Wanted Man. That is all what an absolute BANGER

Not a single skip to be found here. He's done it again Young American Heart's an amazing closer too in much the same way as What Do You Want.

Video for Mr Electric Blue laughing at the haters. Awesome

This is a massive slump in quality and quanity from the first. Only 30 minutes which I know is more the norm now but the album is preety much nothing? Apart from sorry im here, magical, Mr electric and wanted man, this should have been a cute EP. Sounds like a rushed project with no vision

Love the album on first play! Been hyped for Mr Electric Blue since he played a clip of it at the concert I went to last November and it hasn't disappointed. Wanted Man is amazing as well!

I also think the vision is clear, and his sound has developed a lot since album 1, only the ballads would have worked on Fireworks & Rollerblades.

See i think he hasn't developed at all since the 1st album and this album lacks any personality! Maybe it will grow but I just dont see it up to the highs as his debut

We'll have to agree to disagree but I don't think you'd get Mystical Magical, Wanted Man, Mr Electric Blue, etc on the first album, or his earlier EPs! He's committed to the 80s vibe on this album, and he's definitely leaned into the Freddie Mercury inspirations in his aesthetic and performances.

I'm actually really coming around to him and liking this new stuff, I wasn't at all fussed before!

I think he's carving out a distinct style and image for himself too (even if it is all a bit Freddie Mercury but that's no bad thing)

Really love this album. So much better than f and r. Wanted man is SO GOOD

I need to give the album a listen but I really don’t get the hate for him online. There are so many dull, nondescript male artists out there and he’s the only guy rivalling the pop girls with visuals, aesthetics and charisma. The MEB music video is fantastic!

Im doing a quick 360 on my morning thoughts, will end up loving this just like the 1st album

I'm liking this album I'm too busy hammering Jade today to really get into it but I think I actually prefer this album to his first.

Just watched the video to Mr Electric Blue and it's so much fun! Pokes fun at himself and, most notably, the obnoxiously loud keyboard warriors.

I think I might be a little bit in love with him?

Think the entire album is fantastic, I do agree it’s a little short, wouldn’t be surprised if some bonus tracks get tacked on at some point though.

So many bangers !

This is such an underperformance... less than half his previous one did.

Let's be fair though.

This album has two established hits, Fireworks & Rollerblades had four by the time it was released. One of those was Beautiful Things, which obviously inflates the figure further (it did 9m globally on its own on the day the album came out). It also has five extra songs on its tracklist than American Heart has.

I hope the album can make number 1 this week.

Unlikely! #4 in the midweeks.

As if his album is only number 4 in the midweeks when he’s the only one of the contenders getting hits from their albums
