Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the massive success of his debut, the Lebanese-British singer's sophomore effort leans heavily into theatrical, flamboyant pop-rock arrangements. Produced largely by Greg Wells, the tracks utilize exuberant piano melodies, orchestral flourishes, and a signature, soaring falsetto to explore autobiographical themes of adolescence and youthful rebellion. It serves as a colorful, emotionally varied exploration of modern power pop.
