Anyone heard this yet? It's on Spotify now.
They took some Freddie vocals from "When this old tired body wants to sing" and "The Golden Boy" and built something out of it.
My impressions: Fred's voice sounds so out of place on this... It's OK as a song - it has some moments. It has so little of Freddie on it - it seems exploitative to call it a Freddie Mercury song.

well, it's not really a Freddie Mercury song, nor is it being marketed as such. His name is on it because it's for the MPT and he's been sampled on it, and it has been written in tribute to him. Although I did see one press report that said 'new Freddie Mercury song premiered at birthday party' or something, which is obviously stretching the truth a bit
I think it's an interesting piece of work, I really like it. I'd be surprised if it dents the charts, but I think it's a nice piece of work.

It's bloody awful and I'm being polite.
There's a reason no previews were available and you had to buy it to find out how utterly shite it is.

It's very repetitive and it should has been called "When This Old Tired Body"... Project and the idea itself is nice, especially the sound as it was meant to sound oriental but the outcome.... meh... Freddie is nearly absent on this track. His vocal has been used 4 times and basically it's the same phrase over and over... If I were in the creator's shoes, I'd use more samples, build the song more in form of a dialogue/ call-response and try to avoid repetitiveness of music phrases.
Sadly every song from Mr Bad Guy is way better than this.

God that is truly awful.
Yeah...it was not worth the € 0,99 I paid for the download.
It's boooooooooriiiing. That's the worst thing a piece of art can be.

You actually paid for that heap of shit?
Total crap. Shouldn't have been released at all.
Whoever used the Freddie bits in the way they did, is very lazy. Yeah, it is very boring to listen to.

Problem must be at your end - it still works for me.
This was hilariously bad.
It is quite the feat to produce a track that would be improved by the removal of Freddie Mercury, but they have managed it.
Take Freddie out and it's a quaint little ditty, the Freddie solo vocal is just a little bit jarring.
The verse where they all sing together is the only bit of Freddie I'd leave in, that bit does actually work ok.
