These last two Summer Pop mixes have been marinating since the winter and are both essentially new to the world. And this one is really pretty, lovely fun and great– if I do say so myself. It’s got a little bit of everything in there jingle, jangle, riffs, hooks and choruses galore.
Truly, if this one doesn’t open up the clouds and keep the sun up in our sky for the rest of the summer, well, I really don’t know what else I can do…
Dig it.
