REVIEWS

HEARTTHROB releases his fifth studio album, , five years after his last album, and a lot has influenced him during the hiatus, resulting in a, well, of direction. Essentially this sounds better than ever; his smooth delivery draws a listener in quickly and the personal lyrical content is moving. Despite this, it’s a little boring, predictable and lacks focus. Each song uses the same template and ultimately the whole thing becomes monotonous. While it’s great to have back making music, we wish he pushed himself creatively a little bit more to complement the loved up theme that runs through the record.
