Album tracklist (likely all stylised in caps)

1 Sorry
2 Bleed
3 I Thought That I Needed You
4 Where Do You Sleep?
5 Too Much (with Jung Kook & Central Cee)
6 Tear Me Apart
7 Strangers (Interlude)
8 Nights Like This
9 What's the Move? (feat. Future & Baby Drill)
10 Strangers Pt. 2 (Interlude)
11 Deserve You
12 Call Me Instead (feat. YoungBoy Never Broke Again & Robert Glasper)
13 What Went Wrong???
14 The Line (feat. d4vd)
15 What Just Happened
16 You
17 Love Again
18 Where Does Your Spirit Go?
19 You Never Forget Your First Time...
20 Kids Are Growing Up

Obviously Love Again came out earlier this year, as did part 1 of Kids Are Growing Up, followed a bit later by Where Does Your Spirit Go? so it's nice they're still on the album. I Can't Go Back to the Way It Was (Intro) is no longer a part of it though (and I Guess It's Love was always confirmed to not be on the album)

So many songs *.* making it well worth the wait!

'BLEED' looks like it may be a small hit! It enters the UK Spotify chart at #71 today.

It's another great song, this is shaping up to be such a good album! Interesting that it's debuted higher than WHAT JUST HAPPENED... I guess the ridiculously delayed rollout of that one harmed it in the end when snippets were out there for fans to hear months back.

Held off replying for a few days so I could give the album a few spins and I can't get enough of it right now. It's a varied, versatile project but comes together brilliantly through the interludes and sequencing. F*CK LOVE is untouched (and probably will remain that way forever for sentimental reasons) but this is a really strong project.

Think this would be my rank (obviously taking out interludes):

1 LOVE AGAIN - one of the songs of the year
2 WHAT JUST HAPPENED
3 BLEED
4 WHAT'S THE MOVE? - like this far more than I thought I would, Future brings some great energy too
5 I THOUGHT THAT I NEEDED YOU - my favourite of the songs that weren't released in advance, an inspired sample use of Coldplay's Yellow throughout!
6 NIGHTS LIKE THIS - this has such a great vibe, I just wish it were longer!
7 KIDS ARE GROWING UP - part 1 of this was lukewarm for me when it came out earlier this year, the 2nd verse elevates it so much though, it's really hit me now.
8 TEAR ME APART
9 TOO MUCH
10 WHAT WENT WRONG??? - already a big grower, wasn't fussed on first play but I LOVE the energy
11 THE LINE - Laroi and d4vd sound really great together!
12 YOU
13 CALL ME INSTEAD - NBA Youngboy is not hugely necessary here but he's not bad, it's a lovely song and feels quite Bieber-esque
14 WHERE DOES YOUR SPIRIT GO? - liking this more in the context of the album but still not one I feel compelled to revisit as much as others cause of how heavy its subject matter is
15 DESERVE YOU
16 SORRY - works really well as an intro, not one I go back to in its own right though
17 WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? - don't dislike it at all, it's just the messiest song on the album for me

Talk of a 10 track deluxe at some point ohmy.gif

Docufilm out on Amazon Prime next Thursday!! Really excited to watch this.

New song out to coincide with it next week too, and there's a snippet in the trailer........ might be clowning but it REALLY sounds like Bieber at the end??? ohmy.gif

I (and others) were indeed clowning but it is quite Bieber-y. It's slower than it sounded in the trailer but a really nice song.

Finally got around to watching the docufilm today and it was a special watch. It covered Laroi's rise to fame, including meeting Juice WRLD, WITHOUT YOU's breakthrough, the creation, release and success of STAY, and the touring and music since then, as well as discussion of family, fame, love, staying grounded and losing friends (including Juice). Laroi comes across extremely well throughout, he's switched on and not unaware of how quickly success can vanish (his father, I learned, was a popstar signed by Simon Cowell who never broke through...!), so the music is his priority above all else, and he's a huge perfectionist with it.

As for a music update:
