Untitled

24 Hrs is the fifth studio album by English recording artist Olly Murs, released through Epic Records on 11 November 2016. The album has produced the Silver-certified "You Don't Know Love" and UK top-forty single "Grow Up". Commercially, the album debuted atop the UK Albums Chart giving Murs' his fourth UK number-one album.[1]

Promotion

Tour

In September 2016 Olly Murs announced he would embark on a UK Tour, called the 24 Hrs Tour.

Singles

The lead single from the album, "You Don't Know Love", peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart. The second single, "Grow Up" was released on 7 October 2016 and it peaked at number 25 in the UK Singles Chart. "Back Around" was made available before the album's release as an instant grat.

On 18 November 2016, after the news of the album going to number 1, Murs did a Facebook Live stream and announced that "Years & Years" would be a new single off the album.[2]

Critical reception

Neil Z. Young of AllMusic gave the album 3 and a half stars in his review writing "24 Hrs continues Olly Murs maturation, shedding some of his former pop/rock sound in favor of tighter dance-pop sheen and deeper lyrical content. The singer's fifth effort sounds slick indeed, serving up shimmering pop that connects the dots between contemporaries like the 1975, Years & Years, and DNCE. Save for the guitar-based "Grow Up," 24 Hrs' primary objective is to inspire movement. The result is a highly enjoyable LP, upbeat and fun, despite the fact that much of the lyrical content revolves around a rough breakup. Bittersweet tracks like "Better Than Me," "Love You More," and "Years and Years" are fine examples of such craftily disguised heartbreakers. Even on the title track, as Murs' laments a love that has "ripped [his] heart right out of [his] soul," he admits that "it feels so good." That's the best summary of the 24 Hrs listening experience. Produced by Steve Robson (Take That, One Direction, Christina Aguilera), the album is worthwhile based on the strength of single "You Don't Know Love" alone. That infectious track -- as well as the elastic "Unpredictable" -- sounds like something off Carly Rae Jepsen's wonderful E-MO-TION. Elsewhere, Murs flexes his heartthrob muscles with the sexy MNEK-assisted "Private" and "Read My Mind." Album-closer "Flaws" launches the one true arrow to the broken heart, the only quiet moment of restrained sadness where the music finally matches the lyrics. Ultimately, 24 Hrs is comforting and reassuring in its ability to lift the spirits, healing broken hearts through dance therapy."

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart on 18 November 2016, giving Murs his fourth consecutive UK number one album.
