So I just listened to the single.

The ballad (both with SRM and solo) is okay. It's not as bad as some people said. I prefer it without the video, because the video is just promo for the movie really. But it's a nice Stephanie-esque ballad, and I am happy (but not THRILLED) with it.

KISSES is amazing, I've been listening to that a lot. I'm glad that the b-side was so excellent, it would have been easy for them to throw it away and give us crud.

Changin' is a nice add-on, especially since I love that song, and I think Steph sings it better solo (even though I love Roma, I enjoy the song more when Steph sings it by herself).

Not a BAD single (the cover is pretty, but did someone tell this girl she has an ugly smile? Because she never seems to lol) but the a-side and PV could use a bit of work. Otherwise, not completely bad. Let's hope she has some lives and the movie has promotion so it'll sell!
