Look Up at the Stars

These spoken word moments. I'm here Shawn x

Now for the song that has become my favourite :wub:

Look Up at the Stars has become a major favourite over the week too :wub: The lyrics, what it means to Shawn (about us fans :cry:), just everything, ugh. SO GOOD :cheeseblock:

 

also lyrical king going from

 

'you'll never be alone'

 

to

 

'i'll never be alone'

 

:wub:

Look Up at the Stars... a dreamy sounding opening verse - his vocals always sounds very at home with this vibe. The chorus taking things up a notch is an unexpected but appreciated shift!

Oh this one is beautiful! :heart:

Can't Imagine

This will be such an epic moment when a tour finally gets to happen :cheeseblock: (@ Stars x)

Mentioning Wonderland too like in the intro :o I feel like this should've closed the album :thinking: (@ Stars x)

It will be the biggest crime if he doesn't get to perform this album live (with an actual crowd, etc) :cry:

 

 

Can’t Imagine is a nice little outro, somehow it doesn’t feel like a fully formed song to me. It’s lovely though.

Can't Imagine is a cute way to close the album too, and I adore the very end with the spoken words, but otherwise it's not really any more than that sadly oops

 

Cool, that's good for now.

Can't Imagine is a cute little song to close the album, though not a major essential for me.

Thanks very much for joining, everybody :wub:

 

And Bal, I hope you enjoyed the album on first listen :cool:

Overall... I’m really loving ‘Wonder’! It’s a varied yet cohesive album. The somewhat mixed reception to it & particularly how it’s performing in the UK chart is a shame. :( Honestly I think Monster set the wrong tone to launch the album with, at least for this market.

Yeah I think having Monster launch the album was a major oops - it should have been one of Higher, Teach Me How to Love or Piece of You, and I think the support may have been behind him a bit more. They clearly wanted to push Teach Me How to Love to some extent anyway with it being chosen for NMF etc, or is that Spotify that decides that?

I really enjoyed that (especially reading your guys' comments alongside my first impressions). The album is definitely not what I expected - there are great moments of production throughout and he has experimented with different vibes. I'm a fan (and it'll probably grow once I can properly take more note of the lyrics which is hard on first listen). Another listen party in the future please x

Glad you enjoyed Bal! :heart: We can definitely arrange another listening party for some point once we've all digested the album for some time *.*
