This is an album of songs that youll want to crank up in the car or on your iPod in the summer.

This album has hit written all over it packed with catchy hooks, brilliant songwriting and immaculate production.Īfter the amazing success of Letters to the President, as well as the TV and film appearances theyve made, its no surprise that Hawk Nelson delivered a great record that will please its fans.
