Review

Alright, so Vance Joy drops his second studio album, “Nation of Two,” back in 2018, and it's kind of like diving into a diary that sways between poetic highs and melancholic lows. Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's words in "Mother Night," the album's title speaks volumes about the intimate universe lovers create. Joy packs 13 introspective tracks that dance around the messy, beautiful complexity of relationships and love.

On the musical side, expect that classic Vance Joy storytelling, carried on the wings of catchy melodies and polished production. It's got a vibe that's both youthful and wise—like finding a handwritten love letter in a thrift store book. Singles like "Lay It on Me," "Like Gold," and "We're Going Home" are definite standouts, pulling you in with their infectious hooks. Even if some critics grumble about it being a little too sentimental, you've got to admit: the guy knows how to connect. The album hit number one on the ARIA Albums Chart and snagged Best Adult Contemporary Album at the ARIA Music Awards, so clearly, it's doing something right. - Bo
