He's even doing one of those comedy voices the eighties are famous for in the second one
 
Yes unnerving isnt it, thad bad pet shop boys impression. I really like the song though. chorus is excellent. Have you seen the strange aliases he flirts with, facial surgery, and now this old man stuff? he's an artist that seem scomofrtable in impersonation (MJ, pharrell, prince at time, and now british artists). His now mates with jim carey who features on the album too. an interesting case study in performativity there

I refuse to listen to him he's one of those people I don't want to risk getting into. I'd rather not be into him it's too knowing and conceptual for me

I got into him through house of balloons and those few bits with drake after, then he lost me with his first two albums. But after hours had loads of crackers on it. Blinding lights is one of the best pop tunes of the last few years, nobody is listening to that and not tapping their foot and pining cmon!

Really clumsy awkward lyrics but otherwise I like it. I like all of this pretend eighties pop.
