The album was announced on 12 January 2018. The album serves as a follow-up to his 2014 album Dream Your Life Away (2014). with Vance Joy explaining: “Nation of Two describes a perfectly self-contained couple; their world beginning and ending at the bed they share, the car they ride in, or any other place where they’re together… the idea that their love for each other gives them their bearings; a point of reference that makes sense of life.” The concept originally appeared in the Kurt Vonnegut novel Mother Night.[2][3]At the ARIA Music Awards of 2018, Nation of Two won Best Adult Contemporary Album.[4]Table of ContentsSingles[edit]Critical reception[edit]Commercial performance[edit]Track listing[edit]Personnel[edit]Weekly charts[edit]Year-end charts[edit]Certifications[edit]Release history[edit]References[edit]Singles[edit]“Lay It on Me” was released as the lead single from the album on 12 July 2017. The song peaked at number 18 on the Australian Singles Chart and has been certified platinum. “Like Gold” was released on 3 November 2017 as the album’s second single. “We’re Going Home” was released on 12 January 2018 as the album’s third single. “Saturday Sun” was released as the fourth single on 1 February 2018. “Call If You Need Me” was released on 11 February 2018 and “I’m With You” was released as the sixth single on 21 September 2018.A week before the album’s release, Vance Joy posted a 13-second preview of “I’m With You” on his Twitter account, stating that it was one of his favorite tracks on the album. On 19 February, he revealed a 15-second preview of “Little Boy” stating that the song was about when he fell off his bike as a young boy (among other things).Critical reception[edit]Nation of Two received mixed reviews. Will Rosebury from Clash said Joy “…creates a leaner and more cohesive project that thematically focuses on the highs and lows of a romantic relationship. Although occasionally over-sentimental and by its very nature derivative, it is impossible to deny that Joy can write a touching tune.”[5] Jenna Mohammed from Exclaim! said Joy “rarely strays from the upbeat, harmonious vocals that made Vance Joy successful in 2014 on Dream Your Life Away“, adding the songs are “catchy and fun, but lack originality”.[6] Michael Hann from The Guardian said “There’s a breezy, easy attractiveness to his melodies, albeit that they never fail to do exactly what you might expect.”[7] Glenn Gamboa from Newsday said Joy “has gone deeper and broader, making singalongs that sound even bigger” and concluded “Joy may have lost the power of surprise, but he has replaced it with stronger songs that will stick with fans as long as ‘Riptide’.”[8]Commercial performance[edit]Nation of Two debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart, making it Joy’s second Australian number-one album.[10] It also debuted at number 10 on the US Billboard 200 with over 28,000 equivalent sales.[11]Track listing[edit]All tracks are co-produced by Edwin White.Personnel[edit]MusiciansJames Keogh \u2013 lead vocals (all tracks), electric guitar (tracks 1, 3, 5, 11\u201313), acoustic guitar (2\u201312), ukulele (4), Mellotron (6), 12-string guitar (7), banjo (10), piano (11, 12)Edwin White \u2013 percussion (1\u20135, 7\u201313), string arrangement (1, 8, 9); cello, harmonium, vibraphone (1); backing vocals (2, 8, 10, 11), drums (2\u20135, 7\u201312), keyboards (2, 4), synthesizer (8, 9), organ (9); electric guitar, piano (13)Tom Dziekonski \u2013 viola, violin (1)Dave Basset \u2013 backing vocals (2, 4, 5, 10), bass guitar (2\u20135, 10, 12), piano (2\u20135, 10); electric guitar, organ (3, 5); harmonium (5), keyboards (12)Brad Gordon \u2013 brass, brass arrangement (2, 3, 10); glockenspiel (2)Chris Carmichael \u2013 string arrangement, strings (3)David Baron \u2013 synthesizer (6); double bass, programming (11)Jeremy Lightfoot \u2013 bass guitar (7\u20139)Phil Peterson \u2013 cello (8, 9)Victoria Parker \u2013 violin (8, 9)Phil Sparks \u2013 bass guitar (13)TechnicalGreg Calbi \u2013 mastering (1, 2, 4, 5, 7\u20139, 11\u201313)Joe LaPorta \u2013 mastering (3, 6, 10)John O’Mahony \u2013 mixing (1, 2, 12, 13)Michael Brauer \u2013 mixing (3, 5, 10)John Castle \u2013 mixing (4)Ryan Hewitt \u2013 mixing, engineering (6)Phil Ek \u2013 mixing (7\u20139), engineering (7, 8)David Baron \u2013 mixing, engineering (11)Ryan Hadlock \u2013 engineering (1, 9, 13)Taylor Carroll \u2013 engineering (1, 9, 13)Dave Bassett \u2013 engineering (2\u20135, 10, 12)Dave Shiffman \u2013 engineering (2\u20135, 10, 12)Tobijah Rogers \u2013 engineering assistance (1, 9, 13)Morgan Stratton \u2013 engineering assistance (2\u20135, 10)Geoff Neal \u2013 engineering assistance (2)Pete Hanlon \u2013 engineering assistance (6, 11)Cameron Nicklaus \u2013 engineering assistance (7\u20139)David Hagen \u2013 engineering assistance (9, 13)Stefan Max \u2013 executive productionWeekly charts[edit]Year-end charts[edit]Certifications[edit]Release history[edit]References[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/nation-of-two-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Nation of Two – Wikipedia"}}]}]
