Exciting! It’s a shame he doesn’t get much recognition in the UK after Riptide Lay It On Me was a great song and a personal fav of his for me Haven’t given much listen to the others, but I also didn’t realise he’d released a third single from the new album so I’ll check it out soon!

Totally agreed. The first album had a number of fantastic singles on it as well as album tracks - i.e. "Mess Is Mine", "Fire And The Flood", "Georgia", "First Time", "Winds Of Change", "All I Ever Wanted". I did find the album too long and would cut a few of my least favourites, but that turned it into a corker of an album.

It looks as though "Like Gold" was a promo single as there is no video but still worth a listen. Good new single too. Loved "Lay It On Me" - very strong single!

Saturday Sun out I like it but Lay It On Me remains a clear highlight so far

Posted by: Midge 2nd February 2018, 09:26 AM

I'm glad someone else cares Really liking the new track though as you say "Lay It On Me" is the highlight so far. All the new tracks are 7/10 plus for me which is a good sign.

The new single "We're Going Home" is really growing on me as well!

i like him too, riptide is such a classic
the newies are nice enough but lack a bit of oomph to take it to the next level

was talking about him with a friend yesterday and afte 2 hours we realised I was talking about Vance Joy while my friend was talking about Foy Vance the names are really too similar

!!

Vance Joy would've made Rudimental's Never Let You Go so much better We're Going Home is growing on me now too

Posted by: Midge 23rd February 2018, 11:12 PM

This is out NOW! I only remembered this evening after having looked forward to it for AGES! Onto track 4 so far. I'd already heard tracks 1-4 (and 7) so the proof is in the remainder of the album...

Posted by: Midge 23rd February 2018, 11:37 PM

Well on first listen, the songs I'd heard aside, all the tracks are merging into one for me... it'll need more listens.

Posted by: Dexton 24th February 2018, 02:59 PM

Haven't heard the album yet, although I have to say I'm not expecting much more than this I liked his last album but 100% the singles were way better than any album tracks, I assume the same will be this time around too (Lay It On Me > Riptide )

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 03:22 PM

Haha you're right to be fair, I did pick out a couple of album tracks from album 1 though that were excellent ("Winds Of Change", was "All I Ever Wanted" a single in the end?) on top of the singles which were ALL excellent, the rest was kind of filler. This album is similar. The 5 tracks we've heard already are the best plus "Take Your Time". I notice "We're Going Home" is up to 4 on Australian iTunes! Is he all over the radio there??? I'll find out in a week's time!

Oh and "Riptide" is his best you wally. One of the best songs of the CENTURY

Posted by: Dexton 24th February 2018, 03:34 PM

I rarely listen to Australian radio anymore so I have no idea

Riptide is amazing I don't doubt that, but LIOM edges it for me Riptide was on the radio practically non-stop here though so overexposure plays a big part in me prefering LTOM

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 24th February 2018, 05:44 PM

It does feel like all the best songs were out there already, but I've put a big chunk of the newies onto my playlist so they could grow! One of These Days is my favourite on first listen

Posted by: Midge 11th April 2018, 03:27 PM

"Saturday Sun" is the next single - video released tomorrow (Thursday)!

Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 07:16 AM

really liking the album, very enjoyable

Posted by: Midge 12th April 2018, 10:11 AM

Yeah same, the more I hear it, the more the 'new' tracks grow on me. There's not one I'm skipping.

Posted by: Dexton 21st September 2018, 01:21 PM

Single Edit released for I’m With You! A great choice for the next single I think

Posted by: Hans 21st September 2018, 06:37 PM

Definitely a good choice, one of my favourites from the album! Funny as I was only last week thinking, "when are we getting an announcement of a new Vance Joy single?" and here it is!
