After hearing the lead off single from the album, “Everywhere, Everyone”, I was very intrigued by what I heard and was anxious to hear more. I pre-ordered the album, received it in the mail, and gave it a few spins. If you want to hear about one of the best albums I have heard so far this year then you should keep reading.
