Lead

edit
  • "Nothin' on You" is the debut solo and lead single by American rapper B.o.B" → "Nothin' on You" is the debut single by American rapper B.o.B
  • "The track features American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars on the chorus" → Change to → The song features additional vocals from American singer Bruno Mars. The word "songwriter" sound unnecessary in this sentence.
  • "It was written by Bobby Ray Simmons, Jr., along with Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine of The Smeezingtons. "The production was handled by the latter three as The Smeezingtons."→ Add a comma after "three" and complete this sentence with "who worked collectively as The Smeezingtons."
  • The song was supposed to be for Lupe Fiasco → The song was initially written for Lupe Fiasco
  • Music critics gave the song generally positive reviews, praising it for its sweetness and positive vibe, while a few criticized the track due to Mars' performance. → "Some music critics praised its sweetness and positive vibe, while..."

 Done

Background and production

edit

Can you merge "background and production" with "conception and writing"? The information presented in those section is practically the same; Would be nice if you introduce the section with the first paragraph of "conception and writing".

@LikeGaga: Sure, what do you want to call the section then? Any suggestions? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:09, 4 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Composition and influences

edit
  • "Nothin' on You" has been labeled as an R&B, hip hop, and pop, culminating in a "Southern rap ballad". It has been described as "slow" and "lulling", as well as, "charming and unabashedly sweet", having an "up lifting melody". Its chorus and bridge is "silky-smooth". Pitchfork's Jayson Greene said the whole album sound as a "sticky-sweet" for "modern-rock radio", including "Nothin' on You". Angus Batey from The Guardian called the recording "glorious, euphoric, essentially old-fashioned kind of love song". Introduce the section with this sentence.
  • "B.o.B co-wrote "Nothin' on You" with Mars, Lawrence and Ari Levine, the latter three also produced the song, under their alias The Smeezingtons." -> Please, remove this sentence, this information can is too repetitive, it can be find in the lead and in previous sections.
  • In the sound sample, you would add a more detailed description to explain the elements presents in the song which can be heard in the sample.

 Done please take a look at the third one. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:04, 4 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
