ALL THE ROWBOATS amazing lead single! i keep coming back to this video with the same amount of love as i did the first time i watched it. this is special, the most special!

DON'T LEAVE ME (NE ME QUITTE PAS) one of my favorite track in the album!..She always looks like she's enjoying what she sings. That's what makes Regina Spektor's songs so much enjoyable to listen to.  
HOW  sounds like one old beautiful ballad/love song! It's about a breakup song, but more than that.. I mean, this is one sensible breakup song, rather than Taylor Swift's all 3 albums combine.. Respect!.  
BALLAD OF A POLITICIAN  this is so hauntingly beautiful! another gem track in the album!

MATCHBOX TWENTY RETURNS!!!

Ten years after their album 'More Than You Think You Are', MATCHBOX TWENTY return with their fourth studio album NORTH to prove they still have what it takes to be relevant in the ever-changing music industry. Working alongside producer Matt Serletic once again, the result is an album that is much more like the band's first three albums while also highlighting a maturation process and proving that the band hasn't lost touch with the current trends in pop music. 

The first single off the album "SHE'S SO MEAN" has that uncanny knack for a hook that made them pop rock legends.

OVERJOYED is a classic matchbox twenty midtempo ballad! the best song in the album.

I'm really glad they came back. Good bands never retire or leave. The public demands they stay and entertain us over and over again.
