Apologies if there is already a thread for this, I couldn't see one.

Does anyone have his album, if so, what do you think of it?

I've heard Versace on the Floor and Chunky, both great songs.

It's ok, not amazing. I don't see myself listening to it for too long tbh.

It's getting average critic reviews, with most agreeing that while the production is first class and true to the 80s/90s R&B sound, the songs lack the hooks we've become so accustomed to with his work.

I guess that's the danger with a focused concept album rather than just a collection of great songs.

i thought it was pretty good. the production quality made me think of thriller a few times. obviously they've went out of their way to put together a throwback sounding album, but i think they did well

Listened to it today, it didnt blow me away like i thought it would. Did like the throwback feel to it though, he does seem to do that well, as well as giving off Michael Jackson vibes. Versace on the floor is probably my fave

24K Magic didn't grab me at all at first but I'm slowly warming to the song.

However, I will be gobsmacked if Versace On The Floor isn't released as a single. Sadly, from the iTunes previews Too Good To Say Goodbye was the only other song that grabbed my attention.

For an album of just 9 songs, it's quite an underwhelming album based on the previews. It sounds like he's trying to recreate Bobby Brown circa 1989 and R Kelly circa 1994. He should've gone for the Bruno Mars circa 2016 approach.

I like the whole 80's and 90's production with this album but feel there is no standout tracks as such.

Chunky is prob the best and that song is just ok. I absolutely love the start of the song though . Real 80's vibes.

24k Magic is no Thriller (in terms of quality songs) and Bruno Mars - a good pop singer - is no Michael Jackson imho.

I'm loving this album, although there are only 9 songs on it, what the hell!

Considering his last two albums both had 10 songs, having 9 this time isn't that much of a shock.
