Troye doing the Kygo thing on "Lost Boy" but it's sooo good!
It's a solid album. I was more impressed with his EP on first listen though ("Ease" is still my favorite here; missing "DKLA"). That aside, my favorite of the new songs are "Cool" and the aforementioned "Lost Boy."

The album is amazing!!! Heaven, Lost Boy and Blue are my favourites right now from the new songs but seriously all his songs are around 9 or 10 for me.. Perfection

Just listened to a bit of this, but probably won't deep dive into it until January.
Heaven is exceptional.

His voice doesn't have a giant range but it's so smooth and relaxing to listen to. I think this is my biggest issue with him. I think his musicality is very much on point but I feel like his voice takes away from the material. I think Happy Little Pill is still a very solid song but from what I heard from his Wild EP, the songs would sound better by a stronger more dynamic vocalist. Maybe my opinion will change when I check out his album.

Loved the entire Wild EP and "Youth," and I was very excited for this album, but I'm disappointed by the rest of the album. It doesn't really feel like a full LP was justified for this era; the best tracks were all released well before the actual album. "Cool" is essentially a rehash of "Fools," and then tracks 11-15 have such similar moods and tones that they're indistinct from one another. Also do not get the love for "Heaven"; Betty Who's vocals may as well have been Troye's.
That said, "Youth" is excellent, and I hope it's a radio hit for him.

I've grown used to it, it's kinda nice and he really sounds like Michael Bublé at times (it's kinda weird).

What an amazing album. For me it's like a "Pure Heroine" meets "Beauty Behind The Madness" meets "Queen Of The Clouds" album.

Just purchased after reading all of the hype. I've never heard a song of his before except for snippets on Songpop under "PBR&B" (UGH!!) but I started laughing during Wild when I thought he said "I cum in your hands." But...what a GREAT song. I reminds me why I love music. I'm listening to Bite now but can't wait to get through the whole album.

His shows in Boston, NY, and Philly are all sold out. Damn. Of course now that he is on my radar, I can't see him live.

Troye is great on stage and he has such a positive energy about him. He's a great role model to those finding his music.

Wait, I'm confused! Are people into Troye's looks or just his music? Because his music is great but I don't understand the fawning over his aesthetic on Gay Twitter.

Yeah, the album continues to grow on me and I already really liked it to begin with. Heaven is really a remarkable song.
