"Owl City star Adam Young has said that he is working hard to make sure that his follow-up to 2009&amp;#039;s hit album Ocean Eyes is not a disappointment to fans. Young told Reuters that he is very aware that some will be looking to criticise his next release solely based on the success of his hit single &amp;#039;Fireflies&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s the whole sophomore slump thing and everybody&amp;#039;s going to say, &amp;#039;Can he do it again? Was &amp;#039;Fireflies&amp;#039; just a flash in the pan?&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The Owl City musician said that he is confident in the songs he has finished for his next release, but understands that success can be fleeting.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m pretty optimistic...and, honestly, if this is it, I&amp;#039;m absolutely grateful,&amp;quot; Young said. &amp;quot;I was working for Coca-Cola in a warehouse before any of this started, so I&amp;#039;m definitely grateful to be creating rather than hauling around pallets of soda.&amp;quot; Owl City finished a tour supporting Maroon 5 earlier this month.
