This fun rock collection is perfect for a heartfelt singalong on that road trip you take with trusted comrades to get away and re-centre. Its themes are absolutely essential for the bounce back: courageous optimism and audacious yearning despite life’s road bumps—whether it’s lost love, rejection or starting over again. The fifth project from the Ontario singer is a reminder to be kind to yourself through it all.
