I did have to check the Letterman appearance and thank you it's really great!
That gentleman (Mr. Ferry) is really holding up well

Singing is not a mandated requirement of rock music - ask Bob Dylan. 
At least this is a little more up-tempo than most of that easy-listening, "champagne" music that Ferry's been involved in since the 1980s.

It's not so much that he can't sing, it's just not much of a melody. The groove is 100% Avalon-era - we've heard that synth before. The intensity is gorgeous. It's almost like this is a recorded jam session.

or maybe he can't rap. Avalon was a major seduction album in 1983. He could sing juuuust fiiine then!

Good tune.  I've always been a Bryan Ferry fan - the quintessential techno-crooner. I like the old Roxy days .  This album cover is sort of an homage to the Roxy original, IIRC.  And then there's Eno and Manzanera.  Wow.

I disagree, I've heard this 3 times lately and it intrigues me more each time. I'm giving it an 8.

Original is much better. Why Bryan had to repeat the same riff?

This video came on in a bar I was in the other night. I had the hardest time convincing people that it was new Bryan Ferry...I enjoy anything he sings, even a grocery list...

Personally, I think this song sucks. I think that because I can't help comparing it to True To Life, which is where he got a lot of the music for this song from. It was his song (along with Roxy Music's), but Jesus, Bryan, be original. What's the point exactly of 'writing' and recording a 'new' song if a very large portion of it is simply a recording of something that you did twenty-nine years ago? Extremely disappointing. I expected better.

Talking through a reverb is not singing.

This is one of the best songs in a long time. Also a great video to go with it.
It's funny reading the complaints about it being played too much. When I first got the album last fall that's exactly what I did, at the risk of burning out on it. I've since put my collection of Roxy Music albums in heavy rotation. Hoping the new Roxy Music tour makes it to the U.S.

I'm really liking the new Bryan Ferry music.  This song in particular just compels me to drift into an exotic location and soak up the atmosphere with my eyes closed.  Lovely imagery, and the music itself is really exceptional, too.  8, with potential.... {#Meditate}{#Sunny}

Good song but this has been played a lot lately.  There are so many good Bryan Ferry(or Roxy Music) songs to choose from though.  Please put this aside for a while and play another of his songs.

That opening synth riff made me turn around thinking ' True to Life' but just a tad different.

Who could blame him for attempting to reproduce an almost 30-year classic, Roxy Music's Avalon, a great album.  You go BF!  I loved it - 9
