May 23, 20187 yr I love how all the single artworks have different flowers in the corner with quiet coloured backgrounds. None of them are too fancy but it's a nice look he's got going on with them. Nervous & Lost In Japan are my favs with the green & pink
May 23, 20187 yr Author "Nervous" and "Fallin All in You" are both great! The former in particular is such a bop! :music: Bring on Friday as this album is shaping up to be excellent!
May 23, 20187 yr Which one's the coming out track? I'd imagine "Fallin' All In You" given the line about falling for men, but maybe that's more of a subtle hint and he's gonna throw it all out on "Queen" :lol:

May 23, 20187 yr :kink: Hahaha it sounds ominous if you interpret it in a certain way :rofl: If Shawn is giving us the musical album form of "Love, Simon" then that is massive; he will always be a huge part of LGBT history/culture if that's the case.
May 23, 20187 yr FerevNUe65A It’s essentially the male version of “Bad Liar” + “Come Get It Bae” but I don’t care it’s so good
May 24, 20187 yr I love this album. I use that word a lot here but this is genuinely a really great album. It's very personal and way more engaging than his last album ever was. I'm also 99.9999% he isn't "coming out" on this album. He mentions girls constantly and I'm fairly sure "You fell for men who weren't how they appear" is Shawn talking to a girl rather than him talking to himself. Ed Sheeran & Johnny McDaid (Snow Patrol) are obviously involved in Fallin' All in You, Ed especially. Ryan Tedder has some backing vocals on Particular Taste too. Khalid & Julia Michaels are perfect collabs too, Julia's voice works so well with his
May 24, 20187 yr Nervous is SUCH a bop, definitely gonna do the rare thing of listening to this album at midnight as soon as it's out :o

I feel a bit bad for him as there seems to be a lot of pressure on him following that blind which didn’t interpret a lyric correctly. I fell for it so I can’t talk tbh :’) Excited to listen tonight, all five songs are incredible :wub: ‘Where Were You In The Morning?’ is actually my favourite, SO chilled out and catchy *.* Edited May 24, 20187 yr by Andrew.
May 24, 20187 yr Like To Be You is EVERYTHING oh my god, this is gonna challenge IMB as the best of this era although I have most of the album to go :lol:
May 24, 20187 yr VERY good album, really love it as a whole :wub: It's all very cohesive but there's enough variation so that the songs stand out. In My Blood and Like To Be You are definitely the highlights but Particular Taste, Nervous and Where Were You In The Morning are amaze too. I agree it feels more personal too, he had great songs I enjoyed before but there feels like there's more of a connection and an identity on this. I'd maybe shave the last two songs off but on the whole FAB <3
May 24, 20187 yr OMG HE HAS COMPLETELY STOLEN AND REPURPOSED BAD LIAR BY SELENA GOMEZ AND NAMED IT NERVOUS! WTFFFFFF? FerevNUe65A
May 24, 20187 yr I'm up to 'Youth' and this is a much stronger album than 'Illuminate' (which wasn't bad, just didn't really have much going for it beyond the singles)! 'In My Blood' is the best ofc, but tbh there's been nothing that I dislike/consider a least fave on the album so far. But this is just one listen. 'Falling All In You' is soooo good and a fave though. :wub: Slay me Mendes.
May 25, 20187 yr 'When You're Ready' has a really familiar melody! I can't pinpoint exactly what exactly! LOVE it though :wub:
May 25, 20187 yr Just listening to this now; great album and a step up from Illuminate. Also Nervous Number 1 on the NMF playlist :)
May 25, 20187 yr hope Fallin'all in you is a real collab with Ed, not another Divide leftover definetly not a coming out album, rather the opposite, a sorta let's keep pretending album
May 25, 20187 yr 'Fallin' All In You' kinda reminds me of 'I'll Be Missing You' by Puff Daddy! Not sure if anyone else hears it, but the riff is similar to me haha. Also, it sounds more like it'd belong more on 'x' than it would '÷' and that's not a bad thing :wub: My album top 5: 01. In My Blood 02. Nervous 03. Like To Be You 04. Youth 05. Fallin' All In You ('When You're Ready' > 'Particular Taste' > 'Lost In Japan' are next for me) Addicted to this album. :heart:
