A colorful and grandiose psychedelic pop album.
A beautiful fusion of homage to the psychedelic sounds of the 60s and the sophisticated pop sensibility of the late 80s.
The album depicts hope, love, and a mature outlook on life, and is characterized by a positive tone that moves beyond his previous satirical style. The diverse layering of instruments and meticulous production that pays attention to the rhythmic details create a kaleidoscope of sound.
