It doesn't sound bad at all, but it's so reminiscent of Taylor's Style and Carly's Your Type, this sound is so overdone by now...
he/him
I don’t hear Taylor or Carly at all? It’s way closer to what The Weeknd or even Kim Petras was doing recently, which makes sense since Vaughn Oliver supposedly produced it.
He/Him
If you mean Kim's Future Starts Now I don't hear that at all. If this was her take on French disco then it's not looking bright. It's a lot more 80s pop (again, like Carly), but it also smells like label mandated single, considering all she's said about begging the label not to give up on the album.
he/him
I mean, the entirety of Kim’s scrapped Problematique album and Turn Off The Light are heavy in this exact same sound. It’s French house and synthwave, not disco by any means, and it pretty much nails it.
He/Him
Sorry for misusing the term, it's French House I was referring to. Again, to me it sounds nothing like that and a lot more like this, but we shall see the final product!
he/him
“Stupid Love”? Let’s be serious for a moment. It definitely bares more resemblance to “Future Starts Now” than that dd
He/Him
You're the one saying it sounds close to anything Kavinsky has ever done DD like I wish but that's not what it is!! But I figure this discussion is more about perception and we definitely need the final product to judge.
he/him
I believe that concern mainly came from the entire album leaking again.
People who have had the songs have said everything was finalized and in their possession as early as like.. November 2022. I believe one thing the label made her do, that people claim, is cut the album from 14 tracks to 12, which is how "Tommy" & 'Make Up" got cut.
But like... this is largely the sound of the album. And yeah, this could only be like... Carly-like if Carly Rae Jepsen suddenly decided to just do a bunch of coke ddd. "Style" is an even weirder comparsion.
he/him
The synths are the exact same. Slayyyter’s take is more uptempo for sure but the inspiration is there and the woman herself has said as much.
So what are we gonna do now?
He/Him
Oh yeah I saw her citing those as inpos. Again, it doesn't change the fact that that preview sounds nothing like Kavinsky to me, and I'm familiar with his work, so again - it's more a matter of perception... Kavinsky is gritty, nocturnal, almost brooding at times, while the preview was giving more this.The synths are the exact same. Slayyyter’s take is more uptempo for sure but the inspiration is there and the woman herself has said as much.
Probably wait for the single to come out so I can finally see the light you are trying to show me!
he/him
Style, Future Starts Now, Love Me Harder, Do What U Want, Hold On We’re Going Home, Higher, etc. You do realize these are all pulling from the same pool of references? The things you hear in common with these tracks (the chugging synths specifically, I’m sure) are also sounds that are common in a lot of synthwave and French house tracks. She’s not out to make a Kavinsky track, she simply cited him and others within the genre as inspiration.
He/Him
I did mention that one as a comparison to a friend... you might be on to something!

It’s better than invoking “Stupid Love”
I can see what you mean but again it’s the chugging synths
he/him
Was it a different one? I posted one on the last page. She also confirmed the title, can we get a thread update? @superultra
Yeah it was the full chorus + verse\1:30 snippet from that "Sound" tab. It sounds so glorious... really what miss Petty tried with Future Starts Now and failed. It does have darker undertones.
