Moncrieff was very excited and nervous for this album to come out but I’m sure that you will agree that he had absolutely nothing to be nervous about! This album made it to number 1 in the Irish charts within a week of its release. This album was in the works for nearly 10 years and shows him growing from his teenage years to an adult and this is his way of saying life and love is messy but maybe it’s fine!
‘Shangri-La’ is a fan fav on the album, Moncrieff describes the song as embodying the feeling of being swept away by someone who makes everything feel cinematic, even when aware of potential heartbreak. This track just makes you want to get up and dance, it’s very fitting for summer.
The album as a whole is a beautiful work of art that has had a lot of work put into it. These are lyrics that a lot of people will be able to relate to in your own life.
A direct quote that he said to his fans before this album came out: ‘Whatever you are going through, maybe just ride it out and look at it to see whatever is bothering you, and just be like, all these bad outcomes there are potentially equal amounts of good outcomes. And maybe it’s fine!’
We hope you enjoy the listen through of this album, we recommend listening on a chilled evening just you and the music and really get into the headspace and immerse yourself in the lyrics and melodies for a full emotional journey.
