Not a bad choon, but her voice is a bit tinny for my taste.

Tinny? What lol?
I think some of her ad-libing is a bit over the top to be honest, but she's got a great voice and I love the track. |

Hmmm seems like an ok effort, but the days when soap stars can glide into the charts are over. I'm personally not sure that this song will have the appeal to propel her to any kind of meteoric success-my prediction is that the song will land in the top 40, but possibly somewhere between the 30 and 40 mark followed by a quick drop out of the charts.

I was hoping for better if I'm being honest. I think this is a sure flop sadly.
She should have stuck it out with EastEnders. |

I expected more from the final edit of the song, but the results are awful. The video is colourful and artistic and I like it, but the song is just dreadful. There seems to be no real substance to the song, so Preeya tries to compensate by ad-libing on EVERY line, is so annoying when she's doing this every minute. As a result the song sounds all over the place, she needs to keep it under control, I prefer it when ad-libing is at the end of the song like most artists do, I don't mind it in the verses, but only a little bit, Preeya is just too OTT, trying to prove she can sing. We know you can Preeya, so there's really no need for her to scream over all the words. She made a mistake by releasing this instead of In My Heels. It maybe a RedOne song, but its far far superior to this drivel. Shimmy = My Man by Jade Ewen. Both great artists with good videos but just awful songs, this won't scratch the top 20 unless the public really really take to it.

....not great on a first listen....what's with the 'Laaarndon' accent creeping in occasionally...trying to be a little bit to street? She is a talented singer though (in other stuff I have heard of hers) but this is just bland.

I wish her well, but this song is all too predictable and cliché to stand out from other Soap stars who have ventured into the pop music world

I think a good effort by Preeya Kalidas... i think the featured artist definitely brings the song to life.
Good luck to her, i think to be fair if she really wants to be successful as a singer then she needs some stronger material... just my opinion. Wonder how this will fare? |

the video is good, her voice is great but the song is kinda weakthe indian beats don't really fit in with it i think (not trying to be offensive) |

Sounds like its 5 years old already. Its like something released from 2005.
Hardly cutting edge. |

I'm not a fan of this song and personally I don't see it charting well, although I could well be eating my words soon enough.
The thing is, she has been on the West End - she can sing. This song just doesn't demonstrate that at all. |
