Years & Years - "Starstruck" + 3rd Album

Listening on the radio (how old school) - this is a proper bop.

 

On first listen, this is giving me strong Alphabeat vibes. Which is no bad thing of course!

 

I’m 100% on board with this. A bop!

 

It's OK, but think it will grow on me with a few listens.

 

It's pop, I enjoy.

Meh

 

This is...a song that exists. It’s ok but it’s very much an album track, not a first single.

 

It's a bop but I'm not sold on this yet. There's little to grab on and I don't feel like it's a big lead single to his first solo album?

 

The production is very Justice so bops automatically but the melodies aren’t really sticking yet. Let me replay.

 

It’s hit #1 on iTunes already which I know doesn’t mean much these days but it seem like there’s still a lot of interest.

 

I think it's a grower. On first listen it sounds very Capital FM-ready but there's actually a decent little bop under there. I like the Future Nostalgia undertones.

 

It wants to Don't Start Now but not sure it achieves.

 

I knew it sounded familiar, it sounds like it's Justin Timberlake's - Can't Stop the Feeling...

 

It sounds more like Olly Murs than Olly Alexander.

 

Oh I love this. The ‘not giving you up’ post-chorus really elevates it for me—the whole thing glides along until then and really takes off for the second half of the track after it. What a spring/summer bop!

 

Solid effort, I love this.

 

Perfectly pleasant. King it ain't.

 

I’ll be shocked if this isn’t a hit. It’s got Capital / Radio One playlist support written all of it
