...tunes, generating some of the album’s more moving pieces and adding to the cheerful and energetic whole. The album opener and lead single, “My Life Would Suck Without You,” despite the horrendous title, stands out with its catchy melody, electrifying chorus, and danceable beats.

On the lively “Breathe”—a contender for the album’s best song—he spits the lyrics with so much snarling fervor that when he shouts “I found grace?...
