'Too Much' should have been a big hit back in the day.

Here it is:

 

 

Enjoying it a lot, the frantic drums complement the vocals well, I also enjoy the lush strings near the end, and yeah I've missed that voice so much.

I still think “Blood On Me” should have been an absolutely colossal hit, was a massive multi-week personal chart number 1 for me.

The album is called 'LAHAI' and its release date has been leaked as October 20th! Another new track should be released later today as BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record

 

 

'Only' got released yesterday!!!

 

The album is really beautiful, gotta let it sit with me for a while but overall I'm very impressed.

 

“Spirit 2.0” (also his daughter's favourite track) is one of my favourite singles of the year, but I'm also really enjoying the jungle elements on “Can't Go Back”, the new single “Only”, the opener plus the wonderful “Dancing Circles” which just builds and builds. Probably gonna discover many more favourites in the coming days <3

Yeah the album is beautiful. Some tracks haven’t totally stuck with me yet but the overall vibe is one I’m really on board with. Adding this to my list of vinyl purchases that I’m supposed to be cutting down on.

 

Both this and the recent James Blake album channel similar feelings for me

I plan to check this album out soon but I just heard 'Only' on Radio 1 earlier today and it felt like quite an unexpected sound from him! (in a good way, it slaps)

 

tbf I've not listened to that much of his previous material so maybe he has had songs like that before
