Released March 19 on Mercury Records, the 12 tracks showcase the 24-year-old's songs that flip around clichés that aren't worried about being patriotic.

LETTER LETTER

Despite a dysfunctional Congress unwilling to put America’s best interests over partisan objectives, our economy continues to slowly recover.
