Happiness, Guaranteed. is the second studio album by Australian indie electronic trio, Mansionair. The album was announced in March 2022 and released on 29 April 2022.[8][9]

Mansionair said, "This album is about wrestling with the idea of happiness. That it is not a destination that we ultimately arrive at. Reframing contentment and learning how to navigate ourselves in a world so geared toward success and arriving." The album was created in two writing trips outside of Sydney, while the second album feature collaborations.[5]

## Reception

[edit]

Christine Sloman from Melodic Mag said "Overall, Happiness, Guaranteed. is a gripping exploration of life's many cycles. It is definitely possible to find happiness, but as much as we would love to keep it forever, it cannot always stay with us. Mansionair have beautifully shown that life is a never-ending adventure, filled with moments that make us appreciate what we have, but also encourage us to go after more. As long as we evolve, the quest for happiness will also evolve, guaranteed."[10]

Steph Wanderling from EDM Identity said "There really is a lot to listen to in the album, more than the beat. The lyrics speak to you on a spiritual level, and we've all been in positions where at least one song can fit the mood. So if you're in the mood for something other than the electronic dance music that is constantly being put out, this is a wonderful change of pace."[11]
