[4Roses]

It’s a faceless bop, bring back the straights.

 

[Grins]

Maybe it was because I went on it expecting absolutely nothing after reading the reactions but I kinda liked it. The production is interesting and could go harder.

 

[Vasilios]

Yeah this is great! Bin Dizzy though.

 

[verth]

Not when Dizzy is the only song with a decent chorus on the album now dddd this new single feels unfinished

 

[bestinase]

 

[Suburbia]

Some of those tour venues are ambitious.

Ballrooms and town halls?

Maybe this was sarcasm/shade I'm not sure

 

[UltimatColossus]

I like the album cover

 

[qdes]

I'll check it out.

Screaming a bit at the price difference between venues. Charging £50-60 in Bristol but only £35 in Glasgow.

His team really saw that he struggled to sell 200 tickets for a 25,000 capacity outdoor gig last time in Glasgow and priced accordingly.

Both my Brussels and Dublin tickets were €35.00. There was a big price jump to €150 for the soundcheck package.

I am years past expecting something like King or Shine or Palo Santo and maybe the name change also helps to set expectations so I also quite like the new song. At least the production is really good this time and not so beige. Let‘s be honest though this is not lead single material and it won‘t sell the album to anyone beyond the few people who are still slightly invested.

So this is technically his debut album, right? Selena Gomez teas.

And yet it's still tagged as (Years and Years) on Spotify. And Nightcall had no input from the straights at all so ... It's really just in name only no ?

 

[GimmeWork]

Oh this slaps! Much better than Dizzy imo.

 

[BloodShyBait]

Tickets are online in Germany.
Can anyone recommand or is it not worthy to see him live?

 

[GodsAndMonsters]

When I saw the outfit in the preview I was expecting a more fantasy based video rather than ... whatever this is. But that said the more I've listened to the song the more it's grown on me.

 

[SockMonkey]

Really like the song but it’s possibly one of the worst music videos of the year.

The tickets are reasonably priced, so worth going to see him live. He's hit and miss, but just go and see for yourself.

 

[inevitable]

As mentioned the video is just lame, I was expecting so much more. I like the song though.
