Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does …Allow Us to Be Frank sound next to the rest of Westlife's catalogue?

Trumpet+4.0σ

The instrumentation foregrounds trumpet far more than the catalogue usually does.
