Lovejoy Portrait of a blank slate | FIRST TIME HEARING | REACTION

[@moondragon1754]

I'd definitely recommend reacting to their newest EP "Wake up & It's over" where this song first originated! Every track on there is amazing and keeps the same vibe, loved the reaction!

[@PartTimeGeek]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll pop it on the list and thank you for watching and commenting, glad you liked it.

[@tuvanielsen6908]

Btw, all the imperfections are 100% intentional. The lead singer in particular is a big fan of unpredictable music from all aspects:) I’d recommend some of the lead singer’s (Wilbur soot) older music if you want to hear his vocal range

[@PartTimeGeek]

Thank you for watching and commenting. I will search some of his stuff out. Any recommendations on where to start?

[@EVH596]

@@PartTimeGeek l’d honestly just recommend listening to each of their EP’s in order by which they were released to really see how their sound has developed! Their first was “Are You Alright?” If you want to hear more of the lead singer specifically, he has many of his own tracks. His comedy music consists of the E-Girl trilogy with “Your new Boyfriend” being the most popular. However, he has more serious music in the forms of his collection of songs titled “Your City Gave me Asthma”, which detail many of his own life experiences. “Jubilee Line” would be my most recommended from that one.

[@sesameseed3899]

@@PartTimeGeek I would also like to recommend The incel Trilogy, Which contains the songs Nice guy ballad, I am very smart ( my personal favorite), and Karen please. They are some of his older songs but they still showcase his geniuos song writing skills!

I love the intro fun fact the lead singer loves artic monkeys

[@PartTimeGeek]

I can believe that lol. So many influences in this track but still very original with the timing changes, riff changes and the 8t timing drum fills here and there. Great track. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@kristiliqua]

i love seeing new people, who have never listened to lovejoy before, start listening and reacting to lovejoy!! it's my favorite kind of reaction :D

[@Kiraj8de]

I've been listening to LoveJoy's new EP constantly since it was released. 💜It's remarkable how far they've come in such a short amount of time. I can't wait to hear how their music evolves.

[@ruffboimags]

The drummer is Mark Boardman, he is 23 years old and I think he's amazing. The sound production for this song was done by the band themselves, which is super impressive - 2 of the 6 tracks, I believe, on their most recent EP (only the 3rd they've released, they were only formed in 2021) were produced by the band themselves, and I struggle to identify which 2 because the production quality is so good on the whole thing. So proud of them, I think you'll like their stuff.

[@sirnutmeg3901]

do u know which two they are lol? bc i had no idea !!

[@ruffboimags]

@@sirnutmeg3901 I actually got it backwards - of the 6 tracks, only 2 WEREN'T produced by the band! (those two being CMWYL and Consequences). The other four, including this one, were produced by the band.

[@sirnutmeg3901]

@@ruffboimags oh cool that’s epic!!

[@Xxxxyyyyyyggggb12]

I wish i could go back to the first time i listened to portrait of a blank slate! It was one of the best feelings in the world!

[@tomblack458]

this is 100k+ subscriber quality in a 375 sub channel expect you to get big soon mate!

[@PartTimeGeek]

WOW, thats a big compliment dude. Thank you for that and thank you for watching and commenting.

[@sprinkles06]

This is my favorite lovejoy song! If you like them and Wilbur, I'd also suggest reacting to James Marriott (Im suprised no one has suggested him to be honest.) hes a good friend of theirs, and just came out with his first album like a few weeks ago. I would suggest "Gold", or "Don't Blame Me" off the album, (my favorite) as well as "So long" is also a really good one! For Lovejoy, honestly they have a small discography and you can get away with listening to entire EPs in one video, but I would suggest "The fall," their new song "Normal people things" and litteraly all the songs from Wake up&its over.

[@nobodyknows6487]

Always love a Lovejoy reaction! Also as other people have already said...spot on with the influences lol

[@hibilbo4755]

This whole album is definitely their best stuff, the earlier albums for me had a lot of that thing where the songs were a bit iffy at first but got better the more i listened to them but this whole albums was bangers from the get go

[@AlexInTheWalls]

Lovejoy has themselves said that they are inspired by many of the bands you mentioned!

[@cinder_x3]

Oh my god you should definitely react to their other stuff as well! They're all really talented guys:) to get the full perspective of how far they've come I'd recommend listening to the music in the order it came out (Are you Alright, Pebble Brain, Wake Up & It's Over) The lead singer Wilbur Soot has his own music from before the band, his most popular being the E-girl Trilogy (includes I'm In Love With An E-girl, Internet Ruined Me and Your New Boyfriend) which is a series of comedy songs; he also has a more serious album called Your City Gave Me Asthma and then some other smaller stuff besides that (mainly Maybe I Was Boring and the incel trilogy) Will's really a creative genius when it comes to storytelling, besides his music he is a streamer and has for example made an ARG that still remains unsolved to this day (Red Herring has a really cool video about this in case you want to react!) The basist Ash Kabosu has made vlogs about their lives and music production, and Ted Nivison who directed this music video uploaded a video about the making of it on his channel in case you want to check any of that out:)

Lovejoy Lovejoy

[@PartTimeGeek]

My thoughts exactly while watching this lol. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@G.D.G.]

Love that you picked up the Muse influence!

[@Maxwellish]

5:30 such a perfect description of this band lol. i head they’re very inspired by Two Door Cinema Club.

[@PartTimeGeek]

What a good band though. If I could throw a bit of Elbow and Incubus in there, I think id have my fave band ever 😆 Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@THE-CRT]

You should listen to good kid next, witches is one of their best tracks, and also Osmosis. Good kid opens for lovejoy live and Lovejoys earlier works are very similar to Good Kid’s style of music

[@nothingherengl]

LoveJoy are insanely talented. Might be the next legend in rock music history. btw the "Taunt" is also great song by LoveJoy

[@izzzzzzzzzzzzzzy2211]

If you enjoyed this i really recommended all their other songs, specifically "its golden hour somewhere" and "call me what you like"

[@Carlygracee]

The whole album (wake up and it’s over) is so good! I highly recommend you check it out

[@xxnyaxx269]

why tf does this guy only have like 700 subs

[@justwhytho_omg]

This song has always reminded me of the album 'Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys' especially the track 'Cigarette Smoker Fiona'

[@Amelie-ek9ir]

What would you describe the Melody like ?

[@rhenlis1223]

Lovejoy is an amazing band! I also wanted to say that you kinda look like Joe Goldsmith, a member of Lovejoy. Just a thought, haha

[@LeoLisLeo]

Great reaction!

Thank you for watching and commenting. Very glad you liked it.
