New Orleans-bred singer Smith has the wide range and smoky soul-pop pipes of a gentler Jennifer Hudson or an edgier Norah Jones. Here she promises herself to her new beau, skipping effortlessly from an earthy folk guitar intro to a playful, swirling chorus with serenely confident vocals.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
