专辑简介

I had been wanting to record with Jason Martin for years but I had this nervous fanboy reverence and fear that I never approached him. Once I discovered how easy it was to talk with Frank Lenz, my fears were swayed and selected a batch of songs geared towards Jason's production. It was an edgier, guitar-laden, more focused attempt at defining my style. The songs on Favourite Hallucination sounded like 6 different styles because I love most genres and didn't want to pigeon-hole myself. I love the freedom Elvis Costello has to make a country album, then do a rocking angsty one, then compose an opera, then a collaboration with Burt Bacharach. My former manager urged me to decide on one particular sound, so I hunkered down and cranked out some of my best pop songs.
