Through the interview they express that they are already working on the follow-up album to Hazel Eyes (18.10) which is mostly hookless and not catchy on purpose (15:20). Sam's guy loves hyperpop and heavy pop music (10.45) so that's the inspiration.

18.30-19:30: "Its in a more naughty playful way. Hazel eyes is a traditional queer love romance album and while making that I'm hungry to shake my titties and encapsulate how I feel in my relationship where I love to dance and I am free and I am still inspired by intense hyperop and electro sounds."

Also Sam revealed their team did not want they to release Unholy as the lead single.

Now that's where you're wrong, @Yog is

But what we actually need from them is more pure pop gems like How Do You Sleep, Dancing With a Stranger and Diamonds

Why would you say that? plenty of pop artists jump genre to genre but of course it's problem when Sam does it..
