Jake Shears - Last Man Dancing

[Hotel_paper]

Voices with Kylie...whew!

This is a great album that, despite heavy radio play for the singles on Radio 2, feels like it's going to be overlooked?

Diving in now since my vinyl hasn’t arrived! Did anyone have Do The Television as part of the album up until release date on Apple Music?

 

[K94]

Anyone got an idea of settimes for his London gig tonight?

 

[VeryPSB]

The album is a fun ride. Voices and Radio Eyes are the standouts for me, but it’s a solid album throughout.
A sequel to Night Work it is not though - that album is truly next level.

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

This is really, really good. Maybe not a Night Work sequel, but at least on Magic Hour level — an album I really like and find underrated as hell.

 

[SlowBurn]

I actually think this is a bit of an instant classic. Every single track hits the spot for me. I really hope it does well for him.

 

[Celestial Mosaic]

Okay but WHY is my iTunes categorizing this album as "Indie Rock"?!

 

[mikee689]

Radio Eyes is THE ONE!!!!!

 

[SlowBurn]

I’m obsessed with 8 Ball. What a jam!

 

[Celestial Mosaic]

Whew Jake really said "We are going to DANCE" with this album. Father delivered.
One of the best things is that he delivered a 13 track album where 8 of the tracks are 4+ minutes. Voices is such an amazing track, Kylie sounds lush on it. Title track is giving my major ABBA vibes. Nothing on here feels like less than an 8 for me, except maybe 8 Ball and that's only because mainly instrumental tracks do nothing for me.

This is such a step up from his debut which I struggled to get through. I hope it does well for him.

I grew to really enjoy his debut, but this is the kind of music I want form him and the music he excels at.

 

[Robbo]

The ‘Uh ha’ from Abba and the bassline from Jump by Madonna makes voices such an earworm ive been hammering it hard!

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

This is amazing! The Night Work connection is clear and much appreciated. He sounds so good but even better he sounds like he’s having a great time. There’s something special about a record like this coming from an artist like Jake during Pride, my baby gay self grew up idolizing him

 

[Pink Frost]

I adore the album, but can't find the credits?

Did Boys Noize produce the second half, it sounds like them.

My thought exactly. Brilliant album! I couldn't really get into his debut.

 

[Celestial Mosaic]

Currently obsessed with Jane Fonda’s parts on Radio Eyes.

3 days in & this has smashed its way into being my album of the year so far. it’s an absolute majestic ride that just doesn’t let up for a single moment which is something I’ve been looking for in a good album for a long time, I hear so many Scissor Sisters moments scattered throughout the record, which totally makes sense and very welcome. He should be so proud of this album, it feels like a future classic.

 

[SlowBurn]

I adore the album, but can't find the credits?

Did Boys Noize produce the second half, it sounds like them.

Here they are…

 

[LPMA]

Whew this album is a triumph. I'm especially into the maximalist production throughout; everything is just so intricate yet it never feels like it's going in a 'kitchen sink' direction.
