I like Redlight, its a bit weird and trippy sounding, reminds me of Fred Again..

Sting of all people being a collaborator was raising an eyebrow for me but I should have figured it would just be a sample of 'Roxanne' - it's another good song from them anyway, I'm not finding myself getting quite as obsessed with their post-comeback material as I was with their original run of singles but they've still been pretty consistently quality imo (apart from 'Lifetime' although that was still ok).

Since Kanye pulled out of Coachella, SHM have now been bumped up to headliner alongside The Weeknd!

 

(They were originally billed as “special guests”)

There's no indication of a delay for the album, they've still been teasing the date as April 15th as recently as last weekend.
That's correct. It's strange there's not a pre-add/pre-save/pre-order link for the album yet, but it's still slated to be out next week.
It seems crazy to me that this is their debut album and they didn't actually release (a proper) one a decade ago when they were actually at their best and relevant.

So tomorrow we finally get an actual full bodied album from them after all this time. Please don't be a dud.

 

They've also got the Hottest Record slot on Radio 1 tomorrow so I'd imagine that'll be the follow up single.

Ok

Heaven Takes You Home with Connie Constance is epic.

 

Highlights from my first listen:

 

Time - a decent opener

Heaven Takes You Home - why wasn't this a single??

The little piano intro for Moth To A Flame

Mafia - pretty cool instrumental

The final couple of minutes in Don't Go Mad from the build up

It Gets Better - don't know why everyone hates it here, it slaps

Redlight - the more I listen to it the more I enjoy it

Can U Feel It - great beats

For You - lovely chilled closer, stunning vocals and production

 

Despite the lack of pre-orders, it has gone Top 10 (just) on iTunes!

alongside Heaven, Moth and Redlight the other highlights for me were Time, Calling On, Don’t Go Mad and For You.

 

but at least half of it I don’t really fancy going back to which is a bit of a shame but to be expected given some of the single releases. particularly don’t think the trap/downtempo tracks suit them but at least there’s a fair share of actual house tracks I guess.

Heaven Takes You Home just confirmed as the next single on Radio 1

 

Album up to #3 on iTunes!
