3AM (La La La)
3AM (La La La) is the third studio album by Australian electro pop band, Confidence Man. It was released on 18 October 2024. The album was announced on 5 June 2024 alongside the release of its lead single, "I Can't Lose You".[1] In speaking with NME, the band said: "The whole album is very London-inspired, the sounds and the lyrics. It's [about] a group of friends moving over to London and not knowing what the fuck is going on – just the general excitement of being in a new place."[4] Speaking with Rolling Stone Australia in June 2024, Janet Planet said: "We pretty much wrote every single song when we were wrecked. We'd get blasted and stay up till 9am coming up with music, but we noticed that 3am was the hottest time for when we were on it and the best ideas were coming out."[1] Critical reception
Jenny Valentish from The Guardian called the album "a playful, energetic trip down memory lane".[7] James Jennings from Rolling Stone said "Confidence Man have always straddled the fine line between tongue-in-cheek pop and serious party music, and it's a formula they've perfected on their excellent third album."[9] Gary Ryan from NME said "Inspired by '90s saucer-eyed rave culture and London nightlife, their third album sees Confidence Man raise the hedonism stakes."[8] Robin Murray from Clash called the album "A spectacular slice of dancefloor deviance" also saying " 3AM (La La La) is Confidence Man at their raviest, their naughtiest, their most confident."[6] Year-end lists
