ā€œThatā€™s what I love about this album,ā€ adds Kevin Richardson. ā€œWe were able to bring all of our influences and styles into one coherent piece of work. These songs are a great representation of who we are as individuals and who we are as a group. It’s our DNA. Weā€™re really proud of that.ā€
