Well, he's definitely making good on his promises to actually be a little gay in his (the band's, that is) music instead of pushing that all under the rug and making everything gender neutral. Between this and Troye's My My My, really interesting time for LGBT representation in pop. I'm not sure I've ever seen a boy dance like that in a mainstream pop video before but lots of women have done so and it's described always as empowering. I wasn't sure what to think when watching it and I kinda think that could be the point. Musically, not a direction I expected at all and I think I like it, will need a few re-listens without the video though to decide. This post has been edited by Jüpiter: 7th March 2018, 09:01 PM

Maybe not a big hit like King but certainly will be successful and if the second album is like this single then it sounds very promising! Think the music video is great too!

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,175 User: 10,139	I really like this on first listen! It's not really a big lead single though, it's more a solid album track that diversifies the album a bit, perhaps the big poppy single is coming.

It won the Communion rate over King.

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 13 November 2015 Posts: 33,245 User: 22,665	I personally prefer Desire and Eyes Shut to King and Shine I think the new one is ok, maybe it's not number 1 material but it's not that uncommercial either

Break the tension Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 88,963 User: 51	For me, 'King' is their ultimate moment that anybody would have a hard job beating so I try not to compare everything to it because it's in a league of its own. I'm not disappointed in it because it's not a "banger", I ended up liking their album a lot and for example 'Take Shelter' is subtle but beautiful. Apparently details of the album and a proper first single are coming shortly, yay!

there's nothing straight about plump Elvis Pronouns: they/any Joined: 21 January 2016 Posts: 13,144 User: 22,895	Shine >>>> King for me. But that could just be because I'm old and have heard loads of songs like King before.
