American Heart (CD)

The tracklist flows perfectly from the upbeat singles to the slower, more emotional cuts. I had it on repeat during my commute and found new details in the production with each listen. Definitely one of my favorite pop albums this year.

I’ve been replaying this since it landed—the way he stretches his voice on the slower tracks is something else. The album genuinely builds on that breakout energy without feeling rushed. Solid purchase for anyone who’s followed his trajectory.

The production quality on this is insane for a debut-era release, every track feels like it was mixed to hit hard on a good system. I've had "American Heart" on repeat since it arrived, and the way it blends those big pop hooks with his raw vocal delivery is exactly what I hoped for after 2024.
