Love the cover
woo! if the album's full of quality like This Girl and Don't You Know then I'm very much looking forward to it
OH MY GOD YES
OMG i literally cannot wait for this~
'Don't You Know' has grown on me, but I'm not wholly convinced this isn't gonna be an album of 'This Girl' clones.
I just get the feeling nothing on it will be anything even close to This Girl. Still worthy of a stream though...
I hope we are proved wrong. Song of his earlier remixes are stunning production-wise!
Next single 'I Feel So Bad' is out tomorrow.

1. "Melody" (featuring Luke Pritchard)
2. "This Girl"
3. "Don't You Know" (featuring Jamie N Commons)

I Feel So Bad is definitely This Girl Pt. II
Yeah, I Feel So Bad sounds just like This Girl in the verses if it had a baby with maybe Intoxicated in the break down. Not really complaining though, bit of a jam <3
Excited to hear Rae Morris collab tbh
liking 'I Feel So Bad' This album should be great then, Rae Morris will probably sound excellent on a Kungs track too!
I thought 'Don't You Know' was a clone, but that has the exact same structure as 'This Girl'.
I Feel So Bad is a massive jam. Better than Don't You Know.
Both "Don't you know" and "I feel so bad" are nowhere as good as "This Girl".
You Remain is out tomorrow apparently
My word that was an absolute mission to sit through^^ stick to the upbeat songs please Kungs.
Has anyone actually listened to this yet? Spotify delay prevented me from even bothering, but it's on there now so I've given it a run through this evening.
The singles (This Girl, Don't You Know, I Feel So Bad) are, obviously, the standouts of the album, but that's because in an era of tracks that all sound quite similar, it's the songs that have been heard the most that are going to sound the best initially.
Delving a bit deeper, 'Wild Church' is actually a very interesting instrumental and reignited my interest just as I was becoming a bit bored of listening half way through.
If I'm honest, the album is full of your run-of-the-mill tropical and deep house songs but with little flourishes of deviation to keep it interesting. 'Bangalore Streets' is a highlight as it throws future bass/trap into the mix which is quite refreshing to hear even though this sound is being over produced at the moment too.
The Rae Morris collab at the end of the album is generic but also amazing because of Rae's impressive vocals.
Overall, it's a solid album, but not blow your tits off amazing and perhaps isn't something I'll return to over and over again.
