For any new artist aiming to make waves, taking big bold steps is a must.
Clearly, it’s a memo Zendaya has familiarized herself with, because the former Disney darling has sampled TLC’s classic smash ‘Creep’ for her aptly titled reintroduction cut ‘Something New.’
Chris Brown joins in the fun with a guest feature.
Take a listen below…
Via DPR:
Unashamedly shaped for radio, there is ironically nothing “new” here from a production, vocal, or feature standpoint.
Yet that need not (and isn’t) a hindrance.
The sample, though mostly a reminder of how great music was way back when, is used here to solid effect. What’s more, the song is catchy, infectious, and packs enough replay value to allow it to truly bloom as Spring looms.
A decent first swing of the bat.
She needs to do something new with that hair.
It’s a look , it’s not a permanent style
the song is ok, I don’t like how ppl keep sampling TLC, though bc Kat Graham did the same thing it gets redundant
Chris didn’t add anything to the song
I think Jason Derulo would’ve been a surefire hit
She should’ve released the song that Timbaland previewed. The Aaliyah inspired track would’ve killed the game
*Looks at the featured artist* rolls eyes…..
This generation of artists are quite lazy when it comes to writing tbh. Must we always use samples?
Anyways, I like it, it doesn’t sound that bad. It’s definitely a grower.
A great choreography and music video would set the tone. Nice look Zendy.
she sampled tlc
No s*** Sherlock
Cute I’m glad breed refreshed the vocal styling the hook is a Lil lacking but the production is hot! But I needed the hook to be anthemic especially when using this trademark horns!
Love ?
Chris brown killed it with that TLC flow ..
Cute.
Chris Brown’s part is actually pretty good
Mediocre, generic and lazy. *sighs*
Wtf is this mess
This sounds like every other rnb song nowadays. What happened to re-invention Or whatever you its called
Why did T-Boz + Chilli let this teenybopper bobblehead bish ZenGarden chop up one of their best songs. Creep is one of my all time faves from the 90s, and this is awful imo. And she took out the slick rick sample which was the highlight… but it’s whatever.
Underwhelmed. Do better Zendaya b/c u are a very talented stage performer.
Never thought I would say it but CB sounds amazing, really s*** but I don’t like him & I think he’s the wrong person for her first real single to Pop radieo. But If she was going to go R&B she should have had Drake,JustinBieber or Zayn. But I’m sure it will be a hit on Urban radieo & besides everyone doesn’t want a pop hit or needs one so Its about what she wants.
Meh. I mean it will probably gain traction because of the sample. But it’s just typical of him and her .
Very cute… I can hear it on radio…. However i want her album to be a lil more mature yet fun and flirty. This is a step in the right direction.
This sound like song that Rita Ora rejected, which — if that’s any forecast of how it will fair — says a lot.
Rita’s songs are usually someone else’s rejects so this is a reject of a reject kiii
“A decent first swing at the bat.” So, we just gonna pretend like “Replay” doesn’t exist now. I wonder if this new single will crack the top 20.
mess, this girl will never be more than a pretty face and awards show model
Lol she is trying too hard to win over a certain crowd with this TLC sample. This song is lazy and bland. What is Zendaya delivering that we dont get from Ciara, Tinashe, Cassie, Pia Mia, Kehlani, Mila J, or the millions of girls like them? More generic lazy beats with a Chris Brown feature. Yawn. It didn’t work our for Tinashe or Pia Mia, I doubt this formula is going to work for the serial red carpet killer. How one can drag Rihanna for being a model with a mic but support this nocalist is beyond me….
The song is okay, it’s catchy and this is what she needs to be put on the the musical map. This is what i was talking about on the Tinashe post about having a generic voice and having to have a stand out single
I’m a CB fan, but I wish she would’ve used somebody else. Somebody “fresher” like say Trevor Jackson or Jacob Lattimore. I don’t want to hear CB sing another verse or hook for at least a year. That said, the song is dope. She might actually get on the urban radar with this.
Lol they can’t even sell their own music. Why do you want Chris Brown’s struggle sons Tevor & Jacob lmbo
I LOVE this song…I teach a cardio fitness dance class in Atlanta and I did some choreography to it that pays homage to the iconic movement from TLC’s Creep video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMSNSZqhD-M
