I heard a song on the radio the other day but by the time I'd fished my phone out of my bag to Shazam it had finished. I didn't manage to catch any of the lyrics either as it was in a fairly noisy cafe.

It's a fairly recent song I believe (maybe from the last 3 years) and has a bit of a "Beautiful People" by Chris Brown or "Crazy" by Gnarls Barclay kind of vibe. So not full-on dance but that sort of genre IYKWIM. It had a man singing and was quite harmonious and nice sounding.

I know this is incredibly vague so doubt anyone will be able to help, but just posting on the off-chance. I really like the song and am desperate to find it!

George Erza maybe, he has that Gnarls vibe?

Is it Stolen Dance by Milky Chance?

If it was a radio station such as capital/kiss/radio 1 then go onto Spotify and onto the UK Top 50 playlist and skip through until you find it, it’s almost guaranteed to be there! This method has never failed me lol

i feel so old i dont know any of the songs listed so far

back to my 80's playlist

GraysPapaya · 07/05/2023 16:55

The new Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding one?

HairyFarnbarn · 07/05/2023 16:57

Do you know what radio station? They usually post their playlists online you could check the time and date

I had this exact thing before! It was location by burna boy and Dave.

If you say what redio station it will be easier to identify it.

RTFT. OP doesn’t know which station!

Holdontowhat · 07/05/2023 17:05

Maybe Years and Years - Shine or King? Or possibly The Wkend- Blinding lights or another of his?

I’m shamelessly placemarking this thread, I’m in the market for some new dancy music to run to but never know where to look. Love lost frequencies though 👍

Unsure if helpful but maybe new Lewis Capaldi song? Pointless ?

I wondered if it was Forget Me. His voice is quite distinctive though so I reckon OP would have been able to tell it was him if so.

I was going to suggest Joel Corry x MNEK - Head & Heart but I don't think that counts as chilled out.

it's one of the songs that makes me happy whenever it comes on the radio.

If you like that, may I suggest
Thunder - Gabry Ponte

Hmmm... it sounds like the Smurfs to me 😂😂

believe444 · 07/05/2023 17:19

Thanks for all the suggestions but it's not any of them!

I think it's definitely house music as a PP said.

I'll check out the UK top 50 as suggested!

So... you wouldn't describe your music taste as Smurfy then? Pfft 😂

fairgame84 · 07/05/2023 17:24

Tom grennan - lionheart?

believe444 · 07/05/2023 16:46

Omg, this is such a tune! Not the one I'm looking for but I'm definitely adding it to my playlist!

If you like this, listen to Blame too.

StreetSpirit3 · 07/05/2023 17:27

Isn’t there an app where you can sing a tune into it and it’ll name the song?

fairgame84 · 07/05/2023 17:24

No - I like that though!

It's kind of on the right track but the song I'm thinking of is way more chilled.

something by francis and the lights? he has sort of electro peter gabriel vibes

believe444 · 07/05/2023 17:32

I heard the song on Thursday at around 10.30-11am. I might check all the major radio stations for their playlists!

Was it the new Post Malone track?

Well, there aren't any squeaky high voices, no 😂
