The Spectrum is the second studio album by British recording artist Daley. It was released on 14 July 2017 through BMG and The End Records.
Critical reception[edit]
The Spectrum received generally mixed reviews from music critics. Spectrum Culture editor Daniel Bromfield called that it a "frustratingly generic R&B album and not a terribly well thought-out one." He rated the album three stars out of five and wrote that "most of the best moments on the album are sourced directly from [Daley's] throat, in part because of the beauty of his vocals and in part because there’s not much else to grab one here."[1]
Commercial performance[edit]
In the United States, the album failed to chart on the Billboard 200, though it debuted and peaked at number 13 on the Independent Albums chart.[2] It also placed seventh on the Heatseekers Albums chart.[3]
