Thoughts

I missed this one from last year, and with a slow start to 2025, it seemed like a great time to dip back six months or so. I really loved James Bay’s debut album, although the second wasn’t quite as good for me. This one was a return to form, the opening track really felt reminiscent of those first absolute tunes. Potentially, it drifted a little bit and probably doesn’t sustain the 5/5 score all the way through, but it’s a really good listen, and a great start to the year.

Rating: 4 / 5
