This is going to be his best album so far based on the pre-release singles. I’m gonna give it a listen today.
However, I’m pissed at the fact that they have “Youth” as “Youth feat. Khalid” on the Spotify version of the album when it was “Youth (feat. Khalid)” when it was released. I hate when they do that, it’s gonna scrobble as two different tracks (unless I create a playlist with the original title instead of the new one).

I’m wildly into this album. He’s got a killer voice, and the feel for much of this record is pretty sexy and swanky. Lots of huge radio hit potential. As if he wasn’t huge already, I think this album is going to launch him into megastardom. *plays “Where Were You in the Morning?” again for the 500th time in a row*

I'm beyond amazed. Shawn has never gotten me to like EVERY song off one of his albums, but I'm BEYOND impressed by this. Favorites are definitely Mutual, Nervous, Like to Be You, Particular Taste, Queen, and Perfectly Wrong to name a few...
Because I Had You VERY much feels like a filler track though, and even then I don't hate it.
And I think When You're Ready is a perfect way to end the album.
Anyway, BEYOND impressed. Been listening all day.

This album is fucking incredible! The funk in "Queen" and "Particular Taste" is so cool! I never expected that from Shawn! The lyrics on these songs are pure poetic. Massively impressed!

I didn't like his first 2 albums at all but I quite enjoyed this one. Understandable though since he's legal now and he's probably allowed to be a little bit ''edgier'' than before.

In My Blood Nervous Lost in Japan Where Were You in the Morning? Particular Taste Why Queen Youth Mutual
Definitely only cared for a few of his singles in the past but I’m loving this album overall. I think he definitely found his sweet spot with the material that’s catchy without being too trendy or trying too hard to sound “evolved”. I’m officially a fan!

Really curious as to who "Queen" is about. Also, "Particular Taste" sounds wildly similar to Selena Gomez's "Hands to Myself."

Very solid album, although I kind of wish they would have saved Lost in Japan for a potential second radio single.

Acoustic versions of In My Blood and Youth are the bonus tracks. Not quite. Live Session of In My Blood and Acoustic version of Where Were You. Picked this up today after listening to clips. Other than Youth, really digging what I have heard.

I just heard his song "Nervous" on a Spotify playlist and all I could think was "Holy-Bad Liar-ripoff"

I am listening for the third time since it has come out.No doubt this is album is the most mature he has done it.I like "Illuminate" more but I think this one will grow on me so that I can pick up my favorites but I know already one that I disliked was "Like to Be You".

During my first few listens I liked "Mutual" the most but now I gotta say that "Nervous", "Where Were You In The Morning?" and "Youth" are my faves on the album.

Other than a few of Shawn’s singles, I’ve never really been into his music but I took a listen to this album and wow it’s exceeded my expectations. Shawn made a really solid pop album.
Particular Taste, Queen, and Nervous were album standouts for me. That being said, I can easily see them getting at least 3 more singles out of this album.

"Nervous" is the second single off the album. The track was sent to UK radio early this month and has been playlisted by Capital FM so far, so I assume this will be the next US single because I doubt Island will make a split release, but... who knows at this point? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
