Across eight tracks, including singles “Stay, Stay, Stay!” and “Darkness,” Roberts departs from pop-punk vocals with soulful sonics and R&B beats. In fact, the artist notes he was inspired by the likes of Labrinth, Jason Derulo, and The Weeknd. “It was a different process because I had to be more of a nuisance with my voice because of the style prerequisites,” he says. “I believe that it definitely shows the distinction of what I do with the band versus… Read more »
