I do appreciate this smooth seventies soul lushness. Like the song a lot, though Bruno is acting up in that video, doing the absolute most possible while sitting down.
"Smokin' out the Window" is wonderful. I still find him kinda cringet cuz he thinks he's the first person ever to sample the 70s, but I've definitely got time for it.
I like it more than Skate but less than Leave The Door Open. It does sound like a song a computer would write if it was told to write a Bruno Mars song. But its been rising on US Spotify again and is number one now so clearly the public are feeling it.
After a slow start “Smokin’” has propelled into this midweek’s Top 10. Two other album tracks have charted also - I assume this is #3 behind Taylor and Little Mix in the albums midweeks?
I can understand it maybe missing top 5 given the new releases from Taylor, LM and Rod Stewart, plus Sheeran and ABBA, but to be behind new releases from
Damon Albarn and Idles and the Kylie reboot is a bit of a disappointment.
