Dua Lipa - Self Control (Frank Ocean Cover)

[@jacobthompson1097]

Shows how good Frank Ocean is... this doesn't come close

[@Jenny-mf7iy]

franks voice is soft and hers is like STRONG as heck um

[@Tia80xp]

Let’s be honest: to cover Frank you must be brave and she is

[@willybonka6710]

It's a cover, don't expect it to be just like the original, artists like to put their own touch on covers, I can say she did pretty well

[@QuinnMiller]

I like the Frank version better, but that's an unreasonably high bar, so this is pretty nice. I like that she put her own spin on it.

[@wassadhappinau3096]

great singing but wrong energy... the song isn't meant to be triumphant.

[@eduardoabreu3058]

I find it very cool that she’s into Frank’s music. His work is one in a million, especially this album, and to understand that is to understand why no cover will ever stand out. Taking this particular song as an example: she left the “I, I, I know you gotta leave” part out, and that’s because it probably wouldn’t work out on an acoustic performance. That’s not a bad thing, though, it’s the beauty of Frank’s music: it already says a lot in its production. The sounds, the mix, the choirs, they create that nostalgic and beautifully sad feeling. Frank’s voice and lyrics are just the icing on the cake. And the icing alone, as we see here, won’t do the job. That said, I’d rather be happy she’s singing a lovely tribute to a wonderful song than coming here expecting to hear the original piece and complaining about it.

It's not bad. It's just missing the soul of the song. she's singing the song but not feeling it. She has a good voice

[@joshalicea9870]

Don’t get me wrong she can sing but this song goes terribly wrong with her voice it’s just not fitted

[@paskoxbox]

You left out the coolest part of the song

[@jacobthomasmusiq2997]

Her voice isn't for this

[@lintytick2269]

THIS - you just can't say, that it's bad, cause it's actually pretty damn good, but compared to Frank it's terrible - she's really a good singer and Frank is GOAT

[@Jedi6]

This aint it chief....

[@rawen4490]

my problem with this is that lacks the vulnerability and the emotions of the original ??

[@jussds]

this is good yall just comparing her to frank

[@cliterally]

Why do people not like this? This is pretty damn good

Naaah can’t keep a place for you.

[@MarcoJoceph]

This is where the timbre and tonal quality of the artists vocal means so much to the song- she’s gone in “chest voice” the whole damn song, with no “head” or “throat voice” or whatever you call it. This delivery is missing…

[@rae800]

Dua did an amazingly great cover...It a sexy sassy laid back soul cover...if you appreciate music your’ll be open minded enough to realise a cover from the original...when someone does a cover, l want to see their version and you’ll see the same reaction from judges on any given music show. l can guarantee the artist themselves will say the same thing. It’s a buzz hearing a version of their songs being sung and arranged differently to how the original came out...Dam people chill out!!!
