Night and Day II

A cinematic, string-laden sequel to his 1982 classic. Sophisticated piano pop meets gritty New York storytelling through a theatrical, multi-vocalist lens.

It’s like a Broadway play about New York's dark side, but with way better piano hooks.

A sophisticated, cinematic exploration of urban isolation and the dark allure of the city at night.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring, aggressive piano chords and street-noise samples that anchor the frantic pace of Hell of a Town.
The haunting interplay of multiple guest vocalists on Happyland, creating a ghostly choir of city dwellers.
The transition from the sparse, classical Prelude into the driving, rhythmic pulse of the main album.
