He's doing a country album folks. First single out on Friday.

Well MEH to a country album but it has reminded me to give The Desired Effect another spin so to that

 

[straightorbroken]

It's a great title. And then I read the first sentence of the thread. Well, you never know, there may be a few keepers.

 

[GNL]

We'll always have Lonely Town.

 

[FannyFaudrey]

This did nothing for me on first listen, but perhaps it’s a GROWER.

 

[straightorbroken]

Creatively I'm seeing this as a colonic and I'm glad he's getting it out the way and out his system.

It's a shrinker.

 

[jivafox]

This is almost homophobic

 

[FetchFugly]

What is he banging on about?



I'd sort of come round to Plans but then I played the GOOD STUFF from The Desired Effect and that put it in perspective.

 

[funky]

What on earth is that post about

 

[GNL]

Phil Collins in tax exile:

[GNL]

Why is he doing this to me?

 

[Shoat]

Oh Brandon not the TWEE COUNTRY bandwagon

 

[Tisch]

I'm a bit of a sucker for proper yeehaw country sometimes, so I think that sounds quite great, and really suits his voice. bit concerned this is all a soft coming out for Trump, but I'll try to at least enjoy the music.

 

[Suedehead]

What is this shite

 

[Suedehead]

Also move this thread to the Toilet pls *FLUSH*

 

[Pipo]

What is this shite

His Joanne/Golden is coming

 

[Pipo]

everything's been awful so far

he should be doing what Harry Styles is doing but with more oomph and panache, NOT THIS!

 

[FetchFugly]

This is actually very lovely and sweet:

 

[FannyFaudrey]

I'm very much into this album. It's the kind of country I can get on board with and it's so well written. The second half is a little slower and more of a drag, but overall it's strong stuff!

 

[jivafox]

I've only heard the first half (twice!) but I enjoyed what I heard. I'll give the full thing a listen soon.

 

[FetchFugly]

Plans has grown on me quite a bit and the very Springsteen Tiger's Blood works for me too. The Red Ground is, on early listening, by far the standout from the second half. Mariachi high drama.

And it sounds like has stuck with country(ish) for his next, already recorded, album:
