May 26, 20169 yr I like the album, I feel as though the first half of the album is much better than the second part though. No Way sounds so much like a song I've heard in the past, but I can't put my finger on what it is.
May 26, 20169 yr This is such a fantastic pop record. So many great songs and potential singles, can really see this era lasting quite a while and having many chart hits actually. This is my first listen rate: 09.0 That's My Girl 11.0 Work From Home 08.5 The Life 05.0 Write On Me 08.0 I Lied 10.0 All In My Head (Flex) 09.0 Squeeze 07.0 Gonna Get Better 08.0 Scared Of Happy 08.0 Not That Kinda Girl 06.5 Dope 08.5 No Way Such a massive step up from 'Reflection' which I thought was awful with the singles and a few tracks aside.
May 27, 20169 yr Just listened to the album. FIERCE AF! Love it so much, such a step up from Reflection, which I liked as well. 10l That's My Girl - One of my favs, the beat is fierce, and one I think I'll play a lot. Next single surely 11l Work From Home - Obvy flawless 10l The Life - Fantastic Summer jam 08l Write On Me - Really cute song that I'm enjoying at the moment, though I doubt I'll care for it as much in a few months time 07l I Lied - Parts I loved, others not so 09l All In My Head (Flex) - Love! Need some convincing on Fetty's parts though 10l Squeeze - Amazing, think it would make a great single 08l Gonna Get Better - Another cute, nice song 10l Scared of Happy - Really builds, perfect 10l Not That Kinda Girl - I think this will become my favourite. So fierce. Another potench single 09l Dope - Pretty f***ing dope 09l No Way - I loved the light and shade of this one 04l Worth It (no rap) - Pointless, and a clunky end to the album album a solid 9 out of 10 for me, and i'm so here for the swearing in Not That Kinda Girl and Dope :heart: :cheer:
May 27, 20169 yr Very good album. Although, I don't "love" it yet. A lot of the production is really clunky and a bit messy, but I'm sure I'll be able to look past that with more listens. But at least they've guven us 'Work From Home' and 'Flex'. I also think (as a fan of ballads) they need to work a bit more on their ballads, but ehhh, that'll come with time I guess. But yeah a good effort.
May 27, 20169 yr Hooks galore, it's all so catchy. My standouts on first listen were The Life and Squeeze. Didn't dislike anything but I think I'm going to care for Write On Me less than some of the others and I was initially unsure on Scared Of Happy. Fetty is really off putting at the start of Flex, wouldn't be my choice of single tbh.

May 27, 20169 yr Had That's My Girl on repeat all day, can't wait to see what the video looks like once they release it :wub:
May 27, 20169 yr 'That's My Girl' is good but it is just too much of a re-hash of 'Worth It' to be released just yet. 'All In My Head (Flex)' is the perfect second single choice, it is something fun, summery and that sound is so in right now. The singles should defo go like this: Work From Home All In My Head (Flex) That's My Girl The Life Squeeze (if The Life does well and there is still some life in the era)
May 27, 20169 yr Listening through this now and it's perfect so far, exactly the sound I wanted from them. I'm up to 'Squeeze' and wow I think that could be challenging That's My Girl as my favourite! It's so subtle, but it is absolutely beautiful and you can tell Kygo has had input into it. I'd love to see Kygo producing more pop tracks as Write On Me and Squeeze are both so gorgeous!
May 27, 20169 yr The Japanese Deluxe tracks are now out. 'Big Bad Wolf' is a f***ing tune. Would have loved to see it on the standard, can see it becoming one of my favourites of all.
May 27, 20169 yr Love this album! The only dud for me is 'Squeeze' so I'm surprised to see it as the favourite here, I think 'Write On Me' does the Kygo sound so much better. Not that I'd want them to go in that direction either. Listening to the album has really made 'The Life' hit me aswell, that needs to be a single along with That's My Girl for sure.
May 27, 20169 yr I think the fact Squeeze is less obvious with the tropical house Kygo sound than Write On Me but still contains the little quirks that makes a Kygo song a Kygo song makes it slightly better or at least more out-standing of the two. But Write On Me would be in my top 5 on the album too, I just love that sound!
May 27, 20169 yr Squeeze is a massive highlight for me. :wub: All In My Head (Flex) & That's My Girl are both amazing too. I really like The Life as well (but I'm not going back to it too much at the moment, due to overplaying it as an instant grat.)
May 27, 20169 yr 1000 Hands, and Big Bad Wolf are amazing, really wish they were on every album! 1000 Hands is a really nice end to the album, and Big Bad Wolf is an utter jam
May 28, 20169 yr The Life & That's My Girl are 11/10 moments of music but the rest isn't really hitting me :( I'll give it another chance though!
May 31, 20169 yr This album's a lot better than I initially thought. Some of the softer moments are really special, like the lyrics for 'No Way' for example! 'Squeeze' and 'Scared of Lonely' are nice too <3 solid album (which I didn't expect in all honesty)!
May 31, 20169 yr Author I can't believe Lauren hyped up the Max Martin involvement though for nothing!
May 31, 20169 yr This album really is a huge step forward from Reflection! Whilst I liked that, this is a much more confident album, they've clearly found their sound and it's just great from start to finish. 10.0 That's My Girl 11.0 Work from Home (feat. Ty Dolla $ign) 09.0 The Life 08.0 Write On Me 08.0 I Lied 10.0 All In My Head (Flex) [feat. Fetty Wap] 08.5 Squeeze 09.5 Gonna Get Better 09.0 Scared of Happy 09.0 Not That Kinda Girl (feat. Missy Elliott) 08.0 Dope 09.0 No Way Superb :wub: :wub:
