It's not standard, run of the mill radio pop, but nor is it super left field either. It doesn't mean you have to start listening to songs with the vocals really deep in the mix though. We won't judge you or think any less of you this way.

Pronouns: he/him Joined: 4 April 2007 Posts: 41,423 User: 3,217	I still think 'Desire' and 'King' are pretty much equal in terms of quality, rather similar sounding too, to the point that I can have both in my head at once and do a bit of a mash-up! I really like both, so I don't quite get why a few others are meh towards one and appear to adore the other. That's not just me singling out Jonjo because that's evidently the case for most people. Quite excited for the album. I hope they have something even better up their sleeves for the single that launches the album!

I'm looking forward to whatever it is though, "King" was far too similar to "Desire" for me to properly enjoy it. I still adore "Take Shelter" though.

Suggestion: Their wiki describe them as Synth-pop. They've had a number 1 single and are very mainstream now. I'd say send them to the pop forum.

Break the tension Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 88,910 User: 51	'King' is so much stronger than 'Desire' in every way. (though I still like it). YAY for album news, I've been awaiting this!

It seems a lot more restrained and reigned in, whereas on 'Desire' I just can't bear the chorus at all to the point it ruins the song for me. Other than that, the other songs I've heard from them (plus CB 'Stronger') are all excellent and his voice is so nice to listen to!

You don't have to be fabulous to be good Joined: 10 March 2008 Posts: 9,914 User: 5,591	When there are so many debates whether an artist should be placed - dance or indie - and it just went to #1 with a dance-pop song then surely the only forum the said artist belongs to in my opinion is pop. 'Real' is still indeed their best by miles. Haven't heard 'Worship', might do this later. 'TBA' indeed may just be the next single. And I quite like the idea of not revealing the full tracklist so early.
