 80s notes. The second verse is a touch hard to hear. On second listen the clarity of the second verse is my only complaint for the song.

Overall, her commitment to making songs that are a nightmare to sing along to is actually a gag and I love it. The top line is SO catchy and the runs and adlibs she’s throwing into it are such a gorgeous pop moment. Whistle for me, Jade!

I like that it’s another bombastic track, you can’t predict where each of her songs are going which makes me very excited for the album. I get why La Chapelle was keen to do the visuals to this song. If the video isn’t “sexy, kinky, 80s roller disco Donna Summer” I’ll be shocked!
 
This is totally outstanding - one of the best singles of the year. I’m really worried it doesn’t sound like a hit though - I hope her label doesn’t try to course correct if it isn’t.
If they’re still leading with FUFN (Fuck You for Now) into the album, there’s absolutely no need to “course correct”.
