he's got a great voice and Mystical Magical is a pretty good pop song, but I agree with the comment above this feels very manufactured. He just needs better music honestly 

My biggest gripe is that the choruses are generally kinda catchy, but the verses are the blandest Jonas Brothers/OneRepublic/Charlie Puth type bullshit you’ve heard in your life

I kinda agree. There’s no bad song per se in the album, but his debut has much more interesting melodies and performances. This attempt is just same old same old. Every song sounds like each other. It’s optimized for tik tok so it’s too short. And in general there’s nothing groundbreaking about it. The American Aesthetic confused me cause it has nothing to do with the music. I gave it like a 6.5/7 out of 10 and don’t see it rising more than that. There’s also no hit potentials. Its a shame cause he is very talented but I think he needs to tapo more into the style of his debut and mix it with something new rather than these co-worker vibe music

I'm sensing a lot of the hate comes from attitudes about white men.  Which is for the most part, fair enough.

I set this to a part of the video I think most people would like.  It's a great vocal and solid track.  Maybe safe, but when did safe become a bad thing?  It's fun.
 

 

This song sounds like an 80s song that would play over the final scene of a teen comedy where everyone is having fun on the beach and it cuts to each cast member laughing before cutting to a freeze frame of them running and jumping before fading the credits.

I like some of his songs and I’m glad he’s at least putting in some effort unlike 90% of male singers, plus he’s actually talented. But this whole era seems weird to me, don’t like the American aesthetic, it’s giving “I’m secretly MAGA but I can’t openly admit that cause my sales/streams will tank” lol 

Thank you! Like, why tf would you go with that album title and artwork in 2025? At best it’s incredibly tone deaf and at worst it’s a MAGA dog whistle.
