「Breaker」™ Each song is accompanied by something very fragile, and then it builds into something much more pure and dynamic. This album is honestly worth your money. Favorite track: Hope Springs Eternal.

devoncole Classical music plus hip hop. It would be a cheap conceit if it weren't done with such incredible mastery. The rappers are layered back in the mix becoming another instrument in a gorgeous tapestry of rhythm and melody. Favorite track: Morning Light.
