The 7-track project, which features production from Earwulf, Grammy-award-winning producers Mr. Hudson (John Legend, Janelle Monae, Jay-Z) and Stargate (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith), spotlights every side of this dynamic talent. His vocal virtuosity shines through the tender highlight “Give A Little Kindness” and pensive rumination of “Where Do We Go (When We Need Love).” At the same time, he leans into raw emotion on the likes of “Lonely Without You” where his voice connects right to the heart. Ultimately, he examines the cyclical nature of love and life across Seasons, expressing a myriad of feelings and delivering one powerhouse performance after another in the process.
