I quite enjoyed his debut album. Comparing this to that, will I like it?

It's slightly better than Handwritten but there are still duds aka Roses and Hold On.

These are among the best tracks. I think it's because they have that Handwritten sound and I adored Handwritten. This album so far, I like it but prefer the first one.

Worst tracks are Three Empty Words and Don't Be a Fool.

Roses? A dud? Really? I thought it was pretty.

Roses is one of the highlights of the album, wyd?

I agree about Hold On though

I see. I'll check it out tomorrow and might share some thoughts.

Why does Understand sound like a Legend X song

[Joyride]

Shawn said "Mercy" was supposed to be the first single off the album but they changed it to "Better" last minute.

I really like this album, but I prefer Handwritten 100%!

Sure. The album is very good. It's well produced and written. He developed his artisty so far since Handwritten. If you like contemporary pop / acoustic pop you'll enjoy it. It's worth a download, a streaming and buying a copy too

Lemme buy a vinyl, CD, iTunes copy and stream it then

I'll give it a listen tonight! I'm actually quite keen to hear it - I heard him share some anecdote in some interview the other day about a song he wrote (and recorded?) around the campfire with a bunch of other guys when they had writer's block at the studio or something, which impressed me. In a landscape dominated by a bunch of kids who I sometimes have trouble distinguishing between, he actually seems like the real deal.

Yesss. Do it

I think I know what interview you're talking about....but yeah, he handles the development of the album by himself. And helps or even writes the lyrics alone and takes part at the production too, as since he plays a lot of instruments. He's really talented for such a young age.

He writes both the lyrics AND melody He's written a few songs solo too.

I saw the same interview and it really made me curious too. So I'll give this a listen!

Slightly? No. Miles better.

I listened to Handwritten once. Never touched it til a year later.

I listen to Illuminate everyday. Pushing around 10 repeats so far since I bought it.
