Thinking Out Loud is the third studio album from Young Dolph and the first album since he was shot at a Hollywood hotel. Although this album was released after the shooting, he doesn’t make many references to the shooting itself – contrasting the previous album Bulletproof. The album has typical Dolph-like themes like jewelry in “Believe Me” and women in “Point Across”. However, he also puts his emotions into lyrics on tracks like “Thinking Out Loud” and “While You Here”. Even though Dolph has already had two public attempts on his life, he still stays true to his word and doesn’t shy away from making music or public appearances. Thinking Out Loud is proof that Dolph continues to give his fans what they want, no matter the circumstances.
