American Teen

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during his senior year of high school, the debut studio album from the El Paso vocalist perfectly captured the zeitgeist of modern teenage suburban life. The production relies heavily on spacious, synthesized 1980s pop textures and muted trap drum programming, allowing his rich, emotive baritone to remain the focal point. Buoyed by the massive success of the single 'Location', the record propelled him instantly to global pop stardom.
