I love IAMX. I love Chris. This is so un-IAMX, but so Chris and so new! What a fantastic and unexpected song. I never expected to hear something like this from Chris and Liam.
Having just heard the whole album, I have to say that old-school fans will not be disappointed. Fighter and Alibis are like singles and Squaring the Circle closes out the album. As someone who's taken a lot of musical inspiration from Splinter and Bloodsport, I loved this album and I can't wait to download it.
clap clap clap!! been listening to you guys since i heard you in a rusty old white van on the way to see Ash at Cambridge Corn Exchange in 1996...and you still deliver great melodies and soulful tunes...thanks...most things have turned to shit these days...nice to have something that still feels special!! Good luck with the album release...
Sounds like a natural progression from some of the DNA of the blood sport album. Definitely got some RnB vibes which is unexpected but very welcomed. I’m curious how the rest of the album will sound and contrast track by track.
So far I am liking how this album in sounding overall! I appreciate the different versions of the singles so far. To me as a fan of 20 years this feels like the natural progression of their sound. I'm thrilled they brought Simonne Jones into the mix , her voice is beautiful and compliments the sound so well
This isn't the classic Sneaker Pimps. AND THAT'S OK. It's been incredible watching Chris evolve as his own artist and I'm in love with the direction him and Liam have gone here. THANK YOU.
His evolution sleekly twists and turns up into an ever curvy Path. A path with absolutely no stagnancy. Only gentle unexpected Movement. Full of surprises and wonderment!
And that's what I call Sneaker Pimps. Thanks for the dopamine rush :) I feel that this album's gonna be one of the best of Chris work. Thanks god that song doesn't sound like IAMX! :) Can't wait for the album to be released. This song and The Fighter are so fresh!
I second this motion! I can't take IAMX, sorry Corner fans, but his stuff (aside from the unreleased Sneaker Pimps songs) just isn't why I fell in love with Sneaker Pimps... It's just not the same without all of them together! (And I'm including Ian Pickering here) I hope the whole albums continues to be this evolution of Sneaker Pimps!
This radio-friendly lightweight pop doesn't sound anything like Sneaker Pimps. What happened to the gritty trip-hop of Becoming X and Splinter? The IAMX Rework is good, but this version... it's just not for me, sorry.
I think it's manifested in the composition. The movement of the bass, the drums, the nimble vocal melody. The production deserves a nod as well. Despite being very texturally different, it reminds me of tracks like Miami Counting.

This version is really un-Iamx, as you said. But the IAMX Rework of this song sounds amazing to me.
@@blackcat6905 I love both
@@juicebox2159 So do I. Every version of the song has got its own atmosphere, seems to tell a different story. It's very interesting.
Big fan of Chris and I love how this album sounds like Sneaker Pimps

100 % I Agree

This is exactly the kind of song I was dreaming of when the album was being worked on
So good. Addictive 🔥
@@shadow_finds_light Agreed 100%. Deeply addictive!
Felt in love with this song after the first time listening to it 🥰
Beautiful like always 💔 We are waiting in Russia with live performances🙏😇

This new direction this album has forged is, imo: Epic as Fck!!
Love IAMX and Sneaker Pimps 🖤
Love this track! It's like you picked right up where Bloodsport left off!
Yay! a new song 💖 I love it!
I love your voice Chris 🖤
I’m in love with this song. It so intoxicating. It’s one of these songs that quickly grows on you. I wish the Sneaker 👟 Pimps continued success.
This is beautiful. The sound is gorgeous, the lyrics are gorgeous, I’m so excited for new Sneaker Pimps
You can tell Chris has been living in the USA with the use of the word cellophane mind u cling film doesn’t have the same ring to it 🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoy this song. HOWEVER, this error on cross geometry is jarring for my eyes.
can't unsee it now :( But the song is beautiful.
LOL me too 😭
What do you mean?
LOL sounds like latter period Prefab Sprout!!! Not sure if that's cringe-worthy or the highest praise imaginable... will let you know later ;)
I'm going to need a moment to process this one... by process, I mean play over and over! Tingles in the best way. 🖤🖤Otherworldly.
This new album is pretty good, but not sure if its "sneaker pimps" material, idk I just don't get the same vibe, but maybe thats because its so new

@@HDellamorte don't get me wrong, I love IAMX, but I don't wanna hear it on a new SP album:)
@@v1ncentify haha. Well, technically, #MeToo !! NO IAMX in a Sneaker Pimps album!
love the Vangelis-esque synth brass in there
So so beautiful !! Love it 💖
This sounds like R&B lol. Sensual baby making music. Not necessarily a bad thing, just different for them.
holy sh.t, i can’t stop listening to this song

No way. - fucking THANK YOU.
This. Is. Astonishing.
Massive!! Great Comeback.
Probably my fave from this album.

Life only remains while we are on the move transition!
@@rChavzSampson Also sounds like Polaroids on it's demo version. Agree. THIS is SP sound
Boohoo
I love how poppy this is
Passionless and boring.
Kali Ali? We will always miss you. Its like the pixies without Kim Deal.
