I think that’s what he was going for. Don’t think his aim was to make a soul album. Just something fun and easy to listen to
From my perspective, I’m not talking about soul as in the genre of music, but I mean it literally, there’s no depth or feeling to it, just manufactured sounding and contrived, like “let’s make an 80s sound”, but no actual substance or feeling behind it like the real 80s songs had

It's missing soul.

Even these cheesy group from the 80s had soul in thier music with synth pop.





Between Him , Weeknd & Kid Laroi it's like everyone is doing thier best Billy Idol/A-Ha impersonation at this point.

I never said I hated it

I love the sample from Pluto's last comet.

Hurt from Mercury / nice track
Enchanted Waterfall / nick track
Pink Dolphin Sunset / nice track
& Lavender Sunshine / nice track
And the interlude is cool as well
those are my standouts ... the rest of the album is cringe as fukk.

I get what you’re saying, but that’s like saying you don’t like gunna because he’s not lyrical. That’s not the artists vision. It’s just pop shyt you would hear inside of those 80s inspired diners. Just shyt to tap your feet and sing along to, nothing else. What you’re looking for was never the intent

I don’t know what his vision is, it doesn’t matter to me as a consumer, i like music that’s inspired and has depth, to me this doesn’t, if you like it great, to each their own
