Title: Songs you will sing
Review: Like G. Love and ALO, Matt Costa belongs to a select group of artists that can call themselves musical friends of Jack Johnson. You get that same positive feeling when you listen to this first full Matt Costa album (not an E.P.) as when you listen to Jack Johnson. But Matt Costa is more diverse. A song like Whiskey and Wine is not a song that Jack Johnson would have made. You could say they went to the same school but they got their own styles after graduation. My personal favourite is Astair. Shimmering Fields is a close second. Other highlights are Yellow Taxi, Sunshine and the title-track Songs We Sing. And because it's an album that is so fresh, open and pleasent to listen to you will listen to it a lot when in doubt what to play. The result is that you'll end up singing these songs (along).
