Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
He may have been a singer/songwriter in the classic sensitive sense -- he always seemed on the verge of baring his soul -- but Mat Kearney didn't strum an acoustic guitar while decked out in Dockers. Ever since his 2006 breakthrough, Nothing Left to Lose, he's embraced the sound of the now. Back then, it was a hybrid of Coldplay and John Mayer, but in 2018, hip singer/songwriters melded their music to fit the hazy contours of EDM-inflected introspection. Crazytalk, Kearney's fifth album, glides by easily: apart from the occasional attention-grabbing, sped-up sample, this is blissed-out reflection that's suited for any time of day, whether it's coming down after a night out or easing into a morning. Kearney spikes his songs with enough cultural references to stay lively -- "Strumming on a ukulele/She said you sound a little like Coldplay" -- but the content of the songs isn't the point: the vibe is. On that scale, Crazytalk delivers well, maintaining its chill from beginning to end. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Better than I used to be -- Face to face -- Kings & queens -- Money -- Changes -- Memorized -- Don't cry for me -- Wanted man -- Keep on loving you -- Sleeping at the wheel -- By your side -- Fortress -- I can't wait for you to get here.
Arguably the most nuanced album of Mat Kearney's acclaimed career, with EDM drops one minute and acoustic guitars the next, it nods to Kearney's history as a melody-driven songwriter who's pushing himself into new territory.
