“Honesty” kicks off the album at an upbeat pace, and it instantly lures listeners into this musical effort. It is followed by the crisp, polished ballad “Underwater,” and the optimistic “Hold On,” which is full of encouragement.
He shows some attitude on “Hate This Town,” while “Got You” had a neat groove to it. “American Roads” is up-tempo and progressive, and “Jacob’s Dream” is sheer bliss. Equally noteworthy is the piano-laden “Neverending December,” whose lyrics are pure poetry, and the stirring “Heroes/Ghosts.”
“I Guess I’ll Just Lie Here” is a heavenly acoustic ballad, and it closes with “I Had a Dream Last Night,” which builds into a musical event, and on a fitting note with “I Miss Writing Songs.”
Gemini is available on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music.
