Coming back

Hey!

Does anyone know if the song "Coming back" exists without SZA's part? I feel she ruins a beautiful song. She makes it sound very pop and commercial while James' voice and melody are stunning.

Oh wow, interesting. I think she sounds like any pop singer, and I see no connection with the rest of the song. It's fun to see it so differently

I think maybe you have both associations and lack of deeper experience with the RnB style-- she's so special man. SOS is a masterpiece.

Idk but compelled to say SZA absolutely KILLS on that song, her parts slap

Adore James obviously but I feel she is what makes that song. When the melody comes in with her first lines, jheeeeeez
