Brett Dennen was a hippie camp counselor before he became a John Mayer-approved troubadour on 2006's So Much More. So brace yourself for "Closer to You," where he admits to "wearing nothing but my birthday suit." That unsettling mental image aside, Dennen's third disc suggests he may soon give Dave Matthews a run for his tour grosses. "Make You Crazy" is a jubilant rave-up with Femi Kuti on vocals, while the quiet ballad "So Far From Me" is perfect for a dorm-room make-out. Dennen can be heavy-handed: On "Heaven," he's on about "myth misconceptions." But contrary to the disc's title, the guy's not hopeless. He just needs a thesaurus.
