Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the massive global pop success of his sophomore album, the British singer-songwriter delivered a notably darker, more challenging third effort. Heavily influenced by his recent divorce and the aesthetics of late-90s trip-hop, 'Human Being' envelops his soaring vocal melodies in dense, somber, and deeply atmospheric electronic programming.
