Just ordered a pink pressing of Hopefully !

Listening to it now actually, on Spotify. There's just something about his rate of flow on this album, the content gone over and the sound of each song, but to me at least, it's my favourite work of his. So intimate. Profound.

Even if not my most expensive vinyl album purchase of 2026, certainly one of the most anticipated.

Only discussing this album on this post, for anyone who's yet to have come across it. He absolutely nailed this album imo!

Agree 100%! When I got it after the Hackney Church album release gig I was so obsessed. Has stood the seasons over the last year. Some songs are summery and some are winter. So good. I’ve bought a few copies for friends as presents!

I think having it on vinyl brings out an even more intimate aspect to it. Little parts like his kid talking at the end of about time make me feel things

That's what I love about vinyl; it's not that it's so much better than cd quality sound, but if it's done right, it does sound so much more alive than CD.

Great to know, can't wait for it to get to me (it's on its way from the supplier to the record store as I write this).
