2. Thinking ‘Bout Somethin’
- “The first single, ‘Thinking ‘Bout Somethin’’, one of the songs that features brass, will keep you humming for days, with lyrics about putting a loose lover in her place underscored by a huge chorus, Wurlitzer, horns and Zac’s drumstick dancing on a cowbell. Even the lyrics are chock-full of R&B references from Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin and others.”
Who Sings Lead? – TAYLOR

Who Sings Lead? – Taylor

4. Carry You There
- “‘Carry You There’ harkens back to The Walk, with its message of motivation and connectedness and its gospel choir – ‘It’s one of our biggest themes, to rise above your troubles,’ Isaac says.”
Who Sings Lead? – Taylor

5. Give a Little
- “…led by the second single ‘Give A Little’, which stands out as one of the few tracks driven by a distinctive guitar melody, harkening back to pure 60’s pop.”
Who Sings Lead? – TBA

6. Make It Out Alive
- “‘Make It Out Alive’ is the definition of that pure piano-driven pop style with its unabashed technicolor horn arrangements and singable melodies.”
Who Sings Lead? – Taylor
_____________________________________
7. And I Waited
- “‘And I Waited’ brings in a tougher edge signaling a change in mood from with a four-on-the-floor kick drum and a darker lyrical undertone, helmed by Zac on lead vocals.”
Who Sings Lead? – Zac

11. Voice In the Chorus
- “‘Voice In The Chorus’ is the record’s climax, launching with driving piano into a tightly-arranged deceptively complex track about a kiss-off to a fair-weather friend, and backed up by a ruckus ensemble of all the textures heard throughout the album.”
Who Sings Lead? – Taylor
_____________________________________
12. Me Myself and I
- “The final somber tone of ‘Me Myself And I’ brings the album to its conclusion, shining a light on the band’s trademark tight, three-part harmonies and craftsman songwriting, without overproduction or sheen.”
Who Sings Lead? – Taylor / Three-Part Harmony
