Posted November 8, 2024Nov 8 The Vamps frontman Bradley Simpson is releasing his debut solo album in February. Tracklist: 1 Cry at the Moon2 Picasso3 Carpet Burn4 Daisies5 Holy Grail6 Getting Clear7 Not Us Anymore8 Almost9 Favourite Band10 Always Like This11 The Band's Not Breaking Up12 The Panic Years Hyped for this, I've enjoyed the singles so far, particularly Picasso! New single Holy Grail is out today and it's lovely :heart:
November 8, 2024Nov 8 An EP's out today containing all 5 of the songs he's released so far (all of which are on the album tracklist). Does that mean the album is still coming?
November 8, 2024Nov 8 An EP's out today containing all 5 of the songs he's released so far (all of which are on the album tracklist). Does that mean the album is still coming? Will just be to get streams from the other songs by attaching them to Holy Grail just released. I’m ngl it annoys me when artists drop the majority of the album prior to its release. I can’t imagine Holy Grail will be the last before February, leaving either half or less to hear for the first time when it lands. Will look forward to this regardless, but he’s been a bit hit and miss so far.

The album only went up for pre-order today so yes...! As Calum said, they've just attached the previous singles to the Holy Grail single, it's common practice!
February 27Feb 27 Looking forward to this album tomorrow - a number of the singles have been really good!
February 27Feb 27 Author I'm very excited for it! Latest single Carpet Burn is one of my favourites so far.
March 4Mar 4 At 6 in the first set of Mids. Hopefully it can keep a top 10 place and its a decent album - although I'm guessing will be a top 20 debut
March 4Mar 4 Author I really like the album! Going to have to look into tour tickets for sure. Going to his signing on Thursday, hopefully it can hold a top 20 place.
March 5Mar 5 Gave this a curiosity listen. 'Almost' is a pretty good song but other than I only really liked the singles. 'Picasso' remains my favourite of his solo work.I'm guessing this is just a quick solo break and his next release will be back with The Vamps? Edited March 5Mar 5 by Mangø

March 5Mar 5 I don't know, my guess is the Vamps are on a rest; Tris has just got married and a baby on the way.Wouldn't surprise me if the 10 Years of the Vamps thing will put a pin in things for a few years.
March 5Mar 5 Author Their last studio album was 2020 (and a Christmas song in 2022), James and Brad have released solo music and Connor's led a side project too, but they've toured as a group since then, with a 10 year celebration tour for Meet the Vamps last year. I think they'll always remain as a group and release solo projects in between tours, and hopefully some new music in the future too.
April 11Apr 11 Author Favourite Band is the next single, with a new mix featuring Nieve Ella out 25th April!Definitely the right choice, hope the new version sounds good.
April 17Apr 17 Signed vinyls and CDs available again on his store. Relatively cheap price for the vinyl too, think I'll grab that.Not too excited by the Nieve Ella feature but Favourite Band is a great song.
April 19Apr 19 I wouldn't have picked Favourite Band as a single, but I'm still curious to hear how it'll sound as a duet. Roll on Friday!
April 26Apr 26 Author Favourite Band was my immediate favourite of the songs I didn't know on the album, and I'm glad it's getting a moment as a single, definitely the right choice for me. That said, I don't think Nieve really adds anything to the song, so I'll probably be sticking mostly to the album version.
April 26Apr 26 Yeah I have to agree! Nieve doesn't add anything to this for me and has likely just been tacked on this because of the circles she's in at the moment a great song but one that definitely didn't need a feature.
