First things first. Open your ears and your heart when you listen to this album. Heralded by many as his most “honest and transparent” body of work, Gray, like his urban Ohio predecessors, presents heartfelt music designed to strengthen human relationships and communication. Using his life as the blueprint, Gray presents a 14-track project that can accurately serve as a study guide for love.

The opening track of the project gives keen foresight into the direction of this effort. Appositely titled “The Last Time”, the track causes listeners to reflect on their motives for apologies, declarations of love, and the like. Incredibly introspective and highly thought-provoking, this track sets the stage for an effort that is both challenging and therapeutic.
