The Sky is Calling, 2013
An album inspired by the cosmos. Including songs abut space and also songs not about space at all. First and foremost a brilliant pop album with well crafted songs and gorgeous production. A work of love.
"We are in the universe, and the universe is in us." Neil deGrasse Tyson
