Absolute banger of an album, I usually have a harsh distaste for "pop" music which is just radio music that I'm ignorant to recognise the difference in genres but Harry's House is definitely a no-skip album. It really highlights the personal connection with the artist and his music and how he uses it as a vessel to show his struggles and his head space so you really connect with him as a listerner on basically every track. The album takes you on an emotional journey with highs and lows that blend very well in the track order bringing you up for the first couple of songs then takes it low with more emotional, heart-felt lyrics that try to grip onto you and makes it relate to the listerner. A part of my respect for this album is it's use of what I call "real" instruments that seems to be lost in today's "pop" music but everytime I listern to this album I'm hearing new beats and instruments all playing a part for its overall sound and I absolutely love that, give you the ability to listern as deeply as you wish putting you in control of how you want to listern to it. Overall an amazing album and a real eye opener for me. Personal favourites are Late Night Talking, Matilda, Daydreaming and Love of My Life.
