spiritboy Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Just listened to this and boy, what a great album. Eye of the Night sounds like a Bon Jovi song. 1
Flocon Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I knew I wasn't into him, except for Lonely Dancers that sounds really good ! So I tried the album, and I think I'm not the target lol
Solgayleo Posted April 11 Posted April 11 This album has no skips for me. Fainted Love and Miss You are the highlights, along with all of the pre-release singles. His voice was wasted on those whisper pop songs. His range is incredible, and he commits to and nails the 80s pastiche so well. The vocal layering is perfect. It's a shame that this will underperform. He's admittedly wayyy too late to the game with the 80s nostalgia-core, but he and his cowriters/producers executed it better than almost everyone else that tried it imo. I really hope the commercial underperformance doesn't discourage him from working with Max and Co again bc they made some magic here 9 1
thedeathbymusic Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Maybe the album wasn't done but this should have been out last summer.. the timing is so random and Never Ending Song should have been pushed. I'm also shocked we haven't gotten an Olviia Rodrigo collab..? That could have really helped the album perform better. A lot of wasted time and potential here

spiritboy Posted April 13 Posted April 13 The fact that this debuted higher than Benson Boone with his huge single proves Conan has a nice fanbase. If only they push his songs to radio or do some playlisting. 1
MusicIsMyMaster Posted April 16 Posted April 16 "Miss You" is SOTY my lord, that hook is so 90s Celine Dion wow 1

Slate Posted April 19 Posted April 19 (edited) Finally listened and it's definitely a downgrade from the excellent Superache. I can appreciate what he tried to do with this sound but it felt undercooked. He should call up Dan N again for the next one. Edited April 19 by Slate 2
SweetOreosOfHeaven Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Love Fainted Love. Him and Allie X did 80s perfectly.

If only they push his songs to radio or do some playlisting. Italian radios are SPAMMING Lonely Dancers for no apparent reason, the song is N/A everywhere here, I had to send an e-mail to the major radio we use in the office with my colleague because we were sick of it and its fake ass British accent 1
