Second song "Happy to be Sad" out now, from the album Reverie coming out 8/13. Really lovely melodies and a cool saxophone outro.

A really promising pop sound from a queer artist. He's got pipes for days too

I enjoyed a couple of songs from his first album, nice tone and great vocals.

Imagine was written by Ben Platt, Michael Pollack, Jon Bellion, Alexander "Eskeerdo" Izquierdo, Stefan Johnson and The Monsters & Strangerz.
Produced by Jon Bellion and The Monsters & The Strangerz.
Mixed by Manny Marroquin.

I didn't know the song and I liked it.

Is he going full pop? Or more ballads and stuff? What do you guys think?

Seems like a mix of full pop with melancholy vibe. Julia Michaels vibe is similar to that and she was brought on as a co-writer on a few tracks. Plus you got Alex Hope, German and Ian Kirkpatrick who make pretty modern pop sounding music.

Hands down one of the best pop releases this year.
